Music To Spy By Volume 1 / Bachelor Pad MiX

, ,



Whether you are 007, Sam Spade, Matt Helm, Maxwell Smart or Valerie Plame...you need Music To Spy By. Via the Cold War, the '50's & '60's movie screens were filled with spy and secret agent movies too numerous to count. Ian Flemmings, James Bond, started the whole thing off in written form and turned the character into a motion picture franchise unmatched today. Every motion picture and TV show had to have the "Crime Sound" to bring the needed tension and edge to the screen.

Even if you don't spy for the FBI you need some crime jazz for any operation. This 76 minute mix covers the genre with samples from Bernstein and Mays orchestra brass, to the surf guitar of the Viscounts and everything in between. Les Baxter and Martin Denny show us the exotic side of spying and Ray Anthony offers up the longest Peter Gunn known to man.

Don't be left out in the cold, get some music to spy by! It's MiXed not stirred!

Thank you again.
(?Valerie Plame?)Didn't know she already got a recording deal.

dax, No problem at all. The attached .cue file is there to id the track times. If you look in the side bar under tools you will see the word Burrrn. This is a free program that you can dl and use it to create audio cd's using .cue files. Once you have the program installed, drag the .cue file from any of the mixes right into the program, insert a cd and click Burrn and bingo you will have a cd with the tracks seperated out instead of just one big file.

I have tried to find a way of providing the seperated tracks up front but the quality of the mix suffers too much without doing it with .cue files. Yes you have to do some of the work here but it is easy and I have, believe me, done the hard part. I think the result doing it this way and having a "MiXed" offering is far superior sounding than me just throwing up .mp3 files in a folder. The bit rate is altered and the sound or gain is evened out to the best of my ability to give a professional MiX of around 80 minutes. Some folks have complained about not getting the individual .mp3 files...and I don't want to sound pretenious but, I consider what is done here as "art". Timborado Da Vinci I am! Ha Ha Ha

I have included a .cue file in each of the downloads and be sure that you keep all of the files in the same folder and named exactly like they are or the process will not work. These .cue files are only for the MiXes. Not needed for the album rips.

If you want to see what a .cue file looks like change the .cue to .txt and have a peek. But make sure you change it back to .cue to use.

In the early stages I did not know about .cue files and have included them in the tools section under guess what "Cue Files". It is a small package and has all of the missing files up to the point I started including them.

One last thing. Some players and programs use .cue files. If you want more detailed info on this go here.
