Figured I’d start a thread for us to all start posting our entries in.
Here’s the Eddie Entropy track “New Tomorrow” on amazon http://www.amazon.com/New-Tomorrow/dp/B004HPMZC0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1293843527&sr=8-1
And you can listen to the whole darn thing here on soundcloud too. http://soundcloud.com/edentropy/new-tomorrow
Check it out, yo!
not bad Revok, the rant reminded me of both Johnny Mnemonic and Pslam 69 (song) at the same time.
That cover photo kicks ass.
Also, how did you make it cost $.89 instead of $.99? Mine’s overpriced.
Is there any way I can buy the track through paypal?
I can’t download tunes from amazon.com (don’t have an acceptable credit card billing address).
It’s a great song.
Thanks guys! Mick, pm me and I’ll hook you up.
@rev: I think I chose either the “special” or “catalog” price option from the list of amazon choices it gave me on tunecore. I figured those might be less than the usual.
I am not a member of Promonium Jesters, but you should all listen to this (full song streams for free):
We are still burning the midnight oil on our entry, simply titled “FIX”, recorded entirely in Alabama…
diet pills, cocaine, caffeine, nicotine, gasoline oh my!
I just did vocals and my keyboardist is mixing them in now…
I wish we had more time (we put this all together in 2 day marathon) but our song is good.
I’ll post it on myspace as soon as we’re done.
In the mean time, lyrics:
Fix
Fix
Give me the fix
It’s a chemical need
To create and to breath in
The air
The air
Yeah it makes me alive
And the substance abuses
My brain is on fire
Cocaine brain gasoline
Boil and stir in a cauldron of flame
And burn burn
The house is on fire
The children are screaming
Their genitals bleeding
Art is a con
Art is a can
(I wanna watch it all burn down, I wanna watch it all burn to the ground)
FIX!
I figured out how to upload songs to the newest version of Myspace, so you can listen for free there now. Posted some other new stuff too.
I like the music of The Cryptids very much. Nice mix of oldschool goth rock attitude and more industrial style programming.
Break me, fix me
Come ‘on, Baby, Mixxx me!
I got the con you got the job.
Eerie von Buttload high on the hog.
RevAmp, RamCo, any way ya wanna blow.
It’s a riot, it’s a riot, Captain Bigstick wants to try it.
Thunderstruck dumptruck.
Lookin’ like a pile of suck.

I’m way more efficient than Al, though. I’m actually writing the REMIX before even recording the album. Up yours, Jourgensen!!!

Wow, I appreciate that.
Wish I had your drive to do something with it, but eh. That’s life.
EDIT: I added one more song. And that’s all I’ve got in the can right now.

It’s tough man. I don’t know if “I’m doing something”. Definitely trying and at least playing live and getting it out there. I’ve been in a bit of a slump but I’m starting to come out and get back on my feet.
So The Cryptids is just you?
Don’t sell yourself short. I’m not always into your aesthetic, but I’m always impressed with your moxie.
And yes, it’s just me. I’ve done some remixes, which are floating around the net, and a couple of collaborations, which I recently removed from Myspace because I wanted to just have new stuff up there.
Contest update for those interested:
[i]Dear TuneCore Artists,
Due to an overwhelming response in the number of artist submissions for the Ministry contest, the winning artist will now be announced on January 31st. Paul Barker (Ministry producer, co-writer, engineer, and bass player) is listening to each and every track to carefully determine which one will score a place on the Ministry Movie companion album.
Sorry for the delay! [/i]
Interesting.
Our song was good but unfortunately I don’t think it has much of a chance.
We submitted late (Jan 2 at like 1am technically) because I misread the original thing to say “submissions are due Jan 2” rather than “Paul will review them Jan 2”.
I doubt that would disqualify us because they probably aren’t very organized and I bet a bunch of stuff slipped through the cracks.
However the track was mastered at a very low volume. We were in such a rush to get it up, we never realized that until a bit later.
Do you guys agree that a low volume master would pretty much disqualify us because it looks very unprofessional (and they’d have to remaster it to include it among other tracks)?
I always wondered how this would work regardless. When you have a soundtrack, the songs are mastered to roughly the same volume. But as contestants we were never given a track to match to. So someone must be matching all the volumes on the songs (even the ones by the pro artists that are gonna be on the soundtrack) at some point before it gets released…
Anyway the reason I haven’t posted our song “FIX” is that I need to re-mix it at a much higher volume. Except Pro Tools shat the bed on me. So that’s why the song isn’t up yet…Sorry for the delay!
I can see that being an issue - I’ve been on a couple of compilations, and my songs sounded weak compared to some of the others.
I doubt Paul would care when making his decision, though.
Someone made a soundcloud group for people to post their FIX entries. You can hear a whole bunch of em here http://soundcloud.com/groups/fix-the-ministry-movie
Listened to the first page of entries. Some of these really suck. Some of them are very good (loving the Teknosuicide powernoise one).
A lot of them are remix/covers, though.
I’m starting to wonder whether the cover/remix ones misunderstood the contest or those of us who did original songs misunderstood it.
