ILX Pre-Covers LULU I and II -- When The Realms of Loutallica's Reality Were Breached

I'm really surprised how good each track segues into another; none of you heard each others when making it right?

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.

do you guys think this will be how the irl lou reed and metallica react to their lulu

"Wow, Kirk. I didn't know you actually knew how to play the guitar."

lol at tyler's brandenburg gate, nicely done

Sean's "Junior Dad" on Soundcloud looks like a fucking missile about to blow up my cubicle.

YOU NEVER HAD A LITTLE DOG

I won't be able to hear this until late tonight but I'm mad stoked. Sounds so awesome.

i was having a kind o shitty day until i heard this. and i still have more than an albums worth to go.

ty ilx for making me :D

Charlie H or Scottie W?

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.

Was definitely hearing that, like something from "Tilt" maybe...

probably subliminal. i do love me some scott.

And did you say you did that with improvised lyrics, Charlie? That's kinda amazing!

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.

iced honey to-do list

1) Create new planetary system - Check

turned out amazing!

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

damn "frustration" is a great Neu! song!

who did the 2nd song on first comp?

Jack Battery-Pack

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"

listening to dragon now! great...this does flow pretty well from song to song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~woah junior dad I guitar freak out~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just started on this - tyler, you're a genius.

im really kinda glad that y'all held back on guitar freakouts until the end to make it seem even more fucking insane, you know

i'm looking forward to listening to this while i am bored at work in a few hours!

vol 1 is the first whole album I've sat down and listened to all the way through in a long ass time

dying at J3ff's Dragon lyrics... baby baby dragon dragon maybe reality is a dragon

holy crap, Charlie H's "Iced Honey." That was AMAZING.

Listening to this album reminds me of hanging out in the ILX outloud.FM room.

i honestly like every song so far as irl music

one thing this really hammers home though...i mean...the real album is going to be so...fucking...endless...it's gonna be a test of wills omg

Gypsy Chips is pretty awesome. PP is hilarious - is that the PP/SS offspring in the background?

I have to say, I think that ILM really upped their game from the U2 collection for this one.

What the hell is happening in this Mistress Dread? Slide guitar and hammering.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~woah junior dad I guitar freak out~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually it's violin if you mean the solo, kind of a VU / Cale nod plus I needed to fill out the time quite frankly.
Will listen to all these over the weekend when I'm at work and near the computer with proper speakers, can't wait!

g8080 plz release my view as "behind the scenes studio version" or something

matt yours was incredible btw

xp - which one - mine or crut's?

i guess it was violin! either way kudos man, you are a genius.

aaaaaaaaaaaand the colored girls go

PUMP PUMP PUMP PUMP

after hearing vol 1. I am wondering why I haven't heard of any of a lot of you as musicians w/ albums or something, I mean I understand why, but c'mon

Yours, sarahel. It is an astounding mindfuck. I love it.

is that the PP/SS offspring in the background?

Sunny and Beeps were out of town last week, and the boy came wandering in while I was doing the vocals. He and Lou got along, but Jamez kinda scared him.

You can also hear him setting off the cordless phone's intercom pager in the other room during the verses.

xp - the hammering must be the efx on the drums.

just yrs alot sarahe1

virgin killer is really zoning me out

LITTLE DOG!

Having our "Little Dog" taken down from Youtube due to a copyright infringement is the highlight of my musical career

I might give this project an anniversary spin then !

It was still such a treat to put this all together and just thinking about how well it would land while everyone was going crazy waiting for the final tracks to arrive.

So is there any chance of putting this up on the ILX bandcamp page?

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

I am so proud to have been part of this project
