I call why worship death

If someone wants to make an instrument track but doesn't want to sing we would be an ideal combo. But I can cobble together a song easily enough in a worst-case scenario.

edward iii - why worship death
polyphonic - ?
grannykart (me) - laugh a little

i feel like LJ needs to tackle L’ENVOI, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

I would be thrilled to sing "evil purpose", but i'm not picky.

The album is on p1rate bay fwiw

ppl lacking real audio can also check out the tracks here

http://vimeo.com/5544877

What's the plan here? Are we going with Wire comp style covers or U2 comp style "write an unrelated song with the same title"?

I am definitely doing a cover.

What's the plan here? Are we going with Wire comp style covers or U2 comp style "write an unrelated song with the same title"?

a combo platter of both! the titles really lend themselves to interpretation.

how about sunday, march 13 for a soft deadline, and sunday, march 27 as "last call"?

OK I call 'Make It Go Right'.
Two stage deadline is a good idea, 13/27 March is fine by me.

EIII I expect greatness f5r4om "Why Worship Death?". I better convert like immediately after hearing this song.

Hmm this is tempting.

Can I tentatively snag "the evil purpose"?

I have Reznorian visions.

Oh boy, I call 'The Worried Being'

i'll take The Good Go Free. I haven't listened to it yet so I don't know if I'm doing a cover or a reconceptualization.

Yeah if i do this Im not covering it, im just gonna do my own take a la the 'no line' comp.

the o.g. "laugh a little" comes from some alternate universe where coil produced the lion king soundtrack.

http://vimeo.com/5545042

awugh! That is so creepy!

oh my god i'm actually listening to "the good go free" now ... oh my god

Im too scared to listen to these in case thetans invade my brain.

it sounds like a kenny loggins song, if kenny loggins were lobotomized

I cant decide if thats truly frightening or the best thing ever.

anyone wanna duet with me?

shit is terrifying

I would like THE ARC SONG. But it won't be 20 minutes long. Probably.

Some hilarious stories here about the original (and other) albums.

Staff were ordered to sing "Make it Go Right" after every weekly staff meeting, which became very robotic and another thing to "endure". Probably still happening.

anyone wanna duet with me?

If you do all the work I'll add my backing vox to it.

oh god thank you for that

xp

I would be really happy to play guitar and/or drums for any ilxor in the NYC area on this effort, but I don't have a recording setup so I can't send tracks.

so is someone actually collecting these? and there are still a few unclaimed tracks, right?

I'd be happy to curate, but we kinda need a little more interest to get all the tracks claimed first I guess.

how many are left?

i think i'm almost done with "the good go free." it's more of an interpolation/remix than a cover.

We're not meant to do covers, right? Cos I'm totally not wanting to do a cover.

my idea was that if you want to do a cover, great, if you just want to "interpret" based on the title, also great.

i started the thread and was set to be the compiler, but if maresnest wants to do it i'm happy to hand over the reins.

no one has taken "the way to happiness" yet? I can do dat

Appropriately, the rhythms employ Ron’s signature surge and his carefully composed melodies fully integrate with a message that effectively sums up both this album and his life:

"To you there is no limit, knowledge is your key

Take the route of auditing and once again be free."

btw can anyone tell what they are saying in the chorus of the song I just took ("The Way to Happiness")

(the thing that is actually supposed to BE "the way to happiness"
it sounds kinda like "soul truth"??)

thinking of just changing it to "soul music"

Are there still titles free to do? If so, put me down for one.

you can also do something from these hubbard-related records:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Earth_%28album%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Jazz

"Terl, The Security Director" has gotta be good.

Ok, I thought the idea was to that people did all the titles of one of his releases. But if there's another open slot I'll gladly take it.

to

okay, "the spacer's lot" has got to be amazing

songs/titles to choose from:

"The Road to Freedom"
"The Way to Happiness"
"The Worried Being"
"The Evil Purpose"
"Laugh a Little"
"The Good Go Free"
"Why Worship Death?"
"Make It Go Right"
"The ARC Song"

and the non-road to freedom hubbard songs:

"Golden era of Sci Fi"
"Funeral for a Planet"
"March of the Psychlos"
"Terl, The Security Director"
"Jonnie"
"Windsplitter"
"The Mining Song"

the wikipedia page left off:

L’ENVOI, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

Ok, if it doesn't necessarily have to be one from the original album, I'll choose "Alien Visitors Attack". Otherwise I'll take whatever is up for grabs.

