I have seen his efforts. You're in for an art-design treat.

THAT song though, Good Lord, Lord Rixondale! What WERE you thinking?

I thought you liked the solo output of Brian May*

_{I jest. Or do i?}

Really enjoyed listening to that CD this morning.

A few tracks on there of stuff I know:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

The Cure - A Forrest (one of my all time faves), Interpol - (not sure of the track name but one of their best), Beastie Boys - Root down (excellent mix)

A fantastic blast from the past:

Men at Work - Overkill :luv:

Some really good tuneful stuff on there that I'd never heard of, and a smattering of stuff like Deftones (?) that's ok but not really my bag, and a peculiar metal monstrosity that sounds like Jethro Tull jumps into towards the end.

Scores:
895 Bananas for the CD
15 Bananas for the imaginative packaging

I have a CD! From the Isle of Man! I wonder who that could be :shrug:

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:41

I'm getting the wax cylinders ready for a recording session over the next couple of days. Would have been quicker, but a stupid dog keeps on looking down the horn.

I've sent mine out. I haven't got any yet though.

I crave exciting new music to listen to as Lady Rixondale keeps on subjecting me to Lady Gaga and flippin' Biffy Clyro.

Hurrah! Finally sent mine (well asked the post monkey to send them, anyway)

Would ask that any receipients listen all the way through, as i've just realised i put some odd ones near the start, but did try and mix up the genres a bit.

I has a CD! It is called "Raw Material and Recycled Material" and it has brilliantly minimalist packaging.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

It appears to be an album of unusual covers/lesser heard originals/remixes, meaning it contains Johnny Cash's glorious "Hurt" and an awesome Goth cover of "Gimme Shelter" amongst others.

It's largely good stuff and I can see myself listening to it a lot over the coming weeks. Thanks mysterious sender!

_{A tracklisting would be nice though...}

Kern · **Posted:** Fri Apr 01, 2011 18:15

Received two today. Will listen and report back over the weekend. Thanks!
My player-piano rolls will be going out tomorrow.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Fri Apr 01, 2011 23:45

Received! Ta friend!

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

It has Beastie Boys and The Cure and lots of stuff I do not know. One blippy pop song works perfectly with Minecraft. PERFECTLY.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:33

The same as what I got then, Pete.

NOW WHERE ARE MY OTHER CDS! OMFG WTF RNLI RSVP

flis · **Joined:** 26th May, 2008 **Posts:** 3333

I also got that one and found it quite enjoyable, I had it on yesterday afteroon and it played through about 3 timed, I think. Thanks Mypsie....I mean, mystery sendererer....

*Waits for Russ to wake up so I can get tracklisting*

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:08

My CDs are burned and ready... and at home as I forgot to bring them to work with me.

Ooh ohh! 'nother CD, 'nother CD!! I feel so spoilt....

I has one!

And am sending mine out today!

kalmar · **Posted:** Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:13

Well that was an interesting CD! Not exactly the type of music I usually listen to, but hey it's different, and that's the point

I think I could hazard a guess at the originator, but will save it

You can guess in here if you think you know who it is.

I got one that I would describe in the same way

I think it was probably from Kern, it was nice to listen to and some of it was really enjoyable! Made me feel like I could have been sat around a camp fire, joyfully planning the next assault on a weaken enemy! I'll have to have a look later and see what I liked mostest

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12249

I have two so far. Reviews will follow when I've had a couple more listens.

Well that was my guess too

I liked the classical bits more than the folky bits probably, but it was all interesting.
Good one, cheers! Maybe another one will come today..

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:33

Please.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:49

Really enjoying the two discs I've received so far. Will write about them either tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks. I was half-tempted to do a fully classical one (why didn't I think of 4'33''?) but decided to include a full-work of around half an hour: 'Metamorphosen' is one of my favourite pieces but not that well-known.

Purcell's 'Thou know'st Lord' is nigh-on perfect and I want it played at my wedding and funeral, despite not being religious.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Apr 05, 2011 23:32

Three tracks in and my CD (plain, with Beex 2011 scrawled on it) is infinitely more varied than mine.

No... I mean the one I received. My sentence above was written very poorly.

I have received a varied and interesting collection.

It makes me feel bad for the ones I sent out, as much as I love all the tracks on it.

I owe you a CD anyway, throughsilver. If you send me your address I'm happy to burn a 4th copy.

throughsilver · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 6197

Heh, I did wonder why your CD was more varied than yours.

And nice one that man. I plan a similar thing for the people who escaped my 2009 Summer Comp madness.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:10

I have decided that the next time we do this I am going to make a CD with 20 tracks (or however many I can fit on), one per year starting at the present and going backwards.

markh · **Joined:** 13th Oct, 2008 **Posts:** 903

I meant to put a track listing in mine, but left it so late, thought i'd best just post it! If anyone wants any details lemme know.

I now haz 3 CDs!!

Listening to CD 3 commences in 10 minutes. I don't know who it is from...but I like the little picture that has been drawn on the CD

And I'm resisting the urge to look at the track listing. Just.....

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 20:11

I have sent 3 CDs and received 1.

The ones I sent should have arrived today or tomorrow or something.

I am positively spoilt!

I got one from Mypsie, which is a mixture of pop/rock/indie/alternative/experimental/metal/funk. One from Kern, which is the one you got, with a mix of classical and folk and such with a secret surprise at the end

And I love no.8, my favourite cartoon when I was about 11 I think. And one from (most likely) throughsilver, which probably has a bit of everything in. And some frickin' black eyed peas.....

So what do we do now? Review each CD or track or what? Someone tell me what to do, dammit!!

Edit: stupid 'Peas.

kalmar · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 21:45

I suspect the black eye peas were put there specifically to wind you up then.

Heh. I just haven't got around to dedicating the time to picking tracks. The last one took me bloody ages.

Miss Malabar has a hair appointment on Sunday, so I might do it then, if I'm conscious at that time.
