ARCHIVE MIX: NONVERBAL (2002)

This next archive mix takes us all the way back to January 2002. We had started the mixer group in August 2001 and the flood of mixes landing in our mailboxes during that period was very welcome given the news at hand those days. We were already up to Volume 11, and this was actually the "bonus" mix of instrumental music that Michael "The Vault" Herst - the one-time New West employee, had sent along, which featured a couple of unreleased songs (Slobberbone, Radiohead) at that point. With the new tradition of bonus mixes being shipped along with the regular disc, we were already pushing 20 shared mixed not even 6 months into the project. Here are a few quips from Michael regarding Nonverbal:

I had so much fun putting the mix together. My wife is a little sick of listening to it, but she will learn to deal. Mogwai are quickly becoming an all time favorite for me...The Lil Capn Travis album (Lonesome and Losin') is one of the better alt.whatever releases I've heard in some time... And if I'd heard it before I made the disc, the instrumental song Peelin' Out In Zeus' Yard would have been track #1 on nonverbal. It's that cool.
