COMPILATIONS: The Essential 100 2011 - LISTEN


'The Essential 100: 2011' is a 100 track, 6 CD compilation of 2011's best tracks.

Every year since 1997 I have created annual compilations of the year's best tracks, with the exception of the years in between 2004 and 2009. In 2010 I returned to my yearly compilation making and decided upon changing my yearly best of format to a 'Top 100' compilation. The running order of the compilation is not a countdown, chart or ordered list of the top 100, I just put the songs where they sounded best across the 6 CDs.
