Orbital Remix competition at Loopz - chance of better dls?

I love the Orbital remix competition submissions on Loopz. The final year had full quality mp3s, but the previous years have very low quality mp3 downloads. Is there any chance years later now that high quality mp3s might be put up for download or available somewhere? I love them and consider them a cool extension of my favorite group but low quality makes them a difficult listen

thx!

got a feeling there might not be any more official orbital competitions...

Yeah.. the last one was 2001 but there were several before that one. The 2001 page on Loopz has full quality MP3s for download but the previous years only have low quality Real Audio or MP3 samples.

Just curious if there's any way to get the full quality MP3 versions. I love the homebrew stuff and wish we could get full quality versions.

Sorry no more competitions and no higher quality mp3s of the previous years.

Not to be a pest, but any particular reason why no higher quality mp3s of previous years?

It was agreed in the earlier competitions that we would only host a lower bitrate of the mp3s.

On a similar note, will we ever get to hear the Future Music remix competition winners of 'Acid Pants'? The competition finally ended recently, and the winners were listed in the issue of Future Music magazine that contained the interview with System 7...

With mind working overtime, that could be another Orbital release (to add to the speculation on the General Forum page)!

I think you should ask those people at Future Music about that remix competition. Its nothing to do with me

Aww.. bummer about the earlier competitions. I think it's a real shame given it could be more Orbital for people to enjoy.
