This is a daft fanmix I'm throwing together in honour of
bogwitch's birthday. It is about Illyria! And in response to the prompt Illyria (and Vienna, in the sense that one of the songs comes from an album of that name). It is also spiky and a little bit difficult, but then what else do you expect?

Doomgirl - GHXST???
Hybrid - Siouxsie and the Bansheesyou're a misfit of me
I'm a misfit of you
Western Promise - Ultravoxmy western world gives out her hand
a victor's help to your fallen land
Transgender - Crystal Castlesnothing in place of catalysts
and you'll never be pure again
.
Basically, it's all about the rage of ancients coming on poor old Fred, not quite managing to find a good fit. Ultravox's bit about Western neocolonialism approaches the modern world's attack on what Illyria thinks of as her identity and then she comes face to face with her own compromised position. Enjoy!
