Wow, well done everyone (and special thanks go to our mixmaster / lion tamer Heraclitus!). I think this release feels the most cohesive one yet
I haven't been around much recently (work is terrible until the Christmas break) so I've missed out on a lot of the conversations. My son and I listened to the whole album this evening and I thought I'd write a few comments that occurred to us while we were listening:
1 Sonic Koalas track - such a beautifully simple thing, we both now feel our track is probably too over orchestrated and would be better if we took some things out... I must've missed that ocean field recording; I would've been sorely tempted to use it myself!
2 Heraclitus's track - my son was really happy to hear his guitar playing! And I think the magpie was in one of my field recordings. Great title that seems to fit the music very well.
3. Mediocrisy - best title on the album, wish I'd thought of it myself! Heavy crushing tones indeed.
4. Idiopathic - we both love what you did to our samples - how did you do that? we sound like a drunken vibrato angelic version of My Bloody Valentine - we both love that part - if it wasn't too technically weird we'd love to know how you did that?
5 C.N. - the keyboard is lovely, so beautiful and eerie at the same time.
The mix of all the tracks was really good too - a great idea. Hopefully more ILFers can join in next time!
