I think it comes down to how defined a Vibes concept is - this one is pretty well defined, which narrows down the amount of people that will be willing to enter. when I did the classical Vibes I tried to keep it as open as possible - mainly because I personally would like it a lot more that way, as little restrictions as possible, more a nudge into the right direction, trusting in me as a music-maker to make something interesting out of it. it comes down to personal taste, ofcourse. |

true... when i saw "funk," i thought james brown, parliament, etc, but then the description of the style was not funk at all, but mildly funky downtempo instrumental hip hop stuff. indeed, the classical compilation succeeded admirably despite the fact that almost none of the tracks were classical, strictly speaking. i don't mean to be negative, and i'm looking forward to hearing the results, i just seemed to note a lack of momentum in this particular vibes... i'm sure you've got at least one friendly downtempo track in you qrter... |

Well, I see what you're saying, but as we're on an electronic music board I'd say it was fairly obvious that I'm not going to ask for people to go out, rent a studio, find a singer and produce a James Brown-esque funk track but am, in fact, asking for downtempo funky electronic music. And the term "funk" is used to describe a certain "feeling" in all kinds of genres nowadays. You're right, there has been a lack of momentum on this vibes..... but it's not THAT bad. I've got quite a lot of tracks now. Just a few more and I should be able to finish it. I think the reason that there hasn't been more interest is that the majority of people on this board just don't make this particular type of music. It's not really very "IDM", which is I suppose what most people make. That's partly the reason I chose to do it - I thought it would make an interesting diversion from the norm and show the breadth of talent present on here. Anyway, all is not lost. I have a lot of good tracks now. If I could just get a few more, I'll be very happy. |

none of what i said was meant as criticism, i'm well aware of the use of the word "funk." i'm just saying what immediately came to mind when i first saw "funk" vibes. you're right in that this vibes represents a style that is not as popular as some others around xltronic. i wasn't announcing the death knell of this vibes, just making an observation... i'm still looking forward to hearing it. |

Just for conversation sake, i think that this could have been done with any style given the fact that people could have done some sampling and cut ups of various funk material and added their own distinct style. Either way i look forward to see how this one turns out! |

I know, I know. I was just being deliberately over-sensitive. |

On Friday night I DJ'ed in Vilnius and played quite a lot of the tracks people have contributed to this....... it was fun! Anyone who still has a track to finish, please hurry up and submit it within the next 7 days..... I'm looking to finish this off very soon. |

xltronic vibes 14 is now available from the thanks to manicminer and all the contributors for making this possible! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent! I'll be downloading this tomorrow. thanks to manic for including my track and putting it all together |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wouldn't it have been a good idea to ask the unknowns which track they made? why not give people credit for the track they submitted? my track had my name in the filename, as well... |
||||||||
|

|
|
use this thread to notify manicminer which authors are missing. he lost a few emails from people so he failed to track them down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you just unpin this thread? cool! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has now become one of The Great Unpinned Threads of Xltronirc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great! congratulations, everybody. i'll dl this straight away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wikkid, i had assumed the was to go unfinished. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i have to admit i was a bit skeptical about this vibes because of the style. but i am pleasantly surprised. a lot of the tracks are really quite good. i'm impressed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only noticed this thread when it came unpinned. I always assume pinned threads are weather related, disclaim responsibility for lost and stolen items etc. |

Vibes 14: Sorry for the huge delay - I've had a lot going on in recent months.... It hasn't ended up being *that* funky, but the quality of most of the music I received was, frankly, fantastic. I hope people will enjoy listening to the finished mix as much as I enjoyed listening to the individual tracks (some of which I've even been playing live when DJing in Vilnius). It's shorter than a lot of Vibes, but that's sort of how I expected it to be, what with the tempo restrictions and everything and the fact that I'm not a very well-known or popular XLT "personality". Plus, I don't think a concise vibes is necessarily a bad thing. Thanks to Phobia for his patience and encouragement, and to all who contributed. If you like my Vibes, then obviously you should download the other 13 XLtronic Vibes too. If you already have them, you might like to check out my site More mixes and opportunities to contribute. |
