Comment:
"As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me." --Brian Eno
This is what you get when you splice a 12volt live feed into the center console panel @ the l@b ("Mr. Joe Miles seen living under neon, struggling with a foreign tongue"). Joe owns the franchise on this one. I just added a few tracks here & there and smushed them together using, what turned out to be, a very ornery piece of software that kept cutting off the final 2 tracks and spitting out error discs, one after the other (I lost count after six or seven coasters). But hope springs eternal: I fooled the software into thinking I was someone else, it worked and we now toss this one out for you*; bringing Joe's stellar series up to date with a few of Mr. Eno's more recent excursions.
This tracks one half ambient (go figure) and then begins to pick up speed at about track eleven and is a satisfying listen...(even if I do say so meself).
Btw...recently uncovered, an extra (lost) verse for Eno's Fat Lady of Limbourg:
When I emailed Joe Miles: "Let's make an update
to your theme, and post it online."
He replied "Here's my half, dude, you can arrange them
at the lab, when you have the time".
But the files sat around for one whole year before they sang;
and that seems oh so many moons ago.
Now here they are in a mash-up,
a zany crash-up, as a treat
for members* we know.
That's what we mix for,
that's what we mix for,
that's what we mix for, here.
Feedback:
Downloading as I write. Miles, Miles, vaguely familar. I seem to remember a brilliant mixxer, though a recluse. thanks for the link Gene.
Also downloading as I write... this looks fantastic. Thanks.
Fascinating.

Wow. This mix is almost 'g.a.b. l@bs goes Pop!'. Excellent stuff man. Looking forward to the ride..
beautiful, and perfect with my morning coffee. not a huge Philip Glass fan, but #7 was mesmerizing. also really liked Eno/Byrne, FarFlung and especially that Eno/Cale track. I've really been enjoying your mixes, and glad you've been posting more frequently. and I only got $17 for my soul, by the way.
...and the ability to post cover art, of course.
I agree, tonadoZ, that Mr. Glass can grate and wear on one (but it's a Bowie/Eno cover, so I cut him some slack this time). I think he uses the same, looped violin track on just about every one of his compositions. :D
Glad you're liking the mixes and, hopefully, exploring some new musical territory. A lot of "New Age" (which, generally, makes me ill)
gets erroneously pegged as "Ambient"...and it's NOT. It's sorta' like calling [puke] Kenny G.[/puke] a "Jazz" artist.
Btw, my partner in crime (12vman) turned me on to what I think is possibly the coolest cut on this mix, the Shivaree cover of Eno's
Fat Lady.

A stunning collection of sounds so brilliant they transcend my pathological aversion to Bono. There is no higher praise.
So now we see who is the mystery guest of the man in the l@bs! Looks like a cool collaboration. Count me in the pro-Glass camp.
