Start long winded post here:

So, I've been super busy this past two weeks, trying to master a cd compilation that my record company is preparing to put out. The cover art is just about finished by our designer, and she did a great job! Anyhow, the mastering process has been tedious, and I've used lots of neat tricks that I've picked up by trolling the forums here regularly. So, thanks guys! Yeah, I think it has come out really good. I'm going to give it a couple more listens tomorrow and give it the old double check. Then, on Monday, we send it off to the manufacturer to get 1000 units professionally pressed. As this will be our first release, I cannot wait to get the finished copies back, so I can start getting them out there.

The compilation is 12 tracks deep of local (sf bay area) underground hip hop and a small bit of trip hop music. I'd say 10 of the 12 tracks are extremely good, and though the other two aren't quite up to the same quality, they are still very cool pieces. The compilation is called Electric Halo (think headphones) and is part of me and my partners efforts to highlight underrepresented, independent hip hop. We also put on shows here in the bay. Like I said, I've been working hard on this and have made lots of sacrifices to do this so I'm extremely excited that the first leg of the many legged journey is about to be complete. This has taken a lot longer than it should have, but now that it is so near, I'm so ready to do this. Wish me luck yall.

ps, I'll probably do another post when we get the finished cds back, but I just wanted to get this off my chest, cuz I've been working on this and needed a release. Thanks for bearing with me.
