As I was amongst the unlucky few who neither got a tape, nor had theirs reviewed, I thought that I may as well put it up here for other Dissensians to enjoy.
The main purpose of this mix is to showcase the wonders of harmonic mixing, how songs from a wide array of genres can be conflated into a coherent whole without the end result’s being a kitschy mess. For this reason, I think you will appreciate it even if you are already familiar with some of the songs. My main priority, however, has been for the songs to be strong in their individual right, and for the mixing merely to bring out the best in each of them. Naturally, all feedback is more than welcome.

) about this for the last week or so. I'm not exactly sure why. I'm not so fragile that I can't take criticism and I was really pleased with the tape when I made it. In fact, just last week I made a CD for someone I work with and the next day he told me it was "clubshit". Just like that: clubshit. All one word. And I could care less. I just sort of dismissed him with an, "Open your mind, idiot." (In my head of course. What I really said was, "I'm sorry you didn't like it.")
