I'm being absolutely open about this one - it's composed entirely of selected tracks from the career of David Sylvian, from the late 1970's right up to 2005. I'll identify myself on the cover and hope that the recipient doesn't detest the entire thing. There is variety on there, from pop sounds to open form electronica compositions.

I hope it's a wise move, but I have reservations.

Thank you. I feel a little better now.

I especially hope that the track that lasts 38 minutes and 18 seconds isn't taking it too far! That said, if it was the same track being performed by Sonic Youth, with guitars, ala SYR6, it'd be popular enough I think.

Also, from my own point of view, I'd be happy to recieve a tape of one artist (otherwise I wouldn't enter one myself!) - if it were someone I was unaware of then it'd be a nice introduction and if it were someone I knew well it'd be a handy thing to have anyway.

Side one of my new tape is called Hate Your Girlfriend; side two, You've Got A Lot To Live For.

Ok, if Hip Priest is doing silly tapes, I'm also doing a silly tape. Mr Burns says: Excellent.

'Silly'? Mr Glice, whatever do you mean?

mine done and halfway thru my belated 1st tape. same shit, different sounds!
big up porky on yrs by the way, big up!!!!!

for the receiptient of mine, my printer is a bit fucked so a crappy b/w cover is all i can offer. the technicolour dreamtape will have to wait!!!!

And on yours too!I've been listening to it all evening now.Aceness in spades.Particularly liked,also,the detail in the design as i can appreciate things like that.

detail in design???
it took me about 3 mins to do that cover!!!!

just call me pollackbee

i also have an in built game in all my mixtapes or cdr comps. "play find the title in the music"
the title of that one is a little bit obvious (tapes title will always be a lyric from a track contained within) its something ive done for years.

i will do it this time. whens the deadline?

did i say i'm in? as long as i can paypal the money, i don't want to take my chances.

Paypal is fine. I'll pm you my email so you can send it.

cool, thanks man, hope this time it gets there.

i´m in this time.
I´ll try to put in some Austrain stuff as well if it fits in.

Bump, as it's in in 5 days and I haven't started yet.

Have the Yanks started recieving theirs from round 2 yet?

I have not. But the mail hasn't come yet today.

I'm also waiting on some CD's I ordered from this German girl, that has taken a lifetime for her to send.

i'm out for sure now.
i thought i could send a cd this time because my cassette player *only* wouldn't record, but as of last weekend it won't even play either. so i wouldn't be able to listen to a received tape.

I finished my tape yesterday. It should get mailed off some time this week.

mailed off mine today and the absent one from round 1 . keep it for round 4 if necessarry pookman....................

i sent mine on friday.

I've just this minute finished recording mine. I had a very limited part of my music collection to pick from, so it's very different from my previous two. It's also recorded on a gettoblaster instead of my stereo, so it's ended up very amateurish.

I've not sent the third one yet, I will this week.

And for the curious: I didn't get the second tape today, nor did I get my mail from Germany. Sad.

Ahh I will send my tape this week! Wait for my tape!

Mine will be sent in a day or two also. It'll be there by the end of the month, anyway.

Since posting that I've finished the tape, I've also finished the packaging. Whoever gets it, you'll never have seen anything like it before :)


EDIT - I've built it up too much now, haven't I? It's bound to be a disappointment...

After much debating with myself over the one-artist mixtape I'd made, I've decided to stick with it. So I'm posting later today. A Bit close to the deadline, but it'll be there soon.

I'll post it first thing in the morning. I have other things to do today, sadly. It's a blinder. I've gone with a theme. You'll all be happy to know that Germany is the most represented country and violins the most represented instrument.

I'm posting today. You'll know it's from me, lucky devil, if you get a tape titled "Hate Your Girlfriend" b/w "You've Got a lot to Live for". Comes complete with cover art.

Pookie, I posted my tape today, 1st class, so hopefully it should be in your hands soon. Sorry for the lateness. My tape is entitled 'Cheshire Cat'... because I live near Cheshire. Ish..

I'd prefer for it to be sent to the USA this time, if you coulddd. :]

Mine went today also. You'll know mine instantly, because it reeks of sheer fucking class.

I don't know if i'm in it for this round.I've had the tape ready for a while.

You still need to give my first tape a review, porky. Lest you forget, why not start now?

I like reading the reviews of other people's tapes.

Because i'm a bit crap at that.Do you know what?I listen to it more often than it takes strength to post an actual review.

So very confident! As you'll see in my rather long review of your tape. I'm not finished typing it. I've been typing it in Word this time, so that I don't delete a huge, long, time consuming post again. Its a double review, of yours and Glices.

I will send mine tomorrow, I think. What was the deadline?

Two days away officially, I think...

My round three tape is all David Sylvian-related stuff, so it must be great.

I want your tape.

Nine Horses = Brilliant

It's a super LP, isn't it? There's a Nine horses track on the tape. The obvious one really - Darkest Birds - because it's a great song. I put a 38 minute ambient piece on it too. Side two only has three tracks.
