Ceci n’est pas une mixtape

this is not a mixtape. it’s definitely not a mixtape of laid back, beautiful, quirky instrumental pop from France that spans the ages with a lush sound that is undeniably french. absolutely not. this is not a mixtape.

Inside The Mind Of Master Control

a mix of electro techno, instrumental eighties new wave, science fiction film soundtracks, idm and 8-bit video game music that tells the story of a man lost in a computer world. the only way out is to find the truth he seeks, but to obtain it he has to break into the Master Control Program. unfortunately the M.P.C. has become unstable and has gone rogue, taking over systems as quickly as possible. the only way to find the truth is to go deeper inside the mind of master control. will he find what he has been searching for and take down the M.P.C. or will his consciousness be digitized and assimilated into the Master Control Program?

uNpOp

welcome to the slop of the charts. uNpOp is throwing down all the hits that missed and he’s not happy about it. “is this even music?” he mutters to himself while picking out some of your favorite un-hit wonders. selecting records that have familiar elements of pop music but is decidedly not pop music is tough work. unfortunately for him, uNpOp has a knack for it. here’s his latest collection of flop forty. he doesn’t care for it.

PBS

this is the kind of music you might stumble upon fumbling around the tv dial back in the seventies and eighties when you click on PBS and there is a band performing jazz that stops you from changing the channel. the music is new, engaging, emotional, groovy and so well performed that it draws you in to the moment. it creates a safe little nook you can curl up in and take respite from the troubles of the world.

Brocken Spectre

most of the time a Brocken spectre, also called a Brocken bow, mountain spectre, or spectre of the Brocken, is the magnified giantic shadow of an observer cast in mid air upon any type of cloud opposite a strong light source. The figure’s head can be surrounded by a bright area called Heiligenschein, or halo-like rings of rainbow-coloured light forming a glory, which appear opposite the Sun’s direction when uniformly sized water droplets in clouds refract and backscatter sunlight. The term ‘Brocken spectre’ was coined in 1780 by Johann Silberschlag, a German pastor and natural scientist who frequented the Harz mountains and observed the affect for the first time atop Brocken, the range’s highest peak.
this time though, it refers to a trancey techno mix that aims straight for the center of the Heiligenschein.
