If tracks 7-10 (mostly what I know here) are any indication, this is a fantastic psyche-pop mix. And a great cover, too! Man, I love that Monkees tune.

Don't know most of these but I suspect they'd go good with a dish of those purple mushrooms on the cover . . .

That Monkees songs is nice .... and um, that Monkees song is really nice (what I'm trying to say is that I don't recognize anything else). Lovely cover too. Man, those are some big shrooms!

Great Mix! Especially like the 7-10 section and 13,17. Really nice to see the Asteroid No. 4 track.

Looks more like the VALIS mutation to me. and a pretty benign one at that, as it seems . . .

I have to go along with NOV in saying that I don't know these songs, but the source is impeccable. Hope you have been well, Valis. I can almost hear the ball hitting the mit now!

Very cool, Valis. Let me know if you still want to do a trade. Currently, I'm compiling a bunch of disks for my older brother.

As I sit hear listening to this mix, I can't believe how many artists, not represented here, it reminds me of.
It seems like a stoner trip back to the late sixties and seventies. I wasn't expecting this from you Valis but a masterpiece nevertheless. One last thing...I've noticed in the past that you tend to begin mixes with instrumentals. Am I wrong?

Much belated thanks for this great mix, friend! (And apologies for the delay.) I was enjoying it again today, as the perfect companion to a beautiful spring day. I particularly love tracks 5 through 8 (or 9 . . . or 10 . . .) and the Mojave 3 selection. Absolutely wonderful!

oh joys of AOTM! What wonders are contained within its portals. Especially on this mix. That Octopus track makes me Syng! The rest of the tracks I know of are nothing less than brilliant.
