description:

Everyone is going somewhere or coming back. Transportation has long been a theme in music. We sing about what we do. As good a place to hang a mix as any when you are trying to avoid work as I am! Do not expect good geography on this trip. We will be flung back and forwards between the four corners of the Earth. (Why do they still say that, I thought we had decided the thing was round a while back!) Doirect routes take a back seat as music takes the wheel!

	Track 4 from Classic Jazz Piano (1927 - 1957) Length: 00:02:59 Year: 0000
	Track Description: "Train time" has always fascinated me. I find the rythym to be hypnotic, and it relaxes me, just like actually being on a long train ride does. Full of fun, AND ambient before it's time. As the journey begins, I doze off, and find myself in an electronic dreamworld... SHOW LESS

	Track 4 from Trans Europe Express Length: 00:06:42 Year: 1977

	Track 4 from Flying Length: 00:02:25 Year: 1997
	Track Description: Now we dip into grunge as the journey continues at breakneck speeds, hurtling us through Seattle. This band deserved to be heard, but there were a lot of hard acts to follow. SHOW LESS

	Track 13 from The Heavy Heavy Hits Length: 00:03:18 Year: 1998
	Track Description: Now we are on home ground for me. North London. Camden Town to be precise. "I like driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar!" We'll be lucky to find a parking place in that neighbourhood though, so we had better keep on moving... SHOW LESS

	Track Description: Ex Stray Cat Setzer takes on a journey from Chicago to LA, more than two thousand miles all the way. I have never actually got my kicks on route 66, but I was mugged in Chicago in the 80s, and that included kicking! SHOW LESS

	The most basic form of transport is walking, and this solitary version of the pursuit happens to be one of the [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from The Complete Chess Sessions (Disc 2) Length: 00:02:48 Year: 0000
	Track Description: The most basic form of transport is walking, and this solitary version of the pursuit happens to be one of the greatest examples of commercial Chicago blues to come out of the Chess label. SHOW LESS
9	The Beatles : Flying
	I prefer to fly rather than walk. The Beatles, like many 60s bands, were able to fly everywhere. Sometimes wit [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Magical Mystery Tour Length: 00:02:17 Year: 1967
	Track Description: I prefer to fly rather than walk. The Beatles, like many 60s bands, were able to fly everywhere. Sometimes with, sometimes without an airplane! SHOW LESS

	Track 1 from Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols Length: 00:03:22 Year: 1990
	Track Description: But why all this travelling anyway? What is the purpose. Well, perhaps you plan to fly away to a package holiday destination, despite Johnny Rotten's claim that it is 'the new Belsun.' SHOW LESS

	Track Description: So, if we are not flying to the Costa Blanca, we had better get back on that train. Or this train, to be precise. SHOW LESS
13	Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds : The Ship Song
	We haven't been to sea much on this cockeyed journey of ours, so maybe a song about ships woukld suit as well [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from The Good Son Length: 00:05:10 Year: 1990
	Track Description: We haven't been to sea much on this cockeyed journey of ours, so maybe a song about ships woukld suit as well at this stage. As for the music (oh yes, the music) I can recall the excitement with which I pu5rchased this album, one of the last vinyls I ever bought. I can never quite understand why many of my musical heroes are not embraced by that many people, but it is kind of fun as well. SHOW LESS

	Track 7 from The Piper At the Gates Of Dawn Length: 00:09:41 Year: 1967
	Track Description: I have been bursting to get some early Floyd on a mixtape here. The ultimate journey must involve space travel. An interstellar Overdrive would be very useful, I think. And that, dear readers, is enough transportation for now. SHOW LESS
