original soundtracks

A Gringo Like Ennio

as a huge fan of Ennio Morricone I wanted to do a mix of his works, but where to start? the man has over 500 soundtracks under his belt that range the full gamut of film genres! i decided to present a luving mix of his famous spaghetti western scores. enjoy the inventive orchestrations, complex arrangements and often times bizarre instrumentation that have helped make some all time classics.

a mix that starts and ends with Rush’s “2112”, but in between it sounds like the history of rock and pop music has been pulled apart, blended and abstracted into a sonic pulp that has become it’s own trip. the sweet daddy’s dedication to February 1st, 2012 (a.k.a. 2/1/12)

odd pop, rock 'n' roll

Pop Rocks 25

odd pop music that was created between 1967 and 2004 at the Sandoz Labs by fusing sugar, lactose, corn syrup, lysergide and pressurized carbon dioxide. it differs from typical pop music in that it creates a fizzy reaction when it dissolves in one’s mind.
