Interesting stuff! Would have been better if everyone voted,
but it's still nice.

Although We Are the Music Makers sucks ass, I HATE to see
that horrible piece of crap on a best of album!

We Are the Music Makers is the only disapointment, the rest
is ace!!! The final cut is surprisingly close to what I'd
make it...

Vordhosbn got a 97... holy fuck... rightfully so.

I'm sorry, I don't know why, I didn't even know I'd done
that, I like Alberto a hell of a lot!

As for Vordhosbn....its OK but there's far better, 10? 10 my
arse you stupid fools!

To be honest though, I copies and pasted Smokehammers and
altered some! lol

A few people gave IZ-US and Flim REALLY low scores... that
pissed me off. :-) Ones and two, gimme a break!!! Zoinks.
And they made the final cut anyway. They deserve no less
than a 10.

and i think vordhosbn really deserves its place (in the top
10, but _not_ on #1)

one of the reasons flim is so great is because it comes
right after come to daddy pappa mix and the contrast adds to
its beauty

but the most appalling omission is BIKE PUMP MEETS

The most appaling omission is Windowlicker!

Other than that its not a bad mix.

Sorry chaps
windowlicker & the other EP's were too much trouble to
include. I don't like windowlicker much personally. Too much
like trendy pop-music..
*hides*
(from behind safe cover) but thx for your support M02 ! x

this was interesting, thanks for putting it together
i dont think it was 'useless' at all

u should do it again in the future, i'll be sure to vote
next time

btw: vordhosbn DEFINITLY deserved its place!
well.. (like someone already said), i dont know about number
ONE, but definitly top 10/top 5

there are a few perfect songs that would all be tied for #1
in my mind

Not a bad list, but i dont understand how windowlicker
dident make the list at all?

the only scary part about windowlicker is that if the video
wasent so fucking fucked up, it might have got played on
MTV, now that would have been scary

and another point, i think alberto balsam could have been #1
if it dident always make the noise that sounds like someone
pushing a dishwasher acrossed the floor (that's what it
makes me think of)

I love this man... good job...

Vordhosbn isn't that great imo, but at least Heliosphan is
number two, and Xtal is in the top ten as well... and Acrid
Avid Jam Shred deserves number 3!!!
