The Mystery
SUSHI-X-2000-05
February, 2000

I made this one for Maria in February 2000. It's probaby one of my favorites of all the ones I've made. It was a mood CD more than anything, about dreams and love. I can still play it on a weekly basis and not get tired of it. I remember playing it for Maria in her car as we drove around Detroit during my visit that February.

Some of my favorite songs on here are the ones by the Pretenders, "Stardust" by Nat King Cole, and "Life in a Northern Town" by the Dream Academy. The Ricky Martin song works very well here. And the Dick Hyman pieces from Moonstruck do, too.

A sorta-kinda sequel to this CD also exists: The Wonder.
