"The Main Street Electrical Parade" - Don Dorsey (Disney) [1977]
| I got into a major Disney kick this past year. The Tiki Room music and the Main Street Electrical Parade were played a lot. |

"Forgive Me" - Infected Mushroom [Vicious Delicious] [2007]
| These guys really know how to use a vocoder. Great track too. In general, I got into "psytrance" a lot, so I got introduced to these guys. |

"Taschenrechner" - Kraftwerk [The Mix (Deutsche Version)] [1991]
| The Kraftwerk remasters came out this past year. I've listened to "The Mix" (english) more times than I can count. The German version is excellent. |

"Dentaku" - Kraftwerk [The Mix (Deutsche Version)] [1991]
| (included for completeness.) |

"That Beep" - Architecture In Helsinki [That Beep] [2009]
| A great song from a band I hadn't heard of before. Their other stuff is a lot more experimental-folkey stuff than this song, which is quite catchy and poppy. |

"Bubblicious" - Rex The Dog [Bubblicious] [2008]
| A very catchy electronic tune with a sample of Allison Moyet singing "Midnight" from Yaz. The video for this song is really cute. Search for it. |

"Nobody Knows (part 1)" - Zoot Woman [Living In A Magazine] [2001]
| I was introduced to this song from an electroclash compilation. I finally found more stuff by them, and sadly don't like it nearly as much as this song. |

"A Cause Des Garcons" - Yelle [Pop Out] [2007]
| There were two albums I was addicted to this year. Yelle's was one of them. I did search for translations, so I know what she's singing about. There's another song by her on a planned upcoming podcast too. |

"Das Spiegel" - Chemical Brothers [We Are The Night] [2007]
| Heard this on the radio, and it was so weird and interesting, I had to snag it. I should retroactively add it to episode 33. |

"Osoy" - Mark Mothersbaugh [Muzik For Insomniaks Volume 1] [1988]
| Snagged this MM album and felt it needed to be represented here. :) |

"Memory Gongs" - Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd [The Moon And The Melodies] [1986]
| One of the few albums I listen to when I can't think of anything else to listen to is A Brief History Of Ambient Volume 1, which contains an alternate version of this track (Flowered Knife Shadows). Pam loves Cocteau Twins, and I felt it was my obligation to track this down and get it. |

"The Elevator - The UN - Information Desk" - Bernard Hermann [North By Northwest Soundtrack] [1959]
| Excellent work music for me. It also makes for great driving music. It makes a trip down the street much more dramatic! |

"Overture" - Bernard Hermann [North By Northwest Soundtrack] [1959]
| It felt necessary to finish up the NBNW set with this. |

"Water Music I" - Robert Fripp [Exposure (3rd edition)] [1979]
| A sort of extended intro for the next track... |
|
|

"Here Comes The Flood" - Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel [Exposure (3rd edition)] [1979]
| I know and love Peter Gabriel's second album. When I read that it was a part of a Robert Fripp trilogy, I snagged the other two albums, and now listen to them all in the context of eachother. This album and Daryl Hall's first album are the other two in the trilogy. |

"In My Life" - The Beatles [Rubber Soul] [1965]
| The Beatles remasters came out in September in Mono and Stereo. They really sound excellent. I included one of my favorite Beatles tunes to end this out. |

"Along Comes A Woman" - Chicago [Chicago 17] [1984]
| I've always loved this song . I finally bought this album this past year, and I was addicted to this song for a few weeks. |
|

"Fade Away" - TV Eyes [TV Eyes] [2006]
| I finally filled out my Roger Joseph Manning Jr collection this past year, and in there was this gem of a project called "TV Eyes" he did with Jason Falkner and Brian Reitzell. This is my single favorite new-for-me album from this past year. This song feels like an "ending" song, so it's here to close out this mix. |