Okay, so judging by what's upthread this is the shape of it so far, any corrections plz holler.

Hang on, poly said they'd do evil purpose if someone'd write the music for them. I didnt see that and I nabbed it too.

I guess I can do something else.

Yes plz Trayce join in on the Scientological-Hauntological-Philantropological fun too! :-)

You can send them to me and I'll store them all and get some art done etc:

Only £500 for your first course.

OK guys I'm in for March of the Psychlos

Nice Matt, be sure to include mellotrons.

Plural intentional btw

Mellotron percussion tape frame here I come

Trayce I think you should do Evil Purpose. I think I'm better suited for adding a vocal track if anyone wants one.

Well maybe if I do an instro i can send it to you to vocalise! I cant promise anything I come up with will be *good* mind u.

Oh man I missed out on this thread. I wish I could get on board, this is such a ridiculous album as source inspiration! I have heard it! It is really bad. I guess the last "Thanks for listening" track isn't really taken - I could do it. Its fucking nutso L Ron trying to be a crooner or whatever - I think the whole thing was his idea of doing like a Jackie Gleason-produced smooth pop album or something. I love how Chick Corea is always willing to throw away any shred of cred for $cientology...

but if we're extending things to whatever those songs are from I want "Funeral for a Planet" !!! What a title!

Shit I am going to have to back out. All of my stuff is broken and I am broke, soooo... Someone else take The ARC Song and fly! FLY!

you know what kills planets don't you? suppressive persons...

but blasting nukes in volcanoes will only fuck a planet up for a few million years.

Will take whatever's available.

SOMEONE has to do "L'Envoi Thank You For Listening" -- that thing is the funniest.

Well maybe if I do an instro i can send it to you to vocalise!

Let's do this.

seriously where is LJ and why hasn't he already claimed L'ENVOI THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

poly - I'll do my best! I'm a timidly bad songwriter but I'll see wot I can do.

There needs to be some nasty whispering in it tho imo.

^ sabotage, they've found out where you live

Copy and paste this one!

Can I work with Viceroy on "L'ENVOI, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING"? I'm new to recording my own stuff but I now have garageband for the mac and also a most excellent out of tune harmonium which I think is probably necessary for such a track. If my invitation is accepted we definitely need an LJ vocal, too.

we definitely need an LJ vocal, too.

Define "need" here

LJ is away somewhere at the moment, isn't he?

He eloped with a kiwi, I believe.

sounds prickly.

i'm cool with pushing the deadline back. call it, friendos.

Can I do an Arc Song too? It can be a trilogy.

hum i think gottpunch is no longer doing arc song

arc song definitely needs to be an epic multi-movement collabo

... if anyone would be interested in putting such a thing together. (once again: we need LJ!)

Okay I am pushing back the deadline to Sunday March 27th (soft) and Sunday April 10th (erm...hard)

anyone up for doing the entire album in the style of commodore 64 composer ron hubbard?
e.g.
ron hubbard
by
ron hubbard

Are they all taken then?

The ron ones arent - sash u should do "alien visitors attack", haw.

i've made a ron-hubbard-style medley of the 3 songs i could find youtubes of: http://k002.kiwi6.com/hotlink/hb88oaz0ye
(the intro is the knack, because i needed to ease into the thing)
feel free to sample (or finish chiptuning the entire album!)

Philip, if you want to do stuff with the other songs:

ppl lacking real audio can also check out the tracks here

http://vimeo.com/5544877

wait which ones aren't taken????

oh! I see.

I would like to do "Cry Out"

" if you want to do stuff with the other songs:

http://vimeo.com/5544877";

ok i have to admit the real reason is after three, I just couldn't take any more of it!

man, i'd love to do one of these but no instruments/recording equipment to speak of. maybe i can do guest screaming on get bent's track?

