--> I'm just putting out my labels first release and I've been thinking of doing a couple of free-to-download compilations to follow it. That was the idea, originally, mainly free stuff but that didnt work out for the first one.

I wanna approach these two free compilations the same way as I would a paid for release with PR being undertaken, review copies being sent out and as much publicity for the label and the artists involved being done as possible.

So, Ordio Records would like to invite you fine EM people to become involved in two instrument-themed releases, one themed around the Hammond organ and one themed around the Mellotron.

In both cases, I'd like to put out a collection of tracks inspired by those instruments, and primarily made up using sounds, samples, VSTI clones or whatever from either the Mellotron or the Hammond. Melodic is my favourite, but I'll take anything can get.

What's in it for you? You're in a cool compilation (hopefully), youll get some PR and I'll put links to whatever you want from the record companies sites and a bio and pics on there too.

Anyone fancy it? I'd love if this came off. I'm thinking to do one first, depending on what the interest is in doing either instrument, then release other other one after - or do it as a (fake) 2 disc release with one 'side' being one thing and the other being another.

thanks peeps!
