Listen to "Landing Softly on the Rail" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, F minor, Ableton Live 9.0.5, 6 Ableton sample references, samples including Calvin Harris Ft Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love (Studio Acapella)-2.wav. "Landing Softly on the Rail" is part of James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system rather than a literal one-to-one citation on this page. The connection is to the way Crowley's fiction handles world-building, layered time, memory, houses, thresholds, and hidden structure. Crowley was Pollack's writing advisor at Yale, so these titles also mark a personal artistic lineage, not only a literary reference.