I'll take Trayce's suggest and do 'Alien Visitors Attack' Thinking of some Add N to X style stuff but will probably just turn out droney bollocks (with 'The Drone' being too obvious)

re: no instruments/recording equipment -- you don't need either to make chiptunes!
(i'm using renoise, but there are many many other free software, and they are about as difficult to use as excel)

Its ok S your stuff is all old droney bollocks anyway j/k dont hit me ow.

man, i'd love to do one of these but no instruments/recording equipment to speak of. maybe i can do guest screaming on get bent's track?

this could be fun! let's see how far i get, i've been busy/lazy lately.

MaresNest - how do you want these sent to you and any particular format desired?

Heya, high quality Mp3, Wav or FLAC is good. YSI, Mediafire or whatever your chosen medium for sending, use my PM mail.
I will collate another list tomorrow to get an up to date look at who's doing what.

ok. i think mine's done but i can't decide if i want to hold it until closer to the deadline in case i want to tweak it more. i'm kind of tired of listening to it though and i want to work on other stuff so i'll probably send it along soon.

Cool, yours will be the first in!

alright, i messaged you. let me know if you didn't get it.

i'm almost done with mine! it's a two-parter.

ppl who mentioned interest in contributing — any of y'all want to sing backing vocals (or maybe duet?) on "the way to happiness"?

Trayce, I emailed you a draft!

I got it! I went to reply but stupid webmail doesnt inc your email address hehe. Are those the vocals of the actual song? I wasnt planning on doing a cover - but I'm happy to mash em up in some dastardly way :D

Yeah, that's the song. I'm down with doing a cover tho

Mash-up would also be cool.

I meant "down with not doing a cover".

Hey N/A, got the Wav file, checks out fine, great stuff.

At the moment yes, but seeing as there are a few people still coming in, we can re-jig dates if necessary.

Crap I tht deadline was further away :( poly i am sorry I haven't gotten anything much done yet I'll try this weekend :(

It's cool, Trayce I think a few people, myself included are behind schedule too :)

i will try and record something this weekend. had a gig to prepare for the past two weeks.. i hope to write some theremin parts for the song..

poly i am sorry I haven't gotten anything much done yet I'll try this weekend :(

No sweat, I hate what I did anyway!

I will have my thing done this week.

I will have mine done by the end of the week, once I've trudged through mix hell...

here's the chiptune medley for "THE ROAD TO FREEDOM" and two other songs I don't know the names of again, suitable for sampling (I hope y'all do sample, otherwise i've listened to these musics about 20x in a row for nothing!)
and also two more samples where I tried my best to isolate Tom Cruise from the fake mission impossible bassline from those leaked scientology vids.
(his laugh is astoundingly like Vincent Price's from Thriller, if you were looking for a place to insert such a sample)

I guess we are going to smash right through that deadline, but don't stress, let's just see how it plays out.

thought hard deadline was next sunday, yes?

Yes indeed, but I don't expect everybody to be done by then.

now you've done it

the correct answer was "submit by sunday or cry outside the gates of freedom forever"

Yep, that certainly diverted attention away from the shameful subtext.

Starting to think I don't have the chops to finish my song on my own. Anyone who wants to take a stab at "Evil Purpose" is welcome to. I will keep trying though.

I (crüt) just emailed u my track, MaresNest.

Great, will pick that up tomorrow, thanks.

Feel really bad I bailed on this, :(

Hey crüt, got that, awesome!

:-)

And to think I thought u were ch4k1

track sent, rec room vibe, lazy rhymes, a tribute to ned raggett, etc

Hahah nice.

It's the law, all ILX albums have to include a reference to Our Lord Ned.

so i sorta forgot about this but i'll try to bang something out today or tomorrow. where do I send the mp3?

PM to maresnest

S'all good, this is going to be so very cool, you are all awesome.

Also, I'm going to need the text for how you each want to be represented, band name and/or ILX handle etc:

I'll be sending mine to you this weekend, MaresNest.

