A mix of music which consists mostly of actual listenable songs, with words and everything. One can click on the "read more" thing to get the tracklist. People using iTunes will have to install this, if they haven't got it already, in order to listen to the ogg- and flac-encoded tracks.
1. Barbez - The Picnic
2. Henry Cow & Slapp Happy - War
3. Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird - Die Ballade von der Judenhure Marie Sanders
4. Uri Caine - Symphony 2, Resurrection/Primal Light
5. Andy Statman & Zev Feldman - Alimeinem
6. Bohren & der Club of Gore - Kleiner Finger
7. Heiner Goebbels - Über den Selbstmord
8. Gena Rowlands Band - The Body Wants More Than Skin
9. Scott Walker - The Patriot
10. Ute Lemper - Scope J
11. Art Bears - Pirate Song
12. Barbez w/ Nils Frykdahl - Tango Ballade
13. Tom Waits - Strange Weather
14. Tiger Lillies - Dead Souls
(Ordinarily I would consider it a great sin to include two tracks by the same band, and would feel twinges at the other crossovers—viz. Dagmar Krause, Chris Cutler, and Fred Frith being in both the Slapp Happy/Henry Cow collab and the Art Bears, and Scott Walker providing words and music for both himself and Ute Lemper—but in this case I'm willing to overlook these things.)
Thanks, wolfson. 3, 5, 7, 13 did not expand. I also got an error with the Smooth Jazz mix. Did anyone else (Mac-stuffit) report problems?

No one has though I suspect windows users will be stymied by the colon in track four's path. (Turns out there's also a colon in one of the filenames in the jazz mix.) Maybe try using the unzip binary from the terminal?

See, now you're asking me to know how to use my computer.
