Overall, it's a very tight, well thought out compilation. I like how you've mixed the songs according to your "flow" and NOT chronological order. Makes for a more lively collection. I think you could replace a few songs -- Velvet Dress, Ground Beneath Her Feet and Your Blue Room -- but that's just my taste. I'm with Mrs. Darcy on the inclusion of Crumbs. I'd also suggest Wire and Ultraviolet, two high energy standouts your friend would probably love.

I love how October is given its full due in this compilation.
