Allied Nations - Warm Music for Cool Cities - [Mellow] - Fall 2006

This needed to be done! I am NOT a winter person and Montreal is starting to get mighty cold! (Apparently its only going to get colder... ) These tunes have been keeping me warm over the last couple of weeks and I figured I'd throw em together for some other people to listen to. I did this mix in Acid and by no means a testament to anything technical... I mix chillout the way I like to hear chillout, full songs but no silence in between. There are some gorgeous groovin' tunes on here props to all these artists. I think a lot of you will really enjoy them Have a listen and let me know what you think, I really like to know which tunes get people... These all got me in one way or another and it's nice to be able to share them with you guys.

Cheers!

1. Herbert - About This Time Each Day
2. Herbert - Addiction
Same order as the album, brilliant music.

3. Tryad - My Piano Sings (Part 4)(With Joana Smith)
New find, has grown on me quickly.

4. Karma - Carte Blanche
More lovely pianos...

5. Skye - Stop Complaining
Off Skye's new solo album, she really has an amazing voice.

6. Nach Scratch - Basado en Hechos Reales
One of my favorite jams ever...

7. Bonobo - Something (Longer) for Windy
Great all round tune here and a catchy riff.

8. Blockhead - A New Day
Gotta love that harmonica.

9. Tycho - Sunrise Projector
Amazing production, sounds perfect.

10 Lemongrass - Once Along the Way
One of my favorite artists, this one doesn't dissapoint.

11. Mum - Green Grass of Tunnel
Words aren't going to be able to describe this one.

12. I'm Not A Gun - Long Afternoon
Great smooth prog rock, thank you Mr. Tejada.

13. Telepopmusik - Last Train to Wherever
Easily one of the best things released last year.

14. Si Schroeder - Lavendermist
What a cool bassline.

15. Guitar - Wo Die Strassen Schone Namen Tragen
Epic. I don't understand the words, but the title means, "Where the Streets Have Pretty Names"

I sure hope so! You'll have to let me know!

get in!

Posted by alefort on Nov-26-2006 23:42:

I'm in! Your last effort, First Impressions tore my face off, in a good way, if that's possible. Definitely looking forward to having my emotional chords pulled in this one...

EDIT

18 minutes in and I am sorry, I am have to stop the mix. I find there is no transition during the songs. Everything just seems poorly stitched together. I'll keep an eye out for the next mix you provide. Also, hope you adjust to the cold, it gets as low as -30 (dont be surprised to get -40-50 with the windchill) while in Montreal!

ha! my fave mum track! keep your eyes peeled for their '07 album.

Posted by LuckyKarma on Nov-27-2006 00:39:

AWESOME! Unfortunately I'm getting ready to leave for the dorm, I'll have to wait an hour or so to hear this Can't wait!

Posted by ASFSE on Nov-27-2006 00:52:

Seeing how the temperature here in Calgary is even colder, I figure I better give this a download mate...

Posted by jupiterone on Nov-27-2006 02:20:

This is beautiful, totally enjoyed this mix, allied. Really like the quick transitions and the tracks themselves are real mood setters and def. can relate to the winter season.

Posted by Allied Nations on Nov-27-2006 03:10:

Thanks for the quick responses wow! I really want to get a feel for how you guys liked the tunes and which tunes you might not have liked... just for my personal curiosity...

Thanks a lot

if you have to STOP this mix because there aren't "transitions" then this mix isn't for you It's not about the mixes mate, it's about the tunes and the overall flow. I'm sorry it's not your typical house/trance etc mix - it's chillout the way I like it. It's not a technically amazing mix, as I stated. I wasn't going for anything like that at all. It's just some tunes to kick it to.

Sorry to dissapoint.

Listening to this right now....

Posted by ZeJayMan on Nov-27-2006 12:25:

Listening to this right now.... I'll give you a proper review once it's all done with, so far all i can say that it's helping me get through some tough essay writing.

Sorry to dissapoint.

And I realized that, and I definitely didn't pick on you for doing so. I was simply expecting something else, I didn't get it, so I moved along. Didn't want to offend, was merely stating why I stopped listening, since you wanted feedback.

Yeah I figured as much- I try and do these sorts of mixes to get people out of their little house/trance etc shell... I find most people (not even just EDM heads) get very pigeonholed into one specific genre and don't take the time or aren't give then chance to explore different musical styles. Chillout/Downtempo is my personal yang and I find it compliments the thump driven dance music I listen to quite well, especially since most of this is highly related to more common forms of electronic dance music. I can't do the boom boom all day long - I thrive on variety and drawing from all sorts of musical styles/genres. It's a shame this sort of music isn't your cup of tea, hopefully you'll enjoy my next effort a little more .

Cheers for the listen!
