Last Message 1 week, 1 day ago- swamp : well, play iz 26 & feed iz 4. so thats deffo 30
- matrix : back to zero... let's just assume only 1000 of those downloads were real hehe
- matrix : no idea where the links to my mix are coming from... so i've renamed the mix
- Der DiskothekerTM : Thanx bong!
- bong : corrected
- Der DiskothekerTM : dear ops, there is a mistake in the artists list of My House Is Built Of Rock.: the name is Alan Vega, not Aöan ... big thanks if you could correct it
- AbeTwist : Still it looks cool, 1215 dl's Hate the fact that MJ's dead by the way, came as sort of a shock
- matrix : not guilty, m'lord.
- Ken Masters : Michael Jackson RIP
- swamp : itz not d/ls. theres bin a direct link posted somewheres, mayb several. so peeps iz klikin on the link repeatedly cos it wont werk. in reality, itz prob around the 50 d/l mark
- Der DiskothekerTM : this is more than a hit, this is a miracle: more tham 1.000 downloads in a day on matrix' actual mix!
- AbeTwist : wow, that was a fast upload!
- swamp : ...promises, promises...
- wyse : @Warvadal I've got a tracklist somewhere. I'll find it and upload.
- bong : i think the recent database problems caused a flux with people not being able to view the site properly, which in turn would probably have had a knock on effect with the lack of downloads experienced for that 2 week period.. the rest? who knows!
- ambientfusion : new mix in the works... been a while. hopefully have it uploaded soon.
- Der DiskothekerTM : The box remains mysterious to me. Sometimes a mix runs to some hundreds of downloads in ten days, sometimes it's only a slow dropping even though there is no difference in quality. I'm participating since more than one year now and still don't understand how it works... Nevertheless big thanks to all the mixers who make me puzzle about this question!
- Warvadal : @Mr. Wyse. I see you have a mix upload. Do you have a cover and/or tradklist to go with it? I will wait to post it until I hear from you. Peace.

- Max : Hey guys! Still enjoying the tapes for four years now! Keep it up!
- Warvadal : @DJtec. I had some problems with your back cover. Had to resize it (too big). + I don't know if that's the way you wanted it to look (sideways), but that's how it was uploaded. Let me know. I'm out of town until sunday. Peace.

3 - The Goodbye Highway - Tim ‘Love’ Lee
4 - Journey To Blofeld’s Hideaway - John Barry
5 - Mango Pickledown River - M.I.A.

7 - Cardiac Arrest - Firefox AK
8 - Main Title - Saint Etienne
9 - Gold Bug - R.O.C.
10 - Together In Electric Dreams - Lali Puna
11 - Fat Cat - Amorphous Androgynous
12 - Lagoon West - Richard H Kirk
13 - Mena Creek Paronella Park Walk - Digifishmusic
14 - St Ives Bay - Tom Middleton
15 - Pretend It’s A Race And I’m On Your Side - James Figurine
16 - Snapshot - The Art Of Noise
17 - Trip 7 - Pete Namlook

19 - Chesh - The Black Dog
20 - Niobe - Caribou
21 - Frosch - Mouse On Mars
22 - Love’s Theme - Barry White
23 - A While Ago And Recently - Erlend Oye
Some of these records are absolute treasure.

