RogueMix Volume 2
© 2000 Rogue Rob
CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
Another aural experiment using samples. What I get off on is taking samples and combining them so they do not sound like sampled mixes but rather an actual band improvising. That's the challenge - to make samples not sound like samples.

notes
The follow-up to RogueMix Volume 1. This is a little more rock-oriented (with a space subplot runnin' through it) but you still get my atmosophere-driven vibe and of course my trademark jungle drums! I wouldn't let you down! And Robot Morons features ALL-ROGUE Vocals! The joy! The rapture.
1/12/07 - A lot of people are asking when I'm gonna put out RogueMix 3, and I thank you all for your support. There WILL be a third one, I am working on it now. Hopefully it will be ready by the middle of the year if not sooner. Again, thanks for all your support, my babies! (as Tim Curry would say.)
1/14/07 - I've changed the covers for both RogueMix volume 1 and RogueMix volume 2 (I took out the 2000 reference and added titles to them, since RogueMix volume 3 has a title and I wanted to be consistent). Workin' on volume 3 now, so hang in for me.

Great music, get it now!
author: James AndersonThis cd is hot, hot, hot! One great track after the other, with endlessly creative ideas overflowing. I agree with all the other reviews here - where's Volume Three?!
Rogue Rob, put out another one! please! Please!!
author: Alex BealA bud of mine has these two cds (roguemix volume 1 and 2), and I heard them in his car the other night. The best compilation cds I think I've ever listened to. One track after another of pure ear candy. Where's Volume 3, Rogue?!
The best mix cd I've ever heard, except for Volume One
author: Freedom RyderThere are a lot of mix compilation cd's these days, but RogueMix is at the top of the list for me. Most of the ones I've heard get boring after the first 3 minutes because there's no artistry. RogueRob, is a real artist. With every track you feel it. You know you're in good hands here. My test of a good cd is one that you can just leave on and play over and over without it ever getting tedious - like any Bob Marley cd, for example. RogueMix is like that. Can't wait for Volume 3 and that's an understatement.
My name is Harry...and I'm a RogueMix junkie!
author: Harry Hoo DeeniMy roommate had this playing one night when I got home from a party. Didnt go to sleep until I'd heard it through TWICE, and it's over an hour long, She has the first Volume too, and I heard that the next day. Over and over. I love this stuff and I am proud to tell anyone who will listen--My name is Harry and I'm a junkie - gotta have my RogueMix fix every day!
WOW!!
author: Catherine DelucaI heard this cd because a friend of mine has it, and I am going to get a copy as soon as possible. I love these mixes, especially the original ones like Robot Morons and The Kid Next Door. Really cool stuff.
Finally - - Volume Two!!! And this one ROCKS, too!
author: Chauncey PuckermanHere it is, and not soon enough -- the follow-up to RogueMix Volume One, which I very favorably reviewed on this site. As in the first effort, this collection is put in the proper order as well - one track flows creatively into the next, always making sense and always keeping the listener involved and intoxicated. And Rogue Rob's wit is in high evidence, particularly in Robot Morons, with 6 original (warning: one foul word is used! OH NO) Rogue vocal samples, and in the two concept pieces - TechnoQuartet & The Kid Next Door - it reigns supreme! TechnoQuartet is described on the back of the cd like this: 'anyone who's ever lived in an apartment building knows what happens when two opposing musical factions collide' - and that's what it is: a classical quartet competing for soundspace with a very loud and obnoxious techno-rock band, which seems to be filtering through the walls from somewhere upstairs. It's hilarious. And The Kid Next Door is described thusly: 'so you're playin' yer ax with yer band & yer neighbor (through the wall next door) unexpectedly joins in.' That's the concept, and it is achieved beautifully as well: the rockers kick in, with the lead guitarist playing the same riff over and over like he's 14 and it's the only one he's learned. Suddenly, we hear a slick bass riff, sounding like it's coming though the wall next door! It's the neighbor, playing along! At first the band is skittish but then the one-riff guitar guy goes back into his one riff, until the bass player changes HIS, forcing our guitar boy to improvise something different. The result feels like a genuine exchange, and it's delightful. Get this wonderful cd today and discover its rewards for yourself. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Be Advised - This guy rules
author: Jo WatsonObviously, a genius. It's NOT just "Another Day", when you get your hands on Rogue Rob's material. I was blown away immediately by "Garages of the Infamous" and "Pacjam". RogueMix 2000; Volume 2, is a fantastic addition to everyone's collection ~ along with the ever so addictive Volume 1. You WON'T be disappointed!!
It's a disgrace......if you don't buy this cd!!
author: Jimmy JayGot one from RogueRob the first day it came out - just like the first one, it grabs you immediately and keeps you listening til the end, at which point you do the only intelligent thing: start playing it over again! It's that good.
