When a decade passes and you're bound to get some daft articles chronicling what was the best music. When I suggested The Mutation should try one of these lists I was told to do it myself. When I'm not making sure the technical side of this mag is in working  I work as a musician and sound engineer. I've spent the last 10 years doing sound and travelling around with my band's - Stanley Super 800 and the Céilí Allstars - during which time I collected  great  music from others like myself working in  music.

So here are some of the tracks that inspired me most over the  last 10 years. I'll be adding them - 2 or 3 at a time - to the player below over the next few issues. There is a bit of info about each track at the bottom of the page. Enjoy

Episode 1: Play Loud

1. Madtheory - Intergalactic Sci - Fi [2001]
   This is music from Cork based producer/engineer/teacher/composer Tomás Mulcahy and his buddy Ken - not sure what Ken does.. This rocks in with its drum intro inspired by a Beach Boys song - whos name escapes me - and soars off on its intergalactic journey on the vocal. You can get more music and info at madtheory.com
   
   
2. Reese - Dirt [2002]
   This is from an EP released in 2001 called ??? which features two artists from Kilarney.  The track here is by Reese who now goes by the handle of Tinoras. Its a menacing drum & bass track with  loads of tension  and scary growling bits.

3. onemilliontinyjesuses - Unknown [2004?]
   A mysterious stranger handed a CD to my sister at a No Means No gig in Cork. Later the same day she left it in my van where it remained for a few months. I found and played it I was really surprised. Searches on the net at the time didn't yield any info but just as I was writing this I checked again and found their website - onemilliontinytinyjesuses.com.
