Very good stuff here, haven't had a chance to hear it all yet but soon -- though MaresNest, based on the file names I should note again my last name has two t's in it. :-D

I think that "12XU" was what Colin was trying to make with the recent remake (white label 7")
― Mark G, Wednesday, 5 May 2010 08:29 (fourteen years ago) link
'12 Times You' that was it...

a radical idea: sort the songs by how "good" they are; i.e. put the "best" songs at the beginning and the "worst" songs at the end― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 16:10 (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Okay, wow, finally getting to listen to some of these. Impossible to pick a favorite, but I'm very impressed by the quality and diversity of tracks.
― Olivier Messiaen Control (Paul in Santa Cruz), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I really liked these. Good work all around!
"Heartbeat" was a real showstopper. So epic!

ok everything here is ace but I wanted to say that once on a drunken night bus home I decided that an 8-bit electronic Wire covers project was to be my LIFE'S WORK but I could not make it work out at allanyway M. Mathieu's 12xu is everything I imagined that concept to be and more, much love for that

Listened to this at work today and am pleased, embarrassed and humbled to be in y'all's company. Agree with the poster above that MaresNest set this whole thing up just to show off - "Boiling Boy" is making my next mixtape fer sure. Very well done, all.

so what's next? an ilx kate bush comp? (dibs on "hammer horror" and "oh england my lionheart." i know from past experience that i can do the high notes even if it makes my throat hurt.)
― bette ghent (get bent), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 23:35 (fourteen years ago) link
that would be tight. i had suggested upthread an idea that i will alter slightly. (potentially) beat the-dream to his release date and do Love Viking: An ILX tribute to the-dream
― stupidfruityswagaliciousexpialidocious (m bison), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 23:37 (fourteen years ago) link
that's pretty funny. maybe i can do a monologue admonishing mr. the-dream for rogue hyphenation.
― bette ghent (get bent), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 23:41 (fourteen years ago) link
it is some odd hyphenizing, i'm wondering if there is some 60's girl group called the dream and he threw it in there to avoid BMI/ASCAP confusion or something

The best thing you did was to sequence that burst of applause at the start of Ed III's first tune right after my track ;-)

For future possilbles I was thinking - Echo & The Bunnymen, The Church, The Cure, New Order, PIL maybe.
