Nice one :-) I like it, maybe except the police of the text & its position.
Don't forget there will also be "a psynews.org compilation" written on the front :-)
Course there will be one, so you can start working on it, but I'll start talking of that cover thing in March 1, not before ;-) Would take me too much time !
Can you give us a brief description ?
Might be interesting for people who think "oh @!#$ I can't do anything good with that" and hear your track made with the same equipment they have :-)
Just to say you that you have lots of chances to be part of the winners if your track is good, cause the compil will have at least 1 ambient track and there is currently only 2-3 ambient tracks participating ... so ... don't hesitate to send us your track ;-)
My current favourites so far :
Sneila Flying Objects Always Reach The Ground
Masada Bhongo Bhonged
Spiralix Spirit Guide
Chiron Ice Age
Amygdala Proprioception Malfunction
Sienis Rubbabong
Lunari LTK 007 2002
Roomush High-Energy Gamma Rays
And you ?
About the "spamming" from these groups I don't think it's bad, provided they don't write tons of spams :-) But that would better fit in the "music making" section
Well the prepature opinions aim is to permit people who can't dload all the tracks to dload the ones people who speak on the forum advise ... also permits to give artists who won't win to get some feedback on their work, so I really don't see what's wrong with that ...
About "becoming commercial" ... are you kidding ? Do u really think this contest is commercial ? Can't be more underground, as most of the winners wouldn't get a chance to release anything without it ... moreover I don't think INPSYDE MEDIA will sell 100000 copies like most of the REALLY commercial groups you hear at radio or tv ...
Automatch : the problem is that we have to fix limits between underground & commercial goa, which is not always easy (Ex : Platipus), particularly when I don't know anything about the group I'm talking about ...
Aren't there 13 Crystal Skulls ? And Aren't there 6 Revelations in the comp ?
So ... where are the 7 others ? I think that lets think a part 2 will be released :-)
My favorite : Lunari (very nice James Bond Theme remix, certainly the best I've ever heard)
Other advices : Complexz, Moai, Skiza, Sputer, Never Trust A DJ, Epic Automata, DJ Michael Paul And Pixie
And you ?
Well each visitor will be able to vote.
You will also have to say how many tracks u listened to, and each vote will be associated to a factor "nb of tracks you listened to / total nb of tracks".
There will also be a "reduced jury" for these votes, only composed of visitors who will have listened to ALL the tracks. That will permit to reduce the effects of "cheating" in the first votes system.
Hum the Spiralix is in the list, at the bottom. I removed the Weird Vibes, problem with the URL and I don't have the rights to fix that ... will be added in the next update, as well as other new tracks.
