i'll say, the individual sections of this are excellent -
great track selection for mash-ups. i don't know most of the
original tracks and i have a hard time discerning which
parts are from which, so from that standpoint youve done
your job.

the transitions between the sections however leave a bit
more to be desired. they sound like there should be some
more intricate filter work to move the parts into and out of
each other, not just a simple cross-fade. (a large chunk of
my transitions are done by bringing in one part with the
bass cut and rolling up a low pass filter, then slowly
bringing back the bass on the previous track to drop the low
end of the next at some later time).

but this is from a strictly constructive standpoint, it
still gets a thumbs up from me.

Fair enough. I can see what you are saying going from
neighbors next door to when the sped up rap kicks in, if i
didnt know that the first section of sped up rap is still
neighbors next door (it is like an inhale then drop). Going
from that track into the weirdo monkey rock I just wanted to
get it real sparse for a sec for those weirdo samples to
start. I think if I performed it live with a controller
hooked up it would sound more visceral maybe.

But yea I am glad you like it thanks for all the comments.

performing live (as opposed to playing prescribed parts),
whether it be on computer or physical instrument, adds such
a dare i say human quality to the music - i bet if you had
been able to record automations for those transitions
instead of drawing an envelope they would have been a lot
more satisfying.

and actually, the parts where you brought in the vocals
weren't what troubled me, those worked pretty well actually,
it was more particularly the transition into iera where it
just felt like things got a bit lost. in a live situation,
you would hear this immediately and just speed up the
transition, but as it was there were just a few too many
bars where not enough was happening to keep keen interest.

as i said before, these are constructive comments - overall
it was a great sounding mix. i personally wish i would get
more feedback like this myself - learning from mistakes yada
yada yada.

I don't see Monster Mash in there, which is the
reason I came in!

I actually downloaded it and considered using it, but then i
didn't

Then I thought I remembered hearing bits of it on that Mike
and Rich CD, but I couldn't find it so maybe it was
something else.

C'mon people are you too scared of the monsters?

We got ghasts, ghouls, trolls, gremlins, wendigo.

I got the muthaf@ CHUPAKABRA

This is what you get: A head nodding crown, little bit
gangsta, little bit industrial, even a hint of dub. Totally
scarey!

An oozing, disgusting monster mash filling. Totally
abstract deconstructed rhythm and rap. It's like gooeey tar
dripping between your teeth. You will want to remove your
own guts!

This is layered on top of a dada crunch you cannot resist.
So silly, yet *important*. We got monkeys and chickens and
most importantly Glenn Danzig!!!

All this on top of another head nodding heel. We know your
trip to hell wore you out, so we'll finish with some easier
listening. Still plenty sPoOkY, but damn jammin too.

yea you are right about iera. I tried to be respectful of
the original material and adapt to what they are doing.
With that song, it is just a really slow, almost medative
burn after that first initial section starts to wind down
(which in the case of this mix is when the first sped up rap
winds down too.) What I tried to do was grab onto a loop
from ae that was the most head nodding out of that section
and repeat it, alternating with more the deconstructed parts
from the track. Then I start to bring the andy smith/geoff
barrow track in underneath it (although quiet and subtle) to
give it a subtle hook while maintaining the sparse, abstract
atmosphere.
