Comment:

this is my attempt at a moody piece about death....many of the songs are instrumentals and just seem to have the right sound and mood...I'd like to thank Phallexlloyd for the Godspeed track and Coneboy for the Kid 606...most of these tracks have a depressing feel to them, so i added the rjd2 at the end; i believe it fits the overall theme of the mix with the sampled vocals, "who knows what tomorrow will bring, maybe sunshine or maybe rain." But it ends the mix on a more uplifting note.

hey... you should check out Sigur Ros. They'd slide quite nicely into a mix like this.

Love it. Treefingers: one of my all-time favorite Radiohead tracks.

If you ever mix down a sequel, try "The Buildings They are Sleeping" (God Speed You Black Emperor!) into "Midnight Service at the Mutter Museum (Muder City Devils). It's what I was listening to when I read this mix, and it seemed oddly appropriate.
