I just received my 3 copies of OoT2. Great!

Some of my friends and family like the mix / want to support me (I sell them non profit btw), so I might be ordering more of them soon. If I do I'll order one extra and ship it to the PO box of the masters themselves (unless someone objects with a good reason, hehe).

Robotanalysis, Boreal Network, Lithium Enchantment, and the Sinkfield tracks are also amazing! Also, Polar Sky's tracks totally remind me of both the 80's in general, and the early 90's mod scene, which I totally love! Such pure melodies!

Seriously killer compilation!

the early 90's mod/demo scene (in particular, artists such as skaven, lizardking, some purple motion... too many to list!) has a huge influence on lithium enchantment's melody and chord construction. i can imagine many of you have similar tastes or inclinations? you seem to have that same feel within frequent c.

music made on computers (especially modern trackers like buzz, renoise) has roots in early demoscene tracking. it's only natural to respect those who've paved the way for modern musicians.

I was totally into the demoscene about 7-8 years ago, I honestly almost only listened demoscene music. Went to demoparties, competed in multichannel compo's (with screamtracker 3). For me that was my path to electronic music, I probably wouldn't have gotten into ambient and IDM otherwise.

Downloads:
mp3 = 253
flac = 57

Last.fm full album plays = 12 (till 2 March)

Ordered:
OoT1 = 14
OoT2 = 18

Keep in mind that OoT1 and 2 are up on Last.fm in good quality.. I don't know how many times they have been downloaded over there.

Thanks for looking it up! Seems like it's a real success.

Btw Aesthetics and others, what do you think of mailing BoC a copy? I can send my spare one tomorrow if people think this is a good idea?

Go ahead Guido, I think non of the artists reject this??

Here is a nice quote from Myspace by Scott of Archaic Horizons.

To all those involved in OoT 2:
Thank you for creating such beautiful music. The quality of this second compilation exceeded all my expectations and is surely a lasting release. Not one song felt out of place. excellent compositional flow. a seamless master piece! Thank you!!

You totally hit the nail on the head. Future Crew forever!

yo polarsky, in 82 technological toys i'm sensing huge kraftwerk vibes.

I've listened to this a lot since it came out, it's great.

Off the top of my head, I really like the tracks: These Are My Children, Letting Go of Reality Completely, 82 Technological toys and the combination of Mini-Mall and Talega is awesome. I like every track on this though, there are probably some songs I really like that I'm forgetting.

Yes, I really liked the beat-matched mix from Mini-Mall, to my track. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from those that I have shared the compilation with. I have been posting it up in some electronic music blogs as well. I hope the BOC lads will have time to enjoy it with a nice cup of tea.