Wait - tomorrow morning or tomorrow evening? Sorry I've been in Portreath all week climbing all over wheals & learning all about proper Cornish
mining to give my song more... authenticity! (hell I nearly fell down a mineshaft outside of Redruth) but if it's tomorrow evening I can totally make it- what better way to spend my birthday?

Haha, don't stress Kate, send it through when you are ready, I'm still waiting on a couple, have yet to mix mine and the artwork is still up in the air.

I emailed you "The Evil Purpose"!

hello! is it okay if i send you my file next week? really sorry! was all ready to record then life got in the way!!!!!

i reckon i can have it ready by wednesday night..

No problems.

I just sent you my track via PM, MaresNest. Could you please let me know if you've received it? Ta!

Okay, got three in - Le Bateau, Bernard and Polyphonic.

Matt and I finished ours tonght, so Kate and Ken's to go iirc. Won't cut and paste the list tonight because I'm typing in the dark. We had a quick scan through the submissions so far, have to say it has really brought out the dark side of you ILX people :)

Also, can't settle on a title, helps.

Hahah I can't wait to hear this.

Nah, too long

maresnest — I didn't send you mine yet... not sure who's impersonating me D:

having troubles with mine... I'm thinking of scraping what I have and going full acapella. You'll def. get mine within a couple of days tho! By wed. if all goes well!

I. Love Music & Friends - The Road to LOLdom

Hello sorry - I have actually finished it (it was done Sunday night) but I've been porting it about and obsessively listening to it on different systems to check the mastering - which I've decided is horrible and muddy and bass heavy as normal so I'm gonna go home tonight and remaster it without all the compression on the kick and the bassline and see if I like it any better.

Even if I don't, you'll have it on Wednesday honest.

L.Ron Hubbard waiting in my cupboard.

p.s. sorry B Snowy :)

this is really happening

Am I the only person who used the original lyrics?

I didn't even listen to the original song.

i used (ie sampled) a very small portion of the original lyrics

I'm with snoball on this one

I have very limited musical abilities.

I didn't listen to the original song either. The title was inspiring enough.

mine is an identical note for note reproduction, y'all are just a bunch of lazy bums

i've got serious respect for anyone who did a real cover, those songs are nuts

my song was "inspired by" the original, but it ended up going in a pretty different direction.

Remastered and sent.

I tried doing a straight cover, but it just sounded utterly ridiculous, so instead I took one of the riffs in the song and the lyrics and built a new song around it like I was remixing it. So I'm hoping that I preserved enough of the original song to be appropriate.

almost ready! i'll finish off tonight and you'll have it tomorrow am.

kinda bummed nobody picked up "l'envoi, thank you for listening"

ned can you record these "lyrics" and I will put them over "disco inferno" or 5 minutes of oscillator noise or something... however I doubt it will ever match the sheer insanity that is the original...

Thank you for listening
I write just for you
But others hearing this may find
Things they would argue.

I do not sing what I believe
I only give them fact
If they believe quite otherwise,
It still will have impact.

For truth is truth and if they then
Decide to live with lies
That’s their concern, not mine, my friend,
They’re free to fantasize.

has nobody picked up 'envoi thank you for listening???????? omg that's the one i wanted to do originally.

if the ned version doesn't happen i can segue this from arc song let me know..

Haha easily done. I'll record this tonight. I may do two versions.

problem solved! :D

A Ned vocal is the cherry on our deranged Th3tan cake.

Nearly there, will wait till everybody's submissions are in before sequencing (duh) still no closer to a title, but I like dia-NED-ics

poll

^^^

needs more suggestions imho

wait I just reread the thread and wanted to confirm viceroy isn't doing "l'envoi, thank you for listening"? he dropped off the list between april 4 and april 12...

xp so far there's:

• "Do not thank us if you haven't listened" ― Mark G
• "Are you Thetaning me?" ― ken c
• "dia-NED-ics" ― get bent
• "Level VIII OTM" ― bernard snowy
• "the sounds of sciento_Ogy" ― bernard snowy
• "I. Love Music & Friends - The Road to LOLdom" - Viceroy

