Sonic Landscapes Episode XLII : The Ithaca File (Extended Mix)

(Right click link to download / Click on link to listen–be patient, as the file is large)

The Ithaca File is an approximately 5.5 hour, 79 song continuous mix of a wide variety of music based around the central pillars which unite the multitudinous musical realms of this radio show: music with dimensional character, music that conjures distinct imagery or texture, shifts the listener’s perception of time, or captivates us to reconsider reality. Some of these songs have appeared prior to this mix on various episodes, and therefore, having entered the pantheon of excellent music, deserve a serious second listen / consideration.

This will be the first of a series of four extended mixes released throughout the year that will eventually constitute our definitive sonic manifesto of 2012-2013. The Ithaca File is warm and coherent, a sampler of many different genres from trip-hop to afro-beat to new-wave. I would suggest downloading the episode onto your computer, as the streaming function is quite slow with this large file.
