and i reply: this would be a dandy justification except for the fact that moonshine music (as far as I know) ain't doing vinyl. it's just CDs. and there aren't that many underground dance music DJs using CDs - I only know of Pete Ashdown. so, again i ask, does this disc need to exist? i don't think so! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hey, come on now... I don't want to start the infamous cd vs. vinyl debate again, but I spin on CD and vinyl, and if I can get a compilation in CD format I prefer it to vinyl. It's much more portable, less easily damaged, and contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of DJs that use CDs. I suppose sales are the only thing that will tell the record companies if CD comps like this need to exist, but take a look at remix services like Twitch. All their releases are available on CD as well. What's more, they're not really designed for listening to in a private setting. They've been eq'd for club sound systems (i.e. maximum bass) and each song begins right on the beat, thus eliminating the need for a DJ to 'cue' the song to the beat. All you have to do is match pitch and you're set. I think more and more now there is a need for good underground dance compilations on CD.

neither do i. i use CDs for listening, vinyl for DJing.

well, i can only go by what i see - and what i see in *this* town is that there are NO club/rave DJs who use CDs.

aha! bad move, bringing Twitch into it, as i have been living for the past 18 months with the guy who started Twitch. the reason they made CD releases at all was because they made money - more money than the vinyl issues. the vinyl was designed for optimum DJ-ability, obviously, with easy to work intros & outros. no special EQing was done on any of the tracks - at least, none of the ones Mike worked on. maybe they beefed it up in the mastering - i dunno. i think you're probably imagining it. anyway, the CDs were made by simply copying the masters onto different DATs and sending them to CD pressing places instead of vinyl pressing places. and as I said, it was purely done as a money-making deal.

well, i'd rather see it stratified into "DJ-oriented CD comps" and "listener oriented CD comps" - i really can't see too many ordinary people getting off on The Point Of No Return. if I was a DJ, however, I'd be very into it.
