I know many songs from the list. Good songs I can say.

 

The overall quality of the songs I know is really high.

How do I send a message to everyone without doing it individually? It's probably really easy/obvious.

Just put their names in the "Carbon copy to other members" section, though you can only do up to 5 at a time. (Is this a feature just for mods? I'm not sure...)

You can't unless you're a mod of some sort... If you have the message you want to send then I can send for you a few at a time which would be quicker?

Only familiar with 3 artists. - which is great!

Right, hopefully you should all now have a PM with the link to the tracks. Shout up if you haven't received it for any reason.

Thanking you.

Surprised to see The Weeknd in this, probably totals towards a 20 million views on youtube for his songs and he's one of the most hyped and popular new names this year. He's brilliant though, so guess there's no reason to complain. Other than that only Tegan and Sara strike me as semi-famous. can't wait to start listening, shame sendspace is a bit slow.

I wasn't sure about The Weeknd or Tegan and Sara either, but I guess they don't actually break the rules despite not really being unknown. 'Initiation' only came out last week anyway.

I know perhaps ten acts and five songs, seems pretty good.

EXCITED

Looks like a good list ;-)

I know around 15 of them , looking forward to hearing the others ;-)

 

Looks like my 20 is sorted. Haha.

Hmmm maybe I take that back :unsure:

On first listen through, around 22 songs in and I only like around 6 of them so far.... I guess this is always the way though on first listen... A few have been deleted already never to be heard again ;-)

A few of tracks I can't listen to becuase of the file formats m4a formats, I'll check these out in youtube.

 

Dum Dum Girls will have been the one everyone wanted I reckon, it's one of 4 on the list that I already knew and it is rather very good.

 

Having first listen now!

You think? Maybe I'm thinking in BJSC terms, but for me the obvious one everyone thought over was Caotico or more likely The Weeknd... Anyway barely a third through and I've already found a couple of great discoveries, this is why I love this comp :wub:

Halfway through and barely found anything I like yet. Caotico as first sound to be removed from the list, due to straightforward sound and poppy composition. I probably missed a few growers though.

I'm thinking Class Actress ?
