Oh -- I emailed mine to n/a like twenty minutes after I posted that about mixing, so it's all done.

i'm working on this now actually
for people who didn't provide a "band name" i'm just using their ILX moniker. if you would prefer a different name, please let me know
― congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 1 March 2009 16:41 (fifteen years ago) link
grimly otm
n/a, once you post the link I'll work on compiling tracks into one file and uploading to fairilizer
did everybody submit their mp3 at 320kbs? cuz this thing deserves the highest audio fidelity possible.
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Sunday, 1 March 2009 16:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Surely the "band name" for all of these is "U2?"
If you need a different "band name" for mine, for legal reasons, please credit it to "YouToo."

I didn't, oops. I think I can re-encode if I still have the source .WAV as soon as I get out of church.

― congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 1 March 2009 16:59 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm going to upload a version of this to sendspace now and post the link here when it's done; maybe people could download it and make sure it works and everything looks ok and i'll make the needed changes before we "officially" release this ... don't want anyone to be mad that something wasn't credited correctly
― congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 1 March 2009 17:09 (fifteen years ago) link
anybody who wants to upgrade theirs to 320kbs for the streaming version can send me a link

Just listened to this all the way through - it's really good! Great job everyone!
― snoball, Sunday, 1 March 2009 19:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm trying to work at the moment and don't know if this would be the most conducive soundtrack. I'll listen ASAP :)
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 1 March 2009 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link
have listened thru to track 6 so far
all contribs A+
there is a frightening level of mindmeld consistency in fact I suspect these tracks are all the product of crutis sock puppets
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Sunday, 1 March 2009 19:14 (fifteen years ago) link
... not that I'm on SLSK or similar much these days anyway, but the truly lolsome thing would be if some chump downloads it from me :)

Actually, fuck it, it's worth blasting on to every sharing network I can find just to achieve that. (Which was, in some ways, the whole point of the exercise.) Ha!
hahaha this is dope as fukk guys

"it would be awesome if various music people on this board would each claim one of these song titles, then write and record a song with that title, then put a link to it on this board. the songs don't have to sound like U2 or have anything to do with U2 at all. the u2 album comes out march 3, if we could get this all done before then, it would be awesome. anyone interested?"
^^ this goes in the liner notes obv

Is the above link for public dissemination yet? Really, this should be being heard by a tonne of folk.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 1 March 2009 19:54 (fifteen years ago) link
I think n/a wanted ppl to check it out to make there weren't any probs before distributing so maybe we keep it to ourselves + have big launch tomorrow?
also, anyone who didn't submit a 320kbs version has until tomorrow afternoon EST to get it to me, if you want one in the streaming version which will be ready tomorrow night (I have yrs m bison, thx)
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Sunday, 1 March 2009 20:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Mine is 320kbs, but it's VBR, is that OK?
― snoball, Sunday, 1 March 2009 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
close enough for rock n roll but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a CBR version if you wanna send one
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Sunday, 1 March 2009 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
No problem, I've just mixed the track to 320CBR, but ILX webmail doesn't allow attachments. Do you have an e-mail address I can send it to?
― snoball, Sunday, 1 March 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
I love y'alls so much for this

Sorry for dragging down the quality, but per the houseguests excuse, I spent about 30 minutes tossing mine together with crappy direct-in guitars, and I get the feeling the 192 bitrate actually leaves it sounding slightly better than it otherwise might, so ... I'll stick with that, I guess?
(P.S. I am more curious than ever about Tombot's very cool and distinctive approach to reverb.)

No worries.

I kinda feel bad about the cover now. I mean, if the goal is to trick megaU2 fans into downloading it, as soon as they see some lady Bono rising up from the bottom of the ocean and chasing some blue lady wearing sunglasses up a ladder they're going to realize it's not legit.

xpost :)
Hmm. "U2 fans" is a large population. So even if the proportion of really fucking stupid ones is the same as it is in any normal population (and you might, if you were being all zingy and ILX about it, say it'd be higher), that's still a shitload of people who might just fall for it, no matter what ;)
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 1 March 2009 22:50 (fifteen years ago) link
should i put the real cover with the post then?
the Z S cover is included in the download right

i dont think the goal is to trick u2 fans is it

i thought the goal was just to be rad

This is not a fake U2 album, it's just a not-U2-covers album inspired by U2 song titles, with varying degrees of whimsy.
