The Changstar Mix Tape

(1/7) > >>

drfindley:
One of the problems when going to a meet is there is that every person/vendor's sample music library varies wildly and often their taste in test tracks sucks (you know how you are).

Let's pick a set of tracks (preferably around 20) everyone should have so that as we go from listening station to listening station we are comparing apples to apples, not apples to the worms you all call music (or test tracks).

I know there are a couple of threads on people's test tracks, but this is more to get us all to agree (ish) on a set of like 10-20 that we'd like at each listening station. Maybe we should make a CD and hand them out to people, but I'm not sure how that all works royalty-wise. Maybe a Tidal playlist? Or some FLACs we promise to not copy into our permanent library?

Maybe we should make a bunch of copies for all the single people so they can give them to that one cute person and they'll know you're a headphone nerd and fall madly in love with you. I'd expect it to go something like this: "Oh, you have the Changstar Mix Tape? Here's my number"

*ahem*. Back to business.

I've added the first two recommendations that I'm stealing straight from Merv, LFF and OJNeg. I'll update this list as we go. People can vote for or against what's up here. Please also let me know the version.

1: Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place (1986 CD)
2: Aphex Twin - Ageispolis (?)
3: Hell Freezes Over - HC (?)
4: Dire Straits - "Money For Nothing" (original mastering vinyl or CD)
5: Eric Clapton - Unplugged - Layla (?)
6: Sheffield Labs - Drum Improvisation
7: Sheffield Labs - Die Walkure
8: Ombra mai fu - Heroes - Andreas Scholl

frenchbat:
You might want to precise the version to make sure everyone's on the same page.

lm4der:
I would add that a Changstar Dance CD should also be provided for when the lights go down.  So everyone can boogie.

Anaxilus:
HC from HFO. Everyone's sick of it, but it's universal and you can cover 85% of what you need to hear in a matter of 30 secs.

Griffon:
Die Walkure from Sheffield Labs?
