Per Matt's Moodymann mix cd comment about tracks being under 3 minutes etc.:
Unfortunately when making compilations very few labels want just 3 minutes of a track to be on the cd. Most mixed cd compilations from labels (read: the label has asked the artist to mix the tracks for a compilation example: Miguel Migs for Naked Music, or David Alvarado for Guidance, or Nick Holder etc.) will showcase the tracks and not the artist mixing them. This means that the tracks are usually full length, and mixed into and out of quickly (ie 30 second mixes are usually considered long mixes). The best mix compilations are done by artists (not labels, ie Laurent Garnier Laboratoire Mixes) or magazines (Mixmag) where the labels aren't really involved. todd Jonny McIntosh wrote: > > Also, does anyone have tracklistings for the upcoming > > Jedi Knights CD retrospective (hope it has some old > > EV/SYM stuff, don't you?) and the new Moodymann CD? > > I've heard the Moodymann CD's more of a retrospective.
