Comment:

Title from Mr. So-and-so. Everybody knows it's "romantic", but do they know it's a "single mix-artist" mix? Yes, constructed from 100% recycled material; culled from 13 magical, touching, and "throbbingly propulsive" mixes I've had the privilege to set ears upon. It's all too beautiful. It seems only natural to condense them into highlights not much less cheesy than the "Stars on 45" medley of precocious years gone by. I mean, not really noteworthy to anyone but the parties involved -- but still, I like to keep a tracklist for posterity. Perhaps I was avoiding the "curse of the mix-tape" by re-mixing on CD, or needed a sweet snack before the meat of a more original endeavo(u)r? (Perhaps regurgitation is really the highest form of flattery -- it's been posited that food-sharing in such a manner kicked off the behavior we now know as kissing, after all.) However it's justified, it's the You inside Me. Thank you for a great year.


P.S.

I know the rule is to post no more than 3 per day, however, my output has been so minimal, please forgive the indiscretion of a 4th disc to complete this series.

A fantastic 4 disc set. This one being my fave...just. Love the Chris bell track along with just about evrything else. No22 was a favourite of mine as a nipper but it was a hit for some Scottish gezzer called Owen Paul...

Love this especially the 11-17 stretch. Sam's given me nightmares just mentioning Owen Paul!
