Comment:

No, not actually a cassette, merely two 80 minute discs chalk full of legal brain stimulants. My first foray into anything resembling a classical mix. It has become the unofficial soundtrack to an unmade feature film I have in my mind about teen angst, crooked cops, the life of Caligula, and medieval France as well as the ultimate verdict of whether or not Richard III killed the Princes in the Tower. Suggestions for a title are welcome indeed. Oh yeah, the ghost of one of these composers came to me in a dream and told me to stay away from his work. But he was frail and decomposing, so he gave in. Disc one starts hella Bolshevik Revolution-core and somehow ends with a Russian tune that provokes images of the Czar (and the Tsar too I guess) leading his army down a snow drenched slope against the rebels. Disc 2 starts with medieval Frecnh chansons and ends with the destruction of mankind and the four horsemen of apocalypse flying around. Either way, I'm going to sleep for a long time.
