Comment:

Back to reformatting! Well, I got pretty heavily into progressive-rock epic territory on Disc #1, with ELP's "Tarkus" and King Crimson's "Starless" - as well as the Doors' "When The Music's Over" closing out the set. Interestingly enough, we start out fairly conventionally with five classic-rock radio standards, which is then followed by a BOC's "In Thee" (a pretty love song written by keyboardist Allen Lanier for his ex-girlfrien-d, punk priestess Patti Smith). Regarding Disc #2: Just for the record, I must confess that the version of Pink Floyd's "Echoes" which kicks things off here is the edit from the 2-CD "Echoes" compilation, not the full-length original from 1971's "Meddle" album. While that may possibly be offensive from a purist standpoint, in my humble opinion it's actually a minor improvement. Also, has anybody seen the 1980 movie "Times Square"? Well, the Manics number from 1992 is a cover of a song from its soundtrack called "Damn Dog," at one point performed in a club by one of the ch-aracters in the movie with her band! Also, the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" is on the soundtrack of the same film, so there must have been some stream-of-consciousness thing going on with me there! And the set closes out with a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle And The Drum," sung by APC's Maynard James Keenan in multi-tracked acapella.

I just finally bought the "King of Pain" 7" for my collection the other day. I don't know why, but it's taken over 20 years for that Police album to grow on me. I've always liked their earlier ones so much more. Hope your New Year gets off to a good start, Mr. Pazuzu. keep the mixes coming. [as if you wouldn't.] ;-)
