whitelily psych mix track id

I was recently skating away on the river that is Whitelily's number-one-competition-is-none Bottom Of The Universe mix cd from a few years back, and was reminded of a track therein that I been wanting to know:On Track 18, around the 1:55 mark, just after the Mamas and Papas "Strange Young Girls," there creeps in a darkly swinging vocal, like,Have you ever been here before?Or can't you be sure?'Cause life, you've found,has your mind going'round and 'round???Do you find yourself wanting morethan you had before?[something] has shown you a rainbow...The whole thing is periodically punctuated by a little fuzz riff not unlike Gran Am's "Get High," and then after another verse or so, there's this beautiful, insistent brass refrain that pulls back for a restrained chamber-disco groove based on strings and vibes and some hand percussion, over which a kinda West-Indian-inflected male voice intones spacily and solemnly about "Children of the sun / gaze into your mind...Shine on???Shine???"Does anyone know what song that might be? Thanks in advance.james

    A long time ago, someone mentioned a Fleetwood Mac tune on this mix as well, which I've been trying to remember. The original post must have gone in one of the crashes. Any ideas, people?

    Don't have the mix handy, but if I remember correctly, the first track on the mix is the Fleetwood Mac one.

  • i never got this and WL seems to have disappeared off SS. Anyone have a copy of this?

    My condolences. If you've gotta lose that particular mix, though, that's probably the right way to do it.

    b) l**y doesn't post here anymore
    I think she does, although very infrequently, and under a different name (*****y*****e?). In any event, her absence is definitely felt. The shit she wrote when her mix first came out--something about how it was the "sound of thoughts inside the heads of metal giants" or some such thing--was gorgeous; I wish it was still around somewhere.


    BUMOUT
    I was in a car-rental jernt not too long ago, and across the waiting area was a recently returned, still-camo'ed-up army dude bumping some T.I. on his Coby. The avuncular guy next to him was making conversation, asking him what he did over in Iraq, and so on and so on, including what kind of weaponry he dealt with. The army dude mentioned the specific kind of rifle he carried, and the other guy asked, "Really? What's the range on something like that?" Army guy answered, "Oh, about fourteen blocks."

    this mix is the shit and the cover art is focused beyond belief

    Heya, I've not heard this mix. In fact I've only recently stumbled on this board. But the song you're looking for sounds like Mandrill's Children of the sun.

    Is there any chance of anyone posting this? I've never heard it and everytime it gets a mention everyone goes all

    Thanks very much, licks (and welcome)--after some googling, it appears that that is in fact the jernt (off of one of the, like, two Mandrill albums I don't own, of course). I knew that shit sounded not-expensive, and now I???m kicking myself for not recognizing that good ol??? ???Coffee??? Cave corn (???Children of de sahhhhnnn...???).

    And not to rub saltwater in the wounds of the non-knowing, but I've got to exponentially second what Brian said: This mix is sui generis, unfuckwithable, and as fathomless as the day is long. It's on the ever-shortening list of shit that I listen to every once in a while--even if it???s sunny outside and all is well and I'm working on this Orangina here and I really don???t fuckin??? feel like listening to anything that dark and lovely--just to gauge where I'm at. The heart is a muscle, you know? When you're tired of this mix, you're tired of life.

    And a note to Blighty and whoever else hasn???t heard it yet but wants to: This mix will not--I repeat, will not--split your wig and/or melt your face. Its merits will not be immediately apparent (my first thought upon hearing it was ???Wow, this is very...long???), and it will not reward The Missouri Listen (???Show me!???). Despite the big talk, please do not expect it to gut you like a blunt and reconstruct your design. Rather, it is the grass--let it work.

  • The heart is a muscle, you know? When you're tired of this mix, you're tired of life.

    ok, that's it - i cant take it anymore! i really want to hear this too. Most constistenly repped mix on the strut for a few years now... please to hook me up!

    My first listen was on a typical winter day in Portland, i.e. cold, overcast and pouring rain. Lily's mix couldn't have been a more perfect soundtrack to that specific morning.

  • Please to post this in Real Headz. Sounds like a lot of y'all have it. Thanks!

    That's so funny because - not my first listen, but my first moment - was on a California beach with the sun beating down and kids and dogs playing and it also sounded just right, but in a very melancholy way.

    Oh, I believe it. I was speaking more to the folks that have read all the praise and subsequently expect that said mix will be some acid-drenched beast that will grab them by the throat and lock them in the deep, dark, sub-compact trunk of their own soul or something. I should have said that its full merits will not be immeidately apparent. Because as perfect a soundtrack as it may have been that first time, I'll bet you a dollar that you're still getting to the bottom of it. I know I am.

    If someone can yousendit.com me this then I'll put it on my webspace and shove a link up. I can get anything off Rapidshare due to my ISP giving 1000 people the same ISP number.

    been wanting to hear this for ages. even set up a deal with rillytruffflez only to have something go wrong in the end (i think it was the fact that i was in canada)/// could someone reup this onto something that is not way shady like rapidshare? they only wanna give me 9megs. i just have good feelings about this mix, like it will be somewhat lifechanging

    I've got it now thanks to On_the_Red_Clay (and twoply too). It's being uploaded now but it will be a while due to the 10kb upload cap I get from my ISP. If you're in the UK NEVER use NTL.
