Listening two albums in alternation

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a component that allows to hear two different album in alternation.

Let's say you have for instance an album of reggae, and one of rock.
Then you'd have automatically a playlist :
1- track of reggae
2- track of rock
3- track of reggae
4- track of rock
5- track of reggae
6- etc...

I know you can manually create the playlist, but with huge albums that would be fastidious.
And if I randomize a full playlist of two albums, unfortunately the randomization is not enough good,
I have lot of track of the same album, before I switch to the other .
Any component that would allow to automate this ?
Thanks .

if your 'reggae' and 'rock' terms are metadata - foo_random

Will try, thanks.

edit: well, it's a bit annoying that it rely on media library.
edit 2: foo_random seem to only search tracks that match a particular pattern, so I  don't see how with  foo_random, what I've asked could be realized.

My reference to foo_random requires much effort compared to above response.

Interesting solution.
Now I  have to tag by genre , thing that I  usually omit.
Using album  title instead of genre, doesn't work if I  use lot of albums, with that solution.
