Every composer has a few tunes that they especially like amongst their works. I'm no exception. This is my personal top 60-whatever favorite tunes.
Of course, any creator's favorite piece is usually the one he has just finished, or at the very least, a recent one. So I generally don't update this list very regularly. Which is why there are more than 60 nominated tunes in the category. Honestly, I agonise over every track that gets bumped from the list so much that it's generally easier just to let the list grow. And grow. And Grow!
The situation isn't helped by the fact that I can no longer listen to the old Awe-32 tunes as they were; that means that back-to-back comparisons are no longer possible. I'm comparing nostalgia-tinted memories with current works - and that's not a fair comparison, either way.
I deliberately have not just repeated the information provided elsewhere on these pages. This is just a list of my favorites, in their order of completion. While there is a link to let you download each track, if you want to read the liner notes, you will have to click on the link on the far right of the column, which will take you to the page containing that track.
