ilx comp v. five - this is not the music of l. ron hubbard, music maker (available to download)

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.

L’ENVOI, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

Ok, if it doesn't necessarily have to be one from the original album, I'll choose "Alien Visitors Attack". Otherwise I'll take whatever is up for grabs.

Okay, so judging by what's upthread this is the shape of it so far, any corrections plz holler.

Edward III - Why Worship Death
Polyphonic - Evil Purpose
Grannykart - Laugh a Little
Snoball - Make It Go Right
MaresNest - The Worried Being
Gott Punch - The Arc Song
n/a - The Good Go Free
Bernard Snowy - The Way To Happiness
Le Bateau Ivre - ?

Fwiw I may change mine, the temptation to do 'The Drone' is pretty great.

Thanks MaresNest, I'll The Road to Freedom!

I'll take

Gotcha.

Edward III - Why Worship Death
Polyphonic - Evil Purpose
Grannykart - Laugh a Little
Snoball - Make It Go Right
MaresNest - The Worried Being
Gott Punch - The Arc Song
n/a - The Good Go Free
Bernard Snowy - The Way To Happiness
Le Bateau Ivre - The Road To Freedom

Do we upload the songs somewhere, or e-mail them?

Hang on, poly said they'd do evil purpose if someone'd write the music for them. I didnt see that and I nabbed it too.

I guess I can do something else.

Yes plz Trayce join in on the Scientological-Hauntological-Philantropological fun too! :-)

You can send them to me and I'll store them all and get some art done etc:

Only £500 for your first course.

OK guys I'm in for March of the Psychlos

Nice Matt, be sure to include mellotrons.

Plural intentional btw

Mellotron percussion tape frame here I come

Trayce I think you should do Evil Purpose. I think I'm better suited for adding a vocal track if anyone wants one.

Well maybe if I do an instro i can send it to you to vocalise! I cant promise anything I come up with will be *good* mind u.

Oh man I missed out on this thread. I wish I could get on board, this is such a ridiculous album as source inspiration! I have heard it! It is really bad. I guess the last "Thanks for listening" track isn't really taken - I could do it. Its fucking nutso L Ron trying to be a crooner or whatever - I think the whole thing was his idea of doing like a Jackie Gleason-produced smooth pop album or something. I love how Chick Corea is always willing to throw away any shred of cred for $cientology...

but if we're extending things to whatever those songs are from I want "Funeral for a Planet" !!! What a title!

Shit I am going to have to back out. All of my stuff is broken and I am broke, soooo... Someone else take The ARC Song and fly! FLY!

you know what kills planets don't you? suppressive persons...

but blasting nukes in volcanoes will only fuck a planet up for a few million years.

Will take whatever's available.

SOMEONE has to do "L'Envoi Thank You For Listening" -- that thing is the funniest.

Well maybe if I do an instro i can send it to you to vocalise!

Let's do this.

seriously where is LJ and why hasn't he already claimed L'ENVOI THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

poly - I'll do my best! I'm a timidly bad songwriter but I'll see wot I can do.

There needs to be some nasty whispering in it tho imo.

SOMEONE has to do "L'Envoi Thank You For Listening" -- that thing is the funniest.
