"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

I love that line from "Neuromancer" & it's the jumping off point for this mix.

Now if I was going to do a true Neuromancder mix I'd use stuff like Autechre & other noisy, abrasive electronica.  But this isn't really a Neuro mix, I'm not a big fan of later Autechre & music that gets so noisy as to be annoying.

In addition to that line, some new music I discovered at the end of last year got me thinking about an electronica style mix.  The excellent music blog, A Strangely Isolated Place, posted their A - Z of 2010 list on December 27th.  I discovered some great electronica like Lights Out In Asia, Tropics, aKido, Com Truise, Horizon Fire and more.  I listened to enough of the new stuff to know that I wanted to do a related mix.

The mix is fairly straight forward but takes a different turn when it hits the two soundtrack pieces, "Kanada's Death, pt. 2" & "Monsters Theme", from John Murphy & Jon Hopkins.  I absolutely love those two tracks & figured this was the best chance to incorporate them into a mix.  They actually fit pretty well.

Enjoy.
