I'm sure he will love it - where is the old chuffer anyway? As regards the content, I know about as much on this as I do on one of Gerry's (or come to that one of Mr Burns').

Great, great stuff. Love the Amon Duul II through Strawberry Alarm Clock stretch especially. Hopefully this'll get Gerry to give us a high sign to let us know he's OK.

Aside from Monster Magnet, this is absolutely top-notch. :-)

Ditto Rob. Nice OTC selection. I wish they made a better recording of it.

Mission achieved I think... you've got one of his eye-scorching covers too!

Whilst usually I wouldn't feel compelled to pass retort upon any comment submitted about my mixes (basically I don't give a rats toss, I make mixes for my pleasure alone) I have to raise issue with Rob re the opening track - Opening tracks after all are so important to any mix - IMHO the sitar (or sitar like) essence of Black Balloon captures exactly what I was striving for in the initial sequence! But hey, each to his own & I take no offence be assureed Rob. Peace to all. - I just hope his Mc Donaldness enjoys it!

A nice one. Esp. the Bongwater & Fugs. And I kinda like Monster Magnet in a late-nite-home-alone-crank-up-the-stereo kinda way as I probably would with everything on this mix.

Gotta' like a sitar-opening track! A great simulacrum of a psychaMc' mix, too! (Cover art's a dead giveaway.., pure Glesga' wafers all around.)

It must be something in the air...but there a number of fine psychy mixes here on the boards of late...this being one of them.

Fantastic stuff. A couple I am unfamiliar with, but considering the company and selections well worth investigating.

Nice one, and a lovely gesture too - having heard a few of Gerry's mixes now, this looks like it would fit the bill perfectly. Like the Crystal Method (haven't listened to the in a while - must go and break them out!), King Creosote and Alfie a lot.
