I made a new "themed" one called "From sunset to shunshine", here is the tracklist ( I'll add the download link as soon as my kind friend finds the time tu put the file up..)

1. Martina Topley Bird - Sandpaper Kisses
2. Radiohead - The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy
3. Tricky - Pumpkin
4. Bartòk (an italian band, not the composer) - Kinds Of Waters
5. Devics - Heart And Hands
6. Elysian Fields - Rolling
7. Bauhaus - All We Ever Wanted
8. Polly Paulusma - She Moves In Secret Ways
9. Emiliana Torrini - The Sunny Road
10. The Delgados - Pull The Wires From The Wall

1+2 - the sun is going down and you're quite tired going back to your home from work
3+4- you're home, relaxing, drinking some red wine and thinking you won't go out and stay at home, your mind is full of ideas/thoughts
5 - you can't sleep 'coz you're in love/sad/have too many things in your mind
6 - you eventually fall asleep
7 - it's dawn , your dog/cat/goldfish wakes you up jumping on your bed(remember to put the fish back in its bowl, if needed) but you're happy, if you don't have a pet it's ok, you simply wake up with a strange smile on your face.
8 - first piss/thoughts of the day
9 - you get ready to go out
10 - you decide to ride your bike to get where you need to go and will live happily ever after.

I like that idea. How about something like this video of Stan Brakhage being interviewed. His voice could be used as one of the many samples.
It would go against his belief that music is an aesthetic error in film.

Edit: Um... nevermind. Crap idea.

i wanted to use a demo version, but it looks like those demo version have limited functions which actually prevents you from doing effectively a mix (like the fact that you can only use 60-second files). or if not, there is a voice urging you to buy the full version.

anyway, i will look into it more tonight (i didn't really have time yesterday so maybe i misunderstood things).

I use Traktor, it's a kickass mix software with all them thingies and gizmos to make a great mix (EQ, frequence kill, looping, cue, reverse mode,...) and very easy to use.

enjoy

Nice! Downloading both of those now.

I still haven't listened to all the music you sent me nicfit. The lazy bastard that I am.

[nicfit]

Heeee, don't worry toko, take your time! Hope you'll enjoy most of those bands.

[Tokolosh]

Listening to your mix now nicfit. Great Sunday music compilation!

Kegmama, yours brings back memories.

[nicfit]

If "Sunday music" conveys the ideas/moods/feelings descibed in my little notes to the tracks I'll gladly take that as a compliment !

[porkmarras]

Bump!I still have to listen to your latest mix Nicfit.WHAT?No more mixes,you lazy sods?

[Tokolosh]

Let this thread die already... Nah! I'll try to make another poor attempt soon.

[o o o]

I have been working very hard on it, I swear, but it's taking more time than expected…

I already transferred a first version of my mix in a wav file, but the software I used put a voice that says "this is a demo version of blablabla" every fifteen fucking seconds!... now, I'll be doing one with the mixmeister demo version, as they don't seem to put their voice that often. I'm still very annoyed that there will be this voice, but I have been struggling for days with this mix, and i really want to complete it now…

I hope I will be able to post it tonight (there a still a few changes I might make).

[_slavo_]

Ah, shit, I will upload mine tomorrow finally!!!! I promise!!!

(45 minutes)


it is actually the first mixtape or mix I’ve ever done – or at least I don’t recall ever doing one in my life... so please excuse me if it’s rubbish. I realise it’s more a mash-up of songs than a mix. it probably only makes sense in my head, and I’m not even sure it does make sense in my head now, but as I’ve spent all the last evenings reworking, rearranging, changing all the tracks up to the point of slowly driving mad, I might as well post it now as it is and stop losing my time struggling with it…


I enjoyed a lot racehorse’s and porkmarras’s (the first one, the only one i listened to) mixes, but I still have to listen to the others… oh and I initially wanted to include Malaria! but I saw that pokkeherrie already did…

[o o o]

Ah and yes, unfortunately there is this annoying "this was done with a demo version, please buy the software" voice that appears regularly and perhaps ruins everything… i just couldn't find a free software that didn't have restrictions preventing me to do the mix as i wanted...

[porkmarras]

Nervermind.I'll listen to it regardless.More interesting and creative than the opinions that get posted about subjects that don't even get explored in any depth,like,ever.

[porkmarras]

Awesome mix.This is the way i like it.

10/10

Totally!