Do not thank us if you haven't listened
Are you Thetaning me?
the road to sbdom
SPSB
dia-NED-ics
floof bomb
Level VIII OTM
the sounds of sciento_Ogy
The Road to LOLdom

Dianedics is great

Aw, Xenupaws

don't want ned to get r2-45'd tho

Actually I picked up L'Envoi but I haven't done anything much with it... so I'd be happy to pass it on. Sorry!

oh, forgive me for this...Thetan Roffles

lol @ oh, xenupaws

i broke down and did my take on "terl the security director" from the battlefield earth album. will upload and ping our leader soon.

and with that, i submit the title "forever your terl"

Got that GB, and Kate too, awes!

OK almost done tune ready i just need to finish the vocals (which i can't do now as it's 03:18 and i have neighbours!) will try and do this tomorrow before i go to work and then send if not, tomorrow eve!!!

err.. better go to bed!

Haha check your FB messages m'friend.

dyin ovah here

Hahah. And which do you prefer?

"Dianetallica - The Modern Science of Metal Health (will drive you mad)"
"Scientogony Recapitulates Scientolgeny"
"Covert Hostility, Overt Hilarity"
"SPs with Advanced Degrees"
"Thank Xenu For Listening"
"The Now Sound from Way, Way Too Far Out"
"CHICK COREA!!! (is not on this album)"

no lron on the horizon

that's an l, not an i

How funny would it be if they issued ilx a ceasendesist over this lol

got elron if you want it

ARC music factory

How funny would it be if they issued ilx a ceasendesist over this lol

it's a tribute! we love scienos!

"The Now Sound from Way, Way Too Far Out"

ha, songpoetry time...

unfortunately due to time constraints, ned and I won't be able to contribute the final track

however I have since been contacted by an ilxor named n. don rullerd who has agreed to provide it this very evening! huzzah!

"RON MAEL!!! (is not on this album)"

mine is done!!! maresnest can you please pm your email addy? thanks!!!

oh i see. i'll put it on soundcloud and pm link thx!"

maresnest, did you receive n. don rullerd's contribution? everyone present and accounted for?

put on mediafire and sent link to you, maresnest!!!

okay, I had a bunch of personal shit unexpectedly and unpleasantly hit the fan earlier this week, but I'm good now — gonna eat some dinner, have a beer or two, and then power through my po-faced cover of the schlockfest that is "the road to happiness" — should have it up in the next few hours; and I apologize for the holdup

done! ifile link headed yr way, mares
(it ended up being a bit longer than I anticipated — hopefully nobody minds, but you can feel free to fade it down at any point during the extended outro jam...)

MaresNest, reading Bernard's post I am in doubt now whether I titled my song correctly. I had 'The Road to Freedom', have I mistaken it for 'The Road to Happiness'? I cannot access the computer I made it on atm. Thanks.

Scientology sure paves ways towards freedom and happiness, what a joyous cult it is!

Hey all, will collate remaining tracks tomorrow and answer your question LBI.

LBI — no, that was my mistake; mine is called "the WAY to happiness" (despite including a lot of cheezy road metaphors) — easy mistake to make, obv

Yeah it is, that's why I wondered, thanks for clearing it up (and good luck today!)

what should ILX call its l ron hubbard tribute album???

Hey all, well I have everything together now,well done everybody! This time next week (or sooner) I will post the comp, just need to check the relative levels, edit tags, finish artwork, sequence and settle on a title.

I will post the unsequenced tracklist as per the artwork soon and if anybody has any tweaks let me know.

I was planning to include the ILX handle as well as band name, again if anybody has different ideas about how they will appear let me know.

Basically just let me know.

me know.

p.s. Ed3 is our mystery guest LJ?

pm sent

Gotcha

should've included yr dn in the title poll

idea for next comp: "now that's what i call ilx" (we cover/mutilate the pop hits of the day)

Damn straight, a broad spectrum covers comp is a great idea.

Born That Day

i'll start the thread!

I am *not* covering 'Hocus Pocus' Ned

how's this going?

