I picked the songs, struggled through fitting them together, exported the mix... and hated it. It didn't open well, didn't flow well, and several transitions felt forced. I replaced a couple songs with others, moved things around, reworked the whole thing, exported... and hated it. I had the sequence from the Lineland track to the DJ Food track together and loved it, but I couldn't get anything before or after the sequence that I liked that approached my 80-90 minute goal.
In the end I decided that mix quality meant more to me than artist variety, put the two songs in and it felt like everything fell together almost all by itself.
the landscape you see when you look down
The theme for this mix is a flying dream. Many of the songs are meant to invoke a feeling of soaring and mixed in are some quirky sounds for dream weirdness. Hope you enjoy it.

This came from a demo a friend of a friend gave me in the early 00s. Trying to get in touch with him for a song title. Apparently he never got signed and no longer makes music. Such a shame.
