Comment:

This is a mix based on a novel-in-progress about a Renaissance world stumbling across an Edwardian/1920's type world. The first half is set in the Edwardian world, and in the second half they go to the Renaissance world. The hero is the inventor of the airplane, hence the end-track. I used a lot of songs with ragtime pianos and imagined it as a soundtrack if the book were a movie. If anyone has more suggestions for songs with a ragtime/1920's type sound, let me know!

"Jeepers Creepers" is decent, but may be a little too eerie.
