That's funny, because I myself am on the edge of the seat waiting to hear it..!

Some small news and updates:

Now that the scrapbook idea is finished, my main project is once again the HDAS album. Which is cool!

1) Terraformer has finally given me an MP3 of his contribution. It is 5 minutes of extremely cool riffs and layers. An epic instrumental song very much influenced by Mr T (Thats Townsend, not that other dude).

2) I also finished one of the tracks that I will contribute. It is an 'ambient' sort of thing and seems to work really well as an intro to the Terraformer song.

3) Created a new slightly scary/silly intro that is much more sensible and effective than the previous one.

Things left for me to do:

1) Create/sample yet more ambience that is required for an interlude before Armheadmcgee's Canada cover on the marimba. It doesnt sound right going straight from metal to marimba. This will smooth things over somewhat.

2) Yanko, how is your re-recording going?

3) Finalise the track listings and credits.

4) Thats about it! Burn it to CD....!

Getting close. Cant wait for you guys to hear this.

screw the university, i'm starting to work on it ASAP

The 'core' artists already set to appear on this disc are:

Danra
TeamJonny
Terraformer
Armheadmcgee
Olive? (and his band Atomic Ants)
Greg Reason
Earworm
Blazingmonga (what a freak!)
Mo (and his band Way Of The Extreme)
Strapping Young Lad (possibly with his band Indignation)

What do you all think of this then?

Anybody interested in getting a copy when it is complete?

Cheers!

I think this is great Dave! Nice one brother.

Speaking of Indignation, where the hell is Chris? I haven't seen him since last year.

Thanks dude...sounds really good! So much smoother all round. Seems almost like many subtlties were lost in your previous mix. This is a huge improvement!

If the rest is like this it will be really good.

Thanks!

And I havent been able to communicate with Chris since he originally agreed to this. He emailed me once or twice and seemed very keen...but after that he hasnt responded to any of my pestering in any way at all.

Sadly I have had no choice but to leave him off this project. I hope he is ok anyway!

Huzzah! I'm pretty damn excited for this. By the way, nice nod to South Park.

Yeah, roll on...this! Nice work Blazing...

Haha, glad you liked it. I was going to call that track simply "Blame" as it goes before "Canada"....Blame Canada! All this is ultimately their fault.

HDAS mostly almost nearly final track listing:

4) October - Earworm/Silent Safari

It's so cool it's almost done i can't wait to hear the other songs on the cd. As far as the credits to the songs go for the "october" song could you just put by "suicide safari" because i wrote it with my friend, he'd probably get mad at me and start cryin and all if it said "october - earworm/suicide safari", .

i was talking to monga about setting up a small page for the artists and song profiles, with more info on how they were made, who made them, stuff like that

what do you all think?

sounds good to mee....

So where/how/when can I listen to them?
