this mix celebrates the versatility the human hands possesses as a percussion instrument. almost all these songs have real-life hand clapping, but a few feature the 808-synth hand clap sound as well. and to be honest, sometimes its very hard for me to distinguish between the two.
i was inspired to make this mix after watching Bjork's live DVD recorded at the Royal Opera House in London. they do a fantastic final performance of It's In Our Hands.

nice use of clapping in the chorus, for some reason it makes this song even more eerie than it already was. i'll be the hyena, youll see...

when i first starting paying attention to songs for this mix, this was the first song to catch my ear. something about collective-membership bands and their wellsprings of intuitiveness. i will forever love these guys.

| 4 | !!! : Hello? Is This Thing On? |

i have no idea what this man looks like, but the mental image i get in my head when i hear is voice is so intensely satisfying. syncopated rhythms with the occassional hand clap thrown in for good measure.

it sounds like a good portion of this song uses the 808 hand claps, but im pretty sure these guys threw in a few true-blood hand claps at various points during the interludes..
