let's release the U2 album before U2 releases the U2 album

spoken by ned?

Nedge

Hello.

Just tell me who to send it to.

you could just link it here, i hadn't really thought about hosting this online or anything like that, but if you don't have somewhere to upload it to you can email it to me at naamme at gmail dot com and i'll find some way to make it accessible

V. good. I might just do YSI or something.

And should we release all the tracks at the same time with a dead line etc or just send them as they're ready ? (I guess the former would be more fun)

Maybe we need to think of a name for this album?

"No U2 on the Horizon"?
"ILX on the Horizon"?
"Suggest Ban on the Horizon"?

I'll do "No Line on the Horizon"

i'll do "Moment of Surrender"

can i collaborate with gear

or "omar"

will have to get singer of my band to sing, but i will make the music

^^cedars of lebanon then?? that means all traxx have been spoken for right?

also i vote for all the racks at the same time w/ a deadline

01 No Line on the Horizon - Curt1s
02 Magnificent - m bison
03 Moment of Surrender - gr8080
04 Unknown Caller - 6335
05 I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight - AleXTC
06 Get on Your Boots - snoball
07 Stand Up Comedy - n/a
08 Fez - Being Born- TOMBOT
09 White as Snow - Elvis Telecom
10 Breathe - nabisco
11 Cedars of Lebanon - roxy/omar

this is gonna pwn so bad

hey wait! I had seriously volunteered to do "Cedars of Lebanon." :-(

Know a gr8080 for a decade and then get thrown over I SEE HOW IT IS.

However, to spur the rest of you into full action:

My source of inspiration was of course Shatner. Perhaps this can serve as the bonus first track with Roxy's version as the bookend.

the more versions the merrier imo

well done btw ned~!

Too kind of yer!

oh shit i can't wait to hear this

Deadline please, so I know I'll get it done.

i had suggested the release date of the actual u2 album, which is march 3 - is that too far away?

I'm doing RPM this February, so I'm looking to get this track wrapped up by the end of January. I wonder if any other people on this thread are in the same situation? But of course I can hold on until the beginning of March before I post a download link.

yeah mine's done

can we just email them to n/a and then he can post when he has all of them?

ahah, great spoken words Ned !
Maybe someone could make an instrumental track to play in the back as a closing/bonus track ?
I have also finished my track.
So the idea is to send them to n/a then ?
concerning the title, "No ILX on the horizon" sounds good to me.
Should we keep the same cover as u2's or "Ilx" it ?
March 3 seems so far... (who will start the "No line on the horizon Vs No Ilx on the horizon" thread ?)

I think we definitely need an "ILX"ed version of the cover. Anyone here with the necessary skills?

By which I mean, I know there are people on ILX with the skills, can someone please some forward?

Yeah, we know there are great visual artists here...
Album covers redrawn from memory in MS Paint

let's make this project an "Ilx art total extravaganza" !

lol excellent - although the U2 cover is so bland I can't even remember what it looks like!

Also, I've just noticed, March 3rd is the release date in North America. It's released on March 2nd in Europe and Feb 27th in Ireland, so maybe we should bring our official release date forward?

haw i guess i can collect the tunes; again my email address is naamme at gmail dot com. if your actual name is significantly different from your ILX name, please include your ILX name in the email so i know who i've gotten tunes from so far

i think the cover should remain the same, just with a "/=" instead of an "="

release it asap cuz you know this record's gonna leak pretty soon and you got to beat that shit to market.

it'd be awesome if this got seeded to the p2p and torrent sites as the actual u2 album

well, if any of you ever wondered what the hell a fez has to do with being born, nick's got the sonic logic in his inbox

^^STOKED 4 THE MADNESS

tom i didn't get it, don't see it in spam either ... did you use naamme at gmail? i got snoball's tune though, good stuff.

i think i will whip this up dis weequend i think it will be mad-dash 1-minute song

this is an excellent exercise; if by chance a bit of motivation hits, i hope to have something to link up- Ned, that was grander than grand...

Thanks!

right, so they are all taken?

Hmmm...

What happens if you run Ned's vocals upthread through MS Songsmith? It's be funny if the result sounded exactly like U2...

Ned's spoken words definitely have to be the closing of the album with some background music or something (eheh, I've just imagined it with a funky synth track a la "thriller"'s vincent price's rap !)

mark you can have the one i signed up for, or you and ned can fight for it, i don't think im gnona have time :(

can we get the ilx pitchforkers to build some internet frenzy over this?
