Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation

[maus]

i am alive!

sorry for not stopping in to say hello, work was a bit hectic the last few weeks, but i've been cranking on a site for all this themed around the "dreamgirl, i'm desperate for you" title - which i assume is what we're still calling this? i frickin' hope so 'cause i've been bashing my head against tables all day.

i noticed a few folks worried about the 74-minute mark... are we aiming to put this on a CD? i, for one, think we should break out of that mindset altogether as it's kind of an antiquated notion (rumour actually has it that there will be no more CDs produced by the major labels here in LA after xmas this year...)

that way we don't have to worry about total project length...

forgive me if i'm re-hashing stuff that's already been discussed... didn't have time to read through the whole thread here, just wanted to stop in.

anyways, looking forward to the finished product.

guess i'd better finish up my track, eh?

love,
c

I agree about the cd-format thing, although I can imagine some people would want to be able to burn a cd to play in the car or something. But let's worry about this when we know the total running time of all the tracks sent so far.

as far as domainname goes, I think it's up between darkandirtymusic or darktraintunes...

the comp name/theme is still dreamgirl, I'm desperate for you.

Cheers, Maus!

Here's the latest strawman for album artwork, order TBD and awaiting a few people:

Looks great.

Ok, I have sent all the files I have to Chris. That means:

AViD
Cranks
Grandbrother
LX Nen (although I did not receive a bio and pic from you)
Sputnikk
The Night Owl
Tin Foil Hats

I have also included my own track, even though it's not finished. I decided it's good to get some feedback instead of me being the only one to hear it all the time. It's called A Gator Got Her - Involuntary Dub.

Which of my tracks have you sent to Chris, Leon?

The Dreamgirl one, if you don't mind. Because you made it for the compilation, so it should be in there

What a gorgeous website, Maus. Nice work!

Looking forward to listening to all these tonight

It looks great Holden. If I could make one suggestion, have you tried bumping up the contrast a little bit on the overall design? It just looks a little washed out to me, like the darks could stand to be darker. Feel free to tell me to screw off obviously, but I figured I'd throw it out there. And please don't let it overshadow the fact that I think it's looking fantastic, and that I appreciate the work you're doing on it. Thanks!

haven't incorporated the cd cover yet... probably have to re-visit that, but i figured we're still missing some bios and photos, and some tracks might not be right, so everythings modifiable.

i went with this domain... seemed a good compromise of what everyone was thinking:

http://www.darksounds.org/

it's possible that the domain name hasn't propagated around the planet just yet, so some of you might get 404s or domain not found business for the next few hours.

oh... and the .zip of all the tracks is still uploading... it'll take about 30 more minutes.

cheers,

So great to finally see this up and running! Thanks for putting the site together Maus! Downloading all the tracks now...
