Easily and it aint pretty. From what I understand, back when this series
first came out the artist was given the task of selecting which tracks they
wanted to appear on the compilation and then some asshole studio guy
sequenced the tracks together.
Later on in the series however, the person who's name was in the big letters
on the front of the CD was the one doing the mixing (like kruder &
Dorfmeister's mix and many others).
Of course-I could be wrong...but this is what I was told and have come to
understand as the truth.
