Then we'll dig a tunnel, from my window to yours

Big snowstorm Sunday. Okay, one tells the exchange students from Caracas or Bangalore, now you've seen the real thing.


DJ RAN - ANOTHER KIND OF BLUE
Otherwise known as "Ran's Beatport chart (March 2007)"

01. Pantha Du Prince - Butterfly Girl (Sten Version)
02. Ada - Cool My Fire (I'm Burning)
03. PLEJ - Blue (A Different Shade Of Blue Remix by Akufen)
04. Isolée - Can't Sleep All Night
05. Markus Nicolai - Mr. Big Star (Time Too Short To Finish The Mix Mix)
06. Jesse Somfay - The Wind Blew Past As We Shut Our Eyes (Part One)
07. John Daly - Sky Dive
08. Lawrence - Along The Wire (Superpitcher Remix)
09. John Tejada - The End Of It All
10. Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life

BONUS 1: Ada - Cool My Fire (the slow version with lyrics) | The Whitest Boy Alive - Cool My Fire (acoustic cover by Erlend Øye)

BONUS 2: video for "Beautiful Life"

The one that never shows up as promised because it keeps changing (apart from songs with 'blue' in the title due to in-joke - well XD;). But Kristin asked again so I grabbed the last "code freeze" that was any good. If you don't have "Along The Wire" or "The End Of It All" by this point, dude, I dunno, you must not like my music or something. It's okay, I'll live. I've never posted "Beautiful Life" but consider it the finishing move on that combo. As well as Speicher/K2-style techno Gui Boratto does commercial trance type stuff, not on Kompakt; at such times he aspires to the firm of Sumner, Hook, Morris, & Gilbert.

Regarding the others: "Can't Sleep All Night" is probably the most straightforwardly electro-house Isolée's ever been, and it's still got all these sounds. The Ada and Markus Nicolai tracks are classics. Tip re: "Butterfly Girl" came from Tobias Thomas, as well as mix titling methodology, but where would we be if we couldn't steal from our betters.

To borrow from the meme(?) going around, you will enjoy this if you like: that moody German techno cover of Oruha's song, Télépopmusik, "Halcyon + on + on"

Ack, should've mentioned that I recognized "Along the Wire" and "End of it All," or rather knew that I knew them and knew that I must have gotten them from you, but (to my shame) could not immediately place title/artist. orz I mean, in absence of a helpful diva announcing the title directly in lyrics.

Bonus traaacks :9

Oh, that wasn't directed at you. XD;; I figured you did have them already; you'd have to be a total trainspotter nerd to be able to ID vocal-less techno tracks by name.

I may have a remix of "Beautiful Life" somewhere; will add to this post if I find it.

*downloads both mixes so far* The workday techno thing is actually right up my alley -- your description of what it is matches dead on one of the several quite different and largely unsearchable-for things I seek out in electronic music.

So many people are popping up to say they like my techno. XD; I should make a poll.

Have you gotten yours yet? :3

[akatonbo.livejournal.com]

Not yet! I keep hoping it'll turn up, but the postman hasn't coughed it up yet. :P

On the other hand, I was inspired by the workday techno to dig through some other stuff I had, found a track I'd half-forgotten that Creed sent me once, went to go see if the artist's other stuff was anything like it, and bought two albums worth of music that sounds like R2D2 flirting with a windchime. ;)

Downloaded! This will make the grind more bearable. <3

For a moment I thought your last sentence meant, you will like this if you like that moody German techno cover by Telepopmusik of Oruha's song, "Halcyon + on + on", and I was like "....wait."
