Do you ever get bored of organising your music collection in alphabetical order? Me too. Then why not try something different and organise them by virtue of the electromagnetic spectrum!?

It's such an exciting idea that I've started already! People put a lot of psychology into colours, so I've included examples of what these colours are supposed to represent. You can decide if that's what they were really going for with they chose such colours for an album... or not.
