Any more comments? I'm sure a new mix should be coming soon.
Just about on time (in his time-zone, anyway) is the runner-up of the PM lottery, prog lover, thoroughly cool guy and key member of the TA Atlanta Mafia. You know it's:
enydo
1. The Mars Volta - Son Et Lumiere + Inertiatic ESP
First couple tracks (although they're basically one song) off of Deloused In The Comatorium. This was a huge album for me, and will probably always be somewhere up in my top 5 of all time. It introduced me to a whole new side of rock back in high school and I hammered it hard for months. I loved these two tracks as an opener especially, a lot of power. The Mars Volta got me interested in a lot of progressive and psych rock.
2. At The Drive-In - Enfilade
At The Drive-In was responsible for sparking my interest in post-hardcore and hardcore rock in general. I picked up the album Relationship of Command in New York without knowing too much about the band other than Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez both left At The Drive-In and proceeded to form The Mars Volta. Enfilade was me and my best friend's jam for a long time, but the whole album means a lot to me.
3. Deftones - Digital Bath
White Pony is one of the earliest albums I ever bought, and in my opinion, it's one of the Deftone's strongest albums. Digital Bath was one of my top tracks off of that, I love it to pieces.
4. Brand New - Millstone
Brand New is a bit of an anomaly for me. I got into them when I was going through my "angsty" rock phase in high school. Luckily, as they released more material they changed their sound a good bit from their earlier releases, and I think they did a good job of "growing up". Millstone might not be everyones cup of tea, but what can I say, it'll always be a warm, fuzzy, nostalgia trip for me.
5. Circa Survive - In Fear and Faith
Definitely another track not everyone will like. Juturna was another high school album for me, but I still run through it quite often. I love the mood and style they play with, they are a talented group of musicians. Anthony Green is the fucking man, and he's a great vocalist live... if you're into this kind of stuff.
6. God Is An Astronaut - Fall From The Stars
I started listening to these guys randomly a couple years ago. They were responsible for getting me into a lot of post-rock and shoegazey material. I put this song and several others of theirs on a lot when I go out for a cig or a walk.
7. Explosions In The Sky - The Birth and Death of The Day
I've been listening to Explosions In The Sky for a long time. I think sophomore year of high school I was given a mix cd with a couple of their tracks on there, but I didn't really start delving into them until much later. This is a more recent song of theirs that I absolutely love. This may be a little loud and distorted on my recording, I didn't realize the track was red-lining that much. :P
8. Sigur R�s - Samskeyti
Ah, Sigur R�s. I have only good things to say about them. I can't even count the number of times I've put them on to fall asleep, or for a walk at night, or something similar. () is a great album, and this is a great song.
9. Boards of Canada - Music Is Math
Geogaddi is my favorite Boards of Canada album, and this is one of my favorite tracks off there. They were responsible for my escalating interest in electronic music back when someone gave me a burned copy of The Campfire Headphase, so yeah, they'll always have a special place for me.
10. DJ Shadow - Changeling/Transmission 1
Endtroducing... is another album that began to draw me away from my earlier rock interests. I couldn't get enough of it when I first heard it, and it took me a while to actually find other stuff that was similar. I was horrible at searching for new music when I first started becoming more and more interested in music in general.
11. BT - 1.618
I remember buying This Binary Universe freshman year of college because I saw a flier for it, and I had heard some of BT's really poppy generic trance at the time. I was shocked when there were no supersaws or tranzzz on the album. At the same time though, I was fascinated by the whole thing. I think TBU is definitely BT's
best material. This got me interested in ambient and stuff like that, and in general, was influential in making me hunt around for more music I hadn't heard of.
12. Leftfield - Song of Life
I can't remember when I was told to listen to Leftism, but it was probably around the time I started listening to ASOT. The album was given to me by an online friend, and they told me, "Here, this is real electronic music". I thought that was a pretty silly statement, and it wasn't until a while later that I started appreciating Leftfield's work, but when it clicked, I was hooked. Song of Life in particular got a lot of playtime from me, and is probably responsible for my fondness for progressive house. I remember being really happy when I ran across the various remixes of it on Sasha and Digweed's Renaissance compilation.
13. Orbital - Lush 3-1
Can't leave Orbital out of here, no way. The Brown Album was, and is, a huge album for me. Seeing them live at Ultra this year was probably worth the Saturday ticket price alone, for me at least.
Lush, both versions really, are favorites of mine. Will probably always love them and the entire album.
14. Heller & Farley - The Rising Sun [Bedrock Remix]
The prog, here it is. I'm a sucker for it, as most people are probably aware. I ran into this track on Digweed's Bedrock compilation originally, and since then, it's just been an all out favorite. Love the chunkiness of it, the thick bassline, the chanting, and the ridiculous ascending synth pattern near the end. Just builds and builds, will always be a favorite.
15. James Holden - I Have Put Out The Light
James Holden got me into a lot of different stuff through his various compilations and work throughout the years. I Have Put Out The Light is something I discovered a while back, and I just love the crap out of it.
Download Link (You know how it fuckin' works): http://www.enydo.com/enydo%20-%20TA...e%202010%5D.mp3
I used to make my parents proud.
Tasting this, looks great 
The technical DJing in this is subpar for sure, but that's not what this is about, right? 
Hopefully it's enjoyable.
Side note: the mix of Song Of Life used on Leftism is not actually the original version, but the Cut For Life mix.
