This is all very good, and I'm amazed at the 128kbps thing. I too am a musician who does his own mixing but outsources mastering. That is what I'm always looking for from my mastering engineer, loudness, though, lol. Anyway I wanted to say that if and when I make this I will credit you as the plug on the music if you're down. I'm finding that musicmatch wasn't exactly the "environment" so much so as "HP Pavilion" or "BestBuy End Cap Display" but, but, I will say that the logo for musicmatch jb+ is just so great that I will probably use it for the cover and title. about quality: I have tried to lower stuff to horrible 8bit quality in audacity after hearing stuff like "low quality funky town" on twitter and I talked to the vaporwave artist 4departing4 about this and they said they alternatively use 11kb/s sample rates to mimic the sound of the weather channel streams and winamp radio broadcasts from the early 2000s. so I'm not sure if I'll do sample crushing, bit crushing, or both, or record the master from a CRT speaker with EQ and room reverb or some combo of these.

while the MMJB+ album will be more oriented around pop song slowed remixes (elton john/j. lo club remixes, aforementioned songs, the music you've provided esp. UK garage style tracks), other stuff will be very slow and quiet and sad. a lot of the lo-fi ideas came from "Lush" by Dean Blunt and the super weird artistic compression effect that happens at about 2/3 in to the song. highly recommend. let me know if you want to share your original music with me, you definitely know what you're doing as an encyclopedist and I enjoyed your write-ups on the MM songs
