Compilations and samplers

Well, I personally perchase every release with the "Smooth Grooves" title on the cover label. I find that each one of these released outputs of music puts me in the fine mood of music listening that I like. When Im eating a Fruit Roll or kissing my mother on the cheeck after a long game of softball! The "Smooth Grooves" series of compilations get me where I need to be mentally musically, Dan, my friend. Here is a image of Number 2 in the series:

ahh yes. "mooth Grooves" vol 1-78 can and will be perchased at your local Wal Mart ok guys? Other good complations are the Alvin & the Chipmunk series.

Wow. What an interesting question. However, when I first started getting into industrial music I had the same problem. Most big record stores have them. They seem to be more rare in used CD stores, which is a shame.

So you're kindof stuck between two extremes. On the one hand, you have BIG record stores like Virgin that caters to popular (read: boring) music but has many comp albums and samplers, and on the other, you have nifty indie new and used stores that don't have much room for a bunch of comps and samplers. HOWEVER - this is where the demonic forces of the internet come into play...

Oh, and look for the "Music In The Key Of Z" compilation and the book with the same name.

God, all the sudden I just completely lost my taste for this question. Compilations seem to be complete rubbish, every one, and I don't know what got into me to express any interest in them at all. Sorry.

That's the spirit! I used to think compilations were worthwhile too. But I have since realised that they are almost uniformally rub.
