Notes[edit]

  • Track times are from the actual start of mixtape, excluding NTS indent.
  • Artwork is a vintage 1970s photograph of a band playing at the Tomorrowland Terrace in Disneyland, California.
  • The band in the photograph is playing under a coke sign, "Cement, Gravel, and Rock Co.", could possibly be the name of the act on stage.
  • Hajime Tachibana - XP41 was co-written by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo. [2]
  • Hot Day In Pimba and Mood In Motion were sourced from Vinyl Factory Mix 10: Django Django (Library music special)
  • [U#] marks unidentified tracks with their according numbers as used in community.

Lyrics[edit]

  • Track at 1:21:54

On the hill starts a bright new day
Soon the queen will come our way
The hillside's a place to share
A place to grow, love and care
