ILX Compilation v6: FREESTYLER - rock your microphone

so this is coming out this weekend right? heh

it's sad, i've already gone through the full lifecycle with my contribution: while i was making it i was obsessed and thought that perhaps it represented something -new-, then i picked apart all the little things i hate about it, then i accepted it as at least having elements that were ok and not embarrassing, and then the elements that i thought were ok got annoying and now i'm pretty sure i want no one to hear it

This was my very first song that I consciously contributed ideas to (2nd song ever tbh) and I didn't go through any of those stages but I do feel that this experience has given me a bit more of the fighting spirit. I guess that's good.

I'm already considering redoing my vocals cos since this started ive had singing lessons and I can do a better job now!

My voice has broken, balls dropped, gone through puberty and now staring senility and death in the face in the time it's taken this thing to come out

maybe it's wise to wait longer. soon these songs will be artifacts of a long forgotten age

i met ken over the weekend and did not maul him; impressive restraint, really

I take it he is a broken man though

he did not score a goal ffs

My tune's been gathering dust for a decade and a half anyway so this delay by Ken makes little difference to me

It's D-Day motherfuckerrrr

That's why it was delayed: we needed the individual building metering data...

leaked!

Veracity still unconfirmed obv but I knew it couldn't stay under wraps forever. So hyped for this now.

Taken down now - ken's goons sure work fast

ironically

could we have an update please the ken c?

If I may give myself a deadline of 4th May I'll be able to have it all ready by then.

how can we ever trust you again

May 4th, 2014... the day the music died.

Guys it's gonna be ok

Is there any timezone when this is still 4th May?

I didn't know it was so difficult to upload shit onto soundcloud! it doesn't seem to read any of my .flac tags.

also difficult, putting a bunch of .flac files into a bin/cue for CD burning???? still working on that, otherwise i'll just upload a zip file with all the flac and the .cue somewhere and you should be able to burn onto CD

Ismael is that a Ride drum sample?

Aaaarrrggghhh. Shitty wi-fi won't let me hear this.

i was wondering why it wouldn't play for me. is that why?

MaresNest htf did you spot that?! It's the intro to Dreams Burn Down, chopped up slightly.

The two episodes where it drops out of time a little are down to me messing up when trying to change tempo, obviously Loz is blameless as ever.

Just geeky I guess :) Although Loz is all over the shop in that little intro, Bonham he ain't

Loving Tom's multitracked Fripp guitars

Thanks ken. Sorry for bustin' your chops.

Are people listening to this on Soundcloud? If so, how the feck are they doing it?

I'm listening to it via the soundcloud iphone app, seems to be working fine.

On my macbook at home, working fine too

i can't get it to do anything either, bit shit as i'm itching for some february 2014 nostalgia.

listening at work. no problems.

I listened to the whole thing without any problems

At this moment I am on one of my perennial coach journeys from hell (actually from Glasgow to London) (but hey it's cheap) and am subject to the in-coach WiFi so can absolve ken of any blame this time.

dig yr Fripp/Rother guitar playing Tom, no amount of money would persuade me to suffer thru one of those Glasgow-London coach trips again tho :p

this is really good

it holds together suprisingly well as a weird little lo-fi experimental pop record haha

Good stuff. Lots of instrumentals and near-instrumentals.

just listening to this now!

i still can't get it to play!

yay! thanks ken and contributors. sounding good so far.

this is very nice

particularly enamoured w/ ken's, NBS' and trayce's

oh and NA/LL obvs

but a very consistent set and it makes for a sweet listen-thru
