Well, I just want to say that from my point of view the more tracks the better, I really hope that a nice varied selection of styles will serve 3 functions
1. To cast a wide net, making the compilation have something for everyone, therefore plenty of sales
2. To help people discover music they may not have encountered before and broaden horizons, something that I feel is very much in the spirit of this forum.
3. Adding value, we already know the quality will be high, so quantity is a double whammy.
Of course I hope that we can gain sales from outside of this community too
Further to this, I don't think it would be fair to exclude any tracks, it would be a bit of a faceslap for someone to go to the effort of recording a piece only for it to be rejected, besides since we are not doing a physical release I see no valid reason for limiting the number of tracks - Tarekith has stepped up to the mammoth mastering task, so as I can personally attest to the finished job will be top notch.
Nils and PT - I'm really chuffed you both got tracks done, I really struggled myself too, in the end I scrapped 8 tries, instead I ended up doing a monomachine only piece that I felt reflected my feelings. Previous efforts were OT pieces that were more technical but I felt less suitable.
I think we are at around 27 tracks so far!
