Comment:




We thought about titling this Mutual Appreciation Society effort from arktical and avocado rabbit "Why This Will Never Work Between Us." But since it did, in fact, work - "Well Enough" - for both of us to schedule a second collaboration, I scrapped that title and found another.

Neither of us really knew what to expect from one another, which is how most things go between two people. This passage from Hamlet puts it best: "I have heard of your paintings too, well enough, God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another." ~ William Shakespeare.

However, after all was said and done, we seemed to combine our musical choices smoothly and the result is before you in both continuous mix and individual tracks. Artwork is included in both zip files. We hope you enjoy the mix.

Honestly, I know nothing on here. But considering the track records, I'm sure it's great.

Thanks for inviting me to join you for this collaboration. I really enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone a little genre wise and was able to hear some really great new music. I can't wait to start volume 2.
