Disc 1.

Grittier & louder; a balanced, audio-graphic response to part 1.

I was just going to say this looks grittier than your normal fare, when you took the word out of my mouth.

Nice opener by Lena. Will check out the rest later.
There is something about this mix that seems so... alive.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. When I peruse the Recent Submissions board I realize that this is eclectic stuff...& I feel a bit like a fish out of water. And while part two gets a bit more centered, with the Crimson tracks, it's still a l-o-n-g way from most of what y'all are submitting, so thanks for taking a peek.
IMO the best track here is The Idea of Decline with its searing Fripp guitar solo...my only complaint is that it isn't long enough with Fripp yielding his axe to Eno's synth wizardry much too soon.

I downloaded your first mix, but unfortunately haven't been able to listen to it yet. I will download this one, too, however, since it looks so interesting. So much music to listen to, and so little time. My, how different from when I was a child, when I had a lot of time and only a very limited amount of music to listen to.

Thanks, Claude...I definitely hear you on the time thing. I look for slivers and slices of time throughout the day to don my headphones and discman & pick up listening where last I left off. Work, family & kids' schedules (ballet, baseball, Boy-scouts, Girl-scouts, homework, music lessons & "other" projects) church activities and work-outs all demand bits of time. I've also been listening to educational business CD's...so there's always something pushing at the boundaries of my "discretionary" time.
So I simply try to live by an axiom:'Don't let the good get in the way of the great'.
Many things require my time and attention...I try to choose only the BEST things to which to attend. A great book on the subject, btw, is Good to Great, by Jim Collins.

I did like part one more than I initially thought, but part two improves the series. Fripp reminds me in a way of Bill Laswell in the sense that these culled mixes serve my ears better than an entire album of either musician. Well done and thanks for broadening my scope.
