-I planned to build A Song in the Blood around a couple of slow and sensuous songs by April Stevens and The Paris Sisters. You know the kind of long forgotten seemingly innocent (not really all that innocent, though) sounding pop-ditties that David Lynch could dig up, use in a scene and forever transform it into a masterpiece of melancholy, desperation and gloom. But this seductive mixtape of mine never materialised.
Instead I kept adding gently intense, ghostly folk tunes, eastern european folksy-pop on the A-side, and sweet girl groups of the far east, playful ye-ye, Bollywood, japanese vocal jazz and allsorts of stuff on the B-side... A trip through the motions and around the world presented by an all female cast. It wasn't meant to be a collection of songs sung by women excusively either. It just turned out that way -Moahaha, September 2014

Thanks Bil! Yes I've noticed I'm adressing Big Sun when Bil appears in older comments. The links for a few of these four-five-six year old mixes has been dead for a while (and I'd actually lost some of them - like this one - myself). I still enjoy these songs and I'm also planning to make an additional two of them (It Welcomes You & Tremblement) available again as well.
