30 mixes with tracks by “Les+Discrets”

14 fantastic post-rock tracks by 14 different artists/bands. These are my favorites from the first third of 2012.

Fifteen songs of grandeur and gravitas, including music by Alcest, Drudkh and Murmuüre.

As darkness falls and envelops all, the children of the night emerge. They are the ones who intermix light and dark freely, liberated from the hypocrisy of the masses. Although the former are condemned, the latter are those who are truly lost. The universe, it seems, operates on irony too, in addition to cold, stark death. Why? Simply because without testing circumstances, growth is impossible. This is a lesson lost on most people, who are content with living in complacent stagnation.

Just another post-rock playlist.

Tracks that help me escape reality, by putting me in a hopeful mood, though, not a sad one. Focused on indie rock, with a few exceptions.

Made outside of 8tracks. Anyone's guess how well it plays when jumbled out of order. Features everything from Mt. Fuji Doom Jazz Corporation to Burzum to M83 and plenty in between.

This is another weird and diverse mix to go along with my taste. Once again, something in here for everybody!

miracle.

Eight tracks including music by Baroness, Blue Öyster Cult, and Deftones. I haven't smoked in forever, but if I ever did again, it would be to this.

Ten tracks including music by A Forest Of Stars, Alcest, and Amesoeurs.

Tracks including music by Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Dornenreich.
