[Genteel Death]

Community is overrated, but only because everything in the world is overrated. The ...sprawling, spewing morass known as The Internet takes the blame.

This compilation is a ping-pong of slow burns and quick freezes, creative enticements that celebrate imagination, effort, and courage. The Internet takes the blame here, as well.

There's good and bad in the puerility of the sugar-shocked, and the vulgarity of the whiskey-woozy. A self-deprecating shake of the head or the haughty crossing of arms. There's a time and a place. Flaws can, and do, flow.

Feeling a little disjointed? Don't you wish you did?

Exercise for the mind time: Imagine a shepherd tending to his flock by day and waking to discover every single sheep dead from prussic acid poisoning. Now imagine being the shepherd. Now imagine being one of the sheep. Having some difficulties? Listen to these songs and then try again, going as you wish from role to role. The point is not exactly what you feel as either sheep or shepherd, but that you are feeling in the first place. (The tidiest scenario I concocted was that involving myself as the shepherd overjoyed that they will no longer have to watch over dirty wool and anticipating the day I no longer suffer the auditory hallucinations brought on by their incessant baas.)

On or off the computer, the world is a cherry-picking pit with passion, intelligence and talent practically starving due to neglect. This album is a multi-course meal served out of order, but oh well, it's a goddamn sensory assault, it tastes good at best, interesting at worst, and everyone involved--from preparation to consumption--can be said to have lived just a little bit extra.

I see suckacock sounded too much like an actual song to be on the comp.

is there a way to see where the tracks start???

man... people are really scared to sing these days (only 3 or 4 people singing).

[Genteel Death]

You'd say that, although I agree with you.

[EVOLghost]

I thought Dead Air contributed too?

[Genteel Death]

No, he hasn't.

[Genteel Death]

Do I have to compose kinnwhatever's reply, or is that expected of me too?

I just listened to most of the comp and I think it sounds great! Good work Genteel and everyone who contributed.

[Genteel Death]

That's cool. Have you got any other thoughts about it?

yes... i find it hard to bounce around it. Where does one song end and the other begin? How do I know whose track I am listening to? Why not make the songs separate tracks then link them as a comp? was it for the sake of flow?

I agree that the flow is the most important but it would be nice if you could mark start and stop points.

Yes and no. Depends what you mean with such generalisations.

Have you got a pair of ears?

It is more obvious to you because you had the separate tracks. What if I want to quickly bounce to track 6?

[Genteel Death]

Why would I care? I'm a WAY more talented musician than you are. Got better stuff to do, now. Bye.

[EVOLghost]

SYRFox's track is.....fantastic,.

The fact that you didn't care was the point I guess.
