Techno Mix
After Melissa died, I got to keep a whole stack of her CDs.
Some of them were so severely scratched that I cannot listen to them, yet I can not bring myself to throw them away. Some of them were integrated seamlessly into my music collection and quickly memorized. And some of them were just as quickly forgotten.
As I converted a huge chunk of my CD collection to MP3s this weekend, I came across some previously forgotten gems that have the name "melissa" written on the front in black sharpie. Whether these CDs were selected from the store by my sister personally or they were 'adopted' into her music collection from a friend's collection mattered not: they have her name on them and thus belonged to her.
I found one CD-R on which was written only, in her handwriting, "Techno Mix." Some of the songs I recognized, but because they have no lyrics per se Google is no help. They remain a mystery to me.
I would love to know what they are.
If you would like to help me identify the songs, or would like to listen to a random techno mix by and/or for my sister, the songs are located in my media directory. I will rename the songs on the server as I know them.

I don't listen to techno as much as I used to, but I'll give it a spin.
As an aside, I don't know what program you're using to rip the CDs, but Exact Audio Copy would be your best choice. It's designed to compensate for scratched/flawed discs, and often it can successfully rip tracks that are unplayable in a normal CD player. Some of those scratched discs might still be redeemable. :)

Well, I didn't recognize any of them. Google says Track 9 is "Everyday Junglist" by Marvellous Cain, but there are several remixes of that one, so it'll be a bit tricky to pin down exactly which one you have. Track 16 appears to be a song called "Queen Electric" written and performed by (believe it or not) Milla Jovovich.
That now makes four of them identified. Thanks, David.
