This was, as they say, extremely good .
The way you brought in the Papua vocal near the end there gave me the shiverzzz. |

A special edition of Absorb this week, dedicated to the recently departed Eli Wallach, with elements of Ennio Morricone's iconic score from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly woven into a cinematic sonic tapestry. After having no idea what I was going to do, I hit upon this idea quite quickly and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out - definitely one of my more adventurous and conceptual mixes.
Ennio Morricone – Padre Ramirez [Capitol]
The Future Sound Of London – Photosynthesis [Jumpin' & Pumpin']
Eschaton – Jhana [Omni]
The Future Sound Of London – Serengheti [Jumpin' & Pumpin']
Ennio Morricone – Sentenza (Excerpt) [Capitol]
Jesper Kyd – City Of Rome [Ubisoft]
Ennio Morricone – The Sundown [Capitol]
Andrew Lahiff – Expanse Beyond The Beacons [Bandcamp]
Moshic – The Kid, The Piano, The War [YoYo]
Moshic – Drongo [YoYo]
Sohrab – You Are Not Alone II [Touch]
Ennio Morricone – Marca Without Hope [Capitol]
Clubroot – Orbiting [Lo Dubs]
Blue Daisy – Distance (Once Upon A Time) [Black Acre]
Apparat – Blank Page [Mute]
36 – Equassa [3six]
Ennio Morricone – The Trio [Capitol]
Ennio Morricone – Padre Ramirez [Capitol]
Ennio Morricone – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly [Capitol] |

True account of my stupidity here: When putting this mix on initially I was irked by some of the white noise artefacts that showed up in the beginning, and then jumped to the conclusion that there was something wrong on my end. I even ended up screwing open the little head-amp I use because I was convinced I heard something rattling in there, and after some more shaking and poking around a part did come flying out (hope it wasn't important :p). Obviously it didn't solve the issue, and after breaking my head for a bit longer while re-listening it started to dawn on me that the crackles were occurring in a strangely rhythmic fashion, and then it finally started to add up: "Wait a minute, this is an FSOL episode... *bonk*"
Yeah so it didn't help that I was completely baked, but god damn.
Anyway, embarrassing anecdotes aside I was obviously bound to like this one. It's just endlessly fascinating music to me. You know I haven't gotten around to listening to most of the environments series barring I think the first one. I guess partly because I feel I already know I'm going to like them which sort of breaks the appeal for me in a way (yeah I'm one of those weirdos), so this was a welcome episode in that regard and I think it was handled about as good as it could be considering the material.
I listened to the episode before that as well but I'll probably cover it later, needs a re-listen and the more pad-heavy stuff is generally something I need to enjoy in moderation. It was good though, from what I remember at least. |

I didn't actually use any of the first one. I tried to slip in a couple of token bits but I didn't have any faith in them at all. The challenge was making a coherent set out of four different albums with quite varied moods, especially as the FSOL have always been prone to rapidly-mutating samplescapes. You need a strong controlling idea or mood to bind all the psychedelic juxtapositions together, which E2-E5 do, but I in this mix didn't. I eventually decided to group all the more live psych-rocky stuff together at the end and aim towards that, with a little Papua twist at the end (glad that tickled your balls a little, Austin). On the day I had to submit it I still didn't like the flow, so I simply switched two tracks around and suddenly it made sense.
Anyway, here's this week's episode, with Dom getting his Aphex fanboy on to celebrate the release of Syro:
Aphex Twin - Tree [Warp]
Aphex Twin - On (28 mix) [Warp]
Aphex Twin - Gwely Merlans [Warp]
Aphex Twin - Curtains [Warp]
Caustic Window - On the Romance Tip [Rephlex]
AFX - W32.Deadcode.A [Rephlex]
Aphex Twin - produk 29 [Warp]
Aphex Twin - Flim [Warp]
Aphex Twin - I [R&S Records]
Aphex Twin - Stone in Focus [Warp]
Aphex Twin - Bit 4 [Warp]
The next episode will definitely be a prog breaks special, now all these pesky '90s legends have finished releasing stuff. |

| Been listening to these mixes on repeat cycle for almost a week now (in addition to listening to them before that on a more on/off basis). I think along with Steven Hays' Violet Crown Sessions and sunsurge's Windmill Sessions Redux they're my favourite series of mixes to work to since I joined TA. Stunning work, man....keep it up! |

I was wondering if you would, and figured the bits I didn't recognize in this came from E1, since I haven't heard E5 yet.
Actually, I listened to this just to see how you could meld all the Environments into a cohesive whole without making it sound like you were just playing excerpts from each album in sequence. Good job, this. |
