Comment:

Here's yet another reformatting of past CD mixes, this time of MIX #6 (formerly Discs #11-12, of course). Overall, I'd have to say that Disc #1 turned out pretty good. The o-pening two songs actually work together really well! You might very well wonder, what the heck would Motley Crue and King Crimson ever have in common - if anything?? Well, the answer is that both songs are dark, heavy, aggressive songs whose lyrics describe the experience of a kind of urban hell (albeit in very different terms). The two songs complement each other surprisingly well, and sustain a very cool, menacing mood!

Also, notice that I've got Patti Smith (doing a Beatles cover) back-to-back with her late husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith (guitarist for the MC5). I just had to do that at least once! I also thought that Led Zeppelin's No Quarter and Yes's South Side Of The Sky went really well together on Disc #2. And in my (not so) humble opinion, Low Man's Lyric is probably one of Metallica's more underrated late-'90s songs.

Odd feelings of deja vu... almost like, somehow, I've actually seen these before... only before, I had to click two separate links to see what I can now see by clicking a single link. Perhaps if, by rapidly clicking the mouse through both of those two earlier links, I could actually create an optical illusion of sorts, conjuring an image almost like the one currently on my screen. The same, only different.
I do think it's important for everyone to recognize that, while at first blush this might appear to simply be an entirely irrlevant combination of two preexisting posts into a single post, it is so very much more than that. The juxtaposition of those two mixes into a single screen shot confirms that, as one up until now could only have suspected but without definitive proof, the whole is indeed greater than the two halves. Or, more precisely, that it is exactly the same as two halves. Only on a single screen.
Needless to say, one must also consider the resource savings of the new mix. In a universe where scarce resources remain a threat to our way of life, if not our very existence, one cannot belittle the import of such savings. For, where before two entirely separate parcels of this great thing we call "The Internet" were occupied by mixes (and, specifically, Discs #11-12), now only a single parcel of "The Internet" is occupied by the mix. (Well, actually, now three parcels of "The Internet" are thusly occupied, assuming the predecessor mixes have not been deleted; but, then again, were those to be deleted, one could only speculate as to whether or not this mix truly encapsulated those two prior mixes in their exact running order, with neither omissions nor additions.)
