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

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?

eheh, ilx global domination !

havin' this weird vision of fez - being born chorus w/ chuck D voice saying 'fezzzzzzz' like he says 'BASSSSS' on 'bring the noise' and then 'bein born, bein born' sung 'stayin alive' style

sorry don't let me cloud your vision with my visions

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 :(

No worries, me neither.

just saw this thread and thought I was too late to the party... but maybe not?

I will do cedars of lebanon if roxy is dropping out

don't want to leave omar hanging out there

just know that I will be singing the line "SINGLE STRING GUITAR SOLO" and there will be no guitars

oh i got AleXTC's song the other day. so now i have his, tom's, and snoball's, i think. the music for mine has been done for a couple of weeks but i haven't figured out the lyrics

so far there's a surprising aural cohesion across the songs, the whole album has kind of a creepy synthpop thing going on

the whole album has kind of a creepy synthpop thing going on

ahah, can't wait for the release (or leaks) !
so, shouldn't we start to build the hype ? (actually, I have a friend who might be able to pass the album to... u2 !)

o wait ned did cedars of lebanon? help me I'm confused at the internets

yup, he did a brilliant spoken words take on it (we're still looking for someone to do the background music though).

n/a did you let the poem2song crew know about this??? great idea, btw

I can take a crack at background music if ned is into it

that yousendit link is expired though so I need a reup

ah, I don't have it at the office. If no one can send it to you in the meantime, I'll try to do it once I'm at home.

Go for it -- here's a new upload link:

this is like my *~~dream~~*, i feel like desmond child

hotly anticipating this

Worked on it some over the weekend and expect to finish this week. Somewhat annoyingly, I think I've written a song about U2.

got it, ned, thanks

hey have you guys ever heard of this band called negativland? nah, didn't think so...
