Martin, you've been a gem (as has everyone else). With contributions from work ppl I have enough for 2 CDs, which is great. We're launching something on Monday with a 'journey' theme and we want some music to be playing all day in the canteen.

Perhaps having done that series of weather conceptual-mixes, I might do a series of travel-related ones next - cars, trains, flying, places, something like that.
