    Well, as for myself...I have been spending big bucks picking up out-of-print
    stuff and backcatalogue titles...it seems the only new discs coming out have
    either "Mixed By...", "Ibiza", or "Global Underground" in the title...some
    even have all three! Big deal! Mix discs are fine, but can someone tell me
    why Oakenfold and Sasha need to have 15 each, when their sets all sound
    identical? I honestly could care less about the so-called "biz"...their
    sales projections and profits reflect little of what is happening in the
    independent scene, which is where the real music is created....sorry for the
    rant! :)
