Mixtape: Flux-Rad 2008, Pt. 3

Well, I guess I let myself get away from … myself. There are four 2008 mixtapes. Here is part three. A bit about these songs, quickly. The Shearwater song was recorded for the Esopus Magazine compilation. The Telepathe song is from the Living Bridge compilation from Rare Book Room Records. Mediums are a local instrumental outfit that quietly released one of the prettiest albums of the year (Altogether), and the Eastern Sea are also local and quite talented. And yes, the entire Sonar Kollektiv Orchester album is smooth ’70s stuff – brilliant. Finally, it looks like Fennesz will end up on several year end lists belonging to discerning and thoughtful listeners, so he’s not here — listen to Travis & Fripp instead.
