Before I get too lost in the upcoming February insanity, I need to present the first (second!!!) installment of S-EXY (Selected from EXY) Listener's Digest. The first go-round was a two disc set of HIGH / NRG that I posted up as The Kernels of Goodness on the Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 6 post November last. That was before this actual project had hatched.
At the time, NSS regular rev.b commented:
“There's so much new-to-me stuff on Exy, it's hard to know what to try. The reviews don't help much because I don't know how much I can trust them. None of these artists are familiar, so I really appreciate these two 'listener's digests'. They're bound to be very useful and I imagine I'll go back and grab anything that sounds interesting. If you wanted to make a habit of posting these every few months, that'd be great. Either way, thanks for these.”
Well, I'm always one for picking up another new bad habit. This is what I've gleaned since November.
