This disc has three tracks on it that I found out about because I had a Pandora station that I kept adding songs to in an attempt to broaden my horizons. The songs were the playlist for disc 01 of this compilation; I figured that would be the most representative of things I liked for the purposes of my sonic gedankenexperiment. That's where I heard about Scruffy the Cat and Red Meat for the first time; I bought a CD from the former and just the track on this disc from the latter.
I eventually stopped using Pandora because they didn't mix things up really well. When I added "Shombalor" to the station I'd get doo wop for six or seven songs in a row followed by something else based on a different song. I like variety. Even on the discs that are all white guys with guitars they're at least performing in different genres.
"The Warrior's Code" has a bagpipe part that mimics the main melody from "Telstar".
