Rick,
     I think this was important from a technical point of view more during the LP era. When cutting a side it helps to put something more subdued at the end of a side to get better quality on the last cut & better level throughout the entire side (space could be "made up" at the end of a side). On digital media this is no longer a factor at all.
 
    This opens up all sorts of artistic possibilities for the CD artist. A story can truely be told throuh song sequencing. I worked on a Joe Jackson CD "Blaze Of Glory" where the artist wrote in the liner notes:"This album is intended to be heard as two continuous sequences of six songs. Starting points for each track have been inserted at the most musically logical points, however endings will tend to come during musical transitions........etc.
 
    Flow of the music should be considered before mastering. It's just too complex a concept to have tossed away casually at the last moment. Not that this hasn't happened. I believe a project can benefit greatly from a artistic flow of the program from beginning to end & this can really add to the listener's enjoyment.
