Last Message 1 week, 1 day ago- swamp : well, play iz 26 & feed iz 4. so thats deffo 30
- matrix : back to zero... let's just assume only 1000 of those downloads were real hehe
- matrix : no idea where the links to my mix are coming from... so i've renamed the mix
- Der DiskothekerTM : Thanx bong!
- bong : corrected
- Der DiskothekerTM : dear ops, there is a mistake in the artists list of My House Is Built Of Rock.: the name is Alan Vega, not Aöan ... big thanks if you could correct it
- AbeTwist : Still it looks cool, 1215 dl's Hate the fact that MJ's dead by the way, came as sort of a shock
- matrix : not guilty, m'lord.
- Ken Masters : Michael Jackson RIP
- swamp : itz not d/ls. theres bin a direct link posted somewheres, mayb several. so peeps iz klikin on the link repeatedly cos it wont werk. in reality, itz prob around the 50 d/l mark
- Der DiskothekerTM : this is more than a hit, this is a miracle: more tham 1.000 downloads in a day on matrix' actual mix!
- AbeTwist : wow, that was a fast upload!
- swamp : ...promises, promises...
- wyse : @Warvadal I've got a tracklist somewhere. I'll find it and upload.
- bong : i think the recent database problems caused a flux with people not being able to view the site properly, which in turn would probably have had a knock on effect with the lack of downloads experienced for that 2 week period.. the rest? who knows!
- ambientfusion : new mix in the works... been a while. hopefully have it uploaded soon.
- Der DiskothekerTM : The box remains mysterious to me. Sometimes a mix runs to some hundreds of downloads in ten days, sometimes it's only a slow dropping even though there is no difference in quality. I'm participating since more than one year now and still don't understand how it works... Nevertheless big thanks to all the mixers who make me puzzle about this question!
- Warvadal : @Mr. Wyse. I see you have a mix upload. Do you have a cover and/or tradklist to go with it? I will wait to post it until I hear from you. Peace.
- bong : cheers for the fixes naz.. bmbx works great again.. Hurrah!
- naz : welcome back

- bong : well in Max..
- Max : Hey guys! Still enjoying the tapes for four years now! Keep it up!
- Warvadal : @DJtec. I had some problems with your back cover. Had to resize it (too big). + I don't know if that's the way you wanted it to look (sideways), but that's how it was uploaded. Let me know. I'm out of town until sunday. Peace.
- bong : oo ooo ooo ooo.rrrrrrrrrrrr e
- dj readybreak : Cheers for the upload peeps, enjoy!

Looks like this was posted too early - the upload didn’t complete. Retrying now. Watch this space…
December 15th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
Got the full mp3 now Edward. Can’t find the cover or tracklist on the server, but then again my FTP programme can’t pick things up that are uploaded outside of the mixers.b00mb0x.org or upload.b00mb0x.org folders.
Can you move them over to either folder or upload again? Cheers.
December 15th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
You’ll need to resize them anyway guys - 300Kb limit.

This mix has totally suited my mood tonight.
Thank you guys.
:) 
Listening to this, I’m reminded of the works of Mr.bong ?
And I mean that in the most complimentary way.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
December 16th, 2006 at 2:11 am
Been a long wait for something new from Edward and as I’ve said before I always find something new and wonderful in a HP mix so don’t even need to cross my fingers for this one, really looking forward to it!
December 16th, 2006 at 9:33 pm

December 16th, 2006 at 9:53 pm

as they say in the book, a kipper ahem i mean keeper
December 17th, 2006 at 1:06 am
Great one !
One thing though … i think it has been cut off at the end while uploading …
December 17th, 2006 at 10:39 am
Can’t check at the moment, but the file size should be more than 100MB. if it doesn’t end with someone saying “i’ll live” then you’ve not got it all! Maybe the original failed upload has been posted by mistake?
December 17th, 2006 at 11:16 am
It’s only got 84,1 Mb
December 17th, 2006 at 11:27 am
what FTP clients are you using?
December 17th, 2006 at 11:28 am
i moved the 101 MB version from the root, so it should be all good again
December 17th, 2006 at 12:51 pm
nice one. thanks Naz. I do seem to be making things difficult this time around!
December 17th, 2006 at 9:56 pm
This is a class mix. Can’t easily pin it down to a genre to describe it, which is a big plus. Also like the way it moves between spooky and more straightforward chillout/downtempo. Couple of tunes I recognise from one of the X-Mix series (anyone else have those spacey X-Mix videos for appreciation in the *ahem* right state of mind?). A burner, to freak the family out.
How did you two work together exactly?
December 18th, 2006 at 4:50 am
Very,very nice.A splendid listen with no step out of place that my ear percieved.Wonderfully mixed & timed with finestkind cuts throughout.
:D 
:D

