VA, Ott - Ottcraft 1 + 2 (non-album tracks, remixes)
Enjoy

These are all of the known psybient non-album tracks and remixes by music virtuoso Ott, from 2001-2003 (Ottcraft) and 2004-2009 (Ottcraft 2).

Ottcraft compiles non-album tracks by Ott and Ott collaborations Umberloid (with Chris Barker) and Gargoyles (with Simon Posford), as well as Ott's remix of a Shpongle track.  The "lost album" before Blumenkraft!  

Ottcraft 2 compiles an Umberloid track and Ott's remixes of tracks by Tripswitch, Entheogenic, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Bluetech and Terra Nine.  Some brilliant collaborations here.

History: Ottcraft was originally uploaded to Oink.cd as 192 CBR mp3 files, and an Oink member contributed the cover.  I later re-made Ottcraft, leaving the track order as I found it (it flows well).  Sourced from FLAC, ripped to 320 CBR mp3's with LAME, tagged with mp3tag and normalized to 89db with mp3gain.  For tracks that were originally crossfaded from/to other tracks, Audacity was used to fade in or out to silence.  Art embedded in each track.

7.  No Return by Terra Nine - (Ott Remix, from Terra Nine - Stream Of Consciousness, 2009)


History: Ottcraft 2 appears for the first time here; a chronological sequence resulted in a nice flow.  Sourced, faded, normalized, etc. as for Ottcraft, and the same art was tweaked.  (Normalizing was essential this time, as the later releases were somewhat louder).
