  1. Just to give an idea of the kind of stuff you'll find on this mix cd, it's primarily hip-hop, but it branches out into other halloween-related territory.

     

    You can find tracks by Juggaknots, Gorillaz, Cage, Hobo Junction, B Real, Binary Star and Beastie Boys, as well as artists like Michael Jackson, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Ray Parker Jr. and even Tim Curry makes his way into the mix.

  2. Well, got 50 copies of the CD in today, and boy does it look sweet! the printing co. i went with this time did a real tasty job on them... again, if anyone's interested in buying this mix, being that it's so close to halloween and all, i will express mail it to you at no extra charge just to make sure you get your disc in the mail before the witching hour. But order soon! Or I can't guarantee a pre-halloween arrival for you.

  3. can't say i've heard of him, sounds good though - i like signifys stuff a lot.  check me on soulseek (cheesebaron) and i'll swap you for some Derek B.

     

    Yeah, looks like his band released a new album too - about time! Pretty much guaranteed this album won't surface on p2p apps for a good 8-9 months, it's quite surprising this guy doesn't blow up like he should

     

    anyone listen to the first square circle album i posted the link to yet? thoughts, input? and my soulseek is on pretty much 24/7, so if you're gonna grab the tapes, they're all there

  4. Are these guys supposed to be some sort of sexual cult music or something?

     

    "The future is SA-RA..."

    "SA-RA Creative Partners is a collection of musicians, producers and executives from New York and Los Angeles"

    "Don't be afraid of our sound..."

     

    and they keep referring to themselves as "We" i.e. "We are so appreciative of your early support in having us on your radio show..."

     

    It's on some freaky alien religion shit... but it sounds pretty groovy... i'm just wondering about the story behind these guys

  5. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the guy if you're looking for something a hip-hopper can appreciate. Tapes are not very good, scratching and samples can sometimes be confusing and misplaced...

  6. i remember back in my ol' 486 days, i screwed around a lot with shells and stuff, found this nice one, calmira, made win 3.x look like windows 98, only it ran faster than 98! loaded up faster, shut down nicer, cut load times by not taking up as much resources, it was so good when i upgraded to a p200, i installed 3.x instead of 98 and set up calmira on that instead, super nice! wish i had the link to that shell though... better than icky program manager

    and program manager, ha"

  7. yeah, from bill and ted 2, and yeah, hit me up on soulseek, i'll send you all i got, these tapes are as good as people say they are

     

    oh, and that epitonic link i put up has some of his tracks on the site for download in good quality off of two of his mixtapes

  8. I've been searching for this guy's mixtapes for 3 years now, and i've got quite a few of them over time, but there's still more out there that I haven't been able to secure yet.

     

    Marcus B, for anyone who doesn't know, is one of the original members of the 1200 hobos (dibbs' crew) who has been compared, at times, to DJ Shadow. Some who hear him actually place him above Shadow in terms of skill and composition. He started out in the mixtape scene in the mid-nineties with something different that set his mixtapes apart, in a league of their own - they were actual productions of his, occasionally playing a track or two of someone elses - but what made the line really blurry was that a lot of his sample sources were immediately recognizable. On his Scatterbrain mixtape, for example, he takes part of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" and mixes it over a track he otherwise produced himself. On "Gollum's Ring", he will develop a groove by mixing 3 or 4 hip-hop tracks, then bringing several of his dark compositions into it leaving the listener wondering what to classify the mix as, but enjoying the ride nonetheless.

     

    Anyway.

     

    If anyone's interested in listening to any of his stuff, hit me up on soulseek (same name) and grab some. Most of the tapes of his that I have have been split up by me, to be more discman-friendly. My current collection of his work is:

     

    Scatterbrain

    Sunshine Ambassador

    Gollum's Ring

    Catastrophic Mush

    In The Hour Of Chaos (ft. DJ Fingaz)

    Superior Cynic

    Square Circle - Say Hello To Square Circle (the band Marcus B had recently joined - I believe this band is still together, if anyone can shed some light on that it would be appreciated)

     

    As of right now, I am missing the following tapes of his:

     

    Gone With The Spin

    Matrix Mix

    Return of the Fett

    Barnstormers

     

    and rumour has it that he did a sequel to superior cynic. There are probably some others I haven't listed, too.

     

    Links that I am aware of at this time:

    I am somewhat new to these boards, but you all seem like a bunch of cool cats so I figure what the hey, might as well make my first post a good one for everyone. Hope someone sees this and can help with those missing tapes.
