I was abit disappointed personally that it didn't keep with the acid trip narrative idea, which would of made it more interesting amid all the similar looking compilations out there, and maybe relate to some depending on how we did our tracks to fit that theme. Or it even didn't go for any Environmental theme ala FSOL that we talked about for a while, it just ended up as another collection of tracks that was just put out because it took so long to happen. That didn't mean I wasn't excited at all when it came out, as the music was brilliant as always and it was mixed together well. But again I think people are expecting a better response for the work we've done the past couple years. And there wasn't much.

Well this says alot here. If you guys want to go further, especially to play live as or under Terminal, I think its the biggest question that needs to be answered first, as others might be thinking the same thing: do we want to be a collective, or just focus on our own individual things, and treat Terminal as more of a occasional gathering whenever it suits? It would be a shame considering how far this thing has gone so far. That's what I meant of having more of our releases on Terminal, could help with creating a bigger response to Window and our projects.
Ross wrote:Although I disagree with all of our releases being on Terminal - although sometimes things can happen like Akkya's experience, I think having releases on other labels can also bring people in. I've had it myself, people are more interested in my solo stuff now than they ever have been, thanks to releases and appearances on releases on Time Released Sound, Twice Removed, Flaming Pines and Inner Ocean. I'm suddenly on people's radar (so obviously I've gone for a name and genre change, because subconsciously sabotaging any possible success is one of my greatest talents)
Well I guess not every single release. But there needs to be a more constant amount of releases than a Window once a year. It would keep Terminal in peeps radar. Maybe the Windows should of been released on other labels only then.
