Whoomp. There it is.

The small details:
It's 98-odd megabee's of pure joy, zip file, yadda yadda. Could have been bigger but we're going with MediaFire as a trial run, so there's a 100mb limit to work around as opposed to DivShare's 200mb and bonus trade-off risk of malicious spyware fuckin' up yer shit.

Orera has already been discussed at YoS, we have some young Serge, Dutronc the dandy, an alternate take of a Monk tune that, as a friend mentioned in his book makes him more interesting to listen to- the imperfections and plink-plonks that he chose to leave in rather than put a perfect version on the initial releases....Scott Walker needs no intoduction, Akiko Wada has balls, we go on a Latin/Boogaloo tangent to bring forth Spring , a track to honor the late Alton Ellis, some analog synth'n'reverbed Bee Gees well before the leviathan disco comeback/re-branding, that Wobble/Liebzeit/Czukay track I rhapsodized about at YoS, and lastly, one of those Barack Obama soundbites from that audiobook he did that have been floating around the internet.

As always- thanks to the stellar music blogs out there (Lovefingers, ArtDecade, MuddUp! ---links to the right) where some of the tracks were culled from, and if you happen to be the artist, rsvp, and the offending track will be removed. It's for the love of the music, baby. Go buy some records
