ISO50 Playlist 6
Cover by S.Hansen
I know it’s been a long wait but the sixth installment of the ISO50 Playlist is finally up. Sam Valenti IV — the man behind Ghostly International — was kind enough to put together this latest edition of the playlist. Here’s a few words on the selections from Sam:
“This playlist is beats-heavy, they feel right for uncertain times.
There’s also a tip of the hat to some 90’s nostalgia: a hint of Drum &
Bass and filtered House thrown in for good measure. All in all, it’s
a set of listenable wares, without a lot of tire spikes to get caught
on.”
So sit back and enjoy… And if you like what you hear, let us know in the comments.

November 5, 2009 at 8:07 pmOmni Trio is nostalgic for shure. Drum n Bass like this is in desperate need of a comeback. Thanks for the reminder. That track is incredible.

November 5, 2009 at 8:55 pmStoked. I’ve been itching for a new playlist! Can’t say thanks enough.
Aleks says:
November 5, 2009 at 9:27 pmGreat playlist, best one in a while. Only issue is that the “The Go Find” track is labeled incorrectly. It has a different name on the track list than it does on the actual playlist.

November 5, 2009 at 9:30 pmExcellent. I have a lot of work to do tonight so it’s nice to have the soundtrack part of it allllll figured out

November 6, 2009 at 12:01 amThere are a lot of great pieces on this blog right now (this cover being one of them). I love how you’ve transformed this site into a plethora of great design and found inspiration. That’s why this is my number one place for all things graphic design. Keep up the good work.

November 6, 2009 at 12:28 amAnother great playlist!…And the artwork…Wow! Scott you really need to settle down right now. You are just creating like a conveyer belt. You should really think about creating a book of all of your work someday.
Rent says:

Bas says:
November 6, 2009 at 2:06 am@Rent: I’ve never really liked that remix, because I liked the original so much. But I now think it’s actually really good.
Thanks for the very nice list!

November 6, 2009 at 6:29 amNice. Especially digging Memory Tapes.
Andre Obin says:
November 6, 2009 at 6:41 amNice, work from Arovane that I had not heard!
Jarred says:
November 6, 2009 at 7:03 amThanks for sharing, y’all. This is refreshing….my library was getting a bit stale.
Luke says:
November 6, 2009 at 7:07 amBear in Heaven – Ultimate Satisfaction is ridiculous. I know everyone has different tastes in music but this track is just insane for me.
R M Pinti says:
November 6, 2009 at 7:08 amPretty awesome. I’m loving Phantogram but where can I find more music from them?
david says:
November 6, 2009 at 7:30 amJust to reflect what others have said, ultimate gratitude for putting together this compilation, my creative juices are flowing.

November 6, 2009 at 7:31 amscott, i have noticed as of late that alot of your design work seems to be based off of amazing photo’s by, i’m assuming, other unnamed artists. i love image mining, and it gets me psyched when i do find an amazing image to use, but i’m wondering if you feel a little bit of guilt using another person’s split second vision? i’m not asking in a critical way, more to be curious about your process and that of others. i know i always have this guilt in the back of my mind and for me, depending on the source of course, it can be a little hard to overcome and actually let it go and be seen.
jesse says:
November 6, 2009 at 7:40 amgreat timing, i was in need of some new music. And this album cover is bar far my favorite so far.
Justin says:

justinsloe says:
November 6, 2009 at 9:25 amthis is helping me thru this Friday morning
nice choices, Sam
jesse says:
November 6, 2009 at 9:26 amthe only thing about the cover is the middle shape not having right alignment with the other two…is this accidental or on purpose? i keep looking at it…
jesse says:
November 6, 2009 at 9:27 amby right alignment i mean “correct.” its the left side that is skewed

November 9, 2009 at 4:10 pmHave been too busy to check the site regularly but I’m glad I did! Again (!) some wonderfull new discoveries of music and reminiscences of old ones. For the people liking this stuff (esp phantogram and memory tapes) I would recommend listening to The Temper Trap as well… great stuff!

Burton says:
November 29, 2009 at 3:19 pmThanks for sharing this music playlist. Is there any way you could republish your music player swf to not include traces? I am listening to your playlist through your player while I’m working on flash development stuff and it’s flooding my Flash Tracer plugin with traces from your music player (about 100 a minute)
I know that’s sort of a specific request, but if you have the fla you can “Omit Trace Actions” in the movie settings.
Thanks again for the playlist. Take care,
Burton
