The idea behind the sequence would be to move from a remote barely human world of the past to highly human but electronically (and mildly) distorted personal experience, and finally to the almost superhuman world of perhaps the most perfect variations on a ground ever written.
Anything by the unsung genius of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Delia Derbyshire would be great to start with. I’m sure the archive must be full of her wonders, but the haunting reimagining of ancient Egypt is as good a gem as any. Other tantalising clips are ready to hand on the website devoted to her memory.

The unearthly soundworld she creates would modulate into the queasy distortions used by Sheryl Crow and Jeff Trott in ‘The Book’ to evoke the experience of having one’s life stolen by a vampiric novelist.
To conclude, a rendition of a classic organ work that’s never been bettered by an organist. There’s a fuzzy halo on this, (or is it just my equipment?) that could sound like a harking back to the previous tracks, and heightens the intensity of the performance.

I admit this has been played on LJ before, but how could anyone hear too much of this amazing mixture of guitar sonorities and contrapuntal mastery?
If you weren't keen on the Crow, anything from the excellent third album by Tango Siempre would be great to hear - eg. the title track, 'Tangled' composed by Hugh Warren. This is not just another tango band - they are pushing the tangolope as far as it will go. More info on www.tangomusic.com
