A mix inspired by the journey of Orpheus to the underworld to save his love, Eurydice. The first half of the mix is about the underworld; passing dead souls; meeting Hades. The second part is about the song he sang; the one condition Hades gave; the last chance to save Eurydice; and the finale.

"Standing on flagstones of the sidewalk at the entrance to Hades
Orpheus hunched in a gust of wind
That tore at his coat, rolled past in waves of fog,
Tossed the leaves of the trees. The headlights of cars
Flared and dimmed in each succeeding wave.

He stopped at the glass-paneled door, uncertain
Whether he was strong enough for that ultimate trial..."
