Track Description:
"I've been rapping for about seventeen years" One of the best album-openers I know of, this song starts with a bang, but somehow ends up in uber-mellow land. For an album opener, it sure sounds a lot like an outro. SHOW LESS

Crossfading this amazing cut with the previous is highly suggested. The frenetic beats on this track make me giddy. Even though it is a 'techno-ish' track, it flows into the next track quite well. Plus, Aphex is a God. SHOW LESS

"seventeen years" is a brutal opener for this mix (or any, for that matter) but i think "stinkfist" and "bring the ruckus" are highlights. nice concept.
