I found these mixes on the web last week and I have been listening to them non-stop. I know BTreotch loves them too as I am beating him to posting this. I wish that I could take credit for them - I cannot - a guy with a really good ear named Justin G. put them together. Here is what he has to say about them:
"This is my end-of-year summary mix of songs released in 2007 that I always make for my friends. I try to make sure all the song volumes are roughly the same and each track starts and ends smoothly. These are 256kbps mp3 files tagged properly for iTunes with album art already embedded."
I think they are brilliant. Each disc has its own vibe and flows easily. I have been listening a lot to disc 2 lately which seems to be the funk disc. I like all of them- I have been turned on to some new music as a result. Check them out!
