Sinead O' Connor: Grave Lullabies

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (born 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter. She rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album "The Lion and the Cobra" and achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a cover of the song "Nothing Compares 2 U". Her next album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" featured Marco Pirroni and Kevin Mooney, of Adam and the Ants fame, and contained her international breakthrough hit "Nothing Compares 2 U", a song written by Prince and originally recorded and released by a side project of his, The Family. Aided by a memorable and well received video by John Maybury which consisted almost solely of O'Connor's face as she performed the song, it became a massive international hit, reaching #1 in several countries.
O'Connor's career was punctuated with controversies, but one of the mot infamous moments was on 3 October 1992, when she appeared in the US on "Saturday Night Live" as a musical guest. She was singing an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War," which she intended as a protest over the sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church, by changing the lyric "racism" to "child abuse."She then presented a photo of Pope John Paul II to the camera while singing the word "evil," after which she tore the photo into pieces, said "fight the real enemy," and threw the pieces towards the camera.
The mix is a collection of her greatest songs, most of which may not necessarily be well known commercial successes. As you will find out eventually, the mix is also not our typical dance floor rouser. As such, we declare this as our first SFFO! (Strictly For Fans Only!) mix. Listen without prejudice!

D.arren H.ayes: T.his D.elicate M.ix W.e've M.ade

Darren Stanley Hayes (born May 8, 1972) is an Australian singer-songwriter. Hayes; first debut as an artiste was back in 1996 as the frontman and singer of the pop duo Savage Garden, whose 1997 album "Savage Garden" propelled them to stardom. The duo followed the success of their debut album with Affirmation (1999), and sold more than 23 million albums worldwide before parting ways in 2001.
Hayes released his first solo album "Spin" in 2002. The album sold two million copies worldwide, debuted at #2 in the UK album charts and spawned the hit single "Insatiable". Hayes' second solo album "The Tension and the Spark" marked a big change of direction for the singer-songwriter, showing him experimenting with electronica and darker lyrics.
Hayes parted way with his record company in 2006 and started his own independent record label Powdered Sugar, from which he would release his third solo album "This Delicate Thing We've Made" (2007). This megamix is specially dedicated to Dave Conner.

Listen Up!!

Dear all,
We have noticed that a few of you have been rating most of our mixes with 1 stars .. which actually means it was a BAD mixset. This is a bit disheartening to us coz we spend a considerable amount of time and effort doing these megamixes (besides our day time jobs). As you all know, even though this blog is our hobby, we take it rather seriously and have always strived to provide fresh updates every few days for free downloading for all.

So... for the visitor from Chicago, and a few others who have rated many of our mixes with only 1 star, please tell us why, and how we can improve. We would love to hear from you. And yes, we know it's only a music blog, and not all our mixes may be down your alley, but we do appreciate some constructive criticism instead of some blanket dismissal of our work with no comments or explanation.

Thank you.
ExMen

Roxette: Fun In The Sun

Roxette is a Swedish pop music duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. They enjoyed worldwide success, from the late 1980s until the mid 1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. The constant flow of hit singles and albums have resulted in staggering record sales of about 55 million albums and 20 million singles.
The urban legend was that when the third single from "Look Sharp", "The Look" became another Top 10 success in their home country in 1988, Roxette were still unknown internationally. It was while studying in Sweden, that an American exchange student from Minneapolis, Dean Cushman, heard "The Look", and brought a copy of Look Sharp! home for the 1988 holiday break. He gave the album to a Minneapolis radio station, KDWB 101.3 FM. The station started playing "The Look" and based on positive caller feedback, the song became very popular, and quickly spread to other radio stations. The song became a radio hit before any Roxette product had been commercially released or promoted in the US market. The story was covered by radio, newspapers and TV in the US and in Sweden, making for good press for many years, with Gessle telling this as the story which highlighted the beginning of their international success. The megamix will feature 30 of their greatest hits from 1987 to 2007. Enjoy :)