Better than advertised. I just recently discovered Amorphous Androgynous, they create some awesome sounds.
Peace.
November 17th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
indeed they do. great mixes as well. shedloads ov stuff can be d/led from fsol.disenchanted.com. jus klik on “files” link
November 17th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Great mix. Many tracks and artists I’m fond of. I love Lagoon West , I played it on the radio years back , it’s an epic track. I end up humming it at odd times. Amorphous, Mouse On Mars, lal Puna (603 is a gem by them), Love’s Theme by barry White, etc, you must have been in my vinyl bin. Great mix.
November 17th, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Nice to see you on the solo tip again Ed. Looks a good un, on the d/l now. cheers hp
November 18th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Yes, Lagoon West has always been one of my all-time favourites. It’s just so beautiful (and epic as you say). Really evocative, tranquil, and inspiring at the same time. That whole Richard H Kirk album is superb but Lagoon West has really stood the test of time for me.
The other two favourites for me on here are the Caribou and Erlend Oye tracks.
Niobe has got such a totally unique sound. It’s the most banging and mellow at the same time - really inventive. The whole Caribou album is great, but none of it sounds like this.
“A while ago and recently” is just amazing. Right up there with my favourite songs of the last few years. The music and lyrics are unhurried and understated. The whole thing has a real melancholy beauty.
I’d definitely agree with the FSOL / Amorphous recommendations. Their essential mix from 1993 is basically why I’m here doing these mixes.
Thanks for the comments guys, hope you all like the mix.
November 18th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Yeah, the music’s alright I suppose. But the cover photography is awesome.
November 19th, 2007 at 9:17 am
i totally agree with you on caribou niobe. thats indeed a very special track - cant wait to download this mix.
November 19th, 2007 at 10:01 am
ye. nice mix ed
November 20th, 2007 at 6:22 am
I like your mixes ED……… cheers mate
November 20th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Cheers Polanski - hope you like this one as well.
November 20th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Wow, will be digging a bit deeper on some of these artists. Nice one.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:56 am
enjoyed this one ed - some tunes I will definitely be digging for; the vibe and the samples were excellent. Chesh as always is a winner and I think that mouse on mars tune was amazing (if thats the right one).
Still - good stuff, must listen again!
November 24th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Top stuff as usual Edward… hats off. I haven’t paid close attention to the tracklist (yet), but there’s a couple of excellent bits that sound like ambient versions of some classic dance tracks I remember from the 90’s. Hang on, I remember them does that mean I wasn’t really there?
November 24th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
Not my usual mix of choice, but you came up trumps again mate.
Really enjoyed this, I think that I pick the right mood to listen to your mixes as sometimes I can’t be arsed with slower stuff.
November 24th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
A really lovely, serene mix.
Gotta say that, listening to this for the first time, I was reminded somewhat of some of bongs earlier mixes ?
Please take that as a compliment btw.
Thank you.
November 24th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Thanks for the nice comments everyone - makes it all worthwhile. (Obviously I do it for the love of the music etc etc, but I do like to get my ego stroked every now and then!).
That’s probably the Caribou track which I reckon is a dead-ringer for Binary Finary but isn’t credited anywhere. I’m sure you were there in the 90’s, maybe you’re just remembering the tracks from a Ministry of Sound TV Ad?
It’s more sinister than that, I actually watch you 24hrs and wait until you’re in just the right mood before posting a new mix! I’m glad all that surveilance effort paid off this time…
Yeah, definitely a compliment. I’m always amazed with Bong’s mixes how he gets them so detailed and densely packed while still posting one pretty much every month.
Ta very much all (apart from that “Don Goodwin” character), Ed
November 24th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
ha ha ha!!! In that case you’ve been watching me dogging… don’t tell anyone
Also meant to mention how good it was to hear Amorphous Androgynous again… used to batter their album with a load of mates in my first year of Uni (’93) smoking something that should remain anonymous……
Unless I’m totally mistaken that was a pseudonym for FSOL.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:57 am
thanks edward. look out for this months densely packed mix… a big ambient fukka
November 26th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
Very keen to listen to this, but it’s just hung twice whilst downloading - will try again another time.
Thanks for the fsol.disenchanted.com link Edward, I’m a massive FSOL fan, and interested that the 93 Essential Mix was the one that set you off, as for me it was a tape of the 94 mix (complete with a Radio 1 Newsbeat about Tony Blair being favourite to win the Labour leadership contest!). I also loved that ISDN album they released soon after. I hadn’t heard the 93 mix, but have just downloaded and looking forward to listening. Hopefully my d/l will sort itself out soon, and I can listen to your mix too.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
ive jus d/l complete file no problemo. lookz like a prob your end mr_l
November 27th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Mr_lovely: Thank Swamp for the link to FSOL stuff. It was a new one for me - there’s lots of FSOL goodness on that site I don’t have yet.
Maybe it’s just ‘cos it was the first one I heard, but the 93 mix is definitely my favourite. I can’t remember what was on NewsBeat that day though. I carefully dubbed over the news using excerpts from the Cascade CD single on my copy.
If you’re still having trouble downloading the mix, you can also get it from MixDownloads.Net or just e-mail me.
Ed

93 essential mix is the bomb
November 28th, 2007 at 11:13 am
Listened to this twice now, lovely stuff, thanks!
November 29th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Ed, listened to this loads now. What can I say except Brilliaaaaaaant (on a Fast Show tip at the mo). Loved your clever little tweaks as usual, you’ve got a great ear for mixing stuff up m8.
Yeah that Disenchanted site is mind boggling. I spent a week last christmas clearing it out completely. Probably never get to listen to all of it but what a treasure trove of material. (I wish there was a similar site for The Orb - is there??) Like loads of peeps here if it wasn’t for the 93 FSOL Essential mix I would’nt be here now. Thank god it inpired so many of us. cheers hp
November 29th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
Absolutely loved this throughout (once I’d finally got it to download). Great vibe, inspired tunes and original samples. A really fresh sounding chilled mix that has plenty enough depth to make it a keeper. Thanks Edward.
December 6th, 2007 at 8:16 pm
Edward, this mix is awesome!!!! It’s like you picked out all my favorite electronic tracks! I love every track on this mix! I have been stuck in this rut of rock lately that I have not been able to escape. I DO beleive this mix has cured me for a while… I am back into electronix again.. WooHooo!!! Especially when I heard that classic Art Of Noise melody. I just love the old electronic anolog sound. I now know what my next mix will be… Back to my first love… electronic joy! Thanks for the inspiration.
December 14th, 2007 at 11:09 am
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever inspired anyone before. Cheers Green Cheese, I’m a big fan of your more electronic mixes as you know so I’m glad to hear I’ve got you back in the mood for one.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Edward, Once again, I want to thank you for the inspiration. As a result, I have finished my new mix
Green Cheese Vol 42 (Houston We Have A Problem)… Check it out when you get a moment… sooo glad to be back into electronix! Forgot how embedded that is into my soul! Takes me way back!

R.I.P. The great Arthur C Clarke who’s work features throughout this mix.

Probably the smuggest writing style ever but always thought-provoking and entertaining.
