There are no shortage of Best Of lists that float around every year. I mean, this FluxBlog 2010 Survey is eight discs of music released this year deemed worthy of procurement. That might seem excessive at first but, honestly, if you're on the computer 8-10 hours a day, most days of the year - you're going to hear a lot of music.. way more than 80 minutes worth of goodness.

So, when I started putting together a list of my favorite songs / albums from the year it struck me that I should just put out multiple mixes that covered pretty much everything. If it seems excessive, that's fine - I'm really just putting these together for my own reference and enjoyment so why not go all out. This year I'm going to put out three mixes reviewing the year - the first two comprised of songs that didn't get that much coverage or press and the third comprised of "obvious" selections - the heavy hitters and no-brainer picks.

Long story short - here's Year End Review 2010: Volume 1. If you like it, great! If you have enough of your own music to sort through, I totally understand.
