Escapades sounds great.
My winner so far from what I've heard from SYR9.

the vox on star power just changed my heart beating patterns.

Rain King - early version, doesn't work
Escapades is so good!

hell to the fuckin' yes, escapades sounds like an ATL outtake, and it's a HUGE compliment coming from me (I love ATL).
True about rain king.
Perhaps mil found out too soon about the vol 8 before things were tested for the public :D...

is that the John Cage version of Rain King? If there's anything else after it I'm too bored to wait.

don't wait, click 'next'. rain king is the only one that doesn't work.

I have a problem with this mixtape:

The left hand reel is revolving anti-clockwise, suggesting that the tape is rewinding, not playing. And the reel is full, while the right hand reel appears to be empty, suggesting that the tape is already fully rewound. Surely the tape is going to break soon?

Maybe that's why Rain King doesn't work.

EDIT - Oh, no. It's not rewinding, is it? It's playing forwards. All is well.

I'm really digging the early version of Candle...

Also I'm skipping all of the SYR9 tracks 'cause I want to wait until the vinyl release.

edit: BEST... MIXTAPE... EVER...

I perceive that we are beginning to benefit from the complete digitization and archiving of the sonic sound vaults by professional audio archivists mentioned a while ago. SYR 9 sounds awesome. Daydream-era demos/weird versions: priceless.

lastly, this may be treading thin ice, but i remember with past mixtapes someone posted instructions on how to capture the audio, but I can't find the instructions. this may be because it is against the rules to do so. if so, please do not post them again. If not, please post said instructions. or PM me or something...

So, what else is on there?
I won't be able to listen to it until the weekend.
