Episode 3: Roundtrip Flight

North Miami Beach, Florida <-> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

And now for something a little different…

One night, as I was listening to Penobscot Bay and the Voyage of Life, I examined the overall sound of the series and noticed that “alternative rock” was not represented. I wondered how difficult it would be to find tracks that would fit between chilled out ambient electronic music, trip-hop, reggae, and hip-hop. After some searching and serious rearranging of the mixes, I was able to include this mix into the series.

In some ways, this mix represents what I was listening to right out of high school and early college. Until I was blown away by the sound, beats, and grooves from Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and a few other trip-hop groups, I was still listening to a lot of Pearl Jam, Radiohead, and U2, who are still my favorite bands. Though I find myself listening to various types of electronic music rather than the “alternative/classic rock” that I listened to while growing up, I have not forgotten my “roots”.
