Bit of both, I thought, but I might be wrong.

It is a locked groove record though. The mix CD was one long mix, but the vinyl was concentric grooves.

But they aren't exactly a whole piece of music, a standout track, cut up into instrument level parts, on a cd in wav format ready for raping.
I think my point is that it's giving you loops rather than whole tracks, so you could see them more as a DJ tool for "constructing" a set rather than just playing tracks... which is only a hop skip & a jump away from loading all the loops into Ableton and mixing them that way... and why not add your own stuff hile you're at it. These kind of ideas are only just starting to form in people's heads.

Stigmata Loops 1 (on Juno)
Stigmata Loops 2 (on Juno)

Same kind of deal really.

Maybe. Who knows.

I always give people CDs when I can.
