Magic and Music: Esper (White-Blue-Black)

http://www.lala.com/#memberplaylist/47893P81263/

My music library skews Esper anyway; this wasn't hard for me at all. The Esper wanted to turn themselves to artifacts to be immortal, so they mechanized themselves as much as is feasible. Let's see...music that sounds as mechanistic as is feasible? Yep, got that under control. It's important for flavor, however, to note that the Esper largely were humans who made the choice to do this to themselves. There's an emotion, even if it's a cold one, in choosing to be part-machine, and this separates the Esper from their brethren in Mirrodin who were in fact machines. There's color to these artifacts (literally), and so while their ideal world is machine, there's a human side that shouldn't be overlooked. This is how the final song, Cardamar's "Steam," justifies its presence on the disc. Esper wasn't where machines ran everything; it's where humans ran machines. I'm repeating myself, but it changes what music you throw together out of the loads of techno that feasibly could be Esper.

The order is:
White Dimir (ordered, precise, and dark)
Black Azorius (explains itself)
Blue Orzhov (only one song like that on here; hard to define)
