Comment:

The tracklist really doesn't do this mix justice. I mean, I know what you're thinking: "Pink Floyd into Primus into Donovan? Is he mad?" I wish I could stream this CD so everybody could here how well it works.

For me, this mix evokes the lazy and relaxing spirit of sunbathing on the beach. I can't hear any of these songs without thinking of the sun.

Special thanks to Geoff Hale, a multimedia artist from Australia, for contributing the cover art. His Web site really is worth a look. And he's a big music fan, too.

It looks like a pretty good mix. That Luke Vibert & BJ Cole album was pretty innovative. Vacation Island is the perfect summer song.

Thanks. Hey, GYBO is a great site. I haven't seen too many others promoting it, but it's pretty cool. I've spent some time there.
