Actually, some folks on the ambient list at hyperreal were involved with a similar
idea.  There were two projects, one which was a continuous remix tape, and another
which was just a series of tapes with original tracks, each participant adding their
own piece.  Unfortunately it really didn't seem to work out too well, because people
would neglect to pass the tape on or would change email addresses without letting the
list members know.  I was part of the original submission chain but never received a
single tape.  A good idea but it requires 100% commitment from the participants or
else it will tank halfway through.
