it's great to find someone willing to A/B/X test their own work. My hat is off to you guys!! FWIW, playback should be done on a neutral(not one of your) system.

I agree completely, which is why I suggested the shop, though I'm happy to do it at any neutral site.   Any judge who wants to host this party is cool with me.

After this is over I will put my files on a host site for anyone who wants to hear them.   I can't speak for bj, though.

I probably won't put mine online; primarily because I'm too lazy :P.  But F'n Brit, I can definitely forward a copy your way.

"O" yea I forgot that you where a lazy bastard, we all had to nag you a CF13 to get anything done.

Looking forward to getting your tunes sent to me, so I can check them both out myself.

As I understand it, we are waiting for Tom to choose an album and get it to bj (unless he has done that and I am unaware).

Not yet. He's still choosing. I've been busy as hell, so I haven't been in touch in a few days. I should know more tomorrow.

Tom is scrounging around for a lousy elevator music lp that was played with a nail and smells like mold and vomit.  He want's to see who can work through the pain and turn a sowl's ear into a masterpiece.

Well, he should get something out of the deal, being our host and all.

A four disc set that sounds perfectly good on it's CD issue?   And a live album to boot?   Crowd noise, etc will get in the way of showing our work.   If bj is agreeable to it, I will be also, but I don't think it is a very good choice.   Seems an awful lot of effort for (I strongly suspect) very minimal return.

Hell no I'm not doing pulse. I was more hoping we would just do one song. Like mark said, it's too much work for no return. I don't have time for that, and I doubt mark does either. In other words, f**k that shit.

I won't go as far as to say "one song", but I will strongly request a single album of studio material.   Again, one that hasn't appeared on CD would be great.   There are lots of 'em out there.
