You still never divulged your music preferences. Since you're a gearhead, I assume your into jazz. A few years ago I made a theme comp (more like an essay) showing the jazz influence in rock-n-roll. It kinda got outta hand (4 volumes) and far fetched, whereas the term essay is concerned, but its got some 'great sounding' music on it.

As far as comps are concerned, most of the music I've purchased in the last few years stem from recs I've received here at RR. Also, a lot of purchases come from comps I've received as well. Since most people here have way faster computers than me, I'm sure you have a dozen or so comps enroute. But you can e-me if you think you'd be interested.

How on earth have you moderated this board without knowing what a comp is?

Which BTW, the term comp is prolly where the term clique may acually apply, since once upon a time there were so many comps being talked about, that some may have been intimidated to either, ask for a comp, or submit their own.
