An Electronic Tribute To Antarctica - Various Artists

Figured I'd bend the rules once again and cross post this, since it's quite a watmm topic. Take a moment if you will, and put aside the madness of general banter and bask in the goodness that is your fellow WATTMer's own compositions.

some alien

there's lots of weird stuff going on with the compilation. Too much dare I say. And any relationship to any alien tv show is purely coincidence since i've never watched it. I didn't understand when awkward said something in the other thread. But AW illuminated me.... Strange.

Release it to me January 11th or i won't fucking listen.

ignored my artwork heh? You can't teach taste i suppose.

artwork is ace but yeh that font is wretched

well i like it enough cuz it was one of the most visible ones that could blend decently. Too late now anyway :P~

awesome! i'll be getting this... but yeah... copperplate font? EEEEWWWW!

watmm, the fab five of album artwork :)

hey, i'm gonna say something negative about the font too!

i fix 4 u

Hahaha!

The punctuation in the release's title is worse than Asymmetrical Head's constant use of "..." and "!".

Huh, what punctuation ?

Well, I for one

'I' ?!, mwuh (is even more confused)

lol, don't know what happened there... I was meant to say - Well, I for one like it...

Ah gotcha, I thought you were referring to the supposed punctuation problem

I think the whole compilation is just possessed and makes anyone listening to it or talking about it do very strange things. That is my diagnosis.

Some things i've noticed:

Some of the similar names. That messes with me too cuz I didn't notice until i the final track layout.

Kara Karasu- Katie Kilobyte

Open Boy - Beneboi

And then AW pointed out to me that not only does the font look like battlestar galactia, but Antarctica kind of rhymes with it, both of which are quite coincidental.

Some of the artists real names, and email address were sometimes similar to other artists WATMM names, or real names, making things a bit confusing.

Beneboi was very cordial

A lot of the tracks have weird noises in them and during mastering I was constantly looking around for a ringing phone, someone knocking on the door, someone talking, etc. And I was not high (well I was at the final session)

One of the artists couldn't mail me their master wav b/c they were out of the country for many months.

Some of the songs blend so well into each other you can hardly tell the track has changed (which is due to track layout, but that's why certain songs went certain places).

there were also some tracks that originally had the same names(by different artists) or similar names, making me mix them up quite easily until I requested name changes.

I was crushed when I rejected a pretty awesome song that was based on a sampled ska song and honestly rocked. But it srsly didn't fit in at all. Broke mah heart.

OH! Another thing, While I was making changes and getting the layout finished up and listening on headphones, my friend that mastered everything was watching the next season of the boondocks (he does all the music).During some of the scenes that didn't have music yet, there were a couple times that the Antarctica tracks I was listening to went along perfectly with a scene from show (he just had unfinished rough drafts without all the sound fx and music placed correctly). It was bizzare at the time. (again not high)

Yeah I don't know what the deal is with that. All I can say is the "an" I like and is also a reference to "an hero". Because I'm sure someone from watmm will become one someday.

Plus its grammatically correct to have 'An' before 'Electronic'. But I think Enter a new display name was referring to something else (as to what that is I'm not sure !)

Unless of course he's talking about:

what EANDN was referring to was my constant uses of "..." and "!" something i've been doing for a long time on watmm!

ceedeezz

yeah while that can go either way (Cd's, Cds) and I don't think that Cd's is entirely an irrelevant punctuation, I suppose the acronym in the most correct form is indeed Cds.

Spell check in firefox sees Cd's as correct and Cds as mispelled.

terrible font or not (unfortunately it is indeed terrible)

congratulations are in order, well done brandi_b.
