Here are a couple of mix CDs I've made in the past... Both of these have pretty interesting genre meshes, and a nice variety of artists, and I really like the way that the songs flow together. Take a listen, if you're interested.
The "album" artwork is mine, so don't re-use it, please. I didn't intend the images to be used for the CDs, so the relevance isn't 100%, but I thought that the CDs needed covers of some sort...
If you do listen, let me know what you think. I pride myself a lot in the track-arrangement, so I'd love to hear other thoughts on it. I try not to throw too much together on to one CD, which is difficult for me. I still end up with a pretty eclectic mix, so I try to make the songs work together so that they don't seem so erratic. It's hard to honestly say I stick to one theme, though, when I put Big Brother & The Holding Company and Bauhaus on the same CD...
