the tracklists look absolute random, from some fresh stuff to some 25yo tunes, I wouldn't want to have those mixed with one another

will skip the comp as I usually do and give some occasional listen to the new PT releases

I think it is nice to see some older tracks mixed with new ones. I always wondered why "old" tracks don't get played more in sets or radioshows. Especially when a lot of new tracks aren't all that great....

I mix new and old all the time. I agree, there's often not that many good new tracks about. Plus there's far too much gold from the 90's and 00's, I often discover more nice old tunes that I haven't heard before in a month than I do memorable fresh releases.

Excellent tracklist

congrats @Super-Frog Saves Tokyo with a (I presume) first vinyl release 👌 & @Bobby Summa on a compilation!

well deserved!
Thank you indeed!

Yeh, first SFST vinyl, but previously I wrote a track on Rich's Rain Stars Eternal (Spectrum) and I've still got the original test press from 2007 (unplayed!!!), and I proudly display my vinyl of Rich's Islands album on which we both made Frontier and Tied.

Exciting stuff - I'm proud of Clarion. Some tracks take years to make, that was a day or so from beginning to end.

It seems this time around, the mixing itself has been given more focus, vs the impact of the individual tracks. Given what the guys have been saying so far, it will be a compilation that will only properly work listened to as a whole.

Looking forward to the journey!

You co-wrote Spectrum? How long have you been working with Rich?
