Comment:
Well, I haven't posted in a while. Shame on me. The usual excuses you have heard before still apply - too busy socially, university work blah blah and all that jazz. Back on target...This mix was both a spontaneous and a crafted creation. Spontaneous in the sense that, as if by random, my girlfriend (bless her soul) asked me (with a pretty please) for a mix CD choc full of tracks we had both been listening to a lot recently. Obviously, I was happy to oblige and as such - in a flash of a moment, the idea was born.
When I say 'crafted', I mean that instead of hopping onto the PC and burning a random CD there and then I said "I'll get back to you on that one dear." And set about making it over a couple of days. I wanted the transitions to sound good - rather than the mix just being a CD with some random tracks we liked on it. I wanted there to be a good selection of songs which blended well together. This is what I have attempted here.
Some may not enjoy a few of the tracks on here, but I ask you to give it a download and give it a good listen and try and see where I was going with the blends between tracks. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The CD is both hard hitting and at the same time personal - as it contains some hard thought and input from myself and many of these tracks remind me of good times gone by. Also, from my perspective - they are all "killer" tunes.
I picture a seismograph when I play this back to myself. With all it's rampant fluctuations - up and down...softer here...jagged lines all over the place there. A team of geographical and geological experts puzzling over what it all means. Doom, or just the comings and goings of day to day plate tectonic life? Bah, me and my sidetracks.
I hope I have shed some light on the situation here and hope that at least some of you enjoy it!

Feedback:
Ah the prodigal returns with a collection of scary looking tracks. I fear for my eardrums but as I know 4 tracks here and like them all (especially the Metallica tune) I shall download this bad boy and pay attention to these transitions you speak of. Ta.
This has shattered a few self-erected barriers. Expertly constructed with essential notes that make listening imperative. I'm familiar with the artists herein; most fall into my "half-an-ear" category. No longer - my ears are open, wide open and neural connections are rampaging like a victorious army. This is what a good mix should do. This mix does it with spades. It's the personal touch that makes the breakthrough. Surely it's not possible to like everything, but Yomma has wiles and ways to start the process. PLAY IT LOUD!
Loved the opening, have always had a soft spot for Skunk Anansie and that is undoubtabtly their finest hour. Couldn't quite fathom the Trivium track and was lukewarm to Lamb of God. But from there on my feet were tapping as I tried to choose between sirloin and rib eye in the meat aisle of my local hypermarket. Even GNR didnt kill the mood although I'm very much agin them! Segues wise the whole thing was very very well done. I urge you to get off your lazy arse and post more, and while you're at it tell pater to do the same!
I'm afraid that Trivium, Lamb of God and Fear Factory are just the sort of things my next-door neighbors enjoy playing at volume level #9 at two o'clock in the morning. it's no fun having an angry person screaming at you through the walls, at that hour in particular. so the deck was stacked against you from the start. also, I'm not allowed to play any more of your mixes in the workplace. in spite of everything, I'm downloading your latest and plan to play it at work anyhow, revealing only afterwards that the mix was indeed yours, much to everyone's astonishment. and track #3 was absolutely wonderful.
