Random Mini-Reviews Mixtape 1: The Random Session

I guess this was easily predicted upon, considering I mused it over and over on the last Random Mini-Review post. Seriously though, I wasn't sure if I'd go through with it. Do you know how hard it is to take such a random collection of songs and try to make them fit together? Well, sure, if I had a few months and professional studio gear to make do with, I might of turned out another Balance 014 or something. But nay, I've nothing more than a simple MP3 mixer, and a single week of time.

That said, the fun challenge of it is why I bring to you the first edition of Random Mini-Reviews Mixtapes. 50 tunes went in, only 20 made the cut. This isn't necessarily a collection of the best tracks I've mini-reviewed thus far, but rather what I feel makes for the most interesting - and yes, even 'random' - listening experience. The only limitation I placed upon myself was that it could not exceed 90 minutes in length. I cannot deny, there are a few rough crossfades and key clashes; however, there're also sections where it all comes together to form an entertaining set. Take a gander, if you're intrigued.
