Mix CD Challenge
   ~ Inspired by chip's reply in the "What are you listening to?" topic.

Alright, here's the game. Make a playlist mix and post it here. List its name and genre along with the list of songs. I'll keep an organized list here in this first post with links to your individual replies. Your mix should generally be 8 to 20 songs, but this isn't a rule.

So show off your creativity and musical library! Lets see some of that talent!

The List:

Author	Mix Name	Genre	Length	Link
chip	Tamed ADD	Mixed	78 min	Link
deckkeeper	-	Indie-ish	43 min	Link

Note:
I might come up with some kind of voting/ranking system, but that'll be for later.
I'm also still working on the formatting.

i edited all the tracks by hand to ensure excellent timing/flow between each track..  I wanted to take as many genres as possible and squash them together, and make them flow audibly from one section to the next.. i'm very pleased with the result, a mix cd i wouldnt get tired of!

I'll post a torrent later!

Length:	~43 minutes

01 - The Knife - Like a Pen (6:12)
02 - Ellen Allien & Apparat - Way Out (3:43)
03 - Mogwai - Hunted by a Freak (4:15)
04 - Liars - The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack (4:45)
05 - The Postal Service - Natural Anthem (5:07)

I tried to get songs that would flow together well with a little editing. I also tried to include my current favorite songs (Like a Pen, Way Out, and I'll Believe in Anything) with some older favorites and some simply good songs. This is pretty short, but...yeah. Oh well. Its nice to listen to, so I switch to it every once in a while. I'll post some other mixes/playlists later.

[chip!]

nice mix.. yeah once I get my ext harddrive back up and running with all my music, i'll post some other ones too..

how about we make a 'platinum' section here where we can maybe upload some mix cd torrents.. anyone else think i'd be a good idea?

[deckkeeper]

Yeah, that could be pretty cool.

Also, could anyone recommend some good techno/electronic albums? I need some more. I don't care what type, and foreign is fine.

check out the "Euphoria" mixes..  I think they are great (classic, or limited edition should be easy to find)..
