Frictionless Mix Volume Two by Pencilface

"I finally got round to doing a follow-up to that Frictionless mix you guys kindly stuck on your site a few years back," says Pencilface. "I did it with you guys in mind, so I did a bit of searching and I'm pretty sure these tunes haven't been featured on AOR Disco already. As you have a few regular contributors who have totally nailed the cool-westcoast-SSW-vibe, I thought I'd go the other way and I collected together some slightly sillier tunes that all have something a bit odd about them, a lolloping groove or some clunky synthesiser sounds.  Having said that, some I stuck in purely because I bloody love them or they're dead catchy!  It starts mellow, but picks up pace, taking in Easy-glide, AOR-oddities and smooth foreign synth funk. No re-edits, just a bunch of old records."
