Another one of my three letter mixtapes. This pick is all around the 140-150 bpm range. Seems pretty fast sometimes. But a few don't seem as fast as the others. The songs go from new wave to dub. A couple are fairly well known tracks and some are fairly well known artists with deeper cuts or weird remixes. Human League, Eurythmics, Front 242 and Depeche Mode are telling you these aren't our mainstream mixes. The Flying Lizards are better known for their robotic vocal type songs, but I like their lesser known dub album. It's got some cool tracks on it, including this one. Monaco and Klark Kent might bring up comparisons to New Order and the Police and for good reason. They are part of the family picks for those bands. And btw, the title has nothing to do with an insurance company.

This looks awesome. Thanks, Pol. BTW, I think we have lived somewhat parallel lives, based on some of your past comments. Didn't you go to UCB?
