We could use an Underworld lyric.

I quite like 'Sweet In Winter, Sweet In Rain' from Dirty Epic.

Works for me.

Thats the one ;)

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

Heck yea, let's run that.

Now for the deadline... what should we set?

On a side note, I'm very excited about this. I'm actually writing a new song for the comp, already have started, and it's completely different from anything I've ever written. If Nine Inch Nails and Love Spirals Downwards had a baby, this is what their kid's first words would sound like.

Nice.. works perfectly

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

"Sweet in winter, sweet in rain..."
i love it!

So, it's early-mid August now. Should we set maybe a late october deadline and see where we stand? I know we're going to end up extending it, but at least there's a date to shoot for?

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

Really cool, glad the name is approved, one of my favourite Underworld lyrics!

So far then:-

Dirty Compilation 2009 Name: 'Sweet In Winter, Sweet In Rain'

Submission Deadline (For Now!): Late October 09

I Better get working on a track now then!

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

Good luck everyone!

Actually.. i dont know how the last one of these went, but it occured to me that we could all probably come together on a track or something.

I was looking at my twitter and saw that Yannick was wondering if people wanted to share ideas and collaborate using a site/programme called Drop box... (www.getdropbox.com).

Now i dont know anything about this site, and what it is capable of but perhaps there is a chance that we could all contribute collectively to either a single track and/or create a second "disc" if you will of remixes where each artist gets assigned one of the other artists submitted tracks to make a remix of. It would not only create an even more dynamic end product but also help us to learn more about what each person was trying to achieve with the music and also get to know each other on a musically professional level. It could be brilliant? but it could be a step too far....... so i think it should be mulled over for awhile and we all have a say on it. see if it is at the very least plausible.


One thing though... this part of the project would not come into play until all of the original material has been submitted or at least not until after the submission deadline.. that way we dont distract from the most important part of this which is the original album.

Also this is something that could be done well after the album has been released.. something as a suplement for those itching to start the 2010 album i guess!

but really, anybody think this is a good idea or is it a step to far?

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

Hmm, I'd be willing to give that a go. But even with dropbox I think it'd be a massive undertaking, everyone would have to break down their songs in some way to where the individual parts could be manipulated. Basically we're talking about lots of prep on the original artists' part, 500+ mb of audio to transfer and then the actual remixing. I don't know if everyone would follow through, but I'd be willing to remain cautiously optimistic.

Re: Dirty compilation 2009
 

"Cautiously optimistic" being the most important part there!!!

ha your right, and im happy you mentioned that because im terrible at getting huge plans in my headd and not thinking of the little important things like that...


... it would be a lot of prep..
