I made a good one recently... Mostly funk/soul, with pallate cleansing pop and pop-rock for good measure.

I wanted to avoid stuff I had on CD, but stuff I still knew I loved, so I looked at the WNPG playlist, and used a lot of it. I through in quite a few of my own choices for good measure. FYI, there is some great mix stuff in that WNPG playlist! If you want to make a good mix, I highly reccomend you go there for reference if your mind is stuck.

Best part of this compilation is that the end of one song almost always seems to roll into the next one, because I made it so the end drums/bass/guitar were usually similar in sound or tone to the beginning of the next song. Either that, or I ensured there was a good pause before the next song. It worked pretty good.

By 'mixed' do you mean multiple artists?

TRON said:

yeah typcially mixed would be various artists... but post whatever cool CDs you've made, regardless

Okay, I'll find the recent ones I've made.

I used to make mixed artists tapes all the time when I was younger, but have gotten out of the habit once I got into CD burning. They're always exclusive to 1 artist. I should give it a try again though.

Alright, here it goes...pretty wild mix of styles (reggae, funk, psychedelic folk, electro, hiphop, experimental) but I assure you it has a very nice flow and it contains some serious killer tracks. I think I'm going to open a thread about the opening song which for me is THE joint of 2003 - it's an epic reggae/dub/soul blend, very laid back, with gorgeous vocals.