The combined effect of two dj’s like y’all is impressive.It makes for an enhanced experience.
December 18th, 2006 at 5:01 am
Oh,I almost forgot…The end cuts off still as of midnight,Sunday.Sure would like the complete piece.
December 18th, 2006 at 7:25 am
it’s 101 MB on the server so I don’t know …
December 18th, 2006 at 9:24 am
Use08: Glad you liked it - it was a really fun one to put together. RE: the mix cutting off at the end, the 101MB file on B00mb0x is definitely the right one now (just downloaded and checked myself). If your still having problems getting it, e-mail me at the address on the cover and we can sort something out.
Matrix: Thanks for the comment - I think the lack of specific genre came from the two of use working on it over a period of a few months. I’m pleased that the overall mood of the thing seems to hang together though.
You’re right, the Gemini 6 track is from X-Mix-1 - I think it accompanied some mind-blowing wireframe animation of a face in outer space. I’m sure if I went back and watched it now I wouldn’t be quite so impressed as I was… It reminds of taping “The Chill Out Zone” on MTV Europe back in ‘92 / ‘93.
We put the mix together in a kind of asynchronous tag-team style. We’d take it in turns to add a few minutes on the end and make a few tweaks to what was already there. It was good fun and seemed like a good match in terms of style (and age of record collection!).
December 18th, 2006 at 9:46 am
What Edward said, many thanks all for the kind words so far. This was a lot of fun to do and I must admit I was not sure how it would work out, but we did seem to compliment each others choices/style pretty well. The challenge was to try to keep the quality level up everytime I heard what Ed had just done.
Many thanks for the props btw - I love your mixes so this is indeed an honour. cheers mate 
Matrix: I’ve got one of them X-Mix things as well. Vol 3 I think it is. I recall it got used in a similar manner to yours
Me and Ed quite fancy compiling another (is that right Ed?) - hopefully we haven’t used all our best selections already!!
thanks again, hp
:D
December 18th, 2006 at 9:59 am
Guys…This is bloody awesome! Downloaded it the other day but only just got round to listening to it. The start of the mix sets it up perfectly and it just flows seamlessly from there.
Nice to see some St Etienne - always loved ‘He’s on the phone’ for its cheesy feel good vibe - so when I heard it in a LJ mix a couple of years back I was well chuffed.
Any many thanks for this one - more of the same please!
December 18th, 2006 at 11:02 pm
yes. the mix did the job
December 19th, 2006 at 6:31 am
All is complete now! Thanks! Funny,,,it played on a short bit after itunes said it was at 0 seconds.
Technology! Ha!
December 23rd, 2006 at 1:19 pm
Not that I’m obsessing over this or anything :), but someone’s just given us a vote of 1 out of 10 without a comment.
Seems a bit harsh really - any reason for the low score?
December 23rd, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Don’t take it personally….the same person gave about 40 mixes a score of 1/10 within the space of a few minutes (apart from his own 8O)
December 23rd, 2006 at 2:00 pm
In that case, I won’t let it ruin my Christmas
December 23rd, 2006 at 2:40 pm
I can’t understand that, why would you give a mix 1/10? Surely it would have to be shite tunes played backwards at the wrong speed to warrant a 1.
Can’t say that I’ve had chance to listen to this yet, but judging from the reviews this aint in that category.
Also, they have given their mixes 10/10 ratings
December 23rd, 2006 at 6:36 pm
I had noticed that a lot of the quality mixes on here had suddenly dropped in their average voting score. This mix is worth nothing less than 9.5 if not a 10. Listened to it numerous times now and it gets better with every play.
Thanks again guys
Tom
December 23rd, 2006 at 9:26 pm
Bizarre… As Dangerscouse says, why would anyone do that? And marking their own as a 10/10
. I can’t believe that…It sure is a funny old world. Happy Christmas and NY all, cheers hp
December 23rd, 2006 at 9:59 pm
er…there is an explanation from the person involved. Without going into details, it’s a reminder to make sure access to your computer is secure!
December 23rd, 2006 at 10:07 pm
So i guess we can now all rest assured everybody’s up to speed with the issue of access to our computers, right?
Anyway, there’s a simple solution against that, get more votes in so that the average is not thrown off by one single … er… merry man.
Not that it really counts that much …
I’d like to give back the gift of a 10/10 mark myself to this ‘hitman’, being givin’ season & such…
Merry Christmass people.
December 24th, 2006 at 9:59 am
Yeah, Merry Chrimbo people!! Have a good one!
December 26th, 2006 at 5:33 pm
It might have just been the right mix for the right mood, but this mix is fuckin awe-inspiring, and would have been my first 10/10.
Not too subtle to make me lose interest, but subtle enough to take me on a journey. It’s got ups and downs, and samples to perfection. I hope that you two are proud of yourselves…….if not you should be!!
December 28th, 2006 at 9:35 pm
Sorry chaps - downloaded this before xmas and only just had that kinda space to listen to this - Me and my little un (who’s got chicken pox!) spent the whole afternoon with you guys and an excellent time we had too!
Great mix. Some of the tracks I haven’t heard in ages - got the old memories going again!
Also your version of Cantamilla by Tranquility Bass I haven’t heard before - I havn’t had time to dig it out here - I’ll check it some time this week!
Cheers again and Happy New Year!!!!
January 12th, 2007 at 2:07 am
Lovely. You’ve got love the sound of very posh and very Welsh(?) people discussing space.
March 20th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Just caught up with the last few comments, so a big thanks again from me and Edward for all the kind words.
September 2nd, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Sweet - just passed the 500 downloads mark!
Noticed we were on 499 this morning and then it went up while I was watching.
Thanks to everyone who’s listened. Hope you all enjoyed it.
