I&#8217;d got a new job a few years previously and used the extra cash, month by month, to gradually sort myself out with a decent hi-fi and then eventually saved up to buy one deck, a mixer, and then another deck.<\/p>\n<p>The mix was originally conceived when I had one deck, a mixer and an ordinary domestic CD player. So, no beatmixing but some nice looooooong ambient pieces. It was eventually reworked with two records and a CD playing at the same time when I had amassed all the kit. I didn&#8217;t really do very much with at the time, partly because I had no way of copying tapes and partly because I was still labouring under the illusion that I&#8217;d become some kind of shit hot drum and bass DJ. Quite clearly that was never going to happen, but it was great fun mucking about with records. And still is.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of these tunes represent the last gasp of my serious interest in industrial culture before plunging into dub in a big way. With the exception of one track, it still sounds fantastic to these ears.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways it is a sister mix to Paul Meme&#8217;s classic <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.grievousangel.net\/?p=195\" target=\"_blank\">Ambient Industrial selection<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another live mix. 48 minutes long because it was designed to fit on one side of a C90 (remember them?).<\/p>\n<p><strike>Download a zipped archive including the mp3 file, cover art and details of how to get a 4 page pdf of sleevenotes from here.
