Episode 182c - Collaborations and Remixes

Day 3

Bryn Jones was never one to miss an opportunity to rework someone's music that he was impressed by. However, story has it he never liked it when people did remixes of his own output.  That being said, there are several great tracks that he collaborated on, remixed others, or had his own work remixed.  I've selected several of these here, though there are many more, including the incredible collaborations with Bass Communion, Apollon, The Rootsman, and Reverberation.  I'm sure I'll eventually make part two of this topic at some point in the near future.

Despite my hopes that all these tracks would be available on Spotify because they are likely more well known artists, I was disappointed to find only 4 or 5 were there, and so I left off the spotify playlist this time.

00:00  Master Margherita - Red Gauze

07:06  Suns of Arqa - Find The Missing Chord

I'm kicking off a week of my favorite artist, so sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

This first mix focuses on the ambient/drone output which is present in most tracks though buried under the trademark harsh and heavy percussion.  While not completely without drums or rhythm, this is a mellow droning ambient wash of pleasant noise for about an hour.

Episode 181 - Extraordinary Genius and Naïve Incompetence

A descent into madness over two hours.  My longest mix to date, but that is because it takes time to unfold all this wonderful and bizarre music.  I had so much fun compiling this one, and kept finding more tracks to add to it.  Always looking for any reason to include Volcano the Bear and The Residents into a mix, this just grew with all those odd tracks I'd been saving for something special.

Episode 180 - Iron Maiden

This mix is always in flux.  About every three months I will add and remove tracks depending on my mood.  Here it is in probably the most consistent iteration over the last couple years.  I grew up loving Iron Maiden.  The first cassettes I bought were from my sister's friend when I was in sixth grade; Powerslave and Seventh Son.  Immediately purchased the guitar tab book for both and learned every song and solo.  It wasn't until 2016 that I was fortunate to see them live.  A friend had free tickets to the box seats at Pepsi arena, and what a wild experience that was - we had a waiter that brought us food and drinks which were all comped due to the owner of the box.  Plus it was just three of us in the box.  What an incredible show that was.   Followed immediately by me getting called into work at 1am for a critical outage that lasted 12 hours.

Episode 174 Two Cures

I think a lot of people in my generation that grew up listening to the Cure all had a point where they stopped liking them. In my opinion, Disintegration was the last good album that I was really into. Anything that came after that was too pop oriented, over produced, and lacked the elements I had loved from their evolution in the 80's. I know people that love their 90's-00's output, and I still hear "Friday I'm In Love" on the radio at least every other week. Its just not for me.

I've split my version of the Cure's greatest hits into two genres, post-punk and gothic dream-pop.

Episode 171 - Samples used by MBM

Jack Dangers has impeccable taste in choosing samples, which are essential components or hooks to his tracks.  Here I have selected a few dozen examples which should be easily recognizable for any casual listener.  Though MBM may only use a few seconds, I have included about a minute or so of each track to show more of where it came from.   The YouTube playlist has even more as I added some film dialogue samples too.  This should supplement my previous post Episode 125 that covers most of their formative years.
