you made it this far? brilliant!

[The NZA]

That looks like a pretty good mix, IC (heh), i like the genre blending, even got Al Green for good meaure.

I make quite a few of these for miss Heartlessbitch, but most of them are just mix CD's to introduce certain hip-hop/R&B artists to her that i think she'll like; she didnt take to techno or much country, so its jazz here & there and rap. You just gotta mix the real stuff with some decent radio ones to make it approachable, i think.

For the album, tho, i used mostly piano pieces that i thought worked, for a good studyin/go to sleep piece. Personally, i think music's about one of the most personal gifts you can give; its like knowin someone well enough to recommend a movie, book, or in a chick's case, pick out clothes theyd like (pretty advanced shit), only cooler.
