What do people think about possibly putting together a comp. of artists on the board?

Might be kinda cool. Discuss..

Best of Lynskey

Do it.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

If the ILX comp is any indication, it will only take two years.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 03:20 (twenty years ago)

was there an ilx comp?!?!

― nervous (cochere), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Are you thinking of a CD-ROM type deal or do you have something more in mind?

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

Nervous, there were 2 ILX comps!

shiiiiit
how on earth did i miss those

anyway if IMM is serious about it i'm down

LETS DO IT GUYZ

― nervous (cochere), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

I'll reissue it...in 20 years.

For many years a degree of acrimony and legal wranglings existed between Selzer and Hurting, and they could not agree on licensing arrangements to make IMM#1 available on CD. (In the ensueing vacuum, illegal and inferior quality bootleg CDs [mastered from old vinyl records] were distributed by an outfit calling themselves 'Ilxofon'.)

Happily, this situation was finally resolved in 2025, when Selzer and Hurting put aside their differences and entered a studio to transfer the classic album to CD, from the original mastertapes (reputedly mastering the album three times to make sure they sounded how they wanted the mass public to hear it). Finally, the world was able to enjoy IMM#1 without having to buy the discs illegally or track down rare, expensive vinyl.

Ilaxos

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

unfortunately, the masters had fallen apart, and no amount of baking could put them together again

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 05:07 (twenty years ago)

I figured this had probably been done befrore on ilx.
But now that we have a dedicated board it's a good time for another, I suppose.

― Alex H (Alex Henreid), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

Since the ILX comps already happened, maybe it would be cooler to pass around a song and have everybody add something to it? Not like I have the facilities to do something like that at the moment.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

That's a cool idea.

― Alex H (Alex Henreid), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Of course, then we'd have the big logic vs. cubase vs. every other music making platform debate...

There are definitely people on this board I'd love to collaborate with (Lynskey, are you ever going to do me a remix?) and it would be interesting to see how it all worked out. However, it probably would take longer than the ILX comps to ever be completed...

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

We could use .omf files. Most programs accept those.

― Alex H (Alex Henreid), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

Or just send the separate tracks as wav files?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

This would totally be a cool thing. Totally.

I would riff my tasty lixx all over it. With my CHOPS.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

That's the album title: CHOPS!!!

― Alex H (Alex Henreid), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

I would prefer to use the OMFG format.

― Confounded (Confounded), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

I have nothing to add.

No really, i don't really have any setup to do such a thing. I'm a fookin drummer, man. But I still like the comp idea, if folks don't think it'd be too redundant. I'm impressed with the overall level of stuff I've heard so far.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

No reason we can't do both.

― Alex H (Alex Henreid), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

Though if someone else wants to record it, I'd be glad to add a guitar, banjo or drum track to whatever it is.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

Everything can always use more percussion. Everything.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

Even an accident in a drum warehouse where some drums fall on a man, trapping him underneath?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Hahahahahaaaa.

I'm completely down for the compilation idea. Just tell me when/where to send a track.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

I'd love to take part somehow, although have no idea how it would be organised

― mzui (mzui), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

There should just be a rolling thread where someone can ysi a track, some piece of sound or whatever, then others can download it, add new stuff, mix and reupload etc. on and on through several ever mutating strands.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

awesome idea :0

― AaronK (AaronK), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

i'm down.

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

I am possibly down with this.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

I still don't have a fucking copy of the ILX comp which I am actually on, so I'm only down with this if I'm actually going to get a copy of it when it's done.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

i'm sharing it on slsk

― vacuum cleaner (electricsound), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

vacuum what's your username?

― nervous (cochere), Thursday, 27 October 2005 06:45 (twenty years ago)

electricsound

― vacuum cleaner (electricsound), Thursday, 27 October 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

everybody stop using my hip lingo, yo.

so, what's the next step, since a lot of people are 'down'?

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 27 October 2005 08:07 (twenty years ago)

Do we decide on a theme? Or go with the eclecticism?

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Thursday, 27 October 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

oh, wait. i read this properly now. i was down with the comp idea. i'm not down with this one. sorry.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 27 October 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

yeah i kind of support g-kit i'd rather do a comp than a piecemeal track

― nervous (cochere), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

add my yea to the comp idea and a nay to the piecemeal track.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 28 October 2005 00:56 (twenty years ago)

YARR!! it be mutiny!

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

And that's the name of the compilation....

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

Subtitle: Sea Shanties from the IMM Massive.

(All songs must be written in 6/8)

― Atheist of Love (kate), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:03 (twenty years ago)

wow, i'm doing well today!
not bad, considering i'm sick as a pike.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Acyually, I kind of love the "all songs in 6/8" requirement. It's not as restricting as the early Raveonettes' gimmicks but just as press-friendly! And we'll get Momus!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Ack-tchu-al-ly.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Yarr! 6/8 be the signature of gods, Yarr

ILX comps take time (for people like me, who couldn't organise a piss-up in a booze factory). I've no intention of making a third one. I have copies of 1 and 2 still. I'm posting Martin's copy in the next couple of days.
