A long time in the making it's my 2nd anniversary this month... and this is my final funky drama mix. Usually I mash up a bunch of tracks that sound similar, but this is the first time I've actually tried to tell a story with the moods. The theme is a "harsh mistress" "femme fatale" sort of character playing on the classic concept "Death and the Maiden." You're attracted to her, and she's attracted to death. Pursue her and you WILL die.

ALWAYS THE BEST AT MY FRIENDS HATEMBARGO
PEACE
OKKO
Looks interesting. You sure took your time putting together this comp. Been busy lately?
Long time, Thanks Okko
Yeah it can really be draining. I've been digging a lot lately. I've been to every shop in the city and a number of flea markets and library is almost non-existent. The stuff I did find, I put right back. Now I'm more so interested in selling off some of my collection to these different shops (if they're serious).
I have to take inventory and grade all the stuff that I have and tally up how much I want for it. I'm going to stay on the flea market circuit though... there are so many it's good just to make contacts.
One of your best compilations yet! Can't wait to listen to that shit in my car audio while cruisin thru my rainy hometown. Keep up diggin man.
If your interested/open minded enough, check out this gem of obscure OSTs from GDR Science Fiction Movies.
One Love!

Thanks. There's definitely cool tracks in there. Hmmm, I've never made a space mix... I do like avant garde electronica, but not that ear stabbing moog stuff. The best comp/ost I've heard like this was Peter Thomas - Raumpatrouille I comped some of it when I was just starting out.
Much of this stuff is unknown to me. There is just too much library stuff out there. A lot of it, while good, isn't deserving of the often tremendous price tags people have been attaching to them IMO. Even when you have quality composers like Geoff Bastow or Keith Mansfield, this stuff should be made affordable so as not to distance the work from the general listener. Library music really belongs in the soundtrack genre.
At any rate, the tracks by Robert Hall Unknown(?) were intriguing. Flashback is very nice despite the lackluster quality. But then, there's something about mid/low-quality recordings of old material that invites a certain degree of nostalgia or, in this case, peculiarity, wonder.
The hi vs low quality recording debate that has raged on for decades is just fodder for audiophiles who, I suspect, want everything to be of the utmost, pristine quality. While I believe that quality is important, even more important is first and foremost quality music augmented by quality performances, both of which are hard to come by in today's music.
That's the beauty of it. Because there's so much exploring/digging doesn't get old. Pay to play does make it a chore though. And many of these dealers price based on speculation. I will never forget the first time I got slammed by speculation.
About a year and a half ago I was snatching up anything related that would build my Xihong Library. I went out on a limb and bought a pricy record ($72.00 w/o SH) because I fell for the trap. I got the record and I was pissed for 3 reasons.
1. It was supposedly RARE. After I bought it someone else popped up with one next week for just $12.00. That's the game... I can live with that because I made a choice.
2. It just wasn't that good. It had kungfu music on it (it better had!), but it wasn't ground breaking.
3. The guy that sold it had ANOTHER one and he listed it the next week for $46. So there were 2 on sale same time and each of them were less. After watching Ebay (and knowing what's mp3'd or on sale elsewhere) daily for 2.5 years I'LL TELL YOU what's rare.
There's LPs out there that sound like a clown blowing his nose while playing Tetris on Gameboy and some dealer will call it "breaks and drama samples." And I got that Robert Hall record for 50 cent. Great find!
