Unlike most of my other mixes from the 90's, this one isn't full of fart noises and screaming. It's a CD-length tribute to Download, stitching together my favorite tracks with some mild editing and a few chunky transitions built in CoolEdit Pro. It never existed on tape, because by the end of the 90's I had a decent CD burner.

So what is Download like? Hmm. Take a thrash metal band from the early 90's and put them on stage. Then, throw a brick at the lead singer, and while he crawls into the wings, shove Edgar Allan Poe up there as a replacement. Give him a barstool and a little side table with a dead rose on it, so he can sit down while he free-forms poetry into the mic.

You're not quite there. While the band is jumping around behind Edgar, gather up all their audio cables. Feed them into the back of a massive keyboard and mixing station. Now, populate the station by summoning THE LORD SATAN HIMSELF to do the mixing and keys.

Replace about half the thrashing audience with skeletons, and tell them to throw bones and grave dirt at the musicians on the stage while they're trying to play. Have them aim to wound.
