Compilation update - everyone is very busy at the moment, including me, so I'm extending the deadline for the entries. Got a couple of crackers so far though, and the other nine recordings are sounding *amazing* - so get on board. Can't wait to hear what you come up with.

Let's do this. Looking for some far out versions, so if you or any of your friends that are in prog math-punk, acid skiffle or transglobal space-funk bands, we need to hear their takes on this!
