Comment:

Palindrome: A word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards. I've tried this before but I've never been satisfied. Until now. I've tried to include a variety of ways that the same piece of music can be recorded. I've got artists redoing their own work. I've got different takes on composed music. I've got strandard covers. I've got The Beatles twice, which is probably breaking some mix rule. But I've got them, the most covered band ever, doing a cover. I also tried to make this a listenable palindrome. This is to say that I could have posted the tracks from back to front and it would still make sense. I chose this direction of the palidrome by a coin toss. On my computer I've got both versions, and they sound very different. Different tempos and moods. It was this that always foiled me in the past, but this time it holds up both ways.
