515A The Accessible Side of Difficult Music




I have always loved a wide variety of styles of music.  Some of my favorite tracks to seek out are those diamonds in the rough on what is usually classified as difficult music.  Over these six mixes I took several of the compilations I have of some more hard to get into music, the kind I usually don't play when friends are around, and selected three tracks off each.  There were a couple where I only selected one or two tracks.  I then split them into three camps: post-punk/no-wave, ambient/electronics, & strange/odd.  Each grouping ended up with one track off each comp.  I then split those in half due to length and the result is six wonderfully strange and engaging mixes that I feel turned out really well.  This all started with me wanting to hear "Nostalgie Eternelle - A Perfect Situation" again, but not remembering which comp it was on.  

Welcome to the Accessible Side of Difficult Music

Here is a list of the compilations I sourced for these tracks.




On to the track listing for the first mix:

00:00  Thurston Moore - 101% (remix by Blur)
05:40  Stars as Eyes - Cellophane
09:06  Madensuyu - Thread On, Thread Light
13:56  Kill Ugly Pop - Let's Get Real Gone
17:26  White Stains - Let It Be Thus
22:03  High Volture - Broken Word
27:23  Jack Dangers - A Strange Case of Instrumentation
30:39  Matmos - A Song For The Appeal
34:13  The Dirt Eaters - No Xpressway
37:21  Hood - Hood Vs Aube
40:01  The Wellwater Conspiracy - The Far Side of the Moon
43:12  Seven That Spells - Terminus East
48:13  The Legendary Pink Dots - A Moustache on the Mona Lisa and Other Things You May Find in the Neighbour's Trash
51:37  Nostalgie Eternelle - A Perfect Situation
56:00  Jackhammer Five - She Said
58:51  Novo Homo - Nothing New on the Western Front
65:48  Edward Ka-Spel - Comedown (edit)
70:20  I-C-K - Bataillon d'Horreurs
73:14  The The - Flesh and Bones
77:08  Un Festin Sagital - Devocicn

514 Its a little bit magic

512 Underworld's long jams from 1993-96



This was made on a whim.  Back in my teenage years, I fell in love with Underworld's "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" album and related singles.  By the time "Second Toughest in the Infants" was released, my interest had already started to wane.  Then their hit single with Trainspotting ended my interest as I heard it a few too many times.  Still, back in 1994 they were at their trancey peak, so I put this mix together of their longform songs from that time.  The version of Tin There is from a split with Daft Punk in 96, and not the EP version from Pearl's Girl in 97.

00:00  Second Hand
08:53  Thing in a Book
28:49  215 Miles
48:22  Dark Train
58:05  Change
66:06  Dark Hard
77:16  Dogman Go Woof  
89:12  Rez
98:58  Tin There

505 Unexpected Gamelan part 5



Might by my last in this series, but in  no way am I scraping the bottom of the barrel for these tracks.  This set has some more traditional Gamelan tracks mixed in with the rest.  Sure some of it isn't native Gamelan instruments like Jan Jelinek and Lull, however they do sound similar enough and really fit the vibe I was after.

02:44  Glen Kotchke - The Travelling Turtle
08:04  Gamelan Pacifica feat Jessika Kenney - Tsuki
14:36  The Infinite Wheel - Lake of Dreams

504 Too Strange To Be Good



A fun one made of some mostly electronic tracks that just didn't have a home in previous mixes. Not surprisingly, they all fit together really well here.  Glad I keep a folder of all my leftovers from mixes cause I can revisit them and make something cohesive.  This one I had on loop at work the other day and before I knew it I had already listened to the whole mix three times in a row.

511 Mystery Tracks for ola ;p



Commenter ola ;p has been a great help identifying some of my tracks tagged as "unknown."  These were files I've had for 20+ years mostly, and never had them properly identified so I'm pleased to put a name to the music after a long time.  Here I've put together more to accommodate their offer to try and identify them.  Nothing really groundbreaking in this set, however I'd sure like to know who some of them are to handle my intermittent Type A personality.

Here is the tracklist, including the file names I have.  I've included some notes as appropriate.  I'll keep updating this as more are identified.

1) DJ Owakari - A Cup of Coffee
2) Silver Mountain Music Group - Xemti
3) Le Tigre - LT Four Theme
4) Capricorns - November Suicides
5) Chain - Chains
6) Mushroom's Patience - Burial Dance
7) Danny Hyde - The Great White Hype
8) unknown dub track
9) aa yt (I'd be willing to bet this was my CD-r drive failing while ripping the track and not an actual song)
10) Stockhausen - Gesang Der Junglinge
11) Seefeel - Morningdrop remxis (yes that typo is in the file name, also I'm a big Seefeel fan and this does legitimately sound like them, however I can't find it on any album, ep, comp or remix)
12) 78 R.P.M. - Dry Spell
13) Fila Brazilla - Subtle Body
14) Martin Kranzel - Yirat HaShem
