Been meaning to do this mix for awhile, it’s a mixed bag of 60’s 70′ Folk, Prog, Pscyadelic Rock and a few other genres. Most of them had been sitting in my ‘to sample’ folder as they contain either great melodies or fat breaks, and few I just generally like.
Hope you enjoy.

Hey Benchmark, i so much love this set by you, im listening to it almost every week, for me it is masterpiece. Very well done really, cant get enough even after all these years i have it. It is one of first things that i copy to my new phones/players etc.
Thanks for that i really appreciate this work of you

At the very least, this is going to be very interesting. Seen some that I know, and some that I don’t…will report back ASAP
Wonderfully done! Peace.
10 mins into mix & lovin every track.. nice smooth tempo’s with great vocals, quality guitar work; perfect for the beachlife…
Thanks for listening!
Really enjoyed this…didn’t notice ‘Classical Gas’ in the playlist so that was a nice surprise, and that cover by Jimmy Ponder was bloody marvellous
Classical Gas is a great track, there are numerous versions of it, but this one is my favourite.
Are there? Mason Williams is the only one I’ve ever heard, no need for another version when his sounds so good
The Shadows did a cover, which is really good and also I think Vanessa Mae even did a version, haven’t heard that one though.
brilliant – trippy and inspiring – enjoyed every minute – some great samples to be used/been used… NICE ๐
Cheers!
That mix between ‘while my guitar weeps’ & ‘knights in white satin’ gave me goosebumps.
Sublime.
