Comment:

Inspired mostly by pictures from tales by the brothers Grimm, and was helped along greatly by my attention being caught by tracks on various CDs which were mostly odd instrumentals, or had something a little more sinister about them compared to the rest of the tracks on the CD - the Moloko track (from the album of the same name) is a good example of this. Despite their unsettling quality, at the same time there was something very lulling about said tracks when I was listening to them - as such, that's the atmosphere I was aiming for throughout the mix. It's interspersed by a couple of spoken-word / a capella tracks (the silence in the background adds to the tension); and no, you can't really take Ed Wood films seriously, but luckily that section of dialogue isn't too hammy :)
