An another great result of the Brownswood xmas mixtape swap. Great opportunity to share some of your favourite tunes and in return be exposed to some new music by your swapshop partner.

Here is a little blurb about this wonderful mix by GD.

"For this mix i picked tunes evocative of a cinematic theme that ranged from classical to jazz and electronica. Something that you can drift off to whilst playing your own movie in your minds eye.

Blade Runner Main Titles - Vangelis
possibly the greatest science fiction movie ever made and possibly the greatest soundtrack - for years the full soundtrack was only available as a bootleg but fortunately last year a 3CD special edition was released - if you haven't got it you need it.

Peace Piece - Bill Evans
first heard this on BB years ago - one of those tracks that just mesmerises you, beautiful music, i definitely love the deep piano work on here.

II. Lento E Largo - Tranquillissimo - Henryk Gorecki
this was recommended on brownswood years ago as a need and it proved to be an excellent blind buy - there is a tragic tone to this but yet still somehow uplifting - is that even possible!

Sons of the Silent Age - Philip Glass
I like Philip Glass alot, especially his soundtrack work for Koyanatski (sp), this was taken from an LP of classical interpretations of David Bowie's Low (berlin period) LPs

Autumn Leaves [Irresistible Force Mix Trip 2] - Coldcut
probably too much of a 'chill-out' chestnut now BUT i love it

Movement 5 - Carl Craig & Moritz Von Oswald
this LP knocked me out last year

Launch Approval - Vangelis
Love Theme - Vangelis
as above love the analogue synth action

Watarase - Fumio Itabashi
another track first heard on BB - i remember the next day everyone had been blown away by this track, still only available as an expensive japanese import but worth the money

Cosmic Messenger - Jean-Luc Ponty
LOLzz to the Doc - i find a lot of Ponty's stuff a bit hit and miss but this is an essential track

Tears in Rain - Vangelis
originally this was going to be the mix closer esp. as it has Rutger Hauers final speech from the movie overlayed where it discusses what it means to be human

Cristo Redentor - Donald Byrd
but then i remembered it was a xmas mix and pulled out one of the best religious themed tracks i know - i usually go for the Duke Pearson version. this version is equally as good and is arranged by Pearson...

 Enjoy!
