#012 Jess - SleepOnTheFloorDreamAboutMe

Do online mix tracks count? I don't see why not, as long as they are publicly available artifacts; if this was a mix Thom Yorke did and it was super popular it would count, and if this was an album by a super tiny band it would count, so we'll be equal opportunity about artist fame, and delivery mechanism too.

Recommended by Nick as some work music, I don't love the way it starts, but its gets really nice and atmospheric around the 7:00 mark, with just enough atonal glitchyness to get itchy in your heart without losing the melodic thread. By the time it gets to Cherry at the halfway mark you're saying, yes, of course, I should have seen that coming - perfect song for this mix. Later appearances by Sigur Ros, Radiohead, BSS (obviously), all fit in as nice pretty cores for glitch and noise trimmings - totally an enjoyable mix, put together with unspectacular but totally sufficient skill - 4/5
