UM Mix CD Discussion

i'm surprised you gave these such low marks... these are awesome tracks.

They weren't exactly low marks - I still think they're good songs. I was just saving the 4s and 5s for songs that seemed really extraordinary to me. I thought there was room for improvement on the ones you quoted.

I'm sure I'm open for attack on those comments, though, as I'm certainly not well-versed in any of those genres.
 
Omni, have you heard the Nachtmystium cover of Rose Clouds of Holocaust?

Yeah, it's actually really, really bad. I'm not sure why they did a cover of that song in such a boring and pointless way. The way they did it makes it into a mediocre black metal song, and it also manages to be unfaithful to the original while also lacking any type of forward-thinking ideas.

Omni, I would be very much interested in hearing this mix.

I'll send it to you now.
 
I'm thinking of hosting a compilation of pipe organ music for you guys. If any are interested I'll throw it together.

Yeah
I'm not too fond of it. Good to know the original is better.
 
I'm still open for an exchange. Since nothing much seems to be happening with another group effort, I'll put my name out there and if anyone wants to exchange mixes by rapidshare or the like, let me know. I tend to dabble in almost all styles of metal and non-metal so you can send me anything you want, and likewise you can request anything you need to hear more of.
 
Anyone interested in doing this again but via megaupload, mediafire or whatever. I think if we get everyone uploading mixes again we could all learn about a ton more music and shit.
 
Yes. Using megaupload for sure. And people should post their track list & link, and whoever wants to can check out whoever else's mix.
