Free collaborative album - anyone want to join in

Hi folks -
Just an idea. On another music site, I got together with a few other musicians and bands and co-ordinated an album which was freely downloadable for anyone who used the site. 

It was a bit of a success. I asked people to contribute a couple of tracks - could be anything, old back catalogue - I mastered it onto an album, provided the artwork, uploaded it to Bandcamp, although it could also be distributed free via other peoples' Bandcamp (etc) profiles. It means you all get an album out much faster, it can be used for radio play etc. 

Would any bands here like to get involved in the same project - "create a free prog rock sampler which is made available to people on Prog Archives ? " - need two FLAC / MP3 256kbs files off anyone who wants to get involved. 

If so, drop me a PM. I'll throw 2-3 short tracks into the mix, so there's 15 mins already - no upper time limit for a download, of course. 

Cheers
Dave

	PS I'm a prog musician, have a listen to https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/trip-hazard That's typical of my stuff. The prior release - the collaborative one - was a spacey / ambient / whatever album and is at https://solquinox.bandcamp.com/
