Limited first run of 500 in handsmade fakefur pouches. A new
press of 1000 is in the pipeline, according to skam-news
network.

Warpmart had it a week ago or something, but it's all gone
now.

I can sadly tell you that there are loads of cats on the
compilation. A bit too much infact, and there are only a
couple of good tracks on it. The rest is a bit amateurish
imo. One of the guys who won the aermx contest here is on it
though, and his tracks are fairly decent.

But there are som cats here who like it, so there
might still be a chance you'll like it. I'm out though :)

Yeah, that's the best one, but the track that comes after is
absolutely fucking terrible. I cringe everytime I hear that
guy sing.

Excellent avatar btw, it reminds me that I have to listen to
Adult. again.

there's a review of the whole comp. on tesselate.me.uk, sam,
the reviewer liked this comp a lot...
>vlari, can u list the amateur work on this ? and how can
you say it's amateur work...do you think the guys at skam
have a non professional vision of the music they release ?

The comp isn't too bad, but you have to clean the CDs quite
well before you play them or you get bits off fluff inside
your cd player.

I've just got up after about 14 hours of sleep. I'll go back
again if I feel too drowsy. Thanks for the concern :)

i haven't the pb of the fluff in the cd player but i must
admit that one of my cats try to eat (!) the furry-case...if
he manage to reach it, he take it in his mouth as if it was
a mouse and quickly escape in another room...

I don't think that Skam wanted to do a half-assed, or
non-professional job with it. When I said amateur, I
meant in the sense of the artists (who submitted tracks to
this comp. just like a contest). It's like a bad day on
xltronic, where there is only bad spam to click on. I'm not
going to list all of the tracks that I think is amateurish
soundwise, but most of them are. Actually I bought the
compilation only because I could afford it and because it
was limited.

the purpose of this project was to give 'amateur' a chance
to reach a large audience, no ? so saying it's full of
'amateur' tracks doesn't mean anything in my opinion...but
everyone here like or dislike some tracks which is
absolutely a good and 'normal' thing...
(i don't really like most of the tracks on the rest cd -cd1,
but just because it doesn't really correspond to my 'musical
tastes', not in the point of view 'amateur' /
'professional')
anyway, despite what i like or not, i think they made a very
good job, cause they received a lot of tracks and made a
very large and opened choice...
i think it's definitively a good 'panorama' of what
'electronica' is nowadays

As a way of auditioning new talent the compilation did well.
My only gripe is that it's not pushing any boundaries imo,
and I find all the meowing quite annoying. Many of the
tracks sounds like they want to be "SKAM", some succeed,
some sounds like a parody. I think the SMAK series does a
better job in tracking down the real cats of the
game. And on that note, I'm anxious to hear the new
Quinoline Yellow album :)

Your points are valid, zara, it's just that I don't like the
compilation. Let's be friends now.

series...but it's not anymore the subject of this thread...
