Soundtrack, Film Score, Orchestral DJ AFOS
Incognito I

This mix was first posted on Mixcloud back in 2017.

In its final year as an internet radio station, A Fistful of Soundtracks had, at midnight Pacific Standard Time every weeknight, a block of music called "AFOS Incognito." It was two hours of music from original scores that were written for spy movies or shows. I launched "AFOS Incognito" because about a decade before, I became a fan of the SomaFM channel Secret Agent, but I was starting to find it to be repetitive. Its playlist sounded like it was frozen in 2003. SomaFM founder Rusty Hodge liked to slip 007 movie soundbites into Secret Agent, but none of the soundbites were from the Daniel Craig era, and that bugged me a bit. I wanted "AFOS Incognito" to not sound like it was frozen in 2003, so its playlist included music from much more recent spy movies like Craig's 007 movies, in addition to music from classics like The Ipcress File and The Spook Who Sat by the Door.

The first three "Incognito" mixes recreate exactly how "AFOS Incognito" sounded from 2015 to my station's demise in 2016, while the fourth "Incognito" mix imagines how the midnight block would have sounded had I continued running the station after 2016 (I would have added a ton of tracks from Ludwig Göransson's score to Black Panther, a movie Ryan Coogler referred to as his 007 movie).

"Incognito I" features music from movies like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, and OSS 117: Lost in Rio, as well as music from shows like It Takes a Thief, The Prisoner, The Avengers, Get Smart, and Alias.
