Mojo Magazine: OK_Computer Mix CD - Rare Compilation of Electronic Gems

Description: Mojo Presents- Ok_computer Discover a curated selection of electronic and experimental tracks with this Mojo: OK_Computer Mix CD. This rare compilation, distributed exclusively by Mojo Magazine in February 2009, features a diverse array of artists and sounds that capture the innovative spirit of the genre.In the grand tradition of mixtapes and compilations that seek to capture the zeitgeist of an era or movement, Mojo Magazine's "OK_Computer" arrives like a ghost in the machine, a spectral presence haunting the circuits of our collective musical consciousness. This is not merely a collection of songs; it's a séance, summoning the spirits of electronic music's past, present, and future.The journey begins with The Human League's "Circus of Death," a fitting portal into this uncanny valley of sound. It's as if Philip Oakey and company are the carnival barkers, inviting us into a funhouse where the mirrors don't just distort, they deconstruct. Gary Numan follows, his "Down in the Park" serving as a stark reminder that the future we once imagined is now our dystopian present.As we delve deeper, The Knife's "Silent Shout" emerges like a digital banshee, its vocals pitched and warped until they barely resemble anything human. This is the sound of identity dissolving in the face of technology, a theme that echoes throughout the compilation.The inclusion of Arthur Russell's "Place I Know/Kid Like You" is a masterstroke. Russell, that poet laureate of disco's outer limits, provides a moment of analog warmth in this sea of silicon. His cello and murmured vocals are like a life raft in a storm of ones and zeros.But make no mistake, this compilation is not interested in comfort. Tracks like Xela's "Afraid of Monsters" and Severed Heads' "Dead Eyes Opened" plunge us into the uncanny, the latter's samples of a news report about a corpse reanimating serving as a metaphor for the whole enterprise. This is music that has died and come back changed, resurrected by circuits and electricity.The inclusion of Tangerine Dream's "Rubycon (Part One)" is a nod to the godfathers of electronic ambient, a reminder that before the glitch and the beat, there was the drone and the dream. It's followed by Clouddead's "Dead Dogs Two (Boards of Canada Remix)," a collision of hip-hop abstraction and pastoral electronica that feels like a transmission from a parallel universe where genres never calcified.As we approach the end, Farley Jackmaster Funk's "The Acid Life" injects a shot of Chicago house, a reminder of the body in this ghostly machine. The compilation closes with The Sounds of Tomorrow's "Space Child," a fitting denouement that leaves us wondering: in this brave new world of sound, who are the adults and who are the children?"OK_Computer" is more than a compilation; it's a statement. In curating this collection, Mojo Magazine has created a narrative of electronic music that is both historical and deeply personal. It's a reminder that in the realm of synthesizers and samplers, the past is never dead. It's not even past. It's been digitized, quantized, and set to a beat that echoes through time.This is not a compilation for the faint of heart or the casual listener. It demands engagement, rewards repeat listens, and ultimately leaves us questioning the nature of music itself in our increasingly digital age. Is this the sound of humanity's integration with technology, or the soundtrack to our obsolescence? The answer, like the best electronic music, remains gloriously ambiguous.Features: Title: OK_ComputerFormat: CDCompilation By: Mojo MagazineCondition: Very good with minor wear on the case, disc in excellent conditionTrack Listing:The Human League - Circus of DeathGary Numan/Tubeway Army - Down in the ParkThe Knife - Silent ShoutFujiya & Miyagi - Ankle InjuriesMatthew Dear - Fleece on BrainJohn Foxx - Burning CarArthur Russell - Place I Know/Kid Like YouXela - Afraid of MonstersTangerine Dream - Rubycon (Part One)Clouddead - Dead Dogs Two (Boards of Canada Remix)Severed Heads - Dead Eyes OpenedFarley Jackmaster Funk - The Acid LifeThe Peppers - Pepper BoxThe Gentle Rain - Plastic ManThe Sounds of Tomorrow - Space ChildWhy You'll Love It: Unique Compilation: This CD features an eclectic mix of tracks from renowned electronic and experimental artists, making it a unique addition to any music collection.Exclusive Release: Originally given away with Mojo Magazine, this CD is a rare find and not sold separately.Diverse Artists: From the pioneering sounds of The Human League to the ambient textures of Boards of Canada, this compilation covers a wide spectrum of electronic music.Perfect For: Electronic Music EnthusiastsCollectors of Rare CDsFans of Mojo MagazineAnyone looking to explore a diverse range of electronic soundsAdd this rare Mojo: OK_Computer Mix CD to your collection and enjoy a journey through some of the most innovative and influential tracks in electronic music.
