Volume 1, Episode 5: High

High. An attempt to fill in the gaps that Aldo Krass once wrote about, this mix is not necessarily one you might expect with that title. It isn't about drugs. It isn't about getting high or getting loaded. Granted, I've been more high this year than not (thank you, dilaudid, vicodin and wine), but it's about what to reach for. It's about filling in the sky with sound. It's about what the heavens would sing if they could. Maybe not that cheesey (for frak's sake, Cut Chemist is on here). Maybe it's just a mix about finding distractions in transcendental entities. Regardless of what you see in it, this is different from the other TFTF mixes: this is seriously lo-fi, exuberantly minimalist in some cases, and quixotically trippy in others. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
