I only remember this because Jordan S pointed it out way back then, but our tracks on ILX Comp Volume 2 were switched around/mislabeled (his is 5:14 long, mine is 4:25).

I thought I recognised the lil' pic there.
It's funny, once in a while I put my name (or people I know) in certain websites (you know, you have as well). I wondered if someone with the same name as me had nicked in ahead and taken the "no-number" version.
For a second, I thought someone had. Then I clicked on the link, and found it was me!
Thanks! (rlly)

This is just reminding me of my sporadic IA about the fact that my discogs page is incomplete and I can't edit it. Bah. (But on the topic at hand, good work Ned.)

I never saw the cover for the ILX Next Day comp and EL - OH - EL, for reals.
― pplains, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 14:12 (seven years ago) link
So without joining some illegal piracy ring how do I get zips of all these sent to me so I can teach my kid what REAL MUSIC is?
Oh right I have Ned's email

nice work ! ILX has quite a back catalogue now !I had totally forgotten some of my contributions.Also, time flies...
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:08 (seven years ago) link
wow
I kind of wish we had a Bandcamp page for all of this, not necessarily to sell but to give a streaming location

yes and so i could delete the syro covers off of my soundcloud

i forgot that the lulu precovers comp had the added challenge that we also had to match the track times of the actual album, brilliant
or spotify (but I suppose they only have things that are on a label) !
yeah, I think that was the funniest to do due to that constraint (and the crazy length of most of the original tracks) !
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:21 (seven years ago) link
The Lulu project is easily my favorite of them all, not that there weren't other great ones. But that was a perfect moment and a half.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:21 (seven years ago) link
haha yeah; this is why my contribution to that is effectively two separate songs welded together that is a strong ripoff in build and structure of "Insomnia" by Faithless
― (The caption: “fine dining.”) (DJP), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:23 (seven years ago) link
I did my Bowie one to that constraint, even though I know most people didn't.
My faves are Lulu and the Sciento_Ogy one. A classic year for ilx comps.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
For overall quality, I still think Vol3 "has a bucket" is a good starting place, but Lulu is .
― Mark G, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:46 (seven years ago) link
Oh lol, I totally forgot about ENGLANDE.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 17:52 (seven years ago) link
There should be an (online) ILX festival with all these : ILXapalooza !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 10:41 (seven years ago) link
There was one, it was linked to Vol 3.
― Mark G, Thursday, 26 January 2017 19:25 (seven years ago) link
And now, I can locate them on my Discogs Collection!

This one?
How good is A.I. at creating chart hits? Trained a neural network (in Torch) on the history of the UK charts and let it come up with its own Top 40. Good to see a mix of genres. #aitop40 pic.twitter.com/hJLdWmbssz— Bob De Caux (@BobDeCaux) March 5, 2020

yes. could make artwork as well as tracks?

I’m in.

also in

but not the ai shit, just a playlist of our songs
― majority whip, majority nae nae (m bison), Sunday, 15 March 2020 18:53 (four years ago) link
i think the idea was that we would make our own songs but our artist/song names had to be from that list
either that or pandemic-themed
idk
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Sunday, 15 March 2020 19:15 (four years ago) link
i am favouring a pandemic theme myself but you are all free to argue the toss
'bat love' would be on both themes tbf
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Sunday, 15 March 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link
I am in, with whatever conceit you guys decide to go with.
― Maresn3st, Sunday, 15 March 2020 19:44 (four years ago) link
pandemic theme 4 sure

Songs of our own devising or cover tunes with apt titles?
― Maresn3st, Sunday, 15 March 2020 19:50 (four years ago) link
songs of our own imo
― majority whip, majority nae nae (m bison), Sunday, 15 March 2020 19:52 (four years ago) link
in whatever, but would be better were there an overarching concept to at least name the tracks
― Wuhan!! Got You All in Check (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 15 March 2020 20:06 (four years ago) link
that concept, is COVID
― strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Sunday, 15 March 2020 20:08 (four years ago) link
I'm in, although the COVID theme may be a little tenuous as it'll probably be instrumental.

I'm in for a song, whatever the concept (but maybe it would be more timely to make a specific virus/epidemic related comp ?).Gotta find something to do since I'm stuck at home for at least 2 weeks !

i had thought the new magnetic fields album would be a good contender for a pre-covers compilation, aside from having to get 28 people to sign up:

Is there a theme for this, or can it be whatever we want? Because I already wrote lyrics for 'For The Sour' from the AI Top 40.
