Your work of audio and artisitic engineering is without a doubt the highest quality compilation that I've ever received and I most humbly thank you.

I'm glad you like it so much. I'm especially pleased because I liked it a lot, and listened to it a few times before I posted it off, so I was hoping the recipient would enjoy it.
The idea was to do a kind of personal, spiritual tape, which might make sense but might not. I thought a simple, but pretty, cover would be best, and I've always liked the look of white and green together.
I think I gave you the track times on the sleeve, but not the artists or titles. The full tracklist is as follows:
A1 'Allegretto' from 'Sinfonietta' by Leos Janacek (02m25s)
A2 'Portreuth Harbour' by Polygon Window (04m44s)
A3 'Peace' by Horace Silver (06m02s)
A4 'Earth' by Third Ear Band (09m50s)
A5 'Ntyilo Ntyilo' by Abdullah Ibrahim and Ekaya (04m40s)
A6 'Boil Into U.V.' by Piratio (10m30s)
A7 'Me Plus One' (instrumental) by Kasabian (02m30s)
A8 'Mother and Child' by David Sylvian (04m14s)
B1 'Banks of the Dee' by Cry Havoc (03m28s)
B2 'Fiend With a Violin' by The Fall (03m05s)
B3 'Albanian' (live 2003) by Godspeed You Black Emporer (15m55s)
B4 'Bones' by Shinra (06m18s)
B5 'Sun King' by Chris Potter (07m00s)
B6 'The Private Psychedelic Reel' by The Chemical Brothers (09m20s)
I love all of the tracks, but I really believe that 'Earth' by Third Ear Band is a musical masterpiece.
