I am constantly getting zappi's stuck in my head btw (it is the one that I mentioned sounded like St Etienne imo)

major props to constant light for making the only sub-30 sec track (the only sub-15 sec track too, actually!)
thanks! all 4 tracks were originally made for very short educational promo videos, and none ended up being used, those fussy bastards.

really enjoying this
I can't get track 39, crüt's "ID," to take its rightful place when I sort by album. It jumps above track 1 and I can't figure out what in the metadata is out of sync with the other 48 tracks.

crut's first song is astonishing
pixel farmer get rid of the 'album artist' text

here's the correct one. it may be 78 seconds now (oops)? we did a little more work on it.

Okay this makes more sense and I totally didn't want to be rude and be all "listen I don't hear enough of a difference between your two works!!" (thus the email I sent)

our 'proper' stuff so far is a bit less poppy than that but these are not unindicative of future directions

also I have gotta say that Captain Lorax's one is totally rad, and that rent has a lovely melodic sensibility

It's the shoehorning of cricket references into songs that gives it away.

I actually only logged back onto ILX to comment on this comp...
I've listened to it one and a half times through now and it's of pleasingly high quality throughout. Because it's such a huge chunk of music (surprising given its actual brevity) I starred tracks that stood out as particularly wonderful - so my initial favourites (and I'm sure I'll add more as I get into it):
Zappi - Snowblood, Tyler W - Denver Diatribe, Kelly - What You Do To Me, Clonefeed - Skipper, Snoball - Gas, Fügügüffü - ID, 77_2 - Capitaine Jay Vee, rent - 771, Grannykart - Minor Antarctic Island
(oops, sorry I think I've inverted artist and title in some of those but you get which tracks I mean.)
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Thursday, 9 December 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link
this thing is great, my track fails in comparison to all of these.
― Yeah, there's an ass for that. (chrisv2010), Thursday, 9 December 2010 14:13 (thirteen years ago) link
minor antarctic island sounds like the theme from "heroes"
― Yeah, there's an ass for that. (chrisv2010), Thursday, 9 December 2010 14:57 (thirteen years ago) link
What a great comp. A lot of you should be recording/releasing music if you aren't already! Really happy to have been part of this.
Here's some of my other music (much longer than the tracks on here): soundcloud.com/professorjorge

chrisv2010 : your track is excellent.

ol dirty malkmus = awesome
― tylerw, Thursday, 9 December 2010 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link
i think a fun way to listen to this for the first time might be to just put the lot in a playlist, hit shuffle and not look at what's playing unless i really like the sound of it (which could certainly happen a lot) so gonna try that tonight - no disrespect intended to stevie for thoughtful sequencing tho

karen, i loved your track! and the kelly songs are wonderful, too (i esp. liked 'books and records')

yeah i dug yours too, karen. whole thing is wonderful, kind of oddly cohesive. would anyone be averse to me posting a link on my blog? totally cool if we want to keep it an ILX-only thang.
