Comment:

I realize this is all the same stuff I put on all my other mixes, but here's the situation: this guy directed a production of Luciano Berio's avant-garde extravaganza _Laborintus 2_ and I ran sound, and he overheard me talking to one of the producers about indie rock and asked me to make him a mix. He doesn't know anything about underground rock, so I figured I'd give him a sampling of my favorite bands. Soon I'll start making theme mixes and vary things a bit more. Besides, I think the transitions here make it worth posting despite the repetetition of tracks -- for instance, the NMH ends with the same note that the Shudder to Think begins with, and so on. I also had fun messing with seamless transitions between fairly straightforward stuff and more avant-garde stuff (particularly that D. Plan/Henry Cow transition). Anyway, enough of that.
