Subject: Sampler Suggestion, etc.
I mean no disrespect to Ben List, as everyone speaks incredibly highly of
his design talents, but there are other designers on this list (ME!) who
would like to take a crack at the cover, too. So...
I'd like to suggest something along the lines of what the IDM list did with
their project, _Threadz_. One very cool member of the list developed a web
site which detailed the progress of the project. Cover submission graphics
were uploaded and people voted on their favorite designs. The same could be
done for the names, soundbites of tracks, etc.
Now, onto the music...
Anybody else feel the comps coming out today are getting a little too
scattered. Future Sound of Jazz on Compost has quality tracks (Esp. Shantel
-- anyone have any more info on him/her/them?) but I don't know if Wagon
Christ, for instance, really belongs. Neither did I feel Wagon Christ
(sorry to keep picking on him) fit into the Macro Dub Infection line-up.
Just an observation, which I'll readily contradict by saying I sincerely
hope there's room for all styles on the AJ comp, though.
