BoC fan-based cover/remix album

Are your creative juices flowing after participating in Project168? Are you a BOC fan and music maker? Join us in creating the first fan-based BoC cover/remix/tribute album. PM or e-mail me if you're interested.

After gathering the initial headcount, the plan is to have everyone making 1 or 2 songs within a 2 week period starting in March. If you can contribute music, web-skills, artwork, or video, I'll provide the webspace. Please share any ideas you have for this event.

(mods - feel free to move this to wherever...I know it covers a few groups)

I'm not saying this is a bad idea as such, but I think all the artists will REALLY have to bring something new to the table in order to make this interesting.

agreed. new interpretations are VERY welcome, like my remix of

I cant make it....I am going on a snowboarding trip this friday... I have some ideas for a My-Own-Cutted-Boc-Video as well as for a DrillRemix of a Boctrack..but pitty it will stay only in my mind for this tribute, I am still able to do this MOCBOCvideo for the webpage(it will come late but...ok..not wasting time..(willPM)..

I agree. BoC is almost so easy to imitate the surface noise of, that anybody can take a stab at it. Seriously though. Why even bother? Just let their music be the tribute to itself and don't degrade things by inserting half-assed interpretations of their music into your own works.

it's a very ... risky move. think of all the shitty tribute albums that are out there, especially the string quartet tributes and Die Krüpps tribute to MetallicA lol :-p

hahaha yeah, I guess tribute is the completely wrong direction I wanted. maybe it'd be best to keep this to a dozen or so folks, or just close friends.

or be very clever with choosing works for this one... looks like a work of making ideas not right here on the board but hide them for PMs and stuff....

WELL THANK GOD, cuz if you didnt post this i woulda thought alls you do is go around telling people to shut up and go away because they're not up to your undoubtedly fucking-things-since-age-12 standards. so if there's almighty non-american musicians involved, even if its a cover song (what are those, tbw?) its ok to discourse ideas.

however someone does it on their own with hulk hogan instead of BOC, its shutup go to ekt. i mean, by your logic isnt this what EKT is for and you dont need some shit-talking-wannabe/internet-musicians clogging up your beloved general discussion.

you're a smarmy quasi-intellectual who can't hang when your hypocrisies are exposed... so please like, try to evolve as opposed to regulate, thank you.

being selective without being elitist works for me. thanks for your opinions - I wanted to run this by everyone to get some sort of direction.

w3rd. it's sort of like covering the beatles. BOC's shoes are WAY too big to fill. most of the tracks will just end up sounding pretty shity in comparison to the originals

LOL, I didn't even see this until now. So this is what he was going on about in that other thread. What a silly boy.

Thanks for all the e-mails/PMs...I'll respond to you shortly. In the meantime, we have a new direction:

Only covers/remixes/etc of unreleased BoC material will be accepted (Old Tunes 1+2, A Few Old Tunes...). If your track meets this requirement, and its good, I'll be included. Not only will this be more interesting, but we're stating as fans "yes, there's demand for any part of the back catalogue to be released."
