Yeah, but keep in mind that many of these tracks are "rare and unreleased" - not exactly album
material perhaps, but good compilation material :)

I thought the lexaunculpt track on md2 was the worst track on the whole compilation. I've heard much
better from lexaunculpt like the tracks on the 'bliss tech' and 'cashier escape route' comps.

for me, md1 introduced me to many great "unsigned" acts that i'd never heard before. since hearing
md1, I've bought at least one release by every artist featured on the comp. That's a lot of really
good music that I probably wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise.
anyway, two great comps. from n5md. can't wait for the proem minidisc.
