In the late 1980's and early 1990's, the Mostly MIDI Mailing List (MMML)
put togther a series of five cassette tapes with compositions by
members of the mailing list. Duane Bowker compiled the first four tapes,
Bill Fox compiled the last one, and Neil Weinstock, Topher Gayle,
and Greg Youngdahl made significant contributions along the way.
The music, although leaning heavily to the electronic side, contains
a wide variety of styles and techniques.
Everyone wanted to show their 'best stuff', so the quality of the music
and recordings is quite high.
All compositions are copyrighted, all rights reserved,
by the individual artists.
NOTE: The actual audio files have been taken offline to respect copyright issues. If you want access to a
particular file, send email to me@timthompson.com .
Reflecting our enthusiasm for the new technologies available
to us at the time, detailed liner notes are available for all of the pieces,
describing the equipment and techniques used for each piece.
