I did say I call for assistance when needed. :wink: Wayne helps me a lot, even if it’s sometimes just being in my court/bouncing ideas off of. He’s been a massive help for this comp though, and also moderating this forum, so thank you @wayne !

They took over from RFJ. Then RFJ tooketh back and gave it to me (after a few years of dormancy).

We have picked 29 tracks out of a possible 53.

The number of order configurations (permutations) of 29 is 8.84 x 1030

To put this number into perspective, it is:
8,841,761,993,739,701,954,543,616,000,000 (roughly 8.84 nonillion)

Good luck to us arranging the track order…:manton::fidcringe:

If you’re ever stumped, open with loud and bombastic and work your way down towards quieter tracks at the mid point. Then drop in another loud one and work your way down again to end the album. It mimics how LPs were pressed (louder tracks at the outside, near the beginning where distortion was less of an issue).

Literally how I still arrange every album I get a say on. Something about it just works.

Yep.

This is interesting because, in the days before CDs - when vinyl records were the preferred way to listen to a band’s output - professional bands (and any major record company marketing dept), would all agree that the most important things on any album were a strong opener on each side and a strong closer at the end of the B-side.

Of course, it makes sense: strong opener lures you in and strong closer leaves you on a high note, making you want to listen again. You wouldn’t want a “lesser” song to end the B-side, so engineers had to figure out how to avoid potential distortion issues.

My style of track listing is more about creating an atmosphere and a journey. It doesn’t necessarily line up with how they did it on vinyl, but it does a bit. This one is going to vinyl so I will have to compromise a bit.

Might be a couple less now. some of the mixes weren’t good enough.

But 4 x LP’s none-the-less.
