This mixtape is a collection of songs that I thoroughly enjoy when I'm in one of those mellow, contemplative and somewhat antisocial moods. Most of them are real calm, a few are somewhat upbeat, but they all contribute to the mood in some way. The songs are arranged for a swelling effect that keeps feeling, but doesn't put you to sleep.
tracklist
| 1 | Apocalyptica : Epilogue (Relief) |
|
mmmm cellos, so tastey. This track is very calm and beautiful. Actually comes at the end of the album, but works perfectly as the start to this mix. Strings have an amazing calming affect on me and cellos are at the perfect range.

| 2 | Adrian Juschau : To See You Again |
|
This is a track noone else will know, but this mix is about me - so fuck you. That being said, it is by a guy I met who was a LDS missionary. One of my buddies converted and I had a whole bunch of mormon friends anyways so I came to meet this guy. Great piano player who actually ended up in the Guiness Book of World Records for fastest playing of chords on a track on this album called Invictus (amazing song). This song starts very quiet and pretty, builds up to some intensity and eases back down to near silence at the end.

Great song musically and lyrically. I almost went with just the instrumental by Scotti Matalic which is unbelievably soothing, but was in the mood for the lyrics as well this time. SHOW MORE

| 5 | The Cure : Burn |
|
The Cure are one of those groups that I can't necessarily explain why I like them, but I really do. This song, however, needs no explanation. Awesome song from an awesome soundtrack from an awesome movie. Listening to the song puts me in the movie everytime.

The unplugged version of this song reaches in and pulls at my heart-strings. The accoustic guitars, bass, and soft drums mixed with Lane Staley's haunting voice is just unbelievable.

Extremely chill track off of Lucy Ford. Great, great vibe to this song and I love the storytelling and vocal styling of Slug on it. I'm constantly throwing this album when I feel like vegging out.

| 10 | Mogwai : Cody |

This song is extremely calming. Slow, simplistic, and spacious music mixed with soft, airy, and melancholy vocals. One of the few Mogwai tracks that has singing, but still amazing. I get completely lost in this song every time.

Absolutely amazing track. This is another song that has the affect of completely sweeping me up and taking me to another place. One of the best video-song combinations I've ever seen as well.

| 12 | Subtle : f.k.o. |
|
The first time I heard this song was actually watching the awesome animated video. It was everything I wanted in a song at that moment, and I didn't even know it. Likewise, Subtle turned out to be everything I was looking for in a group. Both of which was suprising since I hate pretty much everything else Doseone has done. This song is a magical journey of music.

| 13 | John Vanderslice : Exodus Damage (Alias Remix) |
|
Ran across this song by accident. Saw a post by Alias on a message board and decided to download it. Completely kicked me in the ass. Amazing amazing remix by Alias. In fact, my favorite remix by Alias. Everything about this song is great. It has an energetic beat, but the music combined with the lyrics still has the mellowing affect on me. It is available for free download and I recommend everyone track it down.

Good mix grasshopper, I like the balls of throwing sage between opeth and the cure...I'll have to listen to that transition haha.
Lot of good songs, there isn't one here I don't like (of those I've heard).
Little side note on Eluvium...haven't really listened to any of their recorded material...but when I saw them (I should say 'him') open for Explosions... The dude is so goofy looking...he has huge buggy eyes, and I think he was wearing some makeup (not flamboyant makeup, but like skin-smoothing makeup), and he looked like an Anime character. It was fucking creepy.
