Amarok by Mike Oldfield has been one of my favorite albums since it came out in 1990. This recording is stunningly dynamic and creative with delicious stereo imaging, however, it is a single one hour long track. In order to jump to favorite sections and skip strident sections more easily, I recently created a cue sheet to reburn it with indexes, using a wave editor to find zero crossing points.

Here is a first draft, perhaps at some point I may do a revision.

Heh, oh well. Great minds think alike. I'll have to compare indexing.
