the kings of techno

My guess is that those Retroactive records are bootlegs because you never see any of those records coming through submerge. I wasn't even aware that those records were getting the bootleg treatment.

Also, this is another one of those old Detroit comps that doesn't get enough love:

I love how Discogs.com is like the new allmusic.com for dance dorks.

agree about incognito - some great records including two of my favourite ever reese releases.

"club scam ii", "iconoclastic diaries" and "mood music for the moody" were incredible, though.

There's a simpler solution: MPTrim works entirely in the MP3 data realm so there isn't additional sound degradation from encoding/decoding. Its useful for trimming down silent or excessive intros/outros for tidy CDRs.

That said, you'll need Audacity or the likes to do proper crossfades.

From an email:
NOTE: PROMO YOU HAVE [see tracklist above] IS NOT THE FINISHED CD

FINISHED CD will be a double mix CD featuring

PROMO features a selection of tracks featured on those mixes many of which are out of print and hard to get.

Not from email:

NOT ideal for people who know everything

LOL

i've warmed to this comp quite a bit ... "track selection and mission of a comp called kings of techno?" questions aside, they do a real nice job with the mixing and the track selection is tight

like i would not consider selling it

This comp introduced me to D.I.E - "Get Up" which is amazing. I used to spin it regularly (slowed down a bit).
