Boards of Canada The Melancholic Mix

Hello there. As you may or may not know, I have Manic Depression, and in my last mix, I explored the high spirits of Mania with The Manic Mix, a mix full of energetic and upbeat music.

Now, I present to you the opposite end of the spectrum. The Melancholic Mix is all about sadness, with bleak, downtempo music mixed together to create a feeling that speaks to your soul. If you ever feel sad or depressed, and need something to listen to that you can empathize with, this mix is just the thing for you. I've often found that listening to music like this can help a great deal when you're feeling low.

Special thanks to sysyphus, without whom this mix would not be possible.

Well, it's been over a week. Has anyone actually heard this mix yet? Or perhaps there aren't any members here who like sad music?

Downloading it now!

I sure do listen to a lot of sad and melancholic music, and the tracklist looks good!

Wonder how you managed to squeeze Mika in there, but don't know the song so won't judge it til I hear it. ;)

Specially last half is indeed a stellar selection, so look forward to it.

Thanks!

I loved it.
