Set the wayback machine to 2007. I started creating mixes in the mid-2000s, the days before social media, before Bandcamp & Spotify. Back then I spent a lot of time on the Hypnos Records forum. There, a bunch of like-mined music nerds shared comments about new albums, gear, music trends, etc.
We also shared mixes. In 2007 forum member, Brian Bieniowski, created mixes under the Asphalt Eden moniker. Two mixes, The Beautiful Land of Nod 1 & 2, are some of my all-time favorites and I've used them as sleep soundtracks for years.
A few weeks ago a loyal listener asked "Could you post some of the Asphalt Eden super-classics like Land of Nod I & II to your Mixcloud as guest mixes/classics in the field?"
Brian was kind enough to give the thumbs up to posting these classic mixes. He did not have the original tracklists but somehow was able to reconstruct them by listening to each set. Impressive! Here's a link to his website - https://www.handsometechnologies.com
