"Why worship death? Because DEATH RUUUUUULES!!!"

The Evil Purpose sounds like an 80s Dio song title, could definitely go with a NWOBHM style there

I call why worship death

If someone wants to make an instrument track but doesn't want to sing we would be an ideal combo. But I can cobble together a song easily enough in a worst-case scenario.

edward iii - why worship death
polyphonic - ?
grannykart (me) - laugh a little

i feel like LJ needs to tackle L’ENVOI, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

I would be thrilled to sing "evil purpose", but i'm not picky.

The album is on p1rate bay fwiw

ppl lacking real audio can also check out the tracks here

http://vimeo.com/5544877

What's the plan here? Are we going with Wire comp style covers or U2 comp style "write an unrelated song with the same title"?

I am definitely doing a cover.

What's the plan here? Are we going with Wire comp style covers or U2 comp style "write an unrelated song with the same title"?

a combo platter of both! the titles really lend themselves to interpretation.

how about sunday, march 13 for a soft deadline, and sunday, march 27 as "last call"?

OK I call 'Make It Go Right'.
Two stage deadline is a good idea, 13/27 March is fine by me.

EIII I expect greatness f5r4om "Why Worship Death?". I better convert like immediately after hearing this song.

Hmm this is tempting.

Can I tentatively snag "the evil purpose"?

I have Reznorian visions.

Oh boy, I call 'The Worried Being'

i'll take The Good Go Free. I haven't listened to it yet so I don't know if I'm doing a cover or a reconceptualization.

Yeah if i do this Im not covering it, im just gonna do my own take a la the 'no line' comp.

the o.g. "laugh a little" comes from some alternate universe where coil produced the lion king soundtrack.

http://vimeo.com/5545042

awugh! That is so creepy!

oh my god i'm actually listening to "the good go free" now ... oh my god

Im too scared to listen to these in case thetans invade my brain.

it sounds like a kenny loggins song, if kenny loggins were lobotomized

I cant decide if thats truly frightening or the best thing ever.

anyone wanna duet with me?

shit is terrifying

I would like THE ARC SONG. But it won't be 20 minutes long. Probably.

Some hilarious stories here about the original (and other) albums.

Staff were ordered to sing "Make it Go Right" after every weekly staff meeting, which became very robotic and another thing to "endure". Probably still happening.

anyone wanna duet with me?

If you do all the work I'll add my backing vox to it.

oh god thank you for that

xp

I would be really happy to play guitar and/or drums for any ilxor in the NYC area on this effort, but I don't have a recording setup so I can't send tracks.

so is someone actually collecting these? and there are still a few unclaimed tracks, right?

I'd be happy to curate, but we kinda need a little more interest to get all the tracks claimed first I guess.

how many are left?

i think i'm almost done with "the good go free." it's more of an interpolation/remix than a cover.

We're not meant to do covers, right? Cos I'm totally not wanting to do a cover.

my idea was that if you want to do a cover, great, if you just want to "interpret" based on the title, also great.

i started the thread and was set to be the compiler, but if maresnest wants to do it i'm happy to hand over the reins.

no one has taken "the way to happiness" yet? I can do dat

Appropriately, the rhythms employ Ron’s signature surge and his carefully composed melodies fully integrate with a message that effectively sums up both this album and his life:

"To you there is no limit, knowledge is your key

Take the route of auditing and once again be free."

btw can anyone tell what they are saying in the chorus of the song I just took ("The Way to Happiness")

(the thing that is actually supposed to BE "the way to happiness"
it sounds kinda like "soul truth"??)

thinking of just changing it to "soul music"

Are there still titles free to do? If so, put me down for one.

you can also do something from these hubbard-related records:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Earth_%28album%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Jazz

"Terl, The Security Director" has gotta be good.

Ok, I thought the idea was to that people did all the titles of one of his releases. But if there's another open slot I'll gladly take it.

to

okay, "the spacer's lot" has got to be amazing

songs/titles to choose from:

"The Way to Happiness"

aw thx mang

I sorted out my official.fm issues and the thing is now available for streaming and downloading and posting to yr twitters and yr facebooks and whatnots

http://official.fm/playlists/60920

This is indeed all pretty great!

need to know if I convinced abbott to convert

i don't think blackout/matt #2 has been mentioned yet as one of the standouts, so I'M DOING IT NOW. hrmph.

my favorite track tbh

that is some evil scientist jammin

this thread died too young.

Yeah, this needs way more love. Come on, people.

I like it a lot! It was the first thing I dl'ed when our power came back on. I'm going to give it a couple more listens before I list favorites.

I think it's great the way that we've all landed on this weirdness/drones/acoustic/synth noises vibe.

<3 <3 <3 the drones, the wobbly oscillations, the guitar distortion, the fake-out "earnest" acoustic ballads that are really funny

as always, would like to see more women involved next time. rah to ms. tregaskin for stepping up.

kate always brings a quality game 2 these comps

she def did the best production job

Damn! Absolutely typical that this came out when I was in Cornwall with minimal interweb. (no internet receipt down tinmines.) Downloading now, and can't wait to hear it! Sounds like it's a barrel of weird. In the best possible way.

It really truly is.

i'm gonna play the second half this morning to further appreciate the dronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnesssssss

but first: the marvelous "way to happiness"!

Only getting around to listening to this now. Marvellous outro on Ken C's track!

Everything is great, esp. the Tregaskin/Grannykvlt twofer. But WOW the Way to Happiness!

still wish somebody would poll the various ways to happiness

any guesses on the "laugh a little pt. 2" samples? emil.y got one with the rollins band's "liar."

Kraftwerk!

xpost

Either Kraftwerk or sex crime, anyway.

Here is the finalised artwork guys.

Bumpin' this beautiful barrel of weird!

The opener is hauntologically unsettling. I love The Gospel of Ken C (the organ wins it, mahn!). Karen D's 'Mining Song' made me think of Dirty Projectors (hope that's no insult to you, I for one love it). Snoball's is so much fun to listen to (*toot toot*), Edward III's <3 <3 <3 lovely Miami-vibe, love the piano too. Bernard Snowy's naked and ace rendition would make me a believer, Get Bent & Crüt's darkness is great, as is Mark G's slow jam. I love it all, basically.

This has just turned out a fantastic record, y'all!

Edward III's <3 <3 <3 lovely Miami-vibe, love the piano too.

i think the sample is from this earlier version though:

it has the creepiest pedo music vid ever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAx8-BGHYrU

lol @ benny rolling his eyes at dude who won't let him near his 16 yo daughter

no pedobear no pedobility

i didn't know there was an actual video! this has brightened/ruined my day! is he wearing pink socks?

Oh wow, didn't know it was a sample! Very nice!

I sampled/cut up a smash number one hit from 1999 for my strings at the middle/end of the song. Lifelong kudos if you guess which song!

sorry if I ruined "into the night" for anybody lol

well-known staple of lite FM radio in the US

so guess who leered at me from the endcap when I walked into the record store today? had to buy...

never run never hide, except if they catch you with a 16 yo

he was 33 when he recorded "into the night." twice her age!
