Spectacular
The ordering of the songs - whether intentional or random - is sheer brilliance, there is an hypnotic musical pattern in the ordering
The selections of Before The Spring IV and V are exquisite, as is the assemblage order of both offerings, and their musicality, their ambiance, is dazzling prescient with regards to the impending seasonal/climatic changes (climax of high summer steering towards autumn, climax of autumn steering into winter)
IV and V, already burned to disc. I don't think I've ever come across a more perfect ordering of songs ever (ordering as in, an intrinsic sequential pattern), other than a Christmas CD set I personally made many moons ago and lost, every song painstakingly chosen and the order painstakingly wrought in a way that sequentially embodied the totality of events of Christmas, from beginning to middle to end, it was almost like a storybook of Christmas and Winter, conjuring up important childhood memories of autumn and winter,,,I'm Jewish and like most American Jews I grew up within a Christian society and I grew up in the wintry north and in a region that went "all out" to celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that time of year, up until recently, for many people, is the most joyous time of year, childhood memories are replete with Autumn/Winter pleasaunces and joyaunces, and my CD set captured the essence of my personal memories of that childhood time, anyway I'm rambling terribly
Thank you very much for all the Before The Spring compilations, especially IV & V [yes][clap][clap][yes]
Thanks for your generous comments and for sharing your thoughts. It's great that you enjoyed the compilation so much. Your comment makes it feel worthwhile.
The ordering isn't random at all, a lot of thought went into it, and it's taken a while to get the final order down, but I am really pleased with how it's turned out and am glad you are too.
If you ever put something together like the Christmas mix you made, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again!
Track 2 is the stand out track.
Ok then.
