It's time I uploaded some of the tapes I've been making for our sweet Metal Punk Tape Exchange. My recipient has had two years of sole ownership now, maybe someone else will appreciate this mix? Anyway, this was my contribution to Round 1: one uptempo side, the other on downers. Enjoy!

This is the tape that I made for Bob aka @megametalmixtapeexchange, the first person on Instagram I hooked up with who was running an old school tape exchange program, just like the golden days of tape trading! I was so enthralled with the idea that we decided to set up the @metalpunktapeexchange in Europe with Luc.
As you can see, Bob being American, I decided to make a 100% old & new school French Death/Thrash Metal mix (with two exceptions). This tape could be seen as a little sideways 90-minute introduction to the genre, skipping the usual 'big names' that people usually know when it comes to "Métal de la Mort" (actually no one ever says that here in France, although I kinda wish we did).

Found recently : a bunch of old mixtapes on CDr's that I had burned back in the early days of the 21st century, with a varied range of tunes selected from my trusty, clunky iRiver iHP-140 MP3 player which, at the time, was the ne plus ultra of all music players... before Apple killed the market with their inferior (but better looking) products, haha. Of course the player died with no backup whatsoever and all I have left of these cool compilations are those cheap Memorex discs, and only one out of ten still plays. I suppose one day we will realize all digital stuff (pictures, music, etc) from the early days of the 21st century are gone for good for most people. Do you still have pictures from the time of the first digital cameras? I sure don't. All buried in hard drive crashes, memory losses, unreadable CDr's! (The sound is a bit crappy on this one but I still love this mix!)
Forgive the rambling, here's the tracklist: 01. Control Voice - Signing In 02. Giuseppe de Luca - Rito A Los Angeles 03. Servotron - Rocket Dog 04. Bobby Fuller & The Fanatics - Our Favorite Martian 05. Bobby Hammack Combo - Power House 06. Sheb Wooley - The Purple People Eater 07. Nekromantix - Subcultural Girl 08. The Ran Dells - Martian Hop 09. Ron Grainer - The Prisoner Main Theme 10. Ennio Morricone - Dies Irae Psichedelico 11. Paul Piot & Paul Guiot - Amour, Vacances et Baroque 12. Klaatu - Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft 13. Kool Keith - Sex Style 14. Control Voice - Signing Out |
