About 37!) of links to all the tracks I have of The Music, but the email bounced back. Could you email me directly at colatron22[remove me]@hotmail.co.uk so as I get your email address from there and I will forward these links on to you directly.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>AndyColatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09071643447091446004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997973036962694363.post-66536786176889731612007-08-10T11:54:00.000+01:002007-08-10T11:54:00.000+01:002007-08-10T11:54:00.000+01:00Hi Andy,<BR/>it was the "The Music" track I was asking you about ... it was a bit of digging, but I finally found it. First iTunes, then wikipedia and finally themusic.info, where I got hold of several live tracks of them, and confirmed that the track I was looking for was "The Walls Get Smaller". <BR/>This one really blew my mind.<BR/>As you can see on my http://www.last.fm/user/nureineide Last FM profile, I've kind of discovered The Music now. They are awesome.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as I said already: Your Mix is really good. I listen to an awfully lot of mashups (don't know why, but the intelligence behind them somehow strikes a chord with me), so I think that I can say, that I know what I'm talking about, when it comes to mashups. And your Mixes are good. So go on, make some more. <BR/>I think it's more than usual, that some artists need some distance between them and their work, to enjoy it again.<BR/><BR/>I've added a little information about you (colatron) to last.fm ... maybe you want to complete it, and maybe even upload some of your tracks. <BR/>I'd be happy about the tracks you mentioned.

I kinda gave up on making full length mixes as it was such hard work, and it never seemed to really fit (in many ways, I was tempted to delete earlier posts with the first two Sycophant mixes on as I was so embarassed by them, hence my concentrating on single tracks which I kinda have the knack for).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the feedback though - means a lot. I'd actually had this on in the car this week driving to work and I'd forgotten just exactly how good this turned out (even if I do say so myself :D).<BR/><BR/>Caused me no end of problems at the time putting this together, as noted in the background notes to it, but on reflection a couple of months later, I think it really does work as a mix. Who knows, I have week off from work next week so I may try and do a new one!<BR/><BR/>With regards to the track you ask about, I'm not sure. At the 60 minute mark, it's still DJ Shadow's "Blood on the Motorway" mixed with Sunscreem's "Luv U More" and some random vocals I grabbed off the internet. Just after is The Music's "Walls Get Smaller" - this version being the hidden track on their second album, "Welcome to the North", although I have the orginal demo version as a B-Side on one of their singles. This kicks in at 1hr 1min 11secs. <BR/><BR/>If you mean the track that comes in at around 41 min 01 secs, which is all guitars and drums, it's the Whitey Remix of Bloc Party's "Helicopter" to be found on the excellent Eddie Temple-Morris' "Dance Rocks" compilation. I was going to mash it with Forward Russia's "Four" but couldn't quite get the timing.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I think on reflection, it is the Music's track you mean. If you need it, message me and I'll sort you out with a copy or 3. They are the 2nd best band I've ever seen (second only to the mighty Verve) and I always tell people, their vocalist, Robert Harvey is the Robert Plant of my generation. If you don't know their work, I strongly recommend both of their albums.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I've gone on for too long. Many thanks again for your smashing feedback. Good to know people are listening!<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>AndyColatronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09071643447091446004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997973036962694363.post-90983304730734122752007-08-09T15:05:00.000+01:002007-08-09T15:05:00.000+01:002007-08-09T15:05:00.000+01:00Hey Andy,<BR/>wow ... I'm a bit late to the party, but better late than never.<BR/>This is an absolutely awesome mix. Really. Has been a long time, since I enjoyed a mix that much. Thanks a lot for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>Benjamin<BR/><BR/>P.S. Could you please tell me what song it is, that starts around minute 60? It's an instrumental consisting mainly of drums and guitars. It sounds a lot like "Explosions In The Sky" or "Godspee You! Black Emperor". I can't seem to extract it from the tracklisting in your post. Thanks a lot.Benjamin Reitzammerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10332808310567564685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997973036962694363.post-91759173551049291722007-05-26T11:35:00.000+01:002007-05-26T11:35:00.000+01:002007-05-26T11:35:00.000+01:00Hi mate<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the mention in your latest post - much appreciated. I was wondering if you would kindly link to http://ramdomthoughts.co.uk/ instead of to the Wordpress address - if I'm not being too much of a pain in the arse.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend.<BR/><BR/>ScottScott Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06298374361217760868noreply@blogger.com
