I just clicked once on the first song and after a brief pause the tunes started. Didn't even sign up or anything...
Not sure you can download them though...
You could, like me make a 'real' mix tape, by plugging your stereo into your computer's headphone jack and recording onto 'ye olde' tape. But then you have to have a tape player, which seems to be a rarity nowadays...
God I miss tapes. I was digging out all my old Peel sesion tapes the other day, but every tape player in my house has broken, it would seem. I'll have to back them up one of these days...

Haha. :(
I should comment on mixes I've heard to return the favor. Firstly:
szycag's - Mostly electronic. I'm not much of an electronic music person, so it was mostly lost on me (very busy, I like it minimal), but I liked the second track the most. Reminded me a lot of Akufen's My Way.
My mix was pretty much made for myself. I just wanted to make one that wasn't indie rock flavor of the week stuff because I randomly browsed and got like ten of those in a row. I love that Akufen album you mentioned.
Making that was fun up until the part where the site rejected two clearly valid mp3s.
Didn't reject the duplicates that I got from a different source, though.
I thought your mux was very cohesive, and it flowed well. While I appreciate the thought you put into the theme, I ended up disliking most of the content due to the vocals. I don't know if it's because I listen to mainly instrumental music, but some of it really rubbed me the wrong way. My favorite songs were Movimento Perpétuo, Águila de trueno i, and A noite passada.
The vocals were half of the enjoyment for me. Good instrumentals too, tended to feel very typical for their particular genres although I get the feeling some of the tracks were playing at being in a certain genre (Gypsy Solitaire especially).
Zebra's - I think you changed some of the songs? One I was trying to place has gone missing. Anyways, my favorite types of older video game music. Dimahoo track = best classic theme in a newish shooter, fits in so easily between Mega Drive music.
I've always thought Iron Knuckle was a bit overrated :lol:
Anyway, unless somebody has a hankering for the music I cut ties with years ago...ehh...plus I'm busy this week. Maybe I could put together some stuff later.
Some of the songs felt out of place, so I switched them up. Looking back, I don't know why i did, as some of the others seem just as out of place.

It's the kind of song that exemplifies the whole Rock and Roll movement in shmup music. The only other song that can match up is from Gradius III (one of the songs I removed!)
We here shall not rest until we have made a drawing-room of your shaft, and if you do not all finally go down to your doom in patent-leather shoes, then you shall not go at all.
