This is true, and don't get me wrong, the tracks that did have some of the poorer production are probably my favorite tracks on the album(s) [I am referring to both your last Muziq and Kid Spatula albums]. You are dead on.

That definitely explains it, as I assumed some of the tracks were plopped down on a pewt of some sort and sequenced, or sequenced from the getgo, which makes things very easy to manage. There's a lot of soft synth stuff out there (in the same texture zone as Jega, though not even near as talented, btw, sign Dylan for life... he's fucking brilliant) that just is lacking in mixing quality as well, and that can be rectified. No excuses.

Got it already. Great hardcore to throw on while I'm smoking crack (that was figurative). That's a fucking great anagram alias, too. -mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
