I made "We Sail Through Endless Skies: The Quiet Black Sabbath Album", check it.

awesome, m@tt!

thx pretzel

this is way more important than a new yorker article trust me

yes. yes it is.

thanks, i've just heard the staples and i'm not familiar with the body of their work, so this should be a nice contrast against sweet leaf and war pigs riff riff riff

Nice. Maybe you should splice in the acoustic coda from Symptom of the Universe too??

yeah unfortunately i don't have the technical know how to do that kind of stuff, there were a couple of cool bits i wanted but they were attached to big rockers.

also: "It's Alright" features a rare Bill Ward vocal

"this is way more important than a new yorker article trust me"

So OTM-as is this

"Also, I get a little sick of reading summaries of Sabbath that seem to think they were a lot more one dimensional than they a really were."

How about "Blow on a Jug"?

Also, I get a little sick of reading summaries of Sabbath that seem to think they were a lot more one dimensional than they a really were.

Terrible editing on my part. Apologies

hey bill, i wasn't familiar w/that song...i googled and I guess it was a Sabotage outtake that was on the black box?

all my sabbath is on used vinyl so I'm really only familiar with the albums themselves...i'll have to try to find that song.

but i think this tracklist flows pretty well actually the way i did it as an album on its own

Matt:

Yes, it's at the end of the "Writ" so to include it you would have to work the same magic as you would for the snippet from "Symptom of the Universe"

And I think certain original pressings of Sabotage had it on there.

(Matt, if you want to do something like that it's pretty easy to dl a free wav editor like Audacity and chop it)

See also: "Don't Start (Too Late)" which is its own track (only 49 seconds) so doesn't require any tech know how.

wow, supertzar is crazy

yeah don't start too late was almost on, but the version I DL'd it started with the last power chord of hole in the sky, which made it always sort of clash when i was messing around with tracklistings, the transition was too grating for me, so i left it off...

maybe next time i'll get some editing stuff, but i've already wasted more time on this than probably any rational person should : )

That's valid!

Superztar sounds like Sabbath recruted the choir from Hell help out. Freaky shit.

Very nice! Thanks, Matt.

i can't use rapidshare at work, but wanna hear this ;_;

This is awesome! People tripping on "Supertzar" really should check out Sabotage in its entirety, pretty gonzo as a piece.

Oh yeah! Thanks, Matt. Never heard the Technical Ecstacy stuff before.

SBS went against the Sabbath grain nicely too."Spiral Architect" is the best Who's Next song not on Who's Next.

yeah i'd never actually heard sabbath bloody sabbath or technical ecstasy (or never say die -- jeezus that's horrible) until now...lots of cool lazer light show synths on SBS that surprised me.

dude what are you talking about... 'Never Say Die' is a good album.

luke's wall?

i listen again, but it sounded like a band that needed a hot Dio injection something fierce to me.

nm

great fuckin work mang

*downloads*

"i listen again, but it sounded like a band that needed a hot Dio injection something fierce to me."

"dude what are you talking about... 'Never Say Die' is a good album."

These two things are not mutually exclusive, and both happen to be true. I love Never Say Die.

i have to admit it sounded better on second listen. but i think i like technical ecstasy more.

changes is so corny. good mix otherwise.

changes is beautiful

Well done M@tt! And if want to redo it with "Don't Start Too Late" and "Sleeping Village" (from the debut), I highly recommend this free trial version of RipEditBurn. Then, you can isolate the quiet parts, maybe throw a little flanging or reverb on top, and maybe play 'em backwards (to listen for secret backmasked messages.)

Nice!!!!

i have mimicked yr playlist and am listening - ty

m@tt = a hero

good work, signor

This comp fucking rules, man. CHEERS!!!!

Yeah, thanks for bumping this thread -- I have these all around but it's good to hear it all in Matt's mix!

And yes, if people haven't heard all of Sabotage, you need to...

i liked it! i hadn't heard a few of those later ones before. good stuff.

I just listened to this, and imagined a new band who had this as an album. And I love that band. It almost reminds me of a krautrock band or something.

I tried to do the same but it's that old purple polar bear thing. Still, it'd make for one wacky ass record. An instrumental snippet as an opener and then a piece of headin' off into battle nuttiness followed by another instrumental snippet all before the first real vocal and longest track which is something from Technical Ecstasy. Some prog-folk nightmare, for sure.

And I second the love for Sabotage, the first side of which is the solidest slab of Sab ever.

Thanx, Matt!

And WTF is that FX thing? That's post punk I daresay.

Yeah, Sabotage is a goddam prog-metal masterpiece! Praise be to Chuckles Eddy for introducing me to it via his awe-inspiring metal book.

(I still can't believe how well this mix works, Matt!!)

Great... now if only there was an episode of Yacht Rock about the making of It's Alright...

This is one of those things that bounced around my mind thinking "wouldnt it be awesome if...."

and now its been done.

restored my faith in hippie metal & teh interwebs.

thank you sir.

thx yall this was the best time i ever wasted

Praise be to Chuckles Eddy for introducing me to it via his awe-inspiring metal book.

You and a lot of other people!

Were there songs you wanted to include and didn't, Matt?

This makes for perfect grey gloomy winter morning listening.

It's great stuff. These guys were f'in geniuses and didn't even know it.

"Changes" is great -- a power ballad for werewolves.

What else is great: this mix! THANX!

Love this comp whenever it comes up in my player, no skipping that folder...

...are there any other albums like this?!?!

lol i made this playlist and never listened to it - i will listen now tho!

sabbath is up on spotify now so I made this a playlist:

Haha this is great.

woah i never noticed the Dylan reference on "Solitude"!!!

I still bump this Quiet Sabbath compilation...

Are there any threads on ILM devoted to making compilations that showcase a side of an artist that might not immediately spring to mind when one thinks of said artist?

Here's a heavier, but hopefully more blues rock Sabbath compilation I made influenced by the quiet comp.

whoops should've tested the URL...

kind of a good idea... like the Grateful Dead Disco Album or something?

Some concert-cruising with "Eyes of the World" might fit---?

"Playin' in the Band"?

Almost a decade later, this still remains one of my favorite ever things on ILM.

thanks!
honestly not to toot my own horn but i think if this existed it would be maybe the 3rd or 4th best sabbath album

have we dealt with this yet?

I still love this album.

oh man, cool!!

Def. check out the alternate versions of Planet C and Solitude.

woo! there it is!

wooooo! yeah it is pretty good. romantic.

This Sabbath rookie asks: do the post-Ozzy years have enough material to make a "Quiet Black Sabbath Album II" ?

ooh that's a good question I never considered

I’d say you could definitely make a soft rock ozzy album out of the power ballads etc in his solo career. One would definitely have to include the duet with Lita Ford.
