"The title is an obvious reference to the song "time travel" by the band blouse. Here though it is taken out of context and used as a reference to the current state of the music industry. Everything has gone digital, whether an iTunes download or a stream from a cloud somewhere but people are missing what's tangible. They miss liner notes, they miss artwork, they miss making mixes for their friends (whether on CD or cassette). Therefore people are gravitating more towards vinyl and even cassette. That being said, I wanted to merge the two worlds. I wanted to give the illusion of something tangible even though this will be heard on soundcloud or some form of digital music player. in the middle of the mix you can hear someone flipping the tape over. Even the first track has a warble to it as if it were recorded onto tape and then stored in a closet somewhere for decades. The opening track is from the 60's even, thus solidifying that illusion and telling a story without explaining verbatim. by the second track the warble blends in with the clarity of digital. But the tape hiss can be heard throughout the entirety of the mix. Even though some of these tracks may be new to listeners, I wanted to give them a familiarity. And for posterity I should note that none of the music on the mix was ever actually recorded to tape. It is all fabricated. an experiment in juxtaposition. 
enjoy.
