A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! 5:4 is four years old today, and as in previous years, here’s a new mixtape showcasing the music from my best albums of 2011. One track from each of them—in total, 3½ hours of eclectica to start the new year in real sonic style. Do, please, support all the artists if you like what you hear (and you will!); links to buy their excellent music are included on the previous few days’ posts.

The Mix Tapes are designed to be listened to as a seamless mix, so i don't provide timings for the tracks • i've just had a listen, & at around 2:02:00 mark, the mix moves between these two tracks:
• Akita / Gustafsson / O'Rourke – Two Bird [excerpt] (from One Bird Two Bird)
• Tartar Lamb II – Polyimage of Known Exits: 3rd Movement [excerpt] (from Polyimage of Known Exits)
Do you think you could add the time where each tracks begins ? I'm having trouble knowing what's playing at 2:02:00 and further…
Wonderful stuff! Thanks for bothering.
