Eh, you might have misunderstood the theme, but it's a fine mix. While the opening isn't really my taste, the middle of the mix, from Malajube to Ween, is great.

Not understanding the rules for a Pot Pourri mix, I believe this shouldn't be part of the contest. My apologies, I just assumed it was a mish-mash of styles all arranged into a coherent mix...
