Iced Honey 1 IS MUH JAM.
I'm really surprised how good each track segues into another; none of you heard each others when making it right?

Guys, I have so much work to do today, but I can't stop listening to this. Currently on the Hawaiian guitar-like segment of "Mistress Dread." This is making me happier than a new Residents record.

Tyler's was just SO FUCKING PERFECT as the first song. First time I heard these as they came in I was just fucking floored. Floored by all of them, really!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
I was hoping someone else would single out this one; I love the complete contrast between the two halves.

I could say this about a lot of these, but snoball's making me happy this thing's in stereo.

I'm sure this is causing some serious thinking in the Loutallica camp

― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
As far as I know, no -- they all just arrived as they did. Gotta say that ILX comps are pretty stellar for always having some actual variety to them.
snoball's "Frustration" is another favorite; his "Get On Your Boots" for the U2 one is an all time classic and this is not far off.

haha, my agenda was just to croon through that song in a voice that wasn't my natural one. only afterwards did i make the SW connection.
― charlie h, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
Was definitely hearing that, like something from "Tilt" maybe...
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
probably subliminal. i do love me some scott.
― charlie h, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
And did you say you did that with improvised lyrics, Charlie? That's kinda amazing!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, improvised lyrics in one take. initially i intended it as a practice run, but it ended up summing up what i set out to do.

It is incredibly hard to improvise for 11 minutes, because halfway through you realize that you're only halfway through.

I was going to do add in more vocals on my song but realized very quickly that I wasn't really going to put together 11 minutes of coherent singing on the fly, so I just sang an ooh and a catch phrase, pitch-shifted them for the second half and called it a day.
The second phrase was me going "oh shit, half of this is in D-minor and half is in C-minor, how am I getting from one to the other...? INTERLUDE"

Gypsy Chips is pretty awesome. PP is hilarious - is that the PP/SS offspring in the background?
― emil.y, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
I have to say, I think that ILM really upped their game from the U2 collection for this one.

IIRC part of the reason why we didn't go that route was because not every track arrived in AIFF/WAV format.
