Damn, that sucks. I think you DO have the grounds to sue, if you have proof that it was your project (and by proof I mean something that can convince anyone who sees it, such as the project file. I personally believe it was yours). You might be able to get some money out of them for copyright infringement, or at least get them to remove it from that compilation, if you can find a lawyer to take it on.
Rock is a bore; Hip-Hop is a snore; Country I just ignore; Rap is like audio war; Heavy-Metal makes my ears sore; Disco should've died in '74; Electronic I love to the core. (People are going to hate me for stating this, so I won't state anymore.)

Honestly, I unfortunately let it go without notice for so long now, it wouldn't really make a difference to anyone. If I were smart and not so young at the time, I would have taken action once I initially found out. But it's carried on for so long now, it really would be like bringing up a passive-aggressive person's issues to a controlling, manipulative person that really wouldn't make anyone stop what they've already made millions on. As long as I still have my rights to that song that was taken from me at the time, I honestly could care less about any money that is made on it from that record because that was actually the only major release to the public that has my particular track on it. Thanks for the advice though Nav! It's much appreciated!!!
No problem. I was sad to see it go, it was one of my favorite tracks on NG :(
Do you still have it anywhere, or anything similar? It was quite good in my opinion, which was still incredibly nooby when I reviewied it as "navij11". The synths really reminded me of Dreamstation, with that awesome old-skool-VA quality that I love <3
Also, I'm really excited to hear the full versions of your new tracks. Beatport link when they're out please? :)
Check www.file2hd.com. You can get the track downloaded off of my MySpace page... www.myspace.com/dreamscaperbyro
Nope, sorry... no Beatport yet.
Ah fuck, I forgot which compilation it was on. I want to download it to get the high quality, uncut version (hopefully).
It's Tunnel Trance #7 the Diamond mix, and it's still mixed with two other tracks on there.
Thats quite a story. Don't lose your steam man.
Thanks bro! Whenever you get the time, I'd love to see what our forces combined can do in everyone's aural senses! Hit me up when and if this sounds like a plan Mathias.
Did you decide to remove them yourself? Or did someone else do it?
Wade did it upon my request.

"It was actually first processed as a dubplate special since it was originally unreleased for the genreal public. And it did cost some money even though it was originally not yet produced on vinyl. Later, once I got it pressed, it was then mass-produced on vinyl. Pretty interesting process, and a little costly... $1,349."
Ahh, cool! I'd assume you had the backing of a label when you got it pressed, dare I ask what label? If you did it yourself, then how did you hand the distribution?! O.O
Sweet. Vinyl rocks. If only there was a few more minutes, maybe with a straight kick on both ends, I'd try to work it into a set (I DJ with mp3s). Too bad it's gone now :(

It was actually going to be done through Tunnel Records at first, but before I signed the terms of agreement for distribution, I decided to go with an underground label Blue Martin Records since it was a lot cheaper like hundreds of dollars cheaper. But, for some odd reason Tunnel Records decided to take it upon themselves to use my "Orbital Trance" at the time under their name even though I never technically agreed to them taking rights for that. It's totally unchangeable now. :-(
