In late January this year, composer James Black's album Music Is Not Always Participatory was released – an album that is festooned with Black’s musical fingerprints – Roman Catholic hymnody, computer game music, 'a kind of techno-pagan trash-folk'.

To mark the release of Music Is Not Always Participatory, Dacapo Records invited James Black to curate a playlist of their musical influences. The playlist is a mix of past and present, pop and classical – and just like the album, showcases James' eclectic approach to music.
