Mystery Street (m4a mix)





Crime Jazz from Mars!  Film Noir Science Fiction!  MYSTERY STREET was a 90-minute cassette mix tape I originally compiled way back in 1996.  At the request of a few friends (who enjoyed it so much that they apparently wore out their cassette copies), I've finally gotten around to digitally re-comping it.  I've also condensed it, removing a few tracks so everything will fit on an 80-minute CD.  The "leftovers" are available as "bonus tracks" (see below).  One correction: on the original comp, I erroneously listed Russ Garcia's track as "Frozen Neptune"…the actual title of the piece is "Birth of a Planet."  Special thanks to Jim Blanchard, who came up with a couple of tracks I wasn't able to rustle up myself.  It sure ain't rock 'n' roll…but it could be an appropriate soundtrack for your next visit to the Twilight Zone.
