Re: Somnopolis
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!

Yup, on both counts. Thanks.

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.

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.

Re: Somnopolis
Hey all - thought you might like this DJ mix I made of tracks from the Hackers soundtrack, which compiles stuff from the original releases, the 25th anniversary reissue, and the original score. Includes a couple Underworlds of course. Nothing too fancy but some clever transitions, I think.

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
06. BT: Remember
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
15. Leftfield: Inspection (Check One)
16. Massive Attack: Protection
17. BT: Godspeed
18. The Prodigy: One Love
19. The Prodigy: Voodoo People

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!
