| - Initial Notes About The Mix: This is the second/third (depending on whether or not you count the Xmas one) Dub Club mix that I've been a part of. Seeing as it's January, it makes sense to use this disc to take a look back over the stand-out tracks of 2005 -- or at least those that we became aware of in 2005, regardless of whether or not they actually came out then. Looking over my list, it looks like I did pretty well -- 19 of 23 came out in 2005 (or maybe 2004, depending on when in the year they came out. Like I can't remember if the Madness record was officially 2004 or 2005, and the Blanche record came out officially in 2004, but got picked up by a major and re-distributed in 2005. And, um, I THINK the Data Panik single was 2005, but I could just be wholly wrong on that one. Maybe it was 2004. I don't know -- either way it rules, though. Although, the Sonics song is from 1965, which is 40 years too soon. So, that one's a bit out of place, I suppose, and makes up for this year's best-of thingy actually being relatively current-based. 1.
