Ok so the story goes like this… in 1994 I put out (to my closest friends) a Christmas Mixtape that may have gone down in history as one of the strangest compilings of music, samples and noise ever. Although it is my understanding that copies upon copies upon copies have been made by friends of friends, there had been enough requests for another by Y2K that I felt compelled to at least update what had already existed. A call to my sister (for the best existing recording - yeah from cassette), a transfer to digital format a few tweaks and overlays and I made 20 or so 2-CD sets to give away back then. I made another in ’03 but people STILL have been asking for copies of the original, so here ya go.

Here’s the original text that accompanied the ’94 cassette release, AND (for the first time ever) and full track listing of the mish-mash that follows. I hope you enjoy it and Happy Holidays!

=======================

Original text (written in prose and lower case because I was moody like that):

“so… you’re one of the lucky ones. 
You actually recieved one of these christmas tapes. 
listen without prejudice as you wont find your typical mix here.
only ONE mix actual - couldn’t resist.
what you WILL find is an audible collage, 
an emotional representation of atmosphere.
a story telling of how christmas FEELS.
this is how christmas FEELS to ME.
do with it what you will. 
listen to it in the car.
play it at a party.
deficate on it and drop it in a garbage disposal.
more than likely you will NOT like everything on it - but listen once.
thanx in advance for allowing this selfish expresion to take place.
I hope you get something out of it.
merry christmas.
be good to each other.
kev.
