---------------

favorite segues: i really enjoyed creating the set that started with boards of canada and ended with brian allen's ensemble, highlights being bob cobbing's delightfully unhinged "viva rabelais" (which includes source material for his collaboration with henri chopin on the classic miniatures album), alva's childlike homicidal choral piece, and brilliant stuff by the vitamin b12 (thanks, steviecat!).
