# Shogun Theory Vol 1 %% give a short description of the playlist %% > [!info] Description > This is one of the first playlists I put on [Designers.mx](https://www.designers.mx/?sort-desc=created-on) back in 2011/2012 ![Artwork for ‘Shogun Theory’ by Taurean Bryant, featuring a samurai in traditional armor with a bold text overlay.](shoguntheoryvol1.png) I think what is so interesting about this playlist and [[Shogun Theory Vol 2|"Vol 2"]] is just how much influence where I was working at the time had on me. I was only there for about 11 months and had I made these playlists before joining or 6 months after joining I suspect these would have looked very different. _Hell_, I think one of the songs from "Vol 2" came from an album[^shabba] that was one of the ad campaigns we did while I was there. --- ## Tracklist: %% I recommend the format: 1.
