I'm pretty sure it's the 'vocal interlude' before Little Speaker on the Underworld vs The Misterons 12.12.07 Lemonworld broadcast.
I love that 'story', I listened to it a lot when I was editing my Oblivion With Bells Tour Mixes as it was used at the start of Phonestrap 6 Autotrader 4 at one of the London Roundhouse gigs.
I would love to know who came up with this text (and the Bruce Lee Bullet story) and how?

It's a great mix by the way!

Re: Somnopolis
 

Thanks! Tell us more about the Oblivion tour mix. What’s that?

Re: Somnopolis
 

Yup, on both counts. Thanks.

Re: Somnopolis
 

They are several mixes I did that basically condensed the best (my opinion) versions of each track they played on the OWB tour Live Here Now cds.
I did it all on Audacity (with a limited understanding of Audacity) and I keep thinking I may have another go at a couple of the mixes with new techniques I've learnt in Audacity if I ever get the time!
They should still be available on the link in the dedicated thread.

The tracklists on these look amazing! Downloading them all now in lossless and will give them a go. Thanks a lot!

Re: Somnopolis
 

Thanks very much! These are basically my attempt to do something like the old Underworld broadcasts so that any Dirties like them is the greatest measure of success.

Somnopolis 04

Of note to Dirties, included in this is my attempt to seamlessly edit multiple versions of Jumbo and Nicodemus into a single track. I know they've been mixed by the group before but my favorite bits are in disparate recordings so I tried to make an Ultimate version.

This mix is an attempt to compile a collection of “closing” tracks, or tracks powerful enough to be album closers, and sequence them into a seamless listening experience with a beginning, middle and end. Sonically this is almost exactly half instrumental and half vocal, this is a seamless blend of deep synth pads, drowned beats, and the processed plucks of acoustic guitar strings.

01. Orbital: Halcyon + On + On
02. Fluke: Absurd (Whitewash Edit)
03. Guy Pratt: One Combination
04. The Orb: Toxygene
05. Simon Boswell: City Of Data

07. Leftfield: Open Up
08. Empirion: Narcotic Influence 2
09. Underworld: Cherry Pie
10. Simon Boswell: Hackers Suite
11. Leftfield: Original
12. Kruder & Dorfmeister: Original Bedroom Rockers
13. Underworld: Cowgirl
14. Guy Pratt featuring David Gilmour: Grand Central Station

Your website, and mixes, are superb. Thank you.

Re: Somnopolis
 

Nice mix! Takes me back to the "golden age"(?!) when Electronica was poised to take over the world! Well, maybe not, but the tracks represent some of my favorite artists and a period when i was just hitting the tip of the iceberg of electro music.
Enjoyed the mix very much - some quality transitions, indeed (except the rough cut and slowdown into "toxygene", but that vocal sample is always abrupt).
Thanks so much for the share!
