Missed this one first time around. Some great choices here! Cheers.
Thanks for listening and for the comment!
Perfect sounds for the recently arrived first days of autumn here. Taking me back to vistas from cross-country trips in Canada. Many thanks for sharing this again. S.
Thanks for the comment! Those sound like ideal listening conditions! I drove across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with my wife and daughter last autumn, so I can visualize well (although you may be thinking of different parts of Canada!).
Great final song for a great listen! So many fascinating songs with fascinating lyrics. I particularly liked the “outsider folk” and the international songs.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's fun to re-visit older mixes. I feel like my tastes are always evolving and like I'm getting more nuanced or disciplined as a mix-maker, but I do feel like the song quality was really there, so I'm happy to re-share them. And thanks for the comment!
I'm working on a new mix now that I'll post in about a month -- I think you'll like it a lot based on what you liked off this mix.
Must give my copy of The Wicker Man a listen soon - cheers for the reminder!:)
Such an inspiring soundtrack!
🤩🤩🤩
J'écoute la musique à Rochefort pendant que je corrigé mon livre. Bonne journée, Victor.
J'adore l'image de ça!
