Thanks to all who seem to be enjoying it. I figured that seeing as Audities 
has figured so largely in my life for the last 10 years, this album is my 
nod of tribute to you all who've pointed me in the direction of much of this 
music. In many ways, i would have no career at all if it wasn't for joining 
this list, and SOOP #2 is like the soundtrack of songs that have inspired 
me. I'd like to think it was something many listers would enjoy.

As for a companion disc, i think i may be the only person in the world that 
has all the original tunes, especially because 'Urban Skies" comes from an 
album i produced for Carl Hemmings that still remains unreleased. Maybe we 
can find a way of offering.. (maybe through Not Lame) a download of the 
original tracks. These artists are all certainly worth tracking down.

Love to hear any other thoughts on the disc from those who've picked it up..

Thanks again
