The pitfalls of shuffle mode X

Chicago's instrumental, "Anxiety's Moment," impressed me upon first hearing it about 40 years ago.  It took a Baroque-sounding melody, modernized it for the early '70s, and the horn section, in just one minute, conveyed the gripping tension of making a life-changing decision, possibly such as proposing to someone.  This morning, while hearing it in shuffle mode, the angst of "Anxiety's Moment" mounted and then segued abruptly into...

...a tasteful version of "Good King Wenceslas" by Empire Brass.  Well, both tracks feature strong brass ensembles, at least.
