can anybody tell if these were 'mastered' or not?

 

I've been wondering about this too. Most of the tracks have a very well rounded and full sound to them. On the other hand, the loudness levels are all over the place from track to track.

 

 

Yeah, I agree... volume is all over the place. As a whole, I don't think they've been mastered... yet.

But some tracks do sound full & beefy. (Dark Girl/Boy for example) ... so maybe some of them in the past

where grouped for bonus or ep track mastering, but never used.

But I'm clearly no mastering expert so I may be totally wrong

Edit: even tho track sound very homogenic so I bet that in that, some kind of mastering was needed

 

I'm not a mastering expert either, but I just listened to Come to Daddy (mummy mix) and a few tracks from HAB on my sound system back to back with the Metal Beat track and the Baby track from the soundcloud dump, the official releases have a lighter less beefy mastering touch done to them, at least on these 2 tracks. I like the way this Metal Beat one sounds especially, reminds me of the way Minipops was mastered. This could be all in my imagination but I'm leaning towards the idea RDJ is either mastering (some of) these himself or had someone do it.

 

edit: the theory im proposing, that if some of these are already mastered (maybe the ones with track #s) its good evidence at least some of these tracks will get an official physical/digital release

 

 

indeed!

If this is it (and somebody stated that the earliest track dates back tom'88 and the latest ist arguably '96) i made this.

Not to sound greedy, but I would love to hear some stuff from 95-2000. Seems like a possibility considering how he is releasing these somewhat chronologically.

King Richie can always have a bite of my golden Visa card :D

Just finished reading every single page of this. Took 3 hours.

 

All I can say is that this really is incredible and thanks to all for welcoming me to watmm last year, its been amazing.

 

7 hours?! If this isnt even his 'best' unreleased stuff then jesus...

serene + naughty AFXness

Where the fuck did Girl/Boy Song Dark version go? Did anyone grab it?

love the story behind 20 Pink Floyd (he just borrowed the LP from his neighbour, sampled it, and never listened to the record)

for those that couldn't rip (or have work to do, etc).. here's a zip of all 98 tracks so far (96 from the main soundcloud account, and two from the "old" account before the name change)

 

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1566ny72nSKN21vV3ZhYWtxM28&authuser=0

 

all the track names are accurate straight from soundcloud, some have images, some dont.

if anyone wants to go in there and add images, or notes or hashtags based on each track, go for it

 

ripped throughout the past two days using the SCD batch download software

there are a total of 96 tracks, with the latest being around 1996... so this may well be it for now. Maan, what a ride :D

i see talk of 'dark girl/boy' which i dont think is in the zip file though.. if anyone can provide that (now removed?) track i can add it to the zip file linked above.

ha.. you know a bunch of trax on the master account were originally on there right? i'm 99.9 sure all 98 in the zip are legit.
