Love the Outdoor Miner minature.

Looks like we're going to smash right through that end of March deadline, but that's what they are there for.

^d8: just need vocals, instrumental is done

I'll probably be done by the weekend.

"strange" is done, just holding onto it in case I get some last minute remix inspiration

"106 beats that" will be completed upon my return to RI on the 28th, down to the wire

pun intended

Mine is done, but I'll listen through it again tomorrow to check it's ok. Um, is a 6 minute track acceptable? Not really in the spirit of Wire I know.

glad this is picking up steam! looking fwd to hearing more of the submissions.

oh man, how did I miss this? still room for potential submission?

Nabisco, of course!

6 Mins is fine, hell 16 mins is fine.

I'll see if I can get one together! Ha, too bad "Field Day for the Sundays" already got claimed.

It's not claimed at all! No vox on it!

6 Mins is fine, hell 16 mins is fine

oh, don't say that

5/10 (6.00)
Torch It! (7.25)
99.9 (7.42)
Over Theirs (9.24)
23 Years Too Late (9.46)
(A Chicago) Drill (12.22)
Crazy About Love (15.26)

Sent!

Recieved!

updates?

mine is really coming together - was about to bump this thread just now anyway!

'lectricsound just needs to up ours.

Not going to get mine in in time for the deadline, if other ppl are still going then good, but if only wanting for me then forget it.

am in the position of basically having finished, but needing to record some drums + the loudest vocal line in the whole piece - it is 3.30 am and family is asleep - asking for trouble - postponed until the morrow ^_^

uploading track now. just over 11 minutes' worth of FLAC file.

Can you scratch me off the list pls... I've had some personal issues get in the way and havent finished mine either.

Okay Trayce, no worries.
I will update the list when I get a chance later today.

you should have a linky now

yay mine isn't gonna be the longest one! *sigh of relief*

looking forward to all of these. sorry to hear about yr struggles trayce...maybe one day the track might bubble to the surface?

Real Life kinda got in the way for a bit. Will be done by end of week.

just sent u mine, dogg

terminus est

Thanks to everyone for the submissions, am totally snowed under at the minute, will do a proper update over the Easter weekend.

Started work on the cover art too, so I will post the tracklist up when I get everyone's submissions, just to make sure we are all happy with the names etc:

Christ knows how I'm going to sequence it tho' :)

Give us slightly less than a week for some straightup coldwave jamz.

first track sent

yo

whassup

Not able to access my PM email till tomorrow, then I'll update properly and we can see where everything stands.

sounds good!

Leaked!

When we are ready, I'll create an FTP partition and put the details here, maybe some kind mod could also post them at the top of this thread when the time comes. There will be two folders, one higher quality and one at MP3 quality, both including the artwork. When we have all the submissions in I'll post the text first, just to make sure I have the participants names/bandnames straight.

Have to say, I feel rather spoiled! (in a good way obv)

dogg might i recommend http://soundcloud.com/ or similar services

I can add it to fairtilizer.com

13 received tracks... great response!

I said I'd do this and then flaked -- I totally apologize! Excited to hear what people got together.

^^^forgiven eternally for 'it's too late tonight to forget to breathe'

X-Post: Well I should be able to make a little window in our site that doesn't require an FTP program to connect, just a pasword. If that's not the case it'll be Soundcloud or similar.

I can also say with some degree of impunity that LJ might be insane, his cover sounds like Peter Hammill and Mayo Thompson bashing each other with over amplified bass guitars.

Are you sure that's not a vacuum cleaner?

no vacuum-cleaner in this one - i figured the albatross had to be dispensed with. toothdrumming, bicycle-pump and kitchen-tray percussion otoh

That was your teeth?

5:37-5:59, yes
