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).

Black Mass Beats: Musical Meanderings Vol. 2 (2009)

Another eclectic mix salvaged from a decade-old (and decaying) CDr, with art 'borrowed' from Coven's debut album. From the look of it, it seems I had just discovered the warp text function on Photoshop. Hope the sound on this one is correct! I still love that no-fucks-given tracklist, from Impaled Nazarene to Dean Martin, which sums up my "musical meanderings" then and now.

Tracklist:

01. Impaled Nazarene - Apolokia (Intro)
02. Johnny Jones & The King Casuals - Purple Haze
03. 5 6 7 8's - Hey Hey, Ha Ha!
04. 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Celebrate Your Mother
05. Stella - L'idole des jaunes
06. Jean-Pierre Mirouze - Sexopolis
07. The Shangri-Las - Leader Of The Pack
08. Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage
09. "I pray..." (skit)
10. Sixto Rodriguez - Sugarman
11. The Dresden Dolls - Coin-Operated Boy
12. Devo - (I Can"t Get No) Satisfaction
13. "Delusions of some kind..." (skit)
14. Eric Burdon - House Of The Rising Sun
15. Incredible Bongo Band - Apache
16. James Brown - Sexy, Sexy, Sexy
17. Turquoise - Tales Of Flossie Fillett
18. Fumie Hosokawa - Poupée de cire poupée de son
19. Dog Fashion Disco - Moonlight City Drive
20. Bernard Herrmann - Taxi Driver Main Title
21. Gnarls Barkley - Just A Thought
22. Dinah Washington - What A Difference A Day Makes
23. Dean Martin - You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
24. Coven - Satanic Mass

Halloweenie 2 (2020)

Picture
A few years ago, only 5 copies were made of Halloweenie Vol. 1, the first installment in this series of more-or-less horror-themed tunes, you guessed it, right on cue for All Hallow's Eve. Unfortunately, I didn't find the time this year to make a physical recording, so instead I will put a download link to record+print your own tape as you see fit. You can also listen to it online below, up to you!
As always with my mixes, you can expect a 100% freeform association of bands/musicians/horror movie soundtracks... which should fit nicely on a C60 cassette tape.

Tracklist:

01. Ennio Morricone - The Thing OST - Bestiality
02. Steve Sylvester - The Shape Of Things To Come (Mann/Weil cover)
03. The Bomboras - Beyond The Sound Of Time
04. Eddie Warner Conceptions - Beat It
05. Rob - Fourteen Metal
06. Deceased - Fearless Undead Machines
07. Goblin - Dawn Of The Dead OST - Edge Of Madness
08. Pinkish Black - Concept Unification
09. The Five Blobs - The Blob
10. The Hookers - Tear You Apart
11. Jay Chattaway - Maniac OST - Subway Terror
12. Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind - The Shining OST - Main Title
13. Vanilla Fudge - Season Of The Witch Pt. 2 (Donovan cover)
14. King Diamond - The Poltergeist
15. Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes - Thème en bref
16. Tobacco - Streaker (ft. Notrabel)
17. Repulsion - Slaughter Of The Innocent
18. John Williams - Jaws OST - Main Title
19. Purple Sun - Dooms Day
20. Buddy Lackey - Just Like A Timepiece
21. Fred Myrow & Malcolm Seagrave - Phantasm OST - Overturned Icecream Truck//

Anachronistic: More Music From The Bizarro Collection (2004)

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
