h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Interesting list, but I can't believe Julia Dream was omitted! The perfect companion piece to Cirrus Minor, and the best track on Relics.

Ah, yes, Julia Dream. I've been road testing this selection for a few months, with various other songs included, and Julia Dream was one of them... but it didn't work somehow. It's actually a bit too kind of psychedelic to fit in, really. But that's my opinion after trying it out. The record company may feel differently (see recommendation for Julia Dream on other thread)...

I agree - I think Julia Dream is too psychedelic. It seems more of a night time song than a summer's afternoon, early evening song.

I would love to see a compilation of those songs come out (save me buying up some albums i no longer own). Someone mentioned a record company. Is that just a pipedream?

My suggestion is to remove "If" and leave the rest as-is. This will make a perfect track list. The transition from "Grantchester Meadows" to "A Pillow Of Winds" is just perfect, as well as "Wish You Were Here" being a nice closer to the CD.
