It's gotta be better than it looks. And that doesn't mean it looks worse than it sounds at all. But It has to better listening to it.

Not common to see classical mixed in like this. It could use a little explanation but I guess there is a fairy tale theme? Anyway, I'm putting a copy in The Reading Room Annex for others to puzzle over, if I can figure out how to put an accent on the letter n. ;-)

I, once again --is this to be my new role in life, ho hum -- find myself in agreement with jonpoi. I cannot make any judgement about this mix from reading a tracklist -- an interesting array of artists and composers, no doubt; but it means little in written form. If ever a mix needed to be heard in order to be assessed, this is one such occasion.The lack of notes and the how-is-this-related cover art merely add more confusion. If this was your intention, you have succeeded. Throw us a frickin' bone here.

Yeah, I can imagine the thought that went into making this, and the artistic statement it is making, but I don't actually know what it is (I am an idiot, though). I still think it's a great looking mix, for its ambition, oddity, and sheer creativity. Way different than most mixes. Plus that's some killer cover art

I guess we have concensus. In principle, this looks at least interesting but prolly much better to listen to.
And I would like to listen to it.
