Comment:

This mix was reserved for junk store finds that I either didn't listen to often, didn't particularly care for, or outright hated. The Politics of Dancing is at the top of this list, worthy of the blackest of my loathing. This mix helped me rediscover some of the overlooked potential of my record collection, as Henry Lazarof, a great twelve-tone/chamber music composer, has proven. Some tracks leave me on the fence; I don't want to keep them but I'm not ready to burn them either. The Jesse Crawford (some organist from God knows when) and Holst records put me in that position. Unfortunately, I have to get rid of them to make room for more music. Go figure.

Splendidly bad mix and that's a compliment. That Re-Flex track is dire. Never got very excited over Vangelis either.

So we're hating on CLassical music here now?

I don't quite get that either. The mix is fairly scattershoot, but I appreciate the effort. I think we are more Montessori here at AOTM anyway, right, Rupert?
