Pop Revolution Shuffle

Second time in recent shuffles that a track from Trout Mask Replica started off. But then, the minority pop music crowded consistently into the shuffle (seven of the first ten tracks — do we still call them tracks, I wonder?)

A bit strange that in a shuffle of twenty-five, there were three each from Genesis and Jethro Tull — from the same playlist, respectively.

The first movement from each of two different recordings of the Symphony of Psalms cropped up; made for an interesting comparison (Craft’s was the more relaxed).

And strewn through the shuffle, two consecutive Preludes-&-Fugues from Shostakovich’s Opus 87 (nos. 17 & 18).
