As promised, here is a track listing of
Mixmaster Morris' new mix CD, The Morning After.
Most of these tracks fall in the range of percussiony dub to
ambient/jazzy d 'n b, with a sprinkling of ambient to round it out.
I noticed a few problems with buzzing from the mastering process when
listening with headphones, most noticeably on the first track, but
apparent in a few other places as well when given a careful ear.
1 innersphere - out of body
(nice analog ambience, piano intro)
2 justice & blame - repro house
3 budd & zazou - as fast as i could look away she was still there
4 t power - indigo
(very cool dubby track.)
5 springheeled jack - flying again
6 plaid - angry dolphin
7 subtropic - the m.h.t.
8 appaloosa & orbit - nautilus
(catchy melody and good drum track)
9 photek - t'raenon
10 soft ballet - ride (global communications mix)
11 foul play - night moves
12 dub tractor - scary hh loop
13 reflections - flowers for the moonlight
14 spacetime continuum - string of pearls
15 alroy road tracks featuring duke of haringay - sarcacid part 1
--sampler disk included as second CD--
(most of these tracks are more commercial clubland backroom
although this disk is billed as being an "alternative"
sampling of Positiva's material)
1 adam f - f-jam (12" vocal mix)
(commercial d 'n b)
2 dub tractor - overheated livingroom
3 baby doc - diosa de la luna
(ambient washes of sound with an airy vocal)
4 qattara - come with me (atomix)
(straight up 4/4 mainfloor track)
5 white trash - acid people
(more acid breaks aka. chem bros.)
All things told, Morris's portion of this disk is well worth
the money. Morris provides a very well formatted ride through
the sound of some post-club (aka, back room ambiance) innovators.
