let's release the U2 album before U2 releases the U2 album

close enough for rock n roll but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a CBR version if you wanna send one

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?

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.)

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?

No worries.

Genuinely, dudes, you all fucking rule.

lol rox did u just leak the fake leak of the u2 album or

hahaha

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.

Z S, you would be amazed how retarded people are

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 ;)

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.

just another themed ILX comp basically

i think it's somwhere in between!

it is for our enjoyment!

if a few tards download it all the better

and yeah this is great!!! <3 u all, listening at work

I think you guys should call this comp Us2 - No Line on the Horizon Preinterpreted.

Ok, I'm quoting both you and crut if that's ok and reupping.

People will probably still download it thinking it's U2, though. for real.

if a few tards download it all the better

I think we can all agree on that!

one song in and this is love

I'm gonna leak this thing so hard

Just emailed you a link to the 320kbps version

'breathe' is KILLING me right now

snoball I sent you my email addy

elvis t I got yr file thx

Crutis the crooton told me about this thread. I can't believe it's buried away on the "I Make Music" board. You didn't tell me you'd done a track for this Crutis!

This is ILM creativity at its finest! I am so happy that people have come forth and expressed themselves and made this thing. This is fantastic. Why don't you guys post about this on ILM?

Sorry for dragging down the quality

is this something to engage in a lot of handwringing over? it's in the wild now. if you want to download it, change the artist title on the files to U2, swap out ZS's artwork for the real stuff, and upload it to yr blog, how are we gonna stop you? this is a lark and anything that brings more lulz is welcome afaic.

I'm glad to have the version w/ everybody's names, I don't think I could upload this to fairtilizer as teh new U2 album. prolly would get yanked off the site with a quickness.

Can't we at least have an I Make Music Myspace page?

i think this should def be use to dupe rubes

there is no handwringing occuring edward

I don't really care about tricking anyone, I think pretty much everything everyone did on here is awesome and shd be heard

Kind of downbeat for a U2 record, ennit?

this basically knocks U2 outta the park tbqfh

we should do more and more of these, albeit with wisely-chosen targets

lol it is probably for the best that my droney 10-minute song isn't on here because Tombot did it way better anyway

when does Relapse come out

I'm still tripping off fucked up shark and dilapidated crocodile

got irl lols from that line, as well as basically all of nabsico's song

dude your song was pretty much straight up genius

holy shit "Cedars of Lebanon" is epic

320kbs update for audiophile dillweeds:

dan - were you able to gen a 320kbs version of "moment of surrender"?

alextc - are you interested in submitting a 320kbs version?

snoball - assume you are sending me one shortly

tom's is 270 VBR - dan, can you ask him if he wants to send a link to a 320kbs version?

nabisco - plz reconsider yr stance, that satire's deep like plush velvet seats and 192kbs makes baby jesus cry

aw thanks dan, I was about to apologize for not delivering on this concept:

Ned's spoken words definitely have to be the closing of the album with some background music or something (eheh, I've just imagined it with a funky synth track a la "thriller"'s vincent price's rap !)

though it's surprising how much ned sounds like the prince of darkness if you drop his voice a half-step
