Delete that Dr. Rex machine! It's Better Than Sliced Beats, the SGX remix project!

What is/was it? - BTSB was an open 'competition' for anyone to take SGX songs and remix them. SGX's favorite entries were chosen and compiled into an album that is for sale. Artists could also submit cover art entries to be chosen by popular vote. In all, 13 different musicians (including SGX) submitted 15 tracks, and 6 artists submitted album art. All tracks are available for download for free here as mp3's.

How can I buy it? - Several options:

Buy the physical CD direct from me - If you want it signed, you can tell me so in the order comments box. I accept Paypal payments only. Price is $8.99 with FREE SHIPPING. I make the most money with this option (if you care). Ask for it to be signed in the order comments box!

Buy the physical CD from cdbaby.com - if you are uncomfortable buying from me and would like to buy from an established company, do this. Price is $7.99 Shipping not included.

Add BTSB to the purchase of Chroma for $5. Just click the "yes - add BTSB for $5" option on the Chroma product page at my store and then add to cart.

Personal Note from SGX - To everyone who participated in the project: I am extremely flattered and grateful that all of you spent time and effort to make this project come to life. It started as an idea to add one or two tracks to the recent re-release of Synesthetic, but the response was so great in the forums, that I switched it to a full album project. There were times where I wasn't sure I would get enough material, but several people straggled in late with some awesome material that I knew should be on the album, so that was the cause for the delays. As I sit here, listening to over an hour's worth of remixes of my music, I'm smiling. Great work. Thanks guys.

Check out the BTSB Demo Song - Listen to this track to get a quick idea of what's on the album. This is most of the BTSB tracks mashed (somewhat sloppily) together into one four and a half minute track.

denotes tracks included on the CD. The tracks are listed here in the order they are in on the CD. The CD is a total of 71:04 long.

	Prophecy -Activity Unbroken [SuperGreen Prophecy](5:25) 5.75mb
	Really solid stuff. Pretty different from the original. Just splashes of the original melody dropped in here and there.

	DJ Zenith - Soul Sight [20-20 Mix] (5:41) 5.21 mb
	Awesome. Breakbeats, scratchin', phat bass, added piano, call and response melody. Veryvery nice. I dig the title too. Check out DJ Zenith.

	DJ Nova - Synesthetic [DJ Nova Mix] (6:15) 6.50 mb
	Pretty good rendition of the original. Done in the same style.

	Graylightning - Tell Me a Story [Taxonomic Shift] (3:36) 4.12 mb
	Really interesting ethnic/electronic sounding stuff with a cool beat. It sounds like Panzer Dragoon music! Awesome stuff.

	Rush 'Ryan Champion' - Burnout [Twitch and Rush Burnout 2005 Mix] (3:15) 2.98 mb
	This one snuck in at the last moment. Pretty cool short trance rendition of the old Burnout. Check out Rush.

	David L. Puga - SoulSight [Wildcard Mix] (4:08) 3.79 mb
	I really dig the atmosphere added onto this. The beats are real interesting and keep your ears paying attention. The whole song is very flowing and organic. Nice stuff.

	dj.tuBIG - Halcyon [Abstract Extension] (6:14) 3.84 mb
	Chill, DnB style ambient mix of Halcyon. Check out dj. tuBIG.

	Nicole Adams and SGX - Different [Euphoria Mix] (5:45) 5.26 mb
	Ambient, stringy, some breakbeats. Good stuff. Check out Nicole Adams.

	DJ Nova - Haunting Memories [DJ Nova Mix] (6:11) 5.67 mb
	Haunting Memories with trance on top! Yay. Actually works pretty well. Interesting.

	sephfire - Adjusting to Reality [sephmix] (4:39) 4.27mb
	Groovin! Like my original, but but edgier with some sweet breakbeats and gated string pad goodness.

	dj.tuBIG - Tell Me a Story [M.A.T. Mix] (10:00) 9.61 mb
	Really long trance style TMAS. Big distorted bass action. Had to shorten the song by a minute for the CD version. This mp3 is the full version. Check out dj. tuBIG.

	Scott Peeples - Synesthetic [Cloud.9 Mix] (6:07) 5.60 mb
	Foot-to-ass 100%. Crazy awesome breakbeat jams. Must download. Check out Scott Peeples.

	SGX - Tell Me a Story [Prolixity Mix] (5:09) 4.73mb
	In case you are wondering, look up prolixity. The name makes sense if you think about telling stories and how this is different from the Compendium mix. This is pretty much TMAS [Compendium Mix] x 2 + a bunch of new material. I really kind of wandered with the new stuff, but its an interesting listen. Enjoy. The original TMAS was done all in Reason, and this remix is done all in Acid Pro and Project5. This song is exclusive to the purchased version of the album.

	Snooper_1989 - Multiple Worlds [Imminent Collision] (4.57) 6.81 mb
	This remix goes a lot of different places a lot like the original. Love the gongs. Gong gong!

	CCC-Shiner - Halcyon Controversy (1:50) 2.1 mb
	Short remix of the short original. Adds some more string melodies and percussion parts.
