Just one more thing, I just went back and checked out and bra I gotta ask, if the versions of the Hiphocalypse V2 tracks you played were the final print copy versions, cos in comparison to the Drudge stuff you played.. the V2 mastering seems a bit squishy, it could afford to be a scoash brighter.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but we'll have to see when one of the guys who spends alot more time around a mixing desk than I do takes a listen.
