TAPE LOOP, The Next Generation Options

[Sostie]

Now that the last Loop has ended, a new one will be started soon.

This post is to announce the next Loop, but not to take "applicants". This gives the oppurtunity for all those that are interested in joining the Loop, advanced notice. Also, it should give people a chance to consider, before joining the Loop, whether they are prepared to make the commitment of not just creating a CD, but posting promptly and reviewing others' CDs.

This thread will re-open in two weeks time on the afternoon of Monday 28th July. Members can then post their interest to join the Loop. There will be 8 places and all will be allocated on a first-come-first served basis.

For those not famliar with the Tape Loop, it works something like this.

A list of the 8 participants will be created - it is up to each participant to PM their address details to the member before them on the list.

On creation of the Loop you will have a period of time to create a compilation CD, with artwork if you wish (approx 2 weeks). There are no limits to the number of tracks on the CD, but please keep it to one CD only.

Your CD should be posted to the member that follows you on the list. A date of posting will be given

You should forward the other member's CDs you recieve every two weeks after that (dates will be given).

The two weeks between posting should give you enough time to listen to the CDs you recieve, as well as review them in an allocated thread.

The Loop ends when all CDs have been reviewed by all participating members.

This Loop is open only to UK residents only.

Remember - please do no not join the Loop unless you are prepared to listen, review and post other members CDs within the allotted times.

Good luck.

We are now taking "applicants" for the next Loop. If you wish to participate post your interest here.

8 spaces available, but a possibility of a second Loop in tandem if interest exceeds expectation.

Before considering joining the Loop please read the 1st post in this thread.

My music tastes have changed a little bit since I last done a loop so I think I'm in on this one.

Plus I can abuse the work post.

[Kick in the Head]

Sure, I'll have another go. There may be the odd address change while I sort out job-hunting/potential moving plans in the coming months, but as long as I give a little advance warning to the poster, that shouldn't be a problem. Sign me up.

Go on then.

[Rua]

My mixing software has died which is a major pisser (for many reasons, mainly financial) but as no-one else seems to be showing an interest I'll give The Loop another pop anyway.

[maian]

I was going to sit this one out, but I'll happily have another go.

[Jon 79]

I'll have another go,... if that's ok. ... Though having joined in the last one, I don't mind stepping down if someone wants my place.

[Wife Of Rolex]

Ooh, just made it. Stick me down. I promise a much better effort this time.

[Sostie]

If there are no more takers by Friday afternoon I may have to take a space.

[Hobbes]

I'd like to, but I really won't have the time to make, listen and review realy, got too much stuff going on between returning to uni and lots of stuff to sort out for my brother's wedding.

Shame because i have some killer tracks i'd put on.

[Sostie]

One place left. Any more takers?

Otherwise, a 7 person Loop will be finalised later today.

[Ade]

Go on then.

[Sostie]

That's our 8!
