RjD2 Live Set Inspires Purchase of Old Mixtape

I had the privilege of going to this year's Download Festival, which turned out to be quite a let down despite the fantastic ending that made it worth the wait. I've never been into bands like Gang of Four or Jesus and Mary Chain, but thankfully once I had sat through all of these headliners practically the whole crowd left the Shoreline establishing me with a prime standing position for RJD2. He was the last to play, and really there were only about 500-700 people still at the front of the stage by ther time he was spinning. He fumbled the rythm a few times, but that can only be expected of a producer who uses vinyl, and works with four simultaneous turntables.

The reason why I am making this post however is to share with you the amazing listening experience that I stumbled upon while searching through Amoeba yesterday, and that is his early mix entitled "Your Face Or Your Kneecaps", which contains about an hours woth of material all put into a very fluid 39 track cd. The 14th track on the cd also remixes At The Helm by Hieroglyphics which was the most impressive to me as a resident of the bay, and a long time appreciator of Third Eye Vision.
