In Both Darkness and Dreams: Mix for Chair by Dreamy

In Both Darkness and Dreams: A Mix for Dream Deep's Chair

Okay, so I am a sucker for Chair, and for Shan. This is the third mix I've made, basically because it's awesome. This mix should really be called Songs for Shan to Dance To. Here's to you, Dreamy-Dahling.

I've uploaded the songs into zips, two for each size, to keep the downloading time down. If there are any problems, please tell me.

Enjoy,

Cal.
