My mix should be really to be downloaded tonight if anyone is interested, it's standing at 18 tracks at the moment... although I'm not sure if that'll be the final number or not. It's flowing pretty well at least! (imo)

I'll post the download location in a few hours...

man this exchange is awesome just because of the potential to get way more mixes than you signed up for
yea, this digital exchange stuff is pretty cool. and then most participants have mixes to expect in the mail, as well.

fart last fall: "hey let's exchange mixes digitally. that make 10x more sense than sending cds through the mail!"

everyone else last fall: "what? downloading music? that'll never catch on!"

FART IS RIGHT. BOW DOWN TO FART

Okay, I ran into a bit of a problem with my mixes.

Turns out I don't have any CD-Rs.

If I can't find any friends willing to part with three blank CDs, I'm heading out to the mall or best buy tomorrow evening, so the mixes will be sent out Thursday.

hey dormer, can we get an m3u
get this - the kid is on a mac, so he doesn't know how to make one! ha!

i made one for him though, but i haven't had the time to send it. i'll get it to him once i get home from the office.

Just thought I'd mention I put a .m3u file in the rar file :p

Also, there was so much I wanted to fit into the mix, particularly from those same artists I've used, so I think I'm going to do a "B-Side" with different tracks from those artists (wit some variation/additions)

I'll work on that tomorrow, it's way too late to start now :(

Haha BuddyC, listening to CD2 of your mix just now and Sex (I'm A) on your mix is just a BIT different to my Sex (I'm A)!

ok i lied probably early next week i'll mail my mixes out. i'm still listening to them, i'm already going to change at least 2 of them.

Heh, the more you listen to them the more you might second guess them needlessly. I know these songs already, so if I listen to them a ton they might feel stale to me, while other people would love them. I just listened to the mixes once, and sent them out with confidence in them :)

My mixes should arrive shortly. Riz, 8Bit, etc...I put a lot of effort into them, and it cost quite a bit to mail to Switzerland (8 bit) I trust you guys will send your mixes before the deadline...

Are we the only two, out of 25+, that have sent their mixes out? Or are the rest of the people just not posting about it.

i hope they're just not posting about it

but either way i wouldn't really care that much because i already have a bunch of mixes from the digital exchange group

I'm still getting my mix put together and hope to have it out by the suggested deadline of July 30th. The absolute last minute deadline was set as August 14th, so folks still have a fair amount of time to throw everything together.

I got one of my group's mixes(Haven't gotten to listening to the whole thing yet, let alone reviewing it), I'm still working on sending mine out.

I sent my mixes out early last week. Haven't received anything yet, though, or heard anything from the other members. I think Archaix, who stated he got one of his groups' mixes, is referring to the one I sent out.

*Actually, Jim Bowie did e-mail us stating he would be getting his mixes out asap. Thanks for the update, Jim Bowie!

Update work has been killing me these past few weeks but if i get sometime i'm gonna see if i cant drop mine off next week at UPS but they will be out before 14th thats for sure. I'm sorry about this. Busy 12 hour days are going to drive me insane.

spangler-Is yours the Gainesville one? That's the one I got. I've had my tracklist finalized, I just can't get ahold of any CD-Rs, and my printer is broken. As of right now, if I can find a way to buy some blank CDs/borrow from a friend, I think I'm going with the "Ken's Damn Printer Sucks" LP
 
Two CDs done. Third CD will be done in a couple of hours.

I lied various times in this thread. That ends here!

I have actually made about two other CDs, but their quality did not impress me.
 
All done. I'll mail them tomorrow.

I did three mixes, and will just sound out whatever to whomever -- on a whim. All three of you guys seem to want to listen to whatever, so you'll get whatever! One CD, I must say, was made while I was a little weird-minded. But don't you mind.

i just got hotarubi's disc in the mail today.

awesome cover, and a tracklist that i only know like 40% of, so it's guaranteed to be a fun listen. hotarubi's discs were kickass last time, so it'll probably rock.
 
saint cornelius -- Future Funk Since '73

Very nice packaging on his. Kind of makes me feel ashamed of what I sent people, but it'll do. He also included lyrics for every track that has lyrics. Nice. Me, I just scribbled nigh-unreadable stuff down. I'm sorry. :(

Cappo - Spaz the World: Very good. Has a very raw sound. Thanks to Saint Cornelius's lyrics booklet, I can understand what he's saying. I've never heard of this guy, but does he happen to be British? I don't listen to much rap -- I listen to some; and no, not Jurassic 5 -- but I looked him up and it doesn't seem he's got much hold over the US market. 7/10

M83 - Run Into Flowers (Abstrakt Keal Angram remix): Glitch whatever music. I love it. I like Prefuse 73 a lot, and this reminds me of that. 9/10

Prefuse 73 - Kev Intro '99 : Logical progression from the last track. Like this a lot. Great, but not when you've got a headache. 9/10

