Comment:

dedicated to (and made for) sr71, "the Blackbird"....many thanks to lo-fi jr. for tracks 13 & 14, and to Curtis the Burns for # 15, gentleman: I salute. (Also, thanks to the internet.., Otherwise I may have never found a copy, via mail order from the UK, of the Electric Effect disc, it's haunted me since I read the capsule review on the Terrascope website-a loooooong time ago.) ...blackbird singin' in the dead of night...

Mmmm... Look what they've done to my song, Ma. Excellent. From the mesmerizing cover to the Beatles feint to the Lilys to the Green Pajamas to "Insomnia" to the mighty, mighty Davis Redford Triad. It's a goddamned stunner Valis. I'll buy that!

I've been staring at the cover for a half an hour and I still don't see the damn blackbird. Anyway, you've complied yet another mix that has me scratching my head on a few of the artists, and smiling at some of the others (Lilys, Rain Parade, YLT). You go boy!

I know about 3/4 of this, V. It looks like another mindblowing concoction from the multi-layered vaults of the vast active one! That cover is awesome, too. I thought it was maybe one of those trick ones where you stare at it and a big fat lady's ass jumps out at you!

Intruiging Cover , i got hypnotized. I kow only "YO LA TENGO" and not even all.
BTW there is a B-TRIBE TRACK on Whispering Secrets... the last one / FATAL! ( The mostly unknown ChillOut version )

Talk about honored! Having a mix wif Rain Parade, Kendra and Doves dedicated to you kinda makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Or maybe it's the ketamine coctail i had for breakfast....

Whoa, can't stop looking at the cover art. It's mesmerising. Another fantastic mix here - lovely to see that particular Interpol pick, and the whole thing just seems like it flows beautifully.

I'm with Thomas - another enticing mix. And that cover is a killer! Nice one.

As I stare, all I see is little dots
(some are smeared and some are spots...)
Brilliant work, valis (again & ever).

I know only about 1/3 of this, but what I know I like. As far as the cover goes...well, I never have been able to see anything in these things. Perhaps I'm not taking the right drugs!

Looks like a door I'd gladly go through. Could Sabalon Glitz be a contender for a future volume in the psych unknowns series?

Perception is 9/10ths of the law, is it not? An intriguing collection.

As floored as the blackbird (an' still seein' litt'el dots). A favorite from the moment I saw this posted (and I knew exactly zero tracks).
As "pretty" and solid a mix as ever (oh ever) a mix there was...
I might jus' start smokin' again..!
