finished, really dug everyone's stuff and it's kinda weirdly well sequenced for being essentially random process

The "All Around the World" ending! The needlessly long second-to-last track! All the Liam samples! What a ride, thanks folks

these are really good, you all have actual musical ability. apologies for the horrendous sound quality on mine, i left it a little late and had to record it on holiday, so my mic was at home.
really liked both matt's songs - real pathos especially in the first one, it sort of made me feel like this was a faintly sad radio documentary about an old man doing an obsolete career.

I always enjoyed how there's often a Krautrocking element to these comps, Tom D bringing a kind of La Dusseldorf thing to the table, love it.

I had a spare hour to record a final vocal and mix mine, which got cut to 22 minutes when I got called up for parental taxi duties. I had one mix where the vocal was too loud, and another where it was mmm a bit quiet but just as well.
Will make it my journey music tomorrow

I once heard a story (admittedly second-hand) about a friend of a friend who was renting some weird attic room in Hampstead overlooking the rear of Liam's house. Apparently the Gallagher lad would have a lot of parties, where he could be heard singing Oasis songs late into the night while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. Dunno if that's tragic or heroic really.

I'd bring that to any and every table if permitted. I don't think I'll be able to listen to this till later in the week, but I'm sure you've all done very well.

Ha, the clips in UMS's "For What Its Worth" do have a kind of Studs Terkel "Working" vibe

especially Matt's two bittersweet tracks (I'm pretty sure there's nothing as moving on LG's actual album !)
Listening for this time, I'm welling up a bit ;_;

That Ronan track is amazing

My mp3 player doesn't like the last two tracks, they're in the wrong format, and the Good Capitaine's track has gone AWOL on my laptop, so I haven't heard those yet. All sounding great though, you've all done very well!

there's a soundcloud :P
have been enjoying this a lot. alxtc's one has been popping up in my head at points
― imago, Thursday, 14 September 2017 12:30 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I'm at work just now, will be able to listen to the whole thing when I get home tonight.

I haven't had the time to listen to this enough so I'm not too familiar with, let's say the second half, but I really like the beginning of the album :"Walls of Glass" track has a Bowie/Berlin vibe to it with the krautrock approach and the title that go very well together ("wall", "glass", the words ring a bell !)."Paper Crown" is a good follow up as it also has a Bowie/Berlin feel (more Lodger maybe).Then Matt's two moody and melancholic tracks and Ronan's creepy cinematographic piece.

i might do a re-record with better sound at some point, now i'm not trying to do it while on holiday.

Listening to imago's track I kept thinking, what does that remind me of? Then I realized he sounds exactly like someone I used to be in a band with, even the song sound like one of his.

he sounds like a fookin legend
