This is a mix put together using tracks from my favourite albums of 2007. As such it was quite a tricky thing to do as the selection was not made with a mix in mind. But, as is often the case while working on a mix, I found myself pondering something completely unrelated and slowly this exerted an influence that helped focus things in a previously unthought of way. In this instance it was the idea of author Marcus Sedgwick that the days between Christmas Day & New Year are The Dead Days, quiet days when nothing seems to happen yet it is the time “when spirits roam and magic shifts just beneath the surface of our lives.” Hopefully the mix reflects this.

Fog Memories

What if I’d remembered her wrong?

Originally inspired while walking early in the morning through fog shrouded woods in the Cotswolds; after a while I found myself thinking about a friend of mine I’m very fond of but haven’t seen for sometime. Anyway, approx running order goes something like this:

00:01 ‘Haunted Ballroom’ - The Caretaker 
02ish ‘Fog Animal’ - Deaf Centre
05:30ish ‘In the Cold I’m Standing’ - M83
09:00is ‘Black Dress’ - Svarte Greiner
18:00ish ‘Another Ballard For Heavy Lids’ - Stars Of The Lid
20:00ish ‘Final Sleep’ - Svarte Greiner
25:15ish ‘St.Christopher’ - Mark Isham
27ish ‘Waves Become Wings’ - This Mortal Coil
30:10ish ‘Cad Godddeu’ - Nest
34:15ish Clip from Solaris
37:15ish ‘Stay With Me’ - Clint Mansell
39 ish clip from Solaris
 

plus assorted Crow samples,  a bell sampled from the This Mortal Coil track and plenty of pops, crackles and scrapes courtesy of the tracks on Type records.
