Comment:

This is the result of my first collaboration with the venerable Barrydali--a collaboration whose genesis dates back in November or so. Back then, Barry sent me 80 minutes' worth of music in no particular order, essentially leaving me to pick my favorite 40 minutes from what he had chosen, then leaving me the task of placing *those* tracks in mixing order, then finally allowing me the chance to fill in the gaps. It took me forever to finally get around to doing all three things, but I'm more than happy that I did. Lovely and cool stuff all around from his end, for sure. FYI: I'm on the odds, Barry's on the evens. Thanks to SwankQueen for the Dub Narcotic and Circle Square tracks. The title is from the Unbunny track.

When you two get together the result can only be awesome. Glad to see Wire, Mendoza Line, and Hank, among others.

Oh wow, what a way to be greeted back after a week or so of absence - two of my favourite mixers teaming up for a predictably awesome collaboration, even featuring one of my all-time top-25 Elephant Micah (whom I just saw live twice this week) tracks! Very, very cool.

Looks like youve nailed this good and proper Mr C, I had all but forgotten which tracks I had sent so the odds/evens info was even useful to me! Can't wait to hear it. Great opener.
