yeah i hear you - but what about if the artists or labels stick to a certain amount of killer tracks and then go off the beaten track a bit and put in some of their 'experimental' stuff in for instance. Im sure people will download but if the runs are limited it will put more prestige and "collector" value on the original copy of the CD - artwork n'all ?!! They could make these mixes more experimental with only their own tracks or tracks from their labels ? I have read so many times in different DAVE interviews (for instance) about his hip-hop beats and other stuff he makes apart from techno, but ive never heard it - these CDs could be a way to highlight other stuff - get it out there to the people before moving on and making better stuff. The CDs dont have to be floor filler after floor filler, just as long as the DJs got the talkover on with the "buck you down self absorbed techno superstars" shout outs on!!! Think more 2 many DJs stylee for the mix tape war circuit. They could even have little skits of self absorbed techno DJ getting a dressing down from his agent about wearing a pony tail ?!!