1) title poll closes today
2) design cover art
3) profit

4) spend all profit defending against C0S lawsuit

5) Stealing Katie Holmes away from Tom Cruise, once she's presented our undeniably strong case. Tom will be on Oprah again talking about how ILX lured his wife away. He will also jump up and down on a couch again, only this time he will fall through it with one leg. Trying to Thetan-balance himself he falls backwards over the couch on the floor and dies. Oprah quickly cancels her big surprise of having fusilli Tom Cruise's under all audience members' seats. After the show she collects all of them and makes a nice meal of it for her girlfriend.

Cover art being designed (awaiting title obv)

Made the comp 320kbps MP3, most of the submissions were of higher quality, will get around to including the higher res versions in the ftp if anybody asks/cares.

I didn't upload the 77 second comp why because so many songs but will prolly upload this to official.fm or whatever fairtilizer is calling itself this week

are we close?

Hey, yes I am, I've been waiting for my friend who has been formailising the tracklist artwork for me and he's dissappeared since yesterday, been trying to get through all day today. So we can either wait one day or I can throw it out now with out he finished art and follow that up tomorrow, thoughts?

now now now now wanna hear this

Agreed

yes pls

Okay then, bear with me for a short while, zipping and upoading now.

That just sounds wrong, somehow.

unloading and zipping up now

Oh bugger I hate the IPhone sometimes, will get on the laptop.

xp scanning for viruses...

That just sounds wrong, somehow.

I vote "wait for the art", me.

Still uploading, about 15 mins and were there, maybe a friendly mod could adjust the name of this thread?

art is rockist! content now!

Sorry Mark, I really wanted to have everything in place, hence the radio silence today but it looks like you are out-voted at the moment feller.

IT BEGINS

Well done to everybody involved, t'was a pleasure listening to everyone's contributions and a breeze to sequence.

Also, this is pretty out there in the main so any liveblogging however brief would be nice.

i'm liveblogging my download: 81%, 4 minutes remaining

ok lol @ this sequencing (great so far, btw, on like the third track)

looking at the track list and i don't see my second track :-(

Oh shite, track 4 is missing that's why.

I have grabbed it. Starting now. Still sad I didn't get to be a part of this.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, GB, It's missing from the rot file in my dropbox so I won't be able to replace it until tomorrow unless you link me it over somehow now.

gimme a minute...

<3 the first track, and am pissing myself over ken.

Um, not in that way.

He rules, would like to have heard you do something too emily

the missing terl:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/bws8d5

On it...

downloading!

Hopefully I'll get to grips with garageband soon, though I'm terrible at stuff like this.

Should I grab that file even though it's a .wav or should I wait until it's assimilated?

........E3.......

might as well wait for mr. nest!

loving this so far (on KDT's song)

Yeah, me too, this is all fantastic.

Backatcha with tagging etc:

So sorry GB! :/

lol ken's is awesome

EDWARRRRRD!

Ken C is a genius.

So far everyone on ilx is a genius.

edward

So sorry GB! :/

no worries, much obliged, etc!

o hai

guess I need to stop otomata jamming and dig this huh

omg edward

omg bernard snowy (don't want edward to get a big head)

Yeah, I thought bernard's might be a bit too simple when it started, but that was fucking great. Would be in a cult with.

So far this is kind of a cohesive album somehow.

N DON RULLERD

I love you guys.

n don rullerd and the second get bent track are my favs so far

You're a liar.

(Hoping I have the reference right or I'll just look like a cock.)

boat shoes are definitely the way to happiness.

the rollins bit? yeah.

lol @ boat shoes.

Le Bateau's is breaking my brain.

Crüt's is very lovely.

i could listen to crut's on repeat at night and have a very interesting sleep

"bangbang" into "the good go free" = gorgeous transition

Here it is again (the whole schmear) with everything intact.

