Digital Vomit Records

Sorry for the delay, I have been in and out of jail over the last 2 or 3 months having all sorts of insane issues going down. To make a long story short I apologize to everyone for the delay of the ambient compilation. My original plan was to release it on Thanksgiving, but now I am releasing it this coming weekend, which gives all those who haven't contributed a few extra days to submit a track.

I suppose this will be my last compilation attempt seeing as how I suck at organizing them and putting them together. So anyway, the comp will be out this weekend. Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported the efforts. Rock on.

I'm guessing you probably have bigger fish to fry right now, however… any sign of it?

actually, holy shit, i have this genius-ass ambient album sitting around… i use it as a drink coaster. the best part about ambient is like, it's not hard to make. it's fucking ambient.

i don't own equipment, however, my contributions to the field of ambient music are not to be taken lightly. i rock the ambient world in a way it was never meant to be rocked before.. kind of like selected ambient works 1, but i'm more like, unselected ambient slags 4.

I SHALL GET ON THIS AKIN TO A SPREAD EAGLE PROSTITUE ON MY BED WHEN IG ET HOME

The tone of Admiral Awesome's posts is really coming across as somewhat less than awesome. I wonder if he's popped up from one of those other forums, if you know what I mean.

i know exactly what u mean.

Oh come on, it's hardly Pidgin is it? I'm reserving judgement until I hear some audio. Or if AA starts calling us all twats or something.

well, yes, if AA is actually someone intending to provide something positive for DV, then hello and welcome.
maybe a "wacky" "sense" of "humour", reminds me of someone tho…

Oh come on, it's hardly Pidgin is it?

Well, those of us who read stuff from that other place can say that Pidgin might have been a grumpy git about us here, but there are other worse people who don't even care about the music so much as pretending to start a dialogue in order to simply troll, and while I hope that isn't the case here, who knows?

is there some way we can transfer the tracks/compiling duties to a different leader? no offense intended, but i'd actually looked forward to this release and am tired of the endless delays.

oh, and as for the above (possible) troll…whatever. if he/she/it has something further (of merit) to say, i say we hear them out. if not, then i imagine deleting their account is simple enough.

Do we even know who sent tracks or where they might be found if we have to reconstruct this? I'm quite willing to take this on if nobody else is, but right now I say give our man a bit longer. If he's got big problems elsewhere this more than likely isn't top of the to-do pile right now…

I'm with Thee on this. We should let Frater finish it (if he wants). On the other hand, If he doesn't wants to continue (and I can understand that choice), then it would be nice if he could hand the over to some one to finish that would be good.

Frater, I don't mind picking it up and doing it you want me to….
you've got my email?

Is there anything happening here?

Yeah, do you wanna take over Crumb? I totally dropped the ball on this one.
Had all kinds of friends and family die, computer problem after problem, etc. etc.
blah blah excuses, excuses, I can send you everything I have for it if you give me your e-mail address and you can release it.

I didn't really get enough tracks and also got tired of trying to get people to send me tracks. I guess I wanted it to be bigger and have about 20 songs or so and at the moment I have about 10 I think. So that was the biggest thing, then shit started happening. I suppose this is my last attempt at hosting a Compilation album.

I didn't realize how much work went into it, I guess.
I would like to use the album cover I made still though.

just put what you have together in a .zip file, and put it up on http://www.sendspace.com/, and then post the URL to the sendspace link here.

ALright, give me a minute to sort everything out.
Once again, sorry for dropping the ball, had a rough year.
boo hoo hoo, right?
later fella's

Do you still need tracks for this thing?

Do you still need tracks for this thing?

I think there's a chance that we will do - look out for some more info when we have some…

alright, here is the download link to this album

http://www.sendspace.com/file/mfdhy1

I apologize, I suppose when I did have time to work on shit I was doing something else.
Anyway I have another project going that I am on top of actually if anyone wants in on it.

This one will go differently.
I will post it in another thread.

Thanks for taking this over.
I got tired of trying to get people to send me tracks
I wasn't satisfied with the length
I wanted it to be a really big album.

later man

Ok, I've got it - it would appear that I'm taking this on now, so I'll post some more when I've had a chance to listen to what we've got.

Thanks Frater, you did what you could so don't feel bad about it or anything, these things happen.

I'll do my best to knock this into shape in the near future (although we'll see if it gets done before I go to Japan or not) but if anybody's got tracks they want to send then let me know…

TC, I sent in a track at one point; I guess it didn't get through. It's here @ 320 (right-click on Download then Save Link As), but if you'd rather have the WAV, let me know.

Incidentally, a buddy of mine did a remix of it, much to my amusement.

Thanks, Mitch - I've got it now.

Right, I've had a listen through what I've got and it's in pretty good shape. Including Mitch's track, there are 15 in all, coming in at just over an hour's playing time. That will be reduced to 14 for a while as I intend to replace my track as it's already been released elsewhere now (_{an unsubtle plug, I know})

Most of them are 320K MP3 files so that won't be a problem. There are a few issues however, as I'd like to keep everything the same bitrates (just to be awkward):

I have 2 WAV files, I'm guessing Lee won't mind me using his WAV to produce an MP3 as he said we could do what we liked with it on the other thread but I don't know who submitted the WAV file The Perfect Drone. Would they like to make themselves known?

