Comment:

Well, I suppose you could say that this one's a tad more conventional, coming after the heavily cinematic leanings of MIX #75! Although as you can plainly see, I have not dispensed with soundtrack numbers altogether.

For starters, the kickoff track is a number from Italian progsters Goblin called Safari, which can be heard in the European version of George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. It can be heard during the heroes' visit to the mall's gunshop when they're stocking up on ammo, and it's actually slightly different from the music cue which is used in the American version. Goblin's track has this thumping tribal-sounding percussion, and the group members making vocal chants of "boo-yaa!" and "oo-mau-mau!" I actually used it because at first I thought it would be a cool idea to start Disc #1 off with the Intro and Eat The Rich from Aerosmith's Get A Grip (1993), but then I thought it would be even cooler if I used the Goblin track to lead into it. (And if you've heard both tracks, it'll be plain and bloody obvious why!)

I also included my two favorite numbers from the rock/rap-crossover soundtrack disc for the '93 film Judgment Night (which I actually haven't seen yet!): Slayer & Ice-T's thundering, slamming Disorder (which is actually a medley of Exploited covers, although as of this moment I'm not 100% sure which ones) and the hilarious Freak Mama, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration from Seattle's grungiest rockers Mudhoney and Seattle's bawdiest rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot! (SIDE NOTE: I'm actually not really all that much of a rap fan from a purely musical standpoint. The Judgment Night soundtrack disc, the first release by Ice-T's Body Count - y'know, the one originally with Cop Kil-ler! - and the entire Rage Against The Machine catalogue are actually the closest thing in my collection to anything rap. The presence of real guitars, bass and drums probably has a lot to do with that!)

Elsewhere, you might want to use Google to check out the lyrics to Tracks #11-13 on Disc #1 to find out exactly why I decided to put them all together in sequence! [*wink*] I also came up with a sizzlingly insurrectionary closing sequence (#14-20) for Disc #1, which I heartily dedicate to fellow mixer and collaborator Captain Hi-Top! (And I also have to thank the good Captain for indirectly inspiring me to include numbers from Pearl Jam's underrated '96 disc No Code on both MIXES #75-76!)

I found a run here that I like, from Oasis to the Beatles, but the otehr stuff doesn't do much for me. I love that Stones tune though, my favorite album of theirs.

What about 'Licensed To Ill'? Or Run DMC? Or Tone Loc? A sampled riff can still do the damage!I saw Bodycount years ago at Brixton Academy, they smashed it. They stood out 'cos Ice had something to say and he was funny with it, not just angry.

Nice use of the Goblin track. Also like the Oasis, Dolls, X, and REM tracks.

Excellent X track. And love that Nirvana song, sort of brooding and menacing.
