Jim Appleton – Neurogenesis
Goat Ranch resident Jim Appleton refreshes and re-releases a vintage set dug up and dusted off from his archives.
“I originally mixed this in 1998 on a cassette. It’s one I’ve kept over the years and only recently, after being given an old tape deck, have I been able to play it back.”

Description
The quality was clearly fading so I decided to re-do it. It’s as close to my original as possible. The start and finish points of each mix were crucial to get in the right place to make it sound right. This proved quite difficult to re-create and I had to record it numerous times – but I’m satisfied with how it is now. I also entered it into the audioaddictz.com 4th birthday party, and on that weekend it stood along side Marsh’s mix Music For Space Elevators. Well, that’s it’s little history. This really was a journey into my past and one that I hope you get chance to listen to.
Best wishes,
-Jim
Yes, you heard it right, we now have our first official resident DJ here at the Ranch! You can look forward to seeing more of Jim’s mixes as we continue in our mission of maximum Goa and psychedelic trance mix delivery to the masses. Thanks for joining the team, Jim! 🙂

Thanks for having me! 🙂
Superb!! Had a couple of listens already, and its top notch! great selection of tracks and A-1 mixing as usual.
Thanks Kunal for your really nice comment. Glad you like the mix.
🙂
Wow, Jim’ll. That was an outstanding trip through ancient psychedelic crevices buried deeply in my brain. Neurons I thought would never activate again were only too happy to get jiggy to this mix. You chose tracks like a master painter facing his palette, and blended them with exquisite finesse.
This was a treat and a half. Thanks for taking the time to re-discover it and re-do it to perfection!
As always, thank you nutjob for those VERY kind words 🙂 haha!! :D, I’m glad it worked for you in such a positive way.!! It was a great pleasure doing it, and I’m glad it can finally be heard. And here is just perfect….thanks to Marsh!
🙂
man, that Laughing Buddha EP is an absolute corker, eh!!
i must compliment you again on the quality selection you have here, i can visualize some major speaker swimming mayhem with this. 😀
Thank you Kunal !! haha, don’t forget your 3D swimming goggles 😀
Yes, the Laughing Buddha tracks are great, and perhaps often overlooked. The ‘If You Think You’re Psykik’ track was really tough for me to mix though, and was probably the main one that caused me problems trying to get right.
Best wishes to you !
Listened to this and another couple of jims mixes this weekend and ive gotta say they were all wicked!!
Really psychedelic tunes and quality mixing good job jim 🙂 old uns are definetly the good uns 😀
Thanks Sporophore!
Loving your music very much I have to say.. 😉
Jim, this is an absolutely smashing set! Really is motivating me to search for tunes as wicked as these, since I’m a beginning oldschool (and some newschool too) dj! Thanks for this!
Thank you so much! I’m pleased you found it inspiring My apologies for the late response, I’ve only just seen your comment. I hope you are enjoying your track hunting and DJing still! Best wishes to you. 🙂
Shout out to Jim’ll Mix It for an unswerving commitment to a tainted pun.
Thanks for the poke in the ribs 🙂 Unfortunately the pun is still embedded here and there in the back ground. I’m guessing you mean from the download link to this mix?
