It would be awesome if you'd document these things in the wiki somehow, 
perhaps even get it integrated in the official guidelines. I've worked 
with these (well, "Fight Beats, Part 2: 2006") as "Album", but it should 
probably be "Compilation" by your comments. OTOH, not all of the beats 
were previously released and they were all produced specifically for 
this release. But then "Fight Beats" should probably be changed from 
Compilation to Album...
