VA - And In The End...Great Closing Tracks Vol. 02 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

The art of album sequencing is an ephemeral thing. Figuring out the strongest way to begin an album can be a challenge, but to decide the proper way to conclude a group of songs is equally important. A great album can finish any number of ways, with a slow, quiet, mellow, meditative and somber farewell, on a powerful epic that goes out with a bang.  Do you remember when the last track on an album would finish, and you’d wish the music would just never end? 

An album's closing track is almost as essential as the opening one. Just as an album's opening song plays a pivotal part in a record's cycle, the closing track serves a similar and not totally unrelated purpose. The final song is a summation of an album's musical and thematic themes, a final word on what we just listened to. A closing track can be some of the biggest highlights on an album where many artists offered up their best for last. A closing number can leave you exhilarated and wanting more, or it can be the sign of what's coming next.

I have created 3 volumes each containing 60 tracks dedicated to how to finish an album in style. 

This is Volume 2 and each track is a pivotal last track on an album making you want to hit “play” again immediately.

Enjoy.
