Hop comps and likewise a forgettable album which, by the way, doesn't even sound like the same artist as the comp tracks.

impressed by a comp track and totally disappointed in the full length. as an artist who may have done this to some listeners, i have this defense: compilation tracks can be seen as both a chance to get attention and a chance to experiment with things you might not normally do. some artists (like us) have broad enough styles that can shift around a bit. it depending on where we were artistically at the time, and the nature of the compilation. some tracks were very representative of things we've done on albums. others were appropriate for more experimantal comps and/or we didn't have a lot of time to write a more conventional song before the deadline. i know this may sometimes confuse or disappoint people when they want to pick up an album, but...oh well. try before you buy is my motto anyway. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