Aw shoot, you can change it in the post if you want, I honestly had no idea. 
I really like your taste, judging this list. On this for sure.
Nah, it's pretty obvious from your blurb which version you're talking about. A lot of people don't realise the version heard on Leftism is not the original. All the previous singles were remixed to fit into the album better.
Incidentally, I'll be seeing Leftfield live on Saturday.

Why the fuck do I keep forgetting about these?? Why dammit!
This made me see things and feel things differently for an apportioned amount of time. I felt things feelingly and it shook my shins inshinerately. The hairs on my inner thighs made out with each other viscerally in the bunny hop madness I sauntered about with for these seventy nine minutes and fourteen seconds.
My flaps and gills were wholly ready, my mind untrained and yielding only to the mesmerizing manifest destiny of the beats and their path with which you aligned and harmonized. My penis was rupturing at the appropriate parts; when the vocals hit my youth deposits it caused them to leak and surge forth with valuable spores I quickly and readily absorbed, forcefully and helped to correct my scoliosis. Turning it into a healthy and shining libido.
This, and this is only. The only thing I need.
f'rl, flow was tight. Tracks were nifty (despite my already known opinion on that type of rock ) and some of them went really well together.
Feeling each other for their corresponding notes.
Nice one! Grabbing this now.
And by 'this' I meant my crotch.
Thanks Adam, and thank you all for checking it out.
Honestly, the technical aspect of this set was mostly fine, the one exception being the transition from Leftfield to Orbital. I'm not sure what the game plan was on that transition - when both tracks were beatless it was working harmonically but you held it for a baffling length of time.
Other than that the mixing was fine, and accomplished that mix-tape objective of the series very well. With the minimal amount of actual mixing you created a cool flow and made the transition from alt rock to progressive house make sense. You can hear the evolution of your taste across 80 minutes, which is a really cool touch, whether it was intentional or not.
The tunes were mostly familiar, and included a number of my own favourites from some all-time classic albums: Entroducing, Brown Album, Leftism and This Binary Universe. One band I hadn't heard before was God Is An Astronaut, and I really enjoyed that track.
Overall, you've nailed it.
Thanks man.
That flubbed transition was just basically a fuckup. Misjudged the breakdowns, and at that point I'd rerecorded so many times to fix other things I just left it, since that run through was my best.
I was indeed attempting to make that transition from the alt rock I was listening to when I first got into music to the stuff I got into over the years, so I'm glad that showed a bit in the mix. Doing this was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it, going back through a lot of older stuff and kind of reevaluating where I've come from. Thanks for letting me do it.
Oh, and God Is An Astronaut is great. Check out All Is Violent All Is Bright and The End of The Beginning. Their stuff can feel a little samey at times, but I really dig what they do. Would love to catch them live.
At The Drive In? Mars Volta? Looks nice Austin. Sinking my fully enamelled choppers into this one.
Austin this looks absolutely outstanding. Even though I was never HUGE into ATDI/Mars Volta, this is just full of great music. Definitely some memorable tracks in here, can't believe you dropped some Deftones! We seem to have had similar tastes growing up, and it looks to me like you approached the concept similar to how I think I would. Gonna give this a listen asap.
Its a shame because I often overlook this thread due to it being stickied. I need to catch up on several of these.
This was really awesome man, I enjoyed it a ton
I wasn't familiar at all with any of the songs until Song Of Life (and I've actually never heard that remix before, just the original and the remixes Sasha & Digweed used), but for the most part they were all fantastic. Wasn't a fan of the first couple, as they were a bit hard and "angsty" (I can't think of a better description) for my likings, but after that it really took off.
I need to look into some of those artists (once I figure out which song was which ). Also need to check out This Binary Universe. Brown Album is amazing as is that Bedrock remix. I Have Put Out The Light is one of my all time top10 favorite songs, and if Jack ever asked me to do one of these mixes I would have definitely used it as well
As Jack said, for the most part all the mixing was fine. That Leftfield/Orbital mix was a biiit hard on the ears, though, haha. Programming wise it was really great, imo. Great job of showing how your tastes have evolved over the years.
Really enjoyed this set man. I'll be listening to it a few more times to try to figure out which of those tracks I was unfamiliar with I want to look into more.
Cheers
So I went to see Leftfield and they opened with this version of Song Of Life, extended to epic proportions, and just at that point where the beat slams in some fucking Scottish girl starts asking me for drugs.
Thanks Lews, glad you enjoyed it. The beginning section is definitely not going to be many peoples cup of tea, and I've pretty much moved past that type of music entirely, but I couldn't exclude it. That is all the stuff I grew up on, for better or worse, and I'm sure it's influenced my tastes to a large degree. I really didn't start getting into electronic music truly until about 3 years ago, so I'm still a large noob in that regard.
Jack, that is awesome. I'd love to see Leftfield live, but sadly, I doubt they'd be coming to this side of the pond, and definitely not really in my area at all. Still glad I got to catch Orbital though, was really really mega even if they didn't pull too much of a crowd at Ultra (what a horrible fucking festival overall).
Dumb bimbos asking for drugs is hilarious. The first show I ever went to some chick who looked completely off her face stumbled up to us and looked at me in the most endearing way possible and was just like "baby, you got any pills?".
I laughed in her face and ignored her completely until she walked away.
Checking this out, strangely enough, because I'm intrigued by your inclusion of Circa Survive. I also happen to be a big fan of the Juturna album.
Awesome.