The track Sleepsong2 is Sleep Now Bug Eyed Woman by Subsonika (as I discovered by looking through the other thread) so I could master a 320 MP3 from the WAV on Archive.org if you're unable to provide one as the version I have now is 224.

Frater's track is at 192 and Drew's is a WMA - any chance of 320s of these?

(Note: on edit - if you can't or really don't feel you want to then I don't mind - I'll just use what I've got…)

If there's anybody else out there who wants to send in a track and hasn't - I'm gonna give you until midnight on May 21st UK time - (no later unless you can persuade me otherwise). Then I'll do my best to get the whole thing up by the end of May.

Either upload tracks somewhere and send me the links or send them directly to me. 320K MP3s only please and tag the tracks so I know who they're by. The e-mail is

wmm06 AT hotmail DOT co DOT uk

If you send me tracks directly, let me know here please, as I've had occasional problems in the past with sending and receiving MP3s on Hotmail.

One last thing, I'll be keeping the title May Cause Drowsiness but I'm not so sure about the cover. Any thoughts?

Edit: I've bagged DVR056 for this.

The Perfect Drone

i think that would be me. (as Drive) - it's a remix of my AAAAAaaaaaargh track.

Ok then Keith, thanks for that - I never would've guessed it was a remix of that, I must admit. Do you want to send me an MP3 of that or shall I just knock one up from the WAV file I've already got?

I'm sure your conversion would be as good as mine. '-)

Glad to see this is still on. Sorry to hear of your troubles Frater, shit does indeed happen, hope all's not too bad with you now.

i'll sort out a new version. been so busy with uni havent had time to even think about music lately

Whoops! WMA? Not even sure how I saved it as one? If you don't mind converting that would be super, thanks

No problem - there's a little bit of time yet. Just one question: is the track supposed to cut off at the end like it does?

I can sort that out.

This is shaping up nicely now. I spammed this at a couple of other places, not really expecting much, and I've had several more tracks in and a few more maybe on the way - all from people who've never contributed anything here before. I've no idea if they'll ever want to contribute anything furthur after hearing the end product :) Still, this is going to be interesting regardless.

No problem - there's a little bit of time yet. Just one question: is the track supposed to cut off at the end like it does?

no idea - havent heard it for ages. i'll prob just record a new mix for the fun of it.

Cool :)

Just a reminder to anybody else lurking out there who wants to send a track in and hasn't yet - you have until midnight next friday (21st May)

Sorry to be a pain - could you please remove my track from this compilation? I have other plans for it. Thanks.

Sent track to hotmail.

No prob - consider it done.

Sent track to hotmail.

I've got it, thanks!

Do you want the other covers I made to choose another
or do you want to make a new one.
Now that I think of it, I think they are in this thread somewhere.
if not, then let me know.

Well I did ask if anybody had any thoughts about the cover but got no response either way - so I'm not too sure if I'm going to go with the one I posted above or make an entirely new one. It'll probably come down to how much time I've got next weekend. The other two are in the other thread so I can grab them from there if I need to.

I'm not a fan of the proposed cover but I don't have an alternative. So go man go.

But maybe this search will yield something you like:

Here is another option for a cover I made, just to confuse things ;)

My favorite thus far.

I reckon that's the one :)

Could you adapt it for me if I send you the full tracklisting as it'll be easier for you to do that. That won't be until next weekend though - we're up to 20 tracks now as well.

nice one.
yeah, i left space for more tracks etc to be added/changed so no problem.
send stuff to mistermeep_at_gmail_dotcom
nice to see this finally getting a release :)

Ooh yeah, that's very cool, I like the pharmaceutical aesthetic, it's done very accurately. If you could make it look even more realistic with shading and reflections so it looks like a real bottle of pills that would be awesome but it's pretty cool as it is.

perfect! ideal! lovely!

now leave it alone ;)

hey meep and all,

like the cover - the latest posted version.
i did however find an error in my track title - not sure if it's only on the cover or also in the mp3 tag - i think i should have tagged it correctly - it should say:

"his Namelessness Is Legion - Synaptic Sleepercell" (as in 'inactive terrorcell' Says :"sleep cell" on the cover)… and the "h" in "his" is always lowercase with this project name… i know, confusing, isn't it…:)

well, if you (and or whoever is uploading the mp3s) could correct that, i'd be very grateful. thanx a lot!

cheers, oliver/th

Don't worry, Meep's only doing a rough cover right now - I have the full tracklisting that I'll be sending over once submissions are closed and your track is correctly listed there as "his Namelessness Is Legion - Synaptic Sleepercell" - there's a couple more long titles as well, so I hope that isn't going to screw the cover up.

BTW, submissions close on Friday at Midnight UK time - so if anybody else wants to send me a track you'd better get a move on.

New version of the cover is right on the money, looks slick.

thanx, the crumb, for putting my mind at rest..:) if, though, the long title screws up the layout too much, i don't mind if "his Namelessness…" is shortened to "hNIL".
very much looking forward to this release.

hi oliver,
yes as mr. crumb said that was only really a draft version, all names and titles will be good on the final version, promise ;)
and i can't complain about long names, i think my track title is the longest of the lot!

Best. Cover. Ever.

Bravo.

That really is a top cover :)

Well, I'm glad we're all agreed about the cover…
