ILX Compilation 7: COUGH PILL NATION

There is talk of a bonus EP for those who missed the boat, btw (or those with more to give...)

Just submitted one for the bonus EP. Listening to this now and wow, these songs are amazing and I’m not sure mine will measure up in quality. Also, holy shit @ lumen’s!

thank you for loving esby :)

We are officially accepting submissions from stragglers (and repeat offenders) for a follow-up EP...

I've only just listened to this for the first time and wow it's quality, some choice cuts and an amazing diversity and range, as ever.

Mar3snest let me know when your neo-classical ambient album is pick of the week at Boomkat :)

Just listening to it, great stuff so far. I was hoping this whole lockdown situation would finally give me some time to record but it really hasn't worked out that way at all...

What's the deadline for the special edition EP?

monday after next?

cough ep cough

i'm taking next week off - hopefully things will move then! been a bit busy recently, plus only you and epistantophus (x2) have submitted anything so far...

lol split 7” I guess

I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something.

imago - would you have any interest in uploading the ILX aphex twin covers compilation to that bandcamp? it seems like a more stable location for it than my personal soundcloud, which is where it lives right now

email me the WAVs and I'll give it a go! :)

I could chuck another one of mine in your direction if you want

you all have not very long (day or two idk) if you want to join the bonus EP fun

He means NOW y’all

There will be more of these, but for now I present, the WEST DAKOTA EP

Hooray!

I left it too late.

There will be more!

Like, if 5 of you give me stuff by next weekend I'll probably put it out as another EP, or something

Thanks for putting this together, Imago.

These are great! Especially love SV's beautiful, opaque electronica.

Yes, great work all round.

Finally getting round to listening to the original compilation and it's great! I tend to gravitate to the electronic/ambient pieces (love Tom, Lumen and ShariVari's) but good stuff all round.

2021 is here. Compilation 8? For like May/June?

Sounds good.

Count me in.

So long as you don't count yourself out again a few months later ;)

Got to think of a theme. 'Mindless hedonism as we surge out of lockdown' might be an approximation of it

Definitely up for another go-around.

Sign me up.

I'd like to contribute something

Heyyy maybe.

Sounds like fun

Ooh I'm in

I'm in too

doin it

Came up with some good ideas for this, some guitar parts, lyrics, a basic concept, but may need to get some gear fixed up and/or purchased to fully realize it.

you have time

So, when is this going to be officially opened?

might start a thread

Good idea

you have time

I know, but I only get shit like this done when I'm actively interested and have momentum, and that unfortunately dissipates quickly for me.

Cool, I already have an idea for this !
Basically, at this point in my life, my inspiration/motivation to make new music depends entirely on ILX projects... So if I get this done, it will be my only song since ILX7. 1 song/year. sad (especially since I've been more or less in lockdown/WFH since march 2020 with PLENTY of time !).

haa, I'm more or less in the same boat

lol Thirded....

the solution is to start an ILX house band

I've been reflecting lately that a lot of my lack of productivity stems from being answerable only to myself. I'd probably be much better off collaborating with people.
