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.
