Hi, everyone.
I don't know is anyone knows a CD that was gifted by beer company Heineken in 1999, called "Heineken Millennium Mix". It's a really interesting mix of sounds, music and words (speeches) of the last 1000 years, although it concentrates hardly (of course) in the 20th century.
It's fun to listen to this. It's just a 29-minute set of constant playing, and the voices of famous people really fit on the diverse original and remixed songs.
Very little in the net I found about this album, but it's quite interesting.
Here's the tracklisting. (20 tracks, with many elements mixed on every track).

1 Unknown Artist  Intro - Star Wars Main Theme
2.1 Jaydee  Plastic Dreams
2.2 Bert Meulendijk  Norwegian Wood ( )
2.3 Thomas Edison  "I Am The First Edison Phonograph"
2.4 Richard Nixon  "To Bring Peace With Honor"
3 Good Men, The  Give It Up
4.1 Cassita  La Foule (Extended Vocal Mix)
4.2 Charles De Gaulle  "Paris Liberé"
5.1 Gat Decor  Passion
5.2 De Klerk*  "A Firm Decision"
5.3 Nelson Mandela  "Fellow South Africans"
6.1 D.O.N.S. Feat. Technotronic  Pump Up The Jam (Boyz-R-Us Remix)
6.2 John F. Kennedy  "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You..."
7.1 Orfeo  Bombay Mix
7.2 John F. Kennedy  "Ich Bin Ein Berliner"
7.3 Ronald Reagan  "Tear Down That Wall"
8 Kruder & Dorfmeister  Out Of The Blue
9.1 Raindeer  Couch Surfin'
9.2 Vladimir Illich Lenin*  "Een Socialistische Wereldrevolutie"
9.3 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.*  "I Have A Dream"
10 Orfeo  Miles Away (Original Flavour Mix)
11.1 A Forest Mighty Black  Tides (Instrumental)
11.2 Elvis Presley  I Got A Woman
11.3 Unknown Artist  L'uomo Dell 'Armonica (From Once Upon A Time In The West)
11.4 Neil Armstrong  "One Small Step For Man"
12.1 Rock "A" Feller  Cuban Base
12.2 Louis Armstrong  What A Wonderful World
12.3 Fidel Castro "Nosotros Estamos Responsabilizados"
12.4 Unknown Artist  Suite No.3 "Air" (Bach)
12.5 Harry Truman*  "The World Will Note"
13 Jan Koper  Take 5
14.1 James Brown  I Got You (I Feel Good)
14.2 Mahatma Ghandi*  "A Soldier Of Peace"
15.1 Ofra Haza  Im Nin' Alu
15.2 Joop den Uyl  "Benzine Op De Bon"
15.3 Anwar Al Sadat  "No More War"
16 Unknown Artist  Billy Jean
16.2 Sir Winston Churchill*  "This Was Their Finest Hour"
16.3 Jack van Gelder  "Nederland Op Gelijke Hoogte"
17.1 Unknown Artist  Stayin' Alive
17.2 Mao Tse-Toeng  "Modesty"
18 Edwin Hawkins Singers  Oh Happy Day
19.1 Em-El  Moody Sandwich
19.2 Glenn Miller  In The Mood
19.3 Jack van Gelder  "Goooaaaaal"
20.1 Unknown Artist  Outro
20.2 Unknown Artist  "Wees Gegroet Met Jubeltonen"

In my opinion, the best moments are the absolutely funny montage of the De Gaulle speech on a techno-dance piece, and the interview made to Elvis on track 10 than then connects with a sample of "I Got A Woman" mixed with Armstrong's words on the Moon (a big step...).
Well, just that. Someone knows this thing?

This is the cover, by the way.

No one, huh? LOL

Well, it's obviously Dutch and for sale on a Dutch site as well. Want me to buy it for you?
By the way, did you know that John F Kennedy's line 'Ich bin ein Berliner' grammatically incorrect is? What he should have said was 'Ich bin Berliner', which is the correct translation for what he meant to say. By saying 'Ich bin EIN Berliner', he actually referred to the tasteful 'Berliner Bol', which is the local donut.

Wow, that's crazy.
I got a copy of this on my house, thanks. I was wondering if anyone knew it. I guess not... (bouncing1)
