Featured Mix

Soul's Passage 11b - Bonkers: Click here for the entry. Clicking, Bleeping, psytrance and lounge make up this 8-minute plus mix. The quotes from Alice in Wonderland in the middle bring out the other side of the insanity argument brought up at the beginning of the mix, featuring clips from tracks by Ugress, Shpongle, Younger Brother and Manu Chao.

Here's the entry and mix details:

Ok, storytime... gather round chidlings and wax addicts. This little piece from the vault was originally released in September de '06. I've made no alterations to the audio... and didn't dare molest the precious album art. You can see it above... seriously... that's it. At the time, it was one of the very first mixes in the revolution that even had art. As you can see, it was also one of the first tracks to have a title--"Wonderfulmadness". The modern title pays homage to the original. Whereas many a mix has simply not aged well with the years, this one is a head nodder every single time... altho u'd think the ending could use some cleaning. Can't have everything. Some more notes on the archaic aspects to the mix. When I salvaged it out of cold storage, the file was still named "01b [8:27] ADHF - The ADHD Revolution.mp3". Any longtime followers of the revolution should get a laugh about the dust the filename has gathered. Ah... the past. Anyways... moving on... .

Included:
Quote - Battlestar Galactica (1980) - "This entire operation sounds like a typical human plan: impractical and clumsy. It is not a wonder you lost the war."
Ugress - Terapolis Nightclub Fantasy
Shpongle - Dorset Perception
Younger Brother - Weird on a Monday Night
Manu Chao - Bongo Bong (Cut & Run Breaks Mix)
Manu Chao - Bongo Bong (Jungle Hardfloor Remix)

Purchase:
Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Epic Series
Ugress - Retroconnaissance - Terapolis Nightclub Fantasy [Free EP]
Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible - Dorset Perception
Younger Brother - Flock of Bleeps - Weird on a Monday Night
Manu Chao - Bongo Bong [discontinued?]*

*A note on "Bongo Bong": Remixes have been dropping like flies for a year now... and finally the death nail may be apoundin. The song "Bongo Bong" has been replaced on both Amazon and the iTunes Store with some one-minute thingy that is very much not the right song. I don't know what's going down, but this song could be on its way out for some reason. If you can find a real copy for sale, grab it before it's gone.

Review: The quote kicking off this mix continues the theme of machine logic versus human insanity (both with their own pros and cons), whirring immediately into "Terapolis Nightclub Fantasy" by the infinitely talented Ugress. The complex beat, clicks and switches in Terapolis easily mix into "Dorset Perception", the opening psytrance track from Shpongles second album. For those not in the loop, Shpongle has recently released their fourth album. We've yet to raise the funds to check it out, but it'll happen. Never has Shpongle let down an ear in waiting. Moving on, with a bit of pitch work, "Dorset Perception" bursts into the slow section of "Weird on a Monday Night" by Younger Brother (a very Shpongle-related side project). Almost all the "Alice in Wonderland" quotes are native to this track, with only a few additions made during the mixing. Finally, two different remixes for "Bongo Bong" by Manu Chao. While hitchhiking in '06, I was continuously trying to find out what this song was. I had heard it while at the Taos equinox rave but wasn't able to get the track name from the DJ. Finally, at Burning Man much later that year, I heard a fishing boat passing with it playing. I ran to catch up with the boat and got the name from the driver. I purchased it just a week later. The full cut of the song covers three different languages, never straying from the incredible signature instrumentation that Manu Chao has become known for. Enjoy!

    They Held Each Other
    And Kissed

    And Pushed Each Others'
    Darkness into the Corner,

    Believing in each others' Light,
    each others' Dream
