The Brainwashed.com website is quite likely the first website I ever visited on the internet in the late 90's. It was originally an information repository for Meat Beat Manifesto, including the bones of a sample list, discography, and related projects. The site quickly grew to host many other artists, and had a weekly zine called The Brain, which covered obscure record reviews. This was very influential on my budding music exploration and exposed me to countless artists I may not have found otherwise. Then there was the superb "Brain in the Wire" 3 CD sets given away through the Wire monthly subscription. The Otology series (and CD) and the Brainwaves concert / CDs. One of my favorites was "The Eye" a frequent video interview and concert footage program of the hosted artists. I believe most of those episodes are on YouTube now, however I still have all the DVDrs on my shelf. Can't forget to mention the V/VM 365 project or how they used to have all their albums for download on the site. So much excellent music, and was on top of the game for nearly 20 years. The site is still around, still posting record reviews, but all the artist pages are sadly neglected.
This is part 1 or 2 showcasing the artists I fell in love with via Brainwashed. Its a long mix because there are so many freakin amazing artists on the site to cover. For whatever reason at the time, I didn't finish part 2 until months later (Its Mix #199, so be patient and it will arrive in due course).
