I agonized over those seconds, so that's good news

I think I just fixed it. I don't know it made downloads allowable for every track but yours.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
maybe it contained a U2 sample? :-p
― willem, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 14:26 (nine years ago) link
Thanks for doing this BTW NA.

I guess you can't download the whole album in one go.

Chinavision's track actually sounds like it could be a real aphex tune
― monoprix à dimanche (dog latin), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 17:06 (nine years ago) link
wow, this came out early this morning! i'm gonna listen to it a little bit later today (in reverse order because i always feel bad for the people with tracks near the end, which always get fewer listens than the tracks near the beginning)
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 17:10 (nine years ago) link
sheesh, so much good stuff on this!
for real, and dog latin's too
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 18:25 (nine years ago) link
These are great. Loved the dog latin and chinavision track the most. I need to get my shit together and participate in the next precover project.
― Moka, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 19:09 (nine years ago) link
get ilx a record contract imo
― een, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
This is fantastic! Thanks NA!
I enjoyed everything, but syro u473t8+e [imago mix] and s950tx16wasr10 [sarahel mix] were my favorites. I appreciate XMAS_EVET10 [scare quotes mix]’s Artificial Intelligence vibe.

Ha I don't know what that is.

Wow! Funny.

IIRC, it was the first popular mixtape or compilation that featured predominantly (pre-breakbeat) IDM. In fact, it’s where the term “IDM” came from. It’s awesome. Eno ambience, Detroit spookiness, and motorik.
― Allen (etaeoe), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link
Oh ok cool.
Yeah the hardcore break might be my favorite moment on here. ZS's track is amazing.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link
listening to this properly now. I'm trying to work out what Mark's strange atmospheric intro is made.

Not that I'm hanging here desperately for comments, but
― Mark G, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:54 (nine years ago) link
.. Anyways, I will tell all, after I've heard the whole thing. Which will be tomorrow morning.
I usually make a nice CD with a sleeve from the art. But, hmm its a scary pic.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link
this reminds me that, to my amazement I have never heard the AI comps... I will rectify this.
― monoprix à dimanche (dog latin), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
oh hey now I'm listening to this on real speakers and it sounds nice... on dog latin's track atm and it is gooooood
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link
CIRCLONT14 is really something
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 23:30 (nine years ago) link
Be very very thankful I didn't go with the alternate idea of slicing up Ned's face and jamming the bits together ala the actual Syro, because it wasn't scary, it was TERRIFYING.

And now the truth can be told regarding track one:
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that the bath tap was leaking all the time, but this particular night it was producing a rhythm not unlike "Run run run" by the Velvet Underground. So I got out of the bath, and looked for something that would record the sound, but all I could bank on was my camera/video setting. By the time I found the camera, the tap drip had shifted and the sound wasn't as appealing.
Anyway, a couple of days later, it was dripping a beat that was just as good. So, I set up the camera and recorded 5 mins worth, by now thinking that I could use it for this project. I then uploaded it to youtube and then downloaded the audio via one of those nice online grabber sites. Then I loaded it onto my multitrack recorder program on the laptop, and set about making some handy noise effects..
The result was what you hear. I was tempted to add some more or 'develop' some different sections, but I did think on listening to it that it would work as an 'intro' to the more considered work of the other contributors (I assumed, and indeed..). I only own one Aphex 12" single, and it had quite a nice track, a couple of more brutal things, and a daftie sped-up section which was behind a protecting lock-groove. So, it seemed to be not too far away from the concept.
After Dog Latin's post, I did think a little more about it. and one thing struck me, eventually. See, I was thinking about the drip, and the resonating effects that were mostly triggered by the 'ambient noise' (a car in the distance, my foot on the floorboard shifting, me checking the recording running time), and thought about "if you were lying in the bath on acid, would this be what it was like?", well maybe. But you couldn't call the track "Acid Bath" because that would mean something Crippen-ish. So, as the noises were triggered, sort of, by the noises around, it really is an Analogue Bubblebath.
And, like I say, it only occured to me yesterday night.
Anyhow, here is the acapella:

haha, that's so great, a veritable analogue bubblebath.
― monoprix à dimanche (dog latin), Thursday, 18 September 2014 13:04 (nine years ago) link
The other thing I have noticed is that the 'play' count is huge on my track.
Clearly, people are clicking on the track, going "Nah, that's not Aphex" and going away.
Sorry about that.
― Mark G, Thursday, 18 September 2014 13:12 (nine years ago) link
I have heard the whole thing now, twice just about.
It hangs together really well as a set of tracks, I'd say.Some might fool a man on a galloping horse, but whatever it is, it is definitely it.
― Mark G, Thursday, 18 September 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link
mine was directly modeled on this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfjL9uX2leg
― chinavision!, Friday, 19 September 2014 00:46 (nine years ago) link
mine was the result of mentally improvising over one of my phone's alarm tones a couple of years ago and getting the improvisation stuck in my head
― imago, Friday, 19 September 2014 00:53 (nine years ago) link
I made mine in Reason. IT was a lot of fun to make because for once I wasn't agonising over making 'mistakes', I was just throwing in whatever I could and seeing what stuck. I deliberately cranked up the compression on pretty much everything - especially the drums- which goes against pretty much all my principles, but whatevs, I had to work quickly. Got a chance to experiment with fx modules and muck about with those. The acoustic sounds you can hear are taken from an improvised recording session in my room - our drummer tapped a beat out on my desk while the bassist started making these inhuman bizarre squealing and grunting noises which sounded great through headphones with mounds of echo feeding back, but utterly ridiculous to the onlooker.

Thanks, sarahel, for coming through at the last minute. Sorry to have to drop out. Hoping life returns to normal soon and I can sit down and listen to this thing.
― cwkiii, Friday, 19 September 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link
Seems to have had a brief burst of interest then gone away..

Better than the real thing? Maybe

Still not heard the real thing.
(wistfully) wonder if RDJ's heard this one?
