- Last year, when Carol and woj started the monster thing, I was one
- of the last to get the tape. I had been asleep for a while, so I didn't even
- contribute.
- I must say that having that enormous variety of styles was the real
- strong point of the tape, IMHO.

- I clearly remember last year a limit was set (8 minutes, possibly?
- Anyone remembers?). I suspect someone put some longer songs on the tape, but
- not *relevantly* longer. Also, woj and Carol had definitely more space,
- which was wise -- since they compiled one tape each (there were TWO tapes
- together). So they had the chance to fill in spaces that would eventually
- remain.

- Not at all, Gary -- I agree. Those two tapes are still treasured in
- my collection, and played very often (notice I usually hate tapes -- for se-
- veral reasons). Everyone should notice that they contained one or two of
- tunes per person, which were possibly "best", *accordingly to their taste*.
- This was extremely interesting, IMHO.
- More: if the thing start, I am ready to become the European re-distri-
- butor of the thing (which implied making copies and all that).
