Congrats to Antarctica, the most IDM thing in the universe.

Amazing news fellas, I feel good about Antarcica. I hope to contribute music and artwork submissions.

Complaints of "inappropriate touching" were made against a Santa who had posed for photographs on a decorated snowmobile at the U.S. McMurdo station, on the edge of the continent, a New Zealand newspaper reported on Wednesday.

I guess that's kind of IDM. At least it's very WATMM-ish...

cover art competition. it's interesting.

I have few pics for it.

More specifically, what's the deadline for artwork submissions? or is that yet to be determined?

just for reference, what were the past "most IDM" things? I believe beards was one of them?

I must be informed

Beards, Black Holes, and Anarctica.

The first year a compilation was devoted to Deep Sea Creatures ( who were ballin' outta contol, and last time I checked they still were). This compilation was the maiden release for fledgling label Futonic records. It was released in hard copy form.

Beards had a compilation as well.

Last year Black Holes won the big dance and futonic records again released a compilation devoted to IDM honcho Black holes. This was released as a digital download.

As far as i know their were no other IDM Bracketology associated releases.

I think there should be extra tracks only available on the hardcopy as an incentive to buy it, along with nice artwork.

i also like the idea of white vinyl... but that might be a pipe dream. CDr like DSC? or free download?

If you announce some sort of hard copy (vinyl or CDR) you will get more and better submissions, I reckon.

Everyone likes to be on a CD with a box and pictures and stuff

true, i wouldn't submit a track if i thought it was for hard copy, but would submit a track for a download release

You can just get those printable CDrs... they're white

coloured vinyl sounds horrible though (quality-wise), so it would be more of a gimmick than anything else. If you got enough pre-orders, you could make a limited run (say 100) happen:

I've run into trouble using those white cds, half of them were unusable and I had to re-burn the same disc twice. Maybe it's just me though, just want to throw that out there.

you can buy cd painters as well.

No ambient pads from me, I can assure you that.

i'd like to say i'm not going to either, but who am i fucking kidding? i love icy ambient pads!

the question is, how many people are going to filter white noise up in this mofo?

Yeah they were Verbatim, it must've been a bad batch... but I'd say out of 10, 3 or 4 were usuable. QC must've took the day off.

good one, it should win if only for the fact that's where the penguins are
