Omnidirectional

Balanced Records — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:00:34 +0000

Originally recorded in December of 1999, Omnidirectional was a mix which aired the evening of New Years Eve 1999 on UMFM for Lil’ Phil’s radio show. As the name implies, it covers a vast swath of musical territory and features 5 tempo changes (can you spot them all)? The tracks were some of Kasm’s (then Pico) favourite at the time and were recorded with the idea of making a mix which was both timeless and showed the breadth of musical creativity at the time.
