I'm planning on releasing four albums soon - i recently got a burst of confidence when i learned that a local online music mag dug my stuff and that they were putting up reviews, and asked ME for an interview. I figured i would takes od_step's advice, and just keep making music until it's impossible for people to ignore me - i mean, where would Wesley Willis be if he gave up? Anyways.... The first is my fourth album, Sleeping With Razorblades, 20 tracks, leaning towards uptempo glitch, breakbeats and analog melody. Many of you have heard quite a bit of it. The second is a re-issue of my first album, Welcome to Gusland, which was originally 12 tracks, but is now 15 - four tracks were added, one subtracted. More triphop jungle analog melody with a tad bit of garage and hardcore. The third is under a psuedonym - Zio Magus, a 30 track album called Music for Horrors. It's a collection of dark ambient, noise and experimental works i originally wrote for a friend to use in his films, but they were never utilized - strangely, they became a unique album. The last is an 8-track EP under the name of Cowboy Sugarcakes called "Can't Get Enough of that Sugary Sound!" It is jazzpolkabluesnoise brand, fortified with bass, brass, swing and other essential oddio nutrients. Anyways, that's what I'm up to. If you like it, fine, if you don't, that's fine too. =D More info here: So, how are all of you today? |

no offense but why not just pick the best tracks between the 4 of them and release just one really solid 50 minute album. a lot of electronic albums have that kind of variety packed in and are masterpieces.. you don't really need to release them all seperately and i bet by releasing only the best tracks your reputation will be the better for it and it'll inspire you to keep at that same level of skill and creativity |

That's a great idea. I wish I had that much material to choose from :( |
||||||||
|

i side with titsworth on this i only have certain songs for certain albums. And i wouldn't want to release all of them in one go. |
||||||||
|

This is good news! |

I donno. I haven't heard any of it, but an album and a collection of songs are two totally different things. If a bunch of songs work together, but don't work with others, then they deserve to stay together. Although having to collect more than one or two disks can be a pain, it usually is more fitting to the music. |

cowboy sugarcakes = best side project EVAR. |

you mean The Phvkkage, son. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've heard phvkkage - good stuff. corticalstim, dj xammax and ambsace - thanks for kind words! titsworth, murray and taxidermist - i thought about this as well - but the fact is, i had about 300 tracks total to choose from, and some i just couldn't see together on the same album. (in short i agree with taxidermist) and by the way, one of the albums IS just a re-issue - not new stuff, just my old stuff made a bit cheaper and more available. as for ziomagus, i had about 80 tracks to choose from - those 30 ARE the best. |

skink - thank you too. =D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well i sent them out today - all the art and track arrangement is done. just have to wait on the boss now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
release a fifth, best of, album :D and a b-sides, unreleased, and stuff, album, without dying first |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but i've only been releasing music for a year now - if i ever have a *chuckle* "greatest hits" album, i'll probably wait at least 8 years to put it out. i can call it "music i really liked but few others did." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am gonna buy an album of you in the near future i hate best of anyway, think its only done by the company's, most artists dont want it anyway, i think, aerosmith must have put out at least as much best ofs as regular albums, thats so sad for them |
||||||||

|
|
i'm with you titsworth on this one,quality over quantity - see venetian snares - he's got one or two incredible albums in all the stuff he's released but his releases are so numerous it kinda puts you off him .. just pick the best tracks and release them - or ask your mates to pick their favorites |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks - all my full-length albums are 6 bucks ($US), and i'm probably going to sell the ep for 3 ($US). anyways to what i have out now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i appreciate you opinion, but i just don't see the tracks going well together on the same release. some of them were written specifically for a sideproject. i'm sticking with my plan regardless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but you might not be the best judge if you don't mind me saying - you made the stuff and have a special attachment to it etc - you shoud let someone you trust decide or a few people to try and ge tthe best out of you . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll keep that in mind in the future. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i understand how some tracks should belong on one album, just do one concept album with commercial songs or something and get everyone to buy that one first, than the rest. what are the two great venetian snares than? |
||||||||
|
