Melancholia - Volume 2

Volume two of my Melancholia mixtape series.

For volume two I also wanted to gather some of my favorite songs but I loosened my criteria as far as the condition of the vinyl source. Naturally the reconstruction here mostly comes from CD but there may be one or two that are sourced from vinyl rips. There is also a more acoustic base to the collection.

This volume was a cleanup of sorts and covered what was missed on the first one due to space limitations or vinyl conditions. This volume initially suffered from the "hoping lightening strikes twice" syndrome. In the end the collection had a charm of its own and was enough to push the series onward.

  2. I haven't decided yet. The new mixes of the Esher demos are amazing to the point that the one song I was unhappy with - George's Sour Milk Sea - can be replaced with the Esher demo as is without the need for the outfake. Circles was improved 100% as well. I'm still listening so the best I can give is a definite maybe.
