ILX pre-covers Animal Collective's "Centipede Hz"

WCC - I use Reason v4.0 (no Record sadly) & I can also work with .wav/.mp3 files. my ILXmail goes to a defunct address so if you want to contact me via email my addy is curtis.stephens (AT) gmail (DOT) com, but feel free to just ignore & do your own thing if that is what you would prefer.

After slapping a "pop" compression all over it, I decided the mix was fine but after listening to The Orb and Adrian Sherwood all afternoon I've decided to rip all of the 303 out and replace it with booming dub bass. Stop me before I ruin everything!

Seems like there might actually be enough interest to warrant the third volume.

― Hellhamster 2: Hamster Smashed Face (J3ff T.), Monday, 21 May 2012 21:59 (1 year ago) Permalink

Third volume should be done totally in the style of Warrant imo.

Hahah.

If there's definitely enough interest I'll throw it open...

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 May 2012 22:07 (1 year ago) Permalink

3rd volume should be approx covers of the real versions on youtube from recent performances

But via kazoo and whistle.

Do we have times to go w/ track listing ala Lulu?

― a hoy hoy, Monday, 21 May 2012 22:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

Nah. Create epics, go minimal, whatever.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 May 2012 22:51 (1 year ago) Permalink

Anyway, no rush but just a reminder that there's about a month and a week or so to go on this one. If you're all not busy figuring our your Beatles covers already. ;-)

Does anybody want to take on "Father Time" on CD1?

― Mark G, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 14:36 (11 months ago) Permalink

I have actually finished mine!

But then I decided to rip out the boring bass and replace it, and that was even worse, so I'm trying to get the original bass sound back.

v v tempted to just send it to Crut but I'm scared he'd muck about with the timbre too much ;-)

― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 18:50 (11 months ago) Permalink

i have had to put my laptop in for repair, so i don't think i'll get thi s done. anyone want monkey riches? i was just gonna splice up 'i wanna belike you' from the jungle book in a person pitch style

As I say, people:

I'm coming up with nothing I'm satisfied with for "Father Time" at the moment.

How long have we got now?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 08:14 (11 months ago) Permalink

A month?

OK, I'll give it another go..

― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 08:16 (11 months ago) Permalink

i'll gladly step up and take one if somebody can't do it and there's no one else in line.

had no idea about this thread or that there was a new animal collective album tbh

― charlie h, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 08:19 (11 months ago) Permalink

what's the cut-off date guys? and where do i send (sorry if this info is plastered very prominently anywhere else).

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 08:26 (11 months ago) Permalink

Tell you what, I'll concentrate on the Beatles thing, if Charlie H wants a go.

OK?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 09:26 (11 months ago) Permalink

fine with me Mark, but as you say there's still a month to work with and it's a first in, first served kinda deal, so ball is totally in your court.

― charlie h, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 09:35 (11 months ago) Permalink

It's yours.

cheers.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 09:43 (11 months ago) Permalink

thanks man. i'll try and do your spot proud :)

― charlie h, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 09:44 (11 months ago) Permalink

I'll probably sample this in mine.

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 00:28 (11 months ago) Permalink

Hi, Stevie D and boyfriend have to pull out of this thing; we are not collaborating as well as we thought and I'd do it myself but I am without computer at the moment. Do you wanna bump whoever was "Rosie Oh" on compilation 2 into our slot on #1 or something? I don't know.

We're sorry :(

― Delbert Botts, D.D.S. (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:44 (11 months ago) Permalink

No worries -- I'll run through and do an update here later today as I can. Busy week! Reminder to all that you still have a month plus to finish your tracks!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 16:04 (11 months ago) Permalink

I'M FINALLY FINISHED!!!!

I have tamed the bass transients. I shall email it over imminently.

I've scrapped the recording I've done (mixed, mastered, everything), and will re-record tomorrow...

― George Peppard Steak (snoball), Saturday, 16 June 2012 17:54 (11 months ago) Permalink

Just a quick note that the deadline's in a few weeks here!

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 12:44 (10 months ago) Permalink

Is this a good idea if you've never *actually* heard Animal Collective other than a snippet on a review show that you didn't really like?

Not that I actually have any time for this, mind you...

― Matt M., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 14:37 (10 months ago) Permalink

It's a fantastic idea.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 14:37 (10 months ago) Permalink

What's...still available then?

I can't believe I'm even thinking about Something Else To Do That Has A Deadline.

― Matt M., Tuesday, 26 June 2012 14:40 (10 months ago) Permalink

A couple of folks did indicate dropping out, will review and reupdate here soon.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 14:47 (10 months ago) Permalink

Mine's almost finished, just need to do a couple of percussion bits and some final editing/tweaking. I've got Friday off work so plan on doing the 'drumming' then to avoid annoying my housemates...

― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 15:08 (10 months ago) Permalink

What's the deadline again?

As said upthread, I can't do Monkey Riches since my laptop died (and I lost all software).

I feel awful, but I might need to back out of doing "Father Time" on the second volume. I've felt really terrible about everything I've made recently (visually, musically, work-wise, everything - it's a phase I go through every few years) and I've been unable to complete anything, or even really to get far at all. I can submit something if needed, but if someone is itching to get in they should definitely have the spot.
