Why the missing mix? Why, because I was missing! On this particular Friday I had abandoned my co-workers for an Arts conference, and so in my absence they decided that "missing" would be my inspiration for the week. At first it seemed daunting, then I realized that there were lots of songs about missing people, then I remembered that I don't like those songs, then I struggled. In the beginning I came up with a lot of goofy rap songs ("I missed the Bus", I Left my Wallet in El Segundo", "Tune From the Missing Channel"), but when I heard Chris Clark's song "Absence", I knew I needed to find songs that complemented this amazing track. It wasn't until the night before that I realized I could use untitled tracks because they were missing titles, and so the mix was beefed up with a classic song from Gas' Pop album, and some dancefloor glitch from Saskatoon (Knar).
This is a much warmer electronic mix than the Silence mix of two rotations back, mainly because most of these characters are using real instrumentation as their source (even Oval now!). This is also the first mix where every track came from my existing collection (with the exception of the Clark track):
01 Marc Bolan - Untitled Poem
02 Fennesz - Herbert Missing
03 Odd Nosdam - Untitled One
04 Piano Overlord - You stole my stereo outro
05 Dylan Group - An Indolent Appreciation of What You Left Behind
06 Secret Mommy - Surgery (Medieval Rural Denture Rmx) by Piers Whyte
07 Knar - untitled (knar’s pop quiz theme)
08 Christopher Willits - order (no blueprint)
09 Oval - Emocor
10 blunderspublik - glimse
11 F.S. Blumm - Ohne Orte
12 Savath y Savalas - Untitled
13 The Books - Motherless Bastard
14 Clark - Absence
15 Gas - Untitled #01
16 Tujiko Noriko - Endless End
