As some of you may have guessed, this is a continuation of my earlier mix, "World Domination (Part 1)." The premise of this mix is a concept album, using other people's work instead of my own. If you want to know the whole story go back and find my earlier mix. It is there in detail.
Anyway, it's a three-act structure, not unlike a movie, and this is the third act. This is the part after the explosion where the protagonist goes back above ground to survey the damage. When he realizes what he's done he kills himself.
So... this was supposed to be a quieter, sadder mix. The man is basically surveying a wasteland of what the Earth once was. I hope this comes across when you listen.

A nice, slow, moody doom metal piece. Hopefully it sets the mood.

4 Sigur Ros & Mogwai : Luvstory
Very dark and brooding piece. Distorted instruments build up a wash of feedback. Makes me wanna crawl into a fetal position. Very scary. This is where the main character begins to realize how serious his actions were.

5 The Melvins/Lustmord : Idolatrous Apostate
A great mix of ambient soundscape and elements of hard rock. Sounds like machines having very rough sex. This is effectively the end of side 1. The next side is a little more structured, with not as much free-flow. It's still in the same vein, however.

6 Slint : Don, Aman
This is the beginning of side two. A slow, haunting song. I don't know why but I find it very, very scary.

7 Radiohead : Idioteque
A depressing, tragic song. The main character blew everything up, because he thought it would solve his problems. Now he is getting depressed all over again.

8 Pink Floyd : Welcome to the Machine
Although lighter than some of the other fare on the tape, I consider it a scary song. Very dramatic.

9 Godspeed You! Black Emperor : The Dead Flag Blues
Finally... the closer. Everything that has happened finally hits the protagonist and he realizes what he has done. After he has joined all of his long-gone Earth compadres the tape ends on a wistful note.
