Good to know.

I see FSOL contributed two tracks - Lakeside and Lizzard.

Lakeside seems exclusive,
Lizzard is Lizzard Crawl from The Archives Vol.1

Lizzard Crawl is 20 seconds shorter than the Archive 1 version, and 35 seconds shorter than the Enhanced Archive 1,
BUT - it sounds like a different mastering to me. Listening to the three tracks in a series,
- the Touch version has a deeper bass opening and a longer echo.
- Is anyone else hearing this?

Lakeside... what do you guys think? Environments 5? :)

I will have to check out Lizzard Crawl - I assumed it would just be the same, so didn't listen.

Lakeside is a cool track. Could certainly be part of Environments 5 - hopefully we won't have to wait long to find out ;)

Just started listening to some other tracks - LOVE the one by 2ndMouse, I'll definitely have to listen to more of his/her stuff :)

Yeah, I'm loving it. I'll have to be careful not to get into too many of these other artists though - I don't have the time!

Absolutely - Been the same with the Icasea - Benefit Compilation for Japan and ...and darkness came charity comps (still don't think I've finished either of those!). But like the Autechre 12 hour radio sets, they're good to listen to in bitesized chunks.
