Track 2 from Mezzanine

Year: 1998
Track Description:
Anyone who listens to the end of the previous song and the beginning of this one will see what I did here. I really wanted the cd to flow well more than anything as I'm really not that up to date on the newest, hippest tracks for cds like this.

Track 1 from Z
Length: 00:04:12
Year: 2005
Track Description:
I think with this track and the ones immediately before and after it, the cd slows down alot and takes a groovy sort of late night turn. I love the 'wordless chorus' on this track. He really belts out those soulful notes with the best of 'em.

Track 9 from Echoes

Year: 2003
Track Description:
The other super kick ass song off the Rapture's 2003 masterpiece, Sister Savior is infectious disco fun and one of the more unabashed get-up-and-dance songs which I felt obligated to include on the album if it was to reflect my ludicrous personality.

I always enjoyed this throwaway interlude, which I basically just stuck in to transition to the next track. I actually purposely looked for interludes to stick on this cd cause I knew I'd need them - this was one of the first that came to mind.
