Thanks for the mention, and I just love this quote: I thought most of them were pretty awful and sound like a sadistic Squarepusher doing commercial jingles for hungover Christmas shoppers., even if it is a bit negative.

Mention: Music, Evolution and Man
Wed, 2009-12-23 22:17 | by adminHere's our most glowing write-up so far. Marc Freedman liked what he heard and my favourite quote is "It’s not much of a leap to imagine music like this (though far calmer) doled out in Orwell’s 1984 as aural pablum to control the masses."
It's thought-provoking and well worth a read.

I thought maybe our experiment had died in an embarrassing accident, but no, the Darwin Awards website has a list of evolution-related stories and we're currently on the front page.
Mention: Slashdotted!
Mon, 2009-12-21 23:34 | by adminWe've just managed to get the site back on its feet after a slashdotting. We've had up to 80 simultaneous listeners on the public channel, and we're racing past 30k ratings. 32k now! 220 generations.
The server generating the music is having a bit of trouble keeping up, so from time to time, you may hear the same 8 loops for 5 minutes or so. Sorry about that.
