What do we have for you at Psychic Tuesday this week? Why, it's a colossal, congenial cacophony of early "computer" compositions by non other than Chris Stewart!
Listening to this mix makes me remember how strange and silly and foreign the idea of computers seemed to me back in the 1980's and even the early '90's ... The idea of their existence was in my head, but I only equated them with music and video games. Little did we know that computers would some day be an integral part of our everyday lives!
About the mix ... it's creator, Chris says =
"This highly energized mix will blow your fuses. Lots of early synths and dance beats and robot voices. Great for parties and working hard."
You can check out his amazing artwork on his blog, "typeitasoneword".
Thanks again for another fantastic audio experience, Chris!
And now ... get ready for a mega menagerie of magical and mechanical moments =
You may download the mix HERE.
Chris posted a crazy video for Bill Nelson's "Do You Dream In Colour?" which makes an "appearance" on the mix ... ENJOY! =
