Great, thanks. Wouldn't want to have to switch horses mid stream!BTW is anyone keeping a list of who's doing which track?

cedars of lebanon has to be on the slower end of mid-tempo and has to reference palestine, israel, and the 1972 olympiad.

i found a rolling stone article with 'previews' of these songs, but i wouldn't want to influence anyone.
except some of them are pretty funny:
"No Line on the Horizon"The title track's relentless groove began as a group improvisation. "It's very raw and very to the point," says the Edge. "It's like rock & roll 2009."
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 January 2009 20:29 (fifteen years ago) link
"Magnificent""Only love can leave such a mark," Bono roars on what sounds like an instant U2 anthem. Will.i.am has already done what Bono calls "the most extraordinary" remix of the tune.
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 January 2009 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
"The Most Extraordinary Remix" would be a good name for a song
i listened to "get on your boots"; it actually wasn't that bad, though i don't know what i was expecting given that i haven't actively listened to a u2 album since zooropa

'unknown caller' preview, jordan ? xp
― 6335, Tuesday, 20 January 2009 20:33 (fifteen years ago) link
pretty hard to top:
"Unknown Caller"This midtempo track could have fit on All That You Can't Leave Behind. "The idea is that the narrator is in an altered state, and his phone starts talking to him," says the Edge.
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 January 2009 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link

n/a may have had some fun at my expense yesterday, but coincidentally, what's just turned out to be his No Line On The Horizon track came on my iPod Shuffle recently and I'd forgotten what it was...thought I maybe had some A+ rad Brian Eno thing, and was completely taken with it...so, dude, in the spirit of reconciliation, you made some good music
― j0rdslovesomedude (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
thanks brah
my track for the Wire comp is kind of in the same style, though I don't think I'm quite as excited about it :/
I was just joshing you yesterday
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 17:50 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah I know - and even if you weren't it was pretty damn funny - am gonna have to release a song by that name at some point
thing is when listening to it I was all 'wha...who uses the horn presets on keyboards' at first, then I was 'hang on, but this is pretty hypnotic', then I was 'hey the fact that someone has used the horn preset and then offset it with groovy syncopated bass is awesome' and finally by the synth solo I was convinced someone had hit on something really valuable
so yeah, if the Wire track manages a build-up half as epic as this it'll have been worth it tbh

hey thanks! I was pretty happy with the music; it's a little more "boring" (ie longer and fewer parts) than the songs I normally do but I feel like it's kind of a grower. I'm still not crazy about the vocals; I did the singing first and it didn't sound how I wanted it (my voice isn't low or weighty enough) so then I tried the robot vocals but it seemed kind of cheap so then I "compromised" and left both in when I probably should have just committed to one or the other.
I've probably linked this somewhere before but all the home recording stuff I do is at http://scarequotes.net.

Glastonbury had been attempting to book U2 for many years and their appearance was expected to be a highlight of the event's 40th anniversary. The band said they had written a new song for the occasion. "I'm heartbroken," he said. "We really wanted to be there to do something really special."
