yeah this mix is the bomb no doubt but i think i prefer psyche out?

just sayin, Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:09 (fourteen years ago)

the way this is mixed is just insane

just sayin, Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:09 (fourteen years ago)

otm.

psyche out is its own animal but i love the way this mix is so all over the place and fits so many classics in while still sounding organic?

gr8080+ (gr8080), Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:25 (fourteen years ago)

?_?

gr8080+ (gr8080), Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:26 (fourteen years ago)

yeah for real. you look at the tracklist + then also i guess cuz of the time it came out + you think its going to be one of those super eclectic mixes where everything is smashed into each other but its not like that at all

just sayin, Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:29 (fourteen years ago)

i am the biggest dick ever for only going to optimo on a handful of occasions.

hard to vote for an individual track on this mix tbh.

Introducing the Hardline According to (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 30 June 2011 13:48 (fourteen years ago)

this has two of the five greatest recorded songs of all time on it and probably another couple of the top two hundred, but my choice was easy

Just reminded me I lent this to someone a few years ago. Gonna' have to hunt them down.

Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 30 June 2011 18:39 (fourteen years ago)

this is impossible

apichathong song (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Friday, 15 July 2011 23:03 (fourteen years ago)

i "rewind" this section every time i play this disc about 400 times. i think i wind up making it through the whole disc about one in three plays because of that.

^^ fuck I look like an idiot up there -- posting from a "smart" phone which weirdly doesn't have word-wrap in the comment box ... ANYWAY still haven't made it to the section that Grady and Jess rave about, but it's about a minute away, I'm stoked! Stirmonster you rule

Stormy Davis, Sunday, 2 October 2011 01:50 (fourteen years ago)

best mix ever

 (gr8080), Sunday, 2 October 2011 01:55 (fourteen years ago)

anyone have links for some better live set recordings? i remember hearing a few in 05-06

 (gr8080), Sunday, 2 October 2011 01:56 (fourteen years ago)

ok, just past Junkyard Band -> Ratpure, that was indeed pretty superrad. what is going on during 'cissy strut' tho, isn't that "P.S.K. What Does it Mean"? Sounds like it anyway. seriously vibing out here

Stormy Davis, Sunday, 2 October 2011 02:03 (fourteen years ago)

the 5 hour 'last optimo ever' set is all over the net in the usual places in case anyone isn't aware of it. some of us went mental about it here as it was happening live
Optimo

piscesx, Sunday, 2 October 2011 02:08 (fourteen years ago)

in actual fact that was one of my all time fave ILX moments; live listening pished to the last ever Optimo on a Sunday night.

piscesx, Sunday, 2 October 2011 02:10 (fourteen years ago)

20 seconds worth of Nurse With Wound in order to go to "Atomic"? Sure, why not I guess

Stormy Davis, Sunday, 2 October 2011 02:27 (fourteen years ago)

man, that was really great!! sorry for being a liveblogging douche, but c'mon I only posted like 4 times. What was up with the vinyl crackles on the Langley School track? stirmonster tryin to dickwave his orig? haha, just teasing, love u man. Ok I got the 'unmixed' CD 2 still to listen to (with my favorite band ever - Sun City Girls), but I am going to save that for tomorrow morning while I nurse my hangover and get ready to watch mu Detroit Lions travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. I think I'm just gonna put on some Anthrax right now.

thx for the ride Stirmonster!

I'm listening to this and it's great but what's with the delay-ish effect on the drums throughout? I'm guessing this is maybe an effect of slowing down tracks with some sort of pitch-correct on?
