Andrew Weatherall - Music's Not For Everyone (2016)

If Andrew Weatherall is known for one song above all others then it's for his remix of Primal Scream's 'I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have' as the ground-breaking 'Loaded'. However, on looking further into his career I found that he's worked with a lot more name artists than I realised, with his first studio work being alongside Paul Oakenfold on the club remix of 'Hallelujah' for the Happy Mondays. More remixes followed before he hit the big time with 'Loaded', and this opened the door for many other bands to request his services, including his acclaimed 'A Mix of Two-Halves' version of Saint Etienne's cover of Neil Young's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart', and his remix of My Bloody Valentine's 'Soon', which was ranked at number 1 in NME's list of 'The 50 Best Remixes Ever'. For this collection I've gathered together thirteen of his best remixes, and attempted to mix them into an hour and three quarters of top notch dance music.

Andrew Weatherall - Music's Not For Everyone (2016) UPGRADE

Since compiling this collection from Andrew Weatherall I've discovered the joys of Audacity, and have now manged to work out how to crossfade and mix this set properly, so this upgrade includes two versions of the album - one with a single 104 minute track and one with the tracks split out, but still segued seamlessly. It definitely sounds better than the first version, but it won't be perfect as this is my first attempt.
