very nice mix, phil. great to listen to at night in the background while posting a little here and there. exactly the right music to calm down and let the day fade out. and it is still not as hollow as this stupid chill-out music with shitty beats. it could have even been a little weirder, if you ask me.
alex - well, yes, there was much weirder music out there and, indeed, a lot that was much much more disquieting. however, a lot of it is very, very long and the 2 edits i included in this mix (the guitar pieces in the middle) don't really encapsulate the feeling of the tracks enough. i could, i suppose, create an mp3 only mix that lasts 5 hours but that seems a bit lacking in some sort of curatorship to the whole thing. in any case, i agree with you about the late night feel of a lot of it. and that jan jelenik album really is very good.
