ILX Compilation v4: Tiny Music (Deadline/Submissions/etc!!)

ok yeah that was it, thx lj

love that arp odyssey sound on jay vee's track!

yes, jay vee likes YMO, he's of good provenance :P

maresnest track made me hit replay in a combination of surprise and utter bliss

<3 <3 <3 "galaxy... of terror" too

love that arp odyssey sound on jay vee's track!

^^

oh shoot! This is LIVE? Gonna d/l now. Thx for kind words, btw! Glad people like these : )

Surm/Lou's tracks are like Mariah Carey meets Cocteau Twins

one problem: "ipswich" is repeated where "minor antarctic island" is supposed to be. if i didn't send the right file, i apologize!

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

lol @ get bent's song being on here twice under diff titles XPOST

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)

pfeh, sorry for bollocksing it up

oh shush, it is no thing! I am abt to upload another .zip as we speak (with proper tags and art and everything this time as well)

want to hear more Constant Light

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

HERE IS A NEW AND FRESHLY FIXED ZIP FILE WITH PROPER TAGS, EMBEDDED ARTWORK, AND GRANNYKART SONG; DOWNLOAD THIS INSTEAD UNTIL A MOD FIXES THE LINK ABOVE

YAY! i can't wait to listen

this answers my qn i had about the mysterious KELLY tracks that lou posted on FB, btw

Didn't want to nitpick but if you're fixing mistakes Track 16 = merchandising

Yes that's how it's spelled in both filename and tag...?

just on the sleeve :)

<3 lou & surm tracks, want to hear more

Holy shit E3!! Ox!

Fuck it, I missed this entire thread :(

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

ZS Awesome!

wait-a-minute... LJ is secretly Vivian Stanshall?

you mean you DON'T fancy a wine-and-middle-aged-spread do at the Great House?

Ha, you just made his day,.

xpost told yer. Or rather, I didn't...

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

Just downloaded! EXCITED.

I'm listening to this right now and it's really good!

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.)

this thing is great, my track fails in comparison to all of these.

minor antarctic island sounds like the theme from "heroes"

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.

huzzah! just started listening to this -- sounds amazing so far. thanks to everyone who contributed and stevie for organizing. great cover art too ...

Thanks!

ol dirty malkmus = awesome

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')

Karen, you did a wonderful job. Your Reason skills are pretty advanced imo

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.

Gosh - mine are quiet. Should've mixed them louder. ah well...

Same here - my 1st and 3rd tracks could do with being a bit louder as well.

Wish I still worked at the sportstalk station. Some of these would make for great bumpers/liners.

I think I suffer from that pretty badly as well, especially coming 13 seconds after EdIII's marvellous blast of raucousness (xp)

but hey it's not a prob, listen to the whole thing damn loud imo

ken c's is one of the real underrated growers here i think

ha, that's actually what my contribution began as -- a potential bumper thing for a podcast. rejected! glad it's found a (better) home. xpost

I've got "Denver Diatribe" on my list of favorites here, so I guess it hit its mark!
