Comment:

My entry in a theme-based mix exchange; my appointed theme was "Pop Odyssey" which I decided to keep for the title. It's roughly broken into three movements, though roughly enough that I didn't bother to point it out in the liner notes. Font by Larry Young. EHM-SP-020

Perhaps "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" by XTC? Fits with the "Odyssey," the "Pop," and the "The..." themes. Great mix all the same.

Coincidentally enough, "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" was going to replace "The Man Who Was Too Loud" in one revision. I decided I preferred the Catholics in that slot from a musical transition standpoint. I also had the Drop Nineteens' "The Dead" in there towards the end at one point.
