Comments Overall: A variety CD produced by the Open House Arts Collective in 2009 featuring tracks by a wide variety of London musicians in a variety of genres
1. Sleep is Nothing (by Davita G.), 3:01 - One woman and her guitar, upbeat, a tale of living on the road, hitchhiking, and meeting people
2. Unimaginable (by The Lava Lamps), 3:13 - Energetic, lively, rock-n-roll, upbeat singing in the background, fades out at the end
3. Sidewalks (by A Horse and His Boy), 3:52 - Starts slowly with synthetic noises, picks up gradually, surreal in places, breaks and fades out at the end
4. A Condition of Body and Mind (by The State Bird of Idaho), 2:32 - Elegant, melodic, folksey, picks up a little at 0:43, danceable, excellent composition, fades away at the end
5. For Love or Money (by For Love or Money), 3:37 - Calm, quiet, folksey, a love story in the countryside, fades away at the end
6. Almost Done (by Aaron Lozynsky), 2:28 - Begins with harmonica, a lament from a man who's being sent to jail "almost done, and I ain't gunna see these pretty girls no more", harmonica heavy, rough gutteral vocals
7. Curse of the Sleeping Bear (by Bryan Pole), 4:50 - Slow, quiet, bizzare, surreal, a tale of a man who rents a cursed apartment in a big city, unsettling ending
8. 1906 (by The Late Miss Mary Kingsley), 2:06 - Simple, quiet, record static in the background, fades out at the end
9. Tidal Wave (by Whipping Wave), 5:25 - Begins strong, rock & roll, orchestral feel in places, excellent instrumentation, fades out at the end
10. Rain On (by Sam Allen), 3:30 - Begins with guitar, raw, rock & roll with a country influence, slow and intense, ends abruptly
11. The Samuel Musical (by The Samuel Musical), 6:17 - Begins with piano, slow, haunting, lonely, draws you in and doesn't let you go, magnificent violin, fades away at the end
12. The Decline (by Olenka & the Autumn Lovers), 2:47 - Simple, elegant, heartbreaking, "if I've gotta hit the ground, I guess I'll try to have a good time in the decline", defiant and picks up dramatically towards the end, ends abruptly
