This homepage provides, at no charge, a service for song sequencing. The format is that of ideal "greatest hits" collections of various artists. A frequently ignored detail, sequences or "segueways" can be as important to the dramatic presentation of music as the music itself. The music of prominent album acts of the 1960's, '70's, and '80's serves as proof of this idea. Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall," David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," and The Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper" demonstrate how sequences are as important as song quality and album concept. Perhaps one of the nicest sequences of a "current" album is that demonstrated on Sarah Maclachlan’s "Surfacing."

The proprietor of this page has been a compilation sequence specialist in the form of homemade "best of" collections since 1983. Compact Disc Technology, CD player programmability, and CD-recording technologies have led to new applications of homemade song compilations. With the help of this service, you can rearrange your favorite album tracks into more exciting sequences that enhance themes incompletely developed on original albums. This homepage represents extensive experience via experimentation with sequences for many popular artists, and is offered free of charge for discussion and your personal experimentation.

Don't look for too many current artists from this service; with the exception of Tori Amos, this service examines primarily classic rock, AOR, and pop of the '60's, 70's, and 80's. Enjoy!
