A New Bleeding Panda Compilation!

Hey guys:) Thank you so so much for all the love and support. I still can't totally give up on sharing music I adore so here it is - a sequel to my most popular comp - Naked Runners. 

Compared to the first one it has much less funk and jazz but more psych and covers more countries. It was impossible to follow the first volume as it was made a whiiile back so I sat down and made it from scratch, without trying to continue the same story. Two of my favorite songs are on this volume - the spectacularly surreal and positive Angelo Branduardi's The Song of Eternal Numbers (please read these beautiful absurd lyrics while listening the song) and my officially favorite instrumental - the gorgeous Grace Jones La Vie En Rose Instrumental.

It was a huge pleasure making this one as each of these songs is a fragment of something I've been listening for the past 3 years. There is a possibility that I make more comps and if I do they will all follow this logic - I will not post new, trendy music but try to compile music that I really wanted to post on the blog over the years.

I do hope you will enjoy this selection and be sure to come back and comment - I wan't your opinions:) Also, upload it yourselves if you will I don't care, just share it if you like it. I will try and upload it on more services.

A Bleeding Panda Compilation!

Why?

I've been meaning to finish this one ever since the HD Computer Music comp. This one is brimming with "stuck in 80's" funk-disco classics, a few mega icky childish pop tracks (Scritti Politti anyone?) and as always some lost or faded gems (Tarzan The Breakman, Ja Ready To Rock, Gettin' Loose). Also, the highlight here is most definitely one of the dopest disco-funk tracks of the 1980's: Tee's Happy (Tee Scott Club Mix), a gorgeous paradise of rhythm machinery and heart ripping guitar and synth work.

Tracklist

01 D-Train - You're The One For Me (1982)

02 Hot Streak - Body Work (1983)

03 Freestyle - Fly Freestyle (Instrumental Version Excerpt) (1984)

What
Quite a chaotic selection - I am sure many of you who take music too seriously will be immensely irritated by some tracks here. In short, this is a pile of dance-nerd-rave-core tracks for butt-shaking. I really didn't know how to name the compilation so I just typed in some nice stuff as you can see.

I had a rather sad discovery a month ago - I flipped out on a Japanese born techno-nerdcore artist imoutoid. After a few clicks I found out that he suddenly died from heart failure in 2009 (he was only 18 years old). There is not much information about him except some message board comments, a letter from his father and a bunch of pages that get messed up when you translate them with Google translate. Pay attention to his cover of the gorgeous Apex Twin song 4 (get it here) called HanaHazu*James!! OP "SoAi? 4Seasons" - shit, how do you pronounce that? There are some links on him here: http://dis.4chan.org/read/music/1244209724 and also check him out on youtube.

I really wanted to include at least one happy hardcore track on this compilation but after listening for several days to some multiple CDs "Hardcore Anthems" or whatever I found out that that's not my thing. I managed to cut out and rearrange a 1,5 min clip from an artist Gammer - a rather solid rave bang but that's it - I am not going back to that.
Anyways, some excellent fresh artists are here and I will be posting more quick comps like this very soon so stay tuned.

Tracklist:
01 Grandmaster Flash - Intro (2002)
02 imoutoid - Motteke! Sailor Fuku (imoutoid's FF6 Remix) (2007)
03 Captain Ahab - Girls Gone Wild (2006)

Out Run:

For some time now I wanted to make a nerdy tribute to one of the greatest arcade games of my childhood - the glorious 1986 Out Run by Sega. I too have lost tons of pocket money trying to beat the #1 record set by some mysterious local kid but I never really made it (I was either a shitty player or didn't carry around enough cash for coins). Anyway - for those who didn't play it or have a vague memory: Out Run was and still is considered to be one of the breaking points in arcade game history. It had supreme, smooth fake 3D graphics and a great FPS so you could actually feel the speed. It had a killer soundtrack with a revolutionary twist: you could choose a song you wanted to listen while driving (a concept obviously taken for the GTA series years later). Now, today this sounds like blah, but at that time - this was really, really important and really, really awesome + this was not the only choice a player could make. While driving through luxurious, detailed European scenery, you could choose different paths at predefined crossroads. Some paths were difficult while some were easier - this is the first time players could slightly feel "freedom of choice" which is mostly why this game is so praised (also, the blond in the Ferrari Testarossa added some pluses)."At least part of Out Run's huge success was down to it capturing the fun-yet-superficial spirit of the 1980s. Previous racing games had concentrated on the more serious side of racing, with the action usually taking place in a Formula One racing car, over a series of competent but uninspiring racing tracks. Out Run was different; in a decade that celebrated style over content, the game offered players the ultimate boy racer experience by putting them behind the wheel of that eighties icon of cool, a red Ferrari Testarossa; replete with a 'blonde bimbo' in the passenger seat."

Why no Testarossa?
I know someone who knows the subject would ask so I am answering in advance: I didn't post Kavinsky's Testarossa track in this selection because I posted it already in one of my worst compilations so instead I inserted a goofy intro from the EP that really sits well here. Many critics (including the obnoxious Pitchfork sponges that dismissed the 1986 EP because it wasn't trendy and indie enough) have completely missed to notice that a few of Kavinsky's tracks are a goddamn DIRECT HOMAGE to this very game. Ok, the entire EP is not great but just the fact that at a time when everybody was farting in torture of being the indiest band on Pitchfork's homepage, a nerdy French dude was having lots of fun producing romantic Miami Vice/Out Run music makes me say YES! I go with the nerdy French dude.In general
The kitschy selection is a mix of early italo-disco tunes, a few romantic Moog moments and some fresher songs heavily influenced by 80's sound. Many of tracks are (or were) very popular club hits at some point but got lost or were simply to stupid & too 80's to last long. Since most of the older tracks were of really shabby quality I had to unskillfully "remaster" them ha HA! I used a VST plugin called Izotope Ozone which I highly recommend (can be easily found). Since I am quite unfamiliar with mastering I just browsed through a ton of presets and chose the ones I though sounded the best?! This is my first time in using shit like this and I hope your ears don't suffer too much.

Enjoy and I will see you in October - I am taking a sunny vacation in Lisbon::::-)