:D thanks y'all
downloading this now, can't wait to see what everyone else did with theirs

ken c's song is like a really good song imo

maybe I just like how british ppl say epilepsy tho

Aw, and it's over. Polyphonic's is a wonderful end. But....... I'm gonna listen to it again.

i am proud of you all

hiphop is from NYC. be careful what you wish for.

haha wrong thread

you wish!

thanks for all the shout outs!

this comp really brought out the weird in y'all, me like the freaked out vibe

think we need to poll bernard's ways to happiness

in other news official.fm is being a twat, might have to move this party to soundcloud

oh god bernard did you just burp and excuse yrself in the middle of yr song I think I luv u

good manners = the way to happiness!

I was all "wow, they've sampled Kate Radley"

Then I realised I'd put the wrong disc in.

I got up to track 4, but will start from track 1 again fro trip home...

(of course, it's all marv, and the real track 1 has some sort of connection to track 1 of "Lads and Gents", sort of)

ladies and gentlemen, we are goofing the floof

I listened to some of this last night and it was rad, but then I realised Songbird had put the tracks in the wrong order (not a tags problem, I had somehow clicked on "please play my tracks in alphabetical order of artist") and I wanted to hear it in the right order so I'm saving it for tonight.

Wish I could listen at work but I think the amount of roffling might be inappropriate to the office environment.

Le Bateau's is breaking my brain.

Downloading now, cannae wait!

finally listened to this. some crazy shit. my faves that hadn't been mentioned yet are kate's, snoball's and uh mine. edward iii's is fantastic though.

aw thx mang

I sorted out my official.fm issues and the thing is now available for streaming and downloading and posting to yr twitters and yr facebooks and whatnots

http://official.fm/playlists/60920

This is indeed all pretty great!

need to know if I convinced abbott to convert

i don't think blackout/matt #2 has been mentioned yet as one of the standouts, so I'M DOING IT NOW. hrmph.

my favorite track tbh

that is some evil scientist jammin

this thread died too young.

Yeah, this needs way more love. Come on, people.

I like it a lot! It was the first thing I dl'ed when our power came back on. I'm going to give it a couple more listens before I list favorites.

I think it's great the way that we've all landed on this weirdness/drones/acoustic/synth noises vibe.

<3 <3 <3 the drones, the wobbly oscillations, the guitar distortion, the fake-out "earnest" acoustic ballads that are really funny

as always, would like to see more women involved next time. rah to ms. tregaskin for stepping up.

kate always brings a quality game 2 these comps

she def did the best production job

Damn! Absolutely typical that this came out when I was in Cornwall with minimal interweb. (no internet receipt down tinmines.) Downloading now, and can't wait to hear it! Sounds like it's a barrel of weird. In the best possible way.

It really truly is.

i'm gonna play the second half this morning to further appreciate the dronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnesssssss

but first: the marvelous "way to happiness"!

Only getting around to listening to this now. Marvellous outro on Ken C's track!

Everything is great, esp. the Tregaskin/Grannykvlt twofer. But WOW the Way to Happiness!

still wish somebody would poll the various ways to happiness

any guesses on the "laugh a little pt. 2" samples? emil.y got one with the rollins band's "liar."

Kraftwerk!

xpost

Either Kraftwerk or sex crime, anyway.

soul train

Here is the finalised artwork guys.

https://www.yousendit.com/download/MEtUZXQrYSs3N0R2Wmc9PQ

Bumpin' this beautiful barrel of weird!

The opener is hauntologically unsettling. I love The Gospel of Ken C (the organ wins it, mahn!). Karen D's 'Mining Song' made me think of Dirty Projectors (hope that's no insult to you, I for one love it). Snoball's is so much fun to listen to (*toot toot*), Edward III's <3 <3 <3 lovely Miami-vibe, love the piano too. Bernard Snowy's naked and ace rendition would make me a believer, Get Bent & Crüt's darkness is great, as is Mark G's slow jam. I love it all, basically.

This has just turned out a fantastic record, y'all!

Edward III's <3 <3 <3 lovely Miami-vibe, love the piano too.

i didn't know there was an actual video! this has brightened/ruined my day! is he wearing pink socks?

Oh wow, didn't know it was a sample! Very nice!

I sampled/cut up a smash number one hit from 1999 for my strings at the middle/end of the song. Lifelong kudos if you guess which song!

sorry if I ruined "into the night" for anybody lol
