Amphibious Thoughts

Winter kicked in at last here in Leipzig and it was was about time. The body was already exhausted, not knowing whether to start producing those spring-related hormones or to tell the soul to retreat into its snail-shell, get out those good old cheesy records and have a tea. Now, finally, the latter it did. And by doing so it produced a new trip-hop music mix for all of you to listen to.

• 01) intro: tiny tim “welcome to my dream”
• 02) herbaliser “mrs chumbee takes the plunge (rmx)”
• 03) pressure drop “promises”
• 04) earthling “saturated”
• 05) tricky “suffocated love”
• 06) erik sumo “friday i’ll be dead”
• 07) earthling “echo on my mind”
• 08) dj shadow “mongrel”
• 09) dj shadow “blood on the motorway”
• 10) bugge wesseltoft “you might say”
• 11) the moody blues “nights in white satin”
• 12) dj shadow “6 days”
• 13) erik sumo “my rocky mountain”
• 14) pressure drop “let me be me”
• 15) tricky “contradictive”
• 16) ideal “sex in der wüste”
• 17) outro: tiny tim “tip-toe thru the tulips with me”

The third (and last) of the sirens series. As cheesy as the other ones, with some goodies and rarities. Check out the tori amos remix by king britt and “whistle, daughter, whistle”. Tracklist here:

• 01) red snapper “image of you” (rae&christian rmx)
• 02) aromabar “verlvet night”
• 03) tori amos “father lucifer” (king britt rmx)
• 04) samia farah “temps s’immobilisent”
• 05) marschmellows “lost in speech”
• 06) mo horizons “foto viva”
• 07) da lata “rain song”
• 08) moodorama “singing sunset boulevard”
• 09) da lata “rio vida”
• 10) samia farah “cool”
• 11) air “all i need”
• 12) nitin sawhney “nostalgia”
• 13) millenia nova “i’m dead”

The Sirens-Series actually started in 1998 and was my first actual mix with something like a concept. Concept was to

- do a trip-hop mix with womens voices

- impress women :-)

The first mix was done directly on a tape that was destroyed before it could be digitized. This second one was also done for a tape and thus has two parts. Check out the tracklisting:

• 05) plaid “rakimou”
• 06) aromabar “winter pagent”
• 07) tricky “ponderosa”
• 08) super nova “23. juli”
• 09) red snapper “seeing red”

Side B

• 01) breakbeat era “animal machine”
• 02) lamb “all in your hands”
• 03) mandalay “flowers bloom”
