Collapse Color Into Slivers Of Teak

When the music begins, you will be transformed into a .wav of sound-bit, color-fused, alternate reality, and the cloud of distortion will collapse color into slivers of Teak, only to awaken once the music has stopped.

Collapse Color Into Slivers Of Teak Track Listing:

    1.    (0:00:25) Kings Of Leon: CLOSER - Wicked opening track to their latest Only By The Night LP.  I'm not a diehard fan, but I respect the fact that with each release, this band led by the trio of Followill brothers, put forth new efforts in new directions.  Album is produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King.  Petraglia has produced their records in the past, while King was brought on to have a new perspective.  He has produced the likes of Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Mute Math, Switchfoot, as well as No Doubt.
    2.    (0:04:12) Aceyalone, Busdriver, Longevity, Nga Fish: ENTER THE KAOS - from the Project Blowed 10th Anniversary album.  Acey & Busdriver rip it up on the off-kelter rap format.  
    3.    (0:05:58) Bjork feat. Thom Yorke: NATTURA - First single off Bjork's forthcoming LP.  She's one of the few that can ask Thom Yorke to join her on a record, now for the second time, and here you can hear his moaning in echo in sections on this track.  This single was released to help the Icelandic environment, which the proceeds will go to Nattura Foundation.  
    4.    (0:09:04) Radiohead: WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN (THE SKY IS FALLING IN) - It's only natural to fade into Radiohead from here.  This from their mixed-bag LP, Hail To The Theif, using all styles from previous releases.  This happens to be one of my all-time favorite tracks by this brilliant group.  This song was apparently dedicated to Jeanne Loriod, a pioneer of the Ondes instrument, which widget-guru Jonny Greenwood features on this track, amongst many others.  Mr. Yorke and the other cast of Radiohead have been putting together a series of adverts with similar soundscapes to help convey particular messages.
    5.    (0:13:18) Pink Floyd: SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN - This is from one of my personal radio host favorites, John Peel, who passed away a few years back.  He was the king at mixing the craziest music together jumping from hardcore punk rock to electronica to classic rock to whatever he felt like listening to at that moment, and it created this beautifully organized mess.  This is a live performance of The Floyd in John Peel's BBC studio.  
    6.    (0:18:14) Sole (with lyrics by Pedestrian): SLOW, COLD, DROPS - Anticon classic, from Sole's Selling Live Water LP.  Fellow Anticon writing guru, Pedestrian, wrote these great lyrics for Sole while they toured together.  The lyrics represent a 3rd party perspective of the artist the music was intended for.  Quite clever.  
    7.    (0:21:54) Nirvana: SOMETHING IN THE WAY - One of my favorite tracks by this iconic 90s grunge band from Seattle.  Nevermind sold an estimated 26 million copies.  
    8.    (0:25:18) Trentemoller: MOAN - Another track from this Danish electronic musician.
    9.    (0:30:31) Anthony & The Johnsons: SHAKE THAT DEVIL - Mercury Prize winning artist and band release this gem on their Another World EP before releasing their forthcoming LP around February or so.  I saw them at Carnegie Hall a few years back after they received the Mercury, and was pleasantly surprised by the performance and the absolutely amazing voice this person has.  Anthony has rightfully received much due respect.   
    10.    (0:35:32) Portishead: NYLON SMILE - Another track from their highly acclaimed Third LP released last year.  Their reunion was one of the most anticipated, but unlike most reunions, this was far from a letdown, receiving most critics' choice as top album of the year.  
    11.    (0:38:42) TV On The Radio: SHOUT ME OUT - Another brilliant track from their largely successful LP, Dear Science.  I have to say, I am quite impressed at the longevity of this Brooklyn band.  Love the build up and crescendo on this track - the music and lyrics are perfect.  Unlike Interpol, they have pushed into new territory with their music and have kept it interesting and mature from LP to LP (Interpol are decent, but have not proven a wide range of movement or evolution in their music or sound).  
    12.    (0:42:38) Alien Nation: BENEATH THE SURFACE - Another Project Blowed production from another PB compilation.  The second verse by Phoenix Orion (Zoundwavez) is a witty listing of those Project Blowedians represented on this compilation.
    13.    (0:46:30) Neptune: SOUL PRIDE - Wicked track from Ninja Tune's Xen Cuts compilation.  My only info on this group/DJ is this song only.  
    14.    (0:52:51) Zion I: LET ME HOLLA - from their very successful Deep Water Slang 2.0 LP.  AmpLive, the producer/DJ, is one of the most diverse and well-rounded producers in the underground.  He can create a perfect pop structure song from scratch as well or better than Timbaland or other big-named commercial producers.
    15.    (0:57:20) Booka Shade: KARMA CAR (ALBUM VERSION) - Another track from their The  Sun & The Neon Light LP.  Love these guys.
    16.    (1:00:59) M.I.A.: BAMBOO BANGA - wicked opener to her massively successful Kala record.  She definitely proved that she doesn't need her ex-boyfriend/producer, Diplo, to create catchy, poppy, party-hoppin' music.
    17.    (1:05:39) Virginia: RAINBOWS (MORE ROCKERS REMIX) - ahh, another straight jack move from Smith & Mighty's DJ Kicks mix.  Smith & Mighty are one of my favorite electronica/jungle groups out there.
    18.    (1:09:21) Neon Neon feat. Spank Rock & Sean Tillmann: TRICK FOR TREAT - Collaborative project from one of my favorite hip hop producers, Boom Bip, and Gruff Rhys, who is the frontman for Super Furry Animals.  This record was nominated for a UK Mercury Prize, and features hip hop powerhouse, Spank Rock.
