Mixtape - This Mortal Coil Original Versions

Top quality collection of tracks that were reborn across This Mortal Coil's classic albums.

Having recently forked for the ridiculously beautiful This Mortal Coil boxset (beautiful except for the price, actually) I've been reminded what a wonderful thing This Mortal Coil was. A combination of exquisite covers and original material, TMC leads the listener to some great albums from Gene Clark, Big Star, The Byrds, Chris Bell and, more recently, Gary Ogan and Bill Lamb.

It's inspired me to collect together some of the This Mortal Coil original versions into a mix. And quite a mix it is too.

Melancholy Country, psychedlic-tinged Folk Rock, decimated post-Powerpop melancholy and New Wave. All these were put through the TMC mixer and assimilated into Ivo Watts-Russell's vision (with the help of John Fryer and a cast of diverse musicians, of course). As a consequence, it's sometimes quite a shock to hear the originals which can be somewhat less ethereral. All these songs are beautiful though.

Enjoy.

This Mortal Coil - The Inspirations by Occasional Rain on Mixcloud

Advisory Circle Mixtape (November 2011)

Expansive mix from the man behind The Advisory Circle's haunted electronica. 

Taking in library sounds, classic Techno, Radiophonic experiments and more besides, this is an intriguing mix that takes in Carl Craig (in his 69 guise), Jim O'Rourke, library guy Keith Mansfield, the timeshifted dubstep bleep of Holy Other and a host of other things I've never heard of.

'Everything is Neu' by Hatchback is a particular favourite, a rumbling synthetic hymn to the motorik beat. It builds beautifully to a euphoric splendour.

The mix opens with a track from the latest release in Ghost Box's Study Series. Entitled 'Autumnal Activities', it's Number 7 in the series of desirable 7"s and sees Pye Corner Audio in collaboration with The Advisory Circle. It's a sombre, gentle piece of public information film soundtracking, riven by the sounds of wind and the sound of a haunted oboe.

Available from the Ghost Box shop of course.
