Heart Of Darkness: A literary concept mix (!) [Trance/Prog]
...At night sometimes the roll of drums behind the curtain of trees would run up the river and remain sustained faintly, as if hovering in the air high above our heads, till the first break of day.
This is a literary concept mix. I don't know what anyone will make of it- I expect it to sink like a concrete turd but I'll share it anyway, because it's a little bit different. It's based on Joseph Conrad's classic novella (upon which was based Apocalypse Now) Heart of Darkness. You don't have to have read HOD to listen to this mix, but I think it would help. On one level I simply wanted to recapture the mood of the story in music, but I also tried to represent the narrative in the music. Every track title has meaning and I'd like to think each track represents a particular part of the story.
So that's what this mix is all about : atmosphere and a narrative. None of these tracks are cutting edge- the newest are from 2006 and the oldest 1993 (or thereabouts) and mostly it's stuff from the early '00s. A couple of tracks are well known classics, a couple more should be familiar and a few might not be. I would have liked to have made a mix with totally new music or with completely unknown obscurities, but this is mainly about the concept. I've never seen it done before, I thought I'd try. So... enjoy.
