not if you aren't a trainspotter or have a friend who is. most of those tracks, especially the out of print ones are known.. even on this list for a while and a big AFX fan, I didn't even know about the Blue Calx track (not the one on SAW2, well yes, but not Blue Calx by Blue Calx :) and the Soit-PP track or pseudonym..

I agree here that stuff as easily available as On (which I think he meant On Remixes btw, which is DAMN hard to find unless you make a special order from Warp, or when WarpMart comes out it will be easy.) should not be on the compilation. The remixes are on there because "[we] don't want to buy the whole crappy cd for one track." which I guess is justified, I'm not sure, and could care less if it is really :)

probably some simple thing (unless he's a gfx designer or good at that kind of stuff) printed out on an inkjet printer (hopefully not a dot matrix :D) I myself have an inkjet printer and it makes damn good printings, it even competes with laser, for the price.. I've myself made tape covers and cd covers (I made a cd cover for the ltd. edition of FSOL and put it in a standard case so the cardboard case wouldn't get messed up) and they look damn good, except if you print it on regular print paper like I did, it's kinda flimsy and doesn't look good, but if he prints it on high-gloss inkjet paper it will look near-laser quality, depending on how many DPI the printer is.

I reckon nobody has it, or wants to contribute it.. for sure I know that it's the accepted theory among many ppl that Q-Chastic (the ep at least) doesn't even exist. the track is available on some compilation. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ , m7=
