Music for the Summer Solstice 2022. Nothing really spiritual about this, other than the timing of it all last year. A little bit of everything in here, just how I like it. Love the layered vocals of this Spiritualized track, still one of my favorites of theirs. I was blown away by Bob Mould's remix as it was completely unexpected. The Joe Strummer/Jack Kerouac track is also a nice find of recent years. This Midwinter track does appear in several of my mixes, and my kids like singing the chorus too, placed here as a great segue to In Gowan Ring and Sol Invictus. Then some globe travelling before heading back to a one off with the former member of Scorn and Bill Laswell for a mellow but unsettling end to this mix.
