Comment:

60 minutes. this is obviously a year-end mixtape, one i will be making copies of to send to my friends as late new year's presents. the theme may not be quite so obvious, though - the placement of each song in the mix corresponds to the placement on the original album. thus, massive attack's "angel" is the first song on side a, as it is the first song on the album "mezzanine." as for the albums the songs were culled from - they're just albums and artists i listened to a lot this year.
