Compilation 2011

[Camiel]

I suppose Mike is right.

Mike's idea makes sense.
EP would be great, because I dont want to put others outside of the train. So we can manage compromise between those who submitted tracks/listeners who look forward to it and with those who dont have the stuff ready yet, but will have it the future....

To my knowledge there are possible 6 tracks to release now.
So that could be EP1, then in the year 2012 then there could be EP2... etc, possible 3 EPs...

Then they can be released at the end of the year...in their new remix versions to make it more interesting...

This history of compilations are here too many years, it will be sad to break the tradition now... So I think this little change can make this compilation project go further on its course. Its not like last years, but its like compromise of the tradition with modernity...
We all can make ideas but Brian will choose what do do...

I appreciate your efforts at organizing the project this year, holden. I think just fewer people are visiting the site these days with the decline of UW's popularity, coupled with the fanbase growing up and life and responsibilities getting in the way of extracurricular activities. It's probably not a bad idea to catch as catch-can for this project

It is an excellent project, but perhaps just accept that the 2011 compilation is over... you could do a mini EP with the tracks already submitted, consider it the 2012 EP. And then look forward to the next one, which could start momentum in July / August and it could be finished in time for the start of 2013.

Appreciate the comments, folks. I understand how life gets in the way. I compose music as a hobby, but its something i spend a fair amount of time on, perhaps more than i should or others can. i figured that, even if some regulars dropped out, we'd have new people to contribute. Maybe, but not right now!

I like the idea of a series of EPs, to maybe generate some interest for later in the year and to show appreciation for the other guys who contributed their tracks. More soon. Thanks for the encouragement...

Cool, y'all!

Here's what i have for the first EP. "Electric Eye on You":

Liquid Green: "Islandica"
Liquid Green: "Lausanne"
Mental Health Consumer: "You're Not Going Anywhere"
Mental Health Consumer: "Late Afternoon, Latest November"
TF Hats: "*I Am The Gentle Autumn Rain"
TF Hats: "Phosphorstadt"

Everyone happy?!

I have a few Liquid Green/Mental Health Consumer remixes that might be for another day, but mostly i think this is ready to go. Hopefully, this will inspire remixes and/or original productions for the next iteration.

Coming very soon. I'll post it to my netlabel. If it can go onto dirtyradio, too, that'd be great!

Sure, absolutely happy to promote!

[undarrenworld]

You are doing great work Holden!

Good to see this project go on.
I will give samples of Liquid Green's track anyone who wish to remix it.
Lets contribute on the next EP, remix or new composition...
These Dirty Compilations were always very good and Im grateful and happy that I could be part of it.

Yeah, sorry to be so unreliable on this. It really just came up during what's literally been the busiest time of my life. I will have new songs to submit for future EPs and comps though....