The Weather - Exaggerated Joy: In my opinion, another great track considering what's preceding. Never heard of these/this guys/guy, but I'm definitely very interested. I like the samples; I like the singing(?). I like the beat. Very good. I definitely want to hear more. 8/10

Pest - Dr. Ums: Again, very similar in tone and sound to the last few tracks. You've done a great job with that. The intro to the song is a bit overlong maybe, but once it gets going, I really like what I hear. I like the way the guy flows, and the beat is pretty good. Again, I'd definitely like to hear more. 9/10

People Under the Stairs - Code Check: Don't like this. Too simplistic for me. Sounds too much like that feel-good stuff a group like Jurassic 5 would put out. But again, I'm not a very good authority on this sort of music. 4/10

The Latin Project - Lei Lo Lai: I'm not a very big fan of merengue -- having grown up around it. I like the music it's layered over. I mean, I'm assuming that's not the original track. If it is, stupid me. My mom likes this, though. And you know what, even though I'm not the biggest fan of this sort of music, it's making me feel pretty good. Like I said before, I like the music it's layered over; it'd make for very good driving music by itself. Although -- a big disclaimer -- it's basically a step up from elevator music, aside from the horns (typical instruments for this sort of music). 6/10

Ugly Duckling - A Little Salsa (P.U.T.S. remix): Blah. Sounds corny. I can't get over the "This is just a little salsa" line. And like the People Under the Stairs track, it just sounds a little too fluffy for me. The lyrics suck, too. In fact, there's this one part where it sounds like that Juvenile track where he goes, "Where she get that ass from? She get it from her mama!" I don't like the beat or the music, either. 3/10.

Dabrye - The Lish: Like Prefuse and M83, IMO. I just really like this sort of music. I wouldn't even know if it were uninspired, though, because I'm just sort of enamored with the sound. It's very entrancing. Whatever the case, I like this track a lot. I like the sax. Very smooth. I wouldn't listen to it if I had a headache, though! 8/10

Nettle - Gutted (Mehmet Irdel remix): It's okay. Nothing special, but it goes along with the tone of earlier tracks. If you like dnb, this may be pretty serviceable. 6/10

Jay-Z vs. The Beatles - Dirt Off Your Shoulder (DJ Danger Mouse remix): Hmm, I like this a lot. And I don't like Jay-Z at all. The music really complements his flow. Nice. The sad thing is, a friend of mine sent me this album a while ago. It's still just sitting there. But at least I now have a reason to check the rest out. Thanks, saint cornelius! 9/10

Amen Andrews - 1000001 Style: This is the sort of song you listen to twice and think it's fun, and then never want to listen to again. It's energetic, sure, but I can't find anything particularly innovative or interesting about it. I at least like that there are changes in the tempo of the song. Now that I think of it, this sounds like something you'd hear in Jet Set Radio. One of the songs you don't really pay attention to -- you just take for granted. 5/10

Blackalicious - Beyonder: I think Blackalicious is great. I like almost everything I've heard by them, and this is no exception. The best part is that it basically goes along with most of the tracks on this CD. I've found that a lot of this stuff sounds like it should be played primarily while you're driving at night. Excellent choice. The beat is great, the flow is great, I like the lyrics, and there's a certain depth to this track that I don't hear in a lot of other rap tracks. 9.5/10

HiM - Slow Slow Slow: This isn't the HIM I thought it was going to be, which is a great thing. Very good, and goes along with my feeling that your album is a mostly nighttime deal. I'll definitely try checking other stuff by these guys out. 8/10

Bugz in the Attic - Zombie 2003 (featuring Wunmi): Would be good without the "Bugz in the attic collect no static" thing going on in the background. That definitely halves my enjoyment of the song. I can't get past things like that. Because even though it goes away, anytime I'd want to hear this song I'd have to endure that cheesy stuff first. And then it comes back when you think they're done with that. "Oh yeah, yeah!" How about No. 4/10.

Droop Capone - Reign: OK, but just OK. 6/10.

Company Flow - Still Standin': This sounds kind of bad. I find the sound unpleasant, and it's boring. 2/10.

Ugly Duckling - Another Samba: Would've been fine without the rapping. I don't know anything about Ugly Ducking, but from what I've heard, they're just a little too cute for me. 4/10.

I may not have loved everything, but I heard a lot of things I've taken interest in. In the end, that's all that's really important. I won't give the actual collection of songs a score, but I, for the most part, enjoyed it. Even if I didn't enjoy some songs, it's always cool to hear something new.

Got your discs, mr. fifty. Looking interesting from a cursory glance, but no review until I get a chance to listen to them.
 
You rock so hard, mjq jazz bar. I'm honored that you took the time to review my disc.

I'll be doing the same for those of you who sent me stuff soon... just too much hecticness going on with life in general.

I found Hotarubi's mix waiting for me in the mail yesterday. I'll give it several listens and be back with a review before long. Woo!

FnordChan, still whiping his mix into shape
