The more I dug around on the TripHop shelves, the more cool stuff I found ... so Part 2 was inevitable Razz

Once again classics share the mix with newer creations that prove the TripHop sound still has the power to please.... Lamb, St. Etienne, DJ Shadow, Beanfield and a Portishead remix of Paul Weller's Wild Wood are balanced by tracks from Noorda and Index ID. And those William Orbit tracks you heard a million times in 1998 ... don't they sound good now that they've had a rest? Wink

Your comments are welcome, as always....

This one struck me as needing a bit of TPS, so you'll find a new version has replaced the old one.

As for the title of this mix, I'm guessing a few will catch the reference to Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose ... which means, Life is rosy. I guess La Vie en Noir could mean Life is rough.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance !!!

It's crazy, I know, but that V-Love track was totally overlooked by me when I originally bought that Trip Hop Test compilation back in '97 or '98 ... then when I ripped the CD to the hard drive to work on this set, it stood out like a beacon. And that, my friends, is why I never never never get rid of music: You just never know what's going to "ripen up" and become your new favorite track Smile

It's good to know you're feelin' this one, Papa ... Smile

I thought a rework was in order on this one...if you were a fan of this mix, you might enjoy the change as much as I do Smile

What exactly did you re-work??? Was it a track re-arangement thing or removing some tracks altogether?? Smile
