547 Ubu Smallbones

This came from my desire to include Coil and Blue next to each other somehow.  Plus, the Lou Reed meditations album is just wonderful and I've been wanting to use part of this somewhere.  The Moby track is just me adding the bassline from the original to the "Aquamix" remix - I love both versions however felt the remix was missing that groove.

546 Lushed

A wonderful track from Orbital with some classic remixes, and here 32 years after its release I'm still coming back to it time and time again.   What I've done for this mix is include those originals (1-3) and era remixes (3-5, 7, 13) along with bootleg (9-10) and disguised remixes (6, 8, 12, 14) from peers and modern artists.  I read that Vapourspace created four remixes, and only as of recently two of them have been released.  Hopeful the remaining tracks will see the light of day sometime.  Despite this being 14 versions of the same track, there is plenty of depth and variety making it an engaging listen all the way through.

545 A dread of specters and witches

The song titles gave a spooky vibe, which inspired the title.  Thanks to Nathan's blog for supplying several of these tracks.  This is not your typical roots style dub mix.  Lots of interesting finds tossed together with some expected artists.

Download unmixed as Spotify didn't have most of these tracks.

544 I dreamt a dream last night

Title is a translation of the Opiate track.  I'd recently been investigating Skull, as having only heard them on the Macro Dub Infection CDs.  The rest of this mix just fell into place from there.

543B Bootgaze

Fun name for this style, and appropriate in my opinion.  Somehow I had previously overlooked the wonderful world of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack work.  Sure I'd seen these movies but neglected to pick up the soundtracks which are great and really do compliment the films as a great composer should.
