Of unity with parody, tragedy or comedy, probably publicity...

The saga continues with the longest Ultramix yet (in it's online form at least). You can actually spend an entire working day immersed in the sounds of 1993, even the ones you didn't like then and still wouldn't now (there's bound to be a few) - but all mixed up as was not the style of the time. Listen, at least just the first time, without prejudice ;) Full tracklisting is here. Much more condensed CD version to come in a few weeks. In the meantime...

These are 256kbps MP3s of varying sizes but no one part is longer than 30 minutes so it might be a bit easier to access any section that may emerge as your favourite.

NUM NUM

ending with the indie i see

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

ha ha, not quite! see full tracklisting...

there is some 'embrassing' stuff on here i must say, but it's for posterity innit. for example i let that Perfecto remix of U2's 'Lemon' go on a bit TOO long (but it's 90s club canon so had to go in).

warning: YOU WILL NEVER REACH THE PRESENT

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

i will reach it before Tom does with 'Popular'!

ok maybe not... :/

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

This is a much more summery mix than the last one but you appear to have left out Mr Loverman, Oh Carolina AND Informa. Go back and do it again.

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

Actually ignore me, I am only one-third wrong.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

'Informer' is in there somewhere but the other two were shock exits from the preliminary round alas.

What do you mean we need a break from the old routine?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I loved Oui3.

it has aged reasonably well!

time to change the oil in the motor, instead of sticking to the same old rota

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It has put a smile on my face today!

well then i hope Jesus Jones didn't ruin it for you...

Re: time to change the oil in the motor, instead of sticking to the same old rota

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I quite like that Jesus Jones song! I make no secret of my grebo-love...

hurrah! also the Prodigy remix of 'Zeroes And Ones' is ace

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Ha, funnily enough I finally got around yesterday to burning the parts of Ultramix92 I liked best onto CD. Wot timing.

Looking forward to hearing parts 13 & 14 of this.

Also pleased to see Marxman made the cut, if only briefly.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I'm probably going to end up making a 2CD version of every year's mix, for DJing with and whatnot. I could've sent you a 4CD '92 mix tho.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Part 5 has U Got 2 Let The Music! This is a wonderful track.

[cis.livejournal.com]

Summery's the exact word for it! I keep semi-recognising things that I must have heard ambiently at the time and not since, it's awesome.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Have to say props to Bananarama here - their cover of 'More More More' outstrips Rachel Stevenses for bouncy fun-ness.

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I was completely unaware that they'd covered that. And here's me thinking I was an Bananarama expert...

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

it deserves a YSI in it's own right really. PERHAPS I WILL MAKE IT SO LATER.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

there was a glitch in part 20 during the Utah Saints track which has now been fixed so re-download that if you got it already!
