The fourth installment of the We Make it Good series of mixtapes is a very different sound from its predecessors. Spank Rock's Armani XXXchange's version is movie soundtrack themed and includes lots of classics like the Rolling Stones 'Gimme Shelter' (which has an entire orchestral reprise), some Harry Belafonte, Curtis Mayfield, the George Baker Selection, Tangerine Dream, and a bunch of soundbites (even the Mountain Dew song from
The Devil and Daniel Johnston).
Unlike the other DJs in the We Make it Good series, XXXchange hasn't gone to town with a lot of obviously tricky mixes (although the fact that you don't notice them proves how seamless they are) and hasn't included big numbers for the disco kids, but it's still a bit of a party.
