Comment:

Since joining this site a couple of months ago I've been fascinated with this Ultimate Mix Challenge (described under the writings tab of AOTM). I vowed that I would make one and so here goes. It's a two disc set of which this is the first.


In some ways it reflects my personal music tastes, but that said, I didn't think I'd ever have a mix with both The Tempations and Guy Clark on one disc.


Give it a listen (first track will get you the full download on a .zip file) and let me know what you think. I would love to see a couple of these posted by other members to see other great covers/transitions. You'd be suprised how long it takes to fit some of these artists together.


Be sure to check out Disc 2 also available for download.

Fantastic, and every song a winner. I pulled one of these off, but am still mising a song. Interesting how certain artists pop up in the loop. http://www.artofthemix.org/FindAMix/getcontents.asp?strMixID=93365

This is great but I thought it was mandatory to have Guy Clark and The Temps together on every mix.
