Described as an 'international psychedelic mystery mix', this is a great release in mixtape fashion -no tracklisting supplied! - of obscure funky psych-rock from the 60s & 70s. These gems are very rare and very fresh indeed.

Sean, Nate, and Chris are all top notch people too.
Can't wait for the next one.
Of course this lead me to seek out the original Trap Door which is also incredible (though it's tracklist is not as mysterious). The possibility of a potential #3 is tantalizing...is it really in the works?
but it's not really a comp, is it? much more than that. still, i think some comps are just as -or even more- influential than original records: king of the delta blues, ultimate breaks and beats, etc.
i was very late to this one, so i only have a mp3. but it's fucking mind blowing. one of the best mixes i've ever heard.
I would ( and still should) play this for friends when they came over to the house to parte'.
I had a naive girlfriend who thought I was playing the same side over and over because of the spiral black/white label.
"The best is the west" - ( that can't be Jim Morrison saying that is it?, too obvious??)
okem, doesnt mean its better than electric ladyland, it just means it has more relevance to soulstrut lore and culture.
i think i bought about a dozen copies of the vinyl and cds and have given them out over the years to dear friends.
this damn mix has been able to stump soulstrut, tracklisting wise, for half a decade, which is a pretty amazing feet. it moves from real hard sounds, to danefloor movers, to the last few songs which conjure a serene, loner vibe of meditation on justice, peace and place.
in my opinon, trapdoor is a masterpiece
Had no idea there was a trap door mix prior to this! Where/how can I get a copy of that?
Also this is one mix/comp that I've never even attempted or searched for the track listing. Guess I've always just appreciated it for what it is.
Same here. Thanks to my complete ignorance. Was this out on vinyl only or CD as well?
Seeing that we have this mix in the lower ranks of the Top100 I am wondering whether to expect more, like Shadow/CutChemist, ColdCut (JbDJs), Playgroup later on.
I guess I missed the part were it was decided what this list was about. Good to know.
