I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who takes the time to write to me about the Hydrogen Cafe mixes. It means a lot to me when people take the time to let you know they enjoy what you have done. I thought I would take a moment to let folks know a few things and to also post some interesting links.
I would like to remind people that the Zip files I post with my mixes contain artwork for the mix as well as the “score” for the mix which is a jpeg capture of the timeline from the mixing software I use, Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer. The score can show you exactly what is playing at any specific time code. Also, several people have written me about submitting their ambient tracks for inclusion in a mix. I don't take "submissions" for the Hydrogen Cafe. I just do this for fun and there is no money involved whatsoever so I hesitate to take free CD's and such from folks. If you have free tracks already online or a LastFM streaming page I would be happy to listen for future consideration for inclusion in a mix. What I will also do is happily post links to ambient artists or blogs that are looking for some exposure. I will post some links to artists who have written to me below. Finally, a new short-form mix is coming shortly!

For a few hours I have been reading and looking for THC Coffee Break and is amazing and disturbing how many blogs related to generic viagra are in the web. But anyways, thanks for sharing your inputs, they are really helpful.
Have a nice day
