An ambient, midtempo mood piece with occasional vocals has been playing for over 10 minutes. How do you maintain the general atmosphere that song started while dovetailing into a tune with more prominent vocals?
iTunes shuffle mode answered this Sunday by pairing The Art Of Noise's "Moments In Love" with Eddi Reader's "Clear." This is yet another situation where I've owned two CDs for years but had never thought to segue those two songs or artists.
I pride myself on crafting fitting but unusual segues. I also enjoy it, though, when pure chance makes me hear two songs I've owned for a long time in a new light.
