Oh. Dear. Lord.
I curse Comcast for wrecking my download speeds, because I want this comp badly.
I WILL have this thing downloaded one way or another, mark my words.
I liked your write up too. =D

Very tasty-looking mixtape this, and a few tunes I don't recognise either. Good to see some Des Dekker, Melodians and Heptones on there. I'm a huge fan of Bob Marley & the Wailers' earlier work in ska and rocksteady too.

But for the non-inclusion of Stranger & Patsy's When I Call Your Name, a very good mix it is sir

Yeah this is pretty much me in a nutshell.. for the most part. I do listen to other stuff but it wouldn't have been a very cohesive comp if I put in EVERYthing I listen to.

This Comp is dedicated to the things I've been listening to lately

It's pretty much a snapshot of the stuff I've started listening to after being stuck on Trance for so long. I'm still in the process of refining my tastes and whatnot but I have a better idea of what I really enjoy.

EDIT: Although I do pretty much love that song.

The Beginner’s Guide to Zarko’s Hip Hop Favourites

I figured rather than trying to cram everything across all genres into a single compilation I would break it into the predominant genres, and given I am in a phase at the moment I thought I would start there. There is some obscure stuff, but it’s a decent balance between the known and the unknown. There’s some rapping, only in about 4 of the tracks. Either way, I hope it gets a go from a few of you. I can’t put all of my favourites on there (Given some are 60 minute long mixtapes), but we will see how it goes. Sometimes I couldn’t pick a single track that best represented the albums entirety; this is most obvious with Onra. Chinoiseries is full of 1-2 minute tracks that are all varied enough for no single song to actually represent what’s great about the album as a whole. DJ Signify’s was a cut up mixtape so it was a bit difficult to choose a single ‘track’. Techno Animal's album has about half instrumental and half feat. MC's, but IMO the rapping songs are much more interesting, but too difficult to pick one defining song.

DJ Signify – 1
Siah and Yeshua – Gravity
Onra – Chop Your Hands
DJ Shadow – The Number Song
Juggaknots – Sex Type Thang
Buddy Peace – Auburn Pelog Error
Rubberoom – Acid
Sixtoo - Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man Part 7
Techno Animal – Cruise Mode 101
Glen Porter – And Death Of

^ I have four of those tunes already but otherwise I'm clueless. So, yeah, I'm sold

Provided I remember to, I'll get back to this thread on what I think of the mix ASAP...
