"This Thursday, January 31st, BBC Radio 4 in the UK are broadcasting 'The Art
Of
Sequencing' at 11:30am UK time. Guy Garvey from Elbow considers the
challenge of
turning a collection of songs into a coherent single piece of
art, and how this
has changed in the days of downloading single
tracks.

Reading the chapters of a novel in the wrong order would be a
strange thing to
do, but is the running order of an album still important now
that you can easily
create your own playlists?

Pink Floyd felt so
strongly that classic albums such as The Dark Side of the
Moon and Wish You
Were Here should be heard as complete works that they took
their record
company to court in an attempt to retain their artistic integrity.
Nick
Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer talks about the court case and sequencing
the
Floyd's albums.

Garvey has strong opinions about the integrity of
an album's sequencing, and
elsewhere in the programme he talks to Peter
Hammill about sequencing on his
solo albums and with his prog rock band Van
der Graaf Generator."
