Comment:

I would just like to give a very warm, very heartfelt and very loud shout-out to my recent mix collaborator tornadoZ, to whom I dedicate Track #5 on Disc #1!

Also, I would just like to point out that I en-ded up violating one of my own mixing rules: I put a song by the New York Dolls and one by Johnny Thunders on the first disc. My rule is that you can't put two songs by the same artist on the same 2-CD set, and if you have two songs which share the same musicians, they have to be on separate discs! So...I compensated with a "counter-violation" on the second disc, on which I included a song by the Who and a solo number by the late, great John Entwistle. (And by the way, I happen to think that his solo version of My Wife kicks the crap out of the Who's Next version!)

The very last track is an instrumental by the Italian group Goblin, famed for their horror soundtrack work with Dario Argento in the '70s. They also did the score for George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, and one of their pieces for that film (the European version only) is this lovely instrumental called Oblio, which has this very melancholy, Floydian Great Gig In The Sky sort of vibe to it. I thought that I would give this mix a sort of gentle, winding-down vibe toward the en-d! :-)

Well, I must confess that I actually never heard of Julie London before seeing the movie "V For Vendetta"! :) But I really like that song "Cry Me A River" a great deal. The first time I actually heard it was listening to Aerosmith's cover of it (from 1982), and of course this Julie London version comes from the "V For Vendetta" soundtrack album - as does Cat Power's "I Found A Reason" on one of my previous mixes...

I think the fact that Yes and Joy Division share the same CD might be one of the best cases of "nearly-impossible" mix making, ever. Utterly fantastic.
