Torrent description

"Eye Foreign I" is an hour long mix of 24 beats I have created during the past year and a half. All tracks in the mix are brand new, original, and created by me. They represent, at least I think, some of my best creations out of the near 100 compositions stored on my MPC's memory card. Although I would label it Hip-Hop, it could easily get categorized as Downtempo, Chill Out, or Trip-Hop. At any rate that doesn't really matter.

Everything in this mix is from my post-Reason period, where I abandoned all software in favor of -- mainly, an MPC 500. The mix is put together like my others as a sort of story line; "Eye Foreign I" refers to otherness, conflict, individuality, and even happiness and I believe that musically it reflects those feelings.

Work safe with the exception of "Why Can't We Be Enemies?" It is mostly instrumental with the exception of a few narrations and sound bites.

Last thing, if people seem to like this mix I am contemplating one, or both of the following ideas. First, I would release an unedited, full version of two tracks on one 7", 45 RPM single. The cost would be between $5-7. Second, I would release an unmixed CD or digital download of all the tracks, including "12-inch" DJ versions with intro and outro breaks for easy mixing. If there is enough interest in the 7" I will have 100 copies pressed.
