Chorus.fm Member Compilations - HALLOWEEN COMPILATION (Out now!) • Page 56

Someone oughta tackle New Halloween from the new Touche Amore record

 

Nope. Hopeless Records. Drive-Thru as well, but Hopeless more.

 

How far away are we from the comp being posted?

 

Since it still isn't midnight EST, I wouldn't expect it for a while... although, participation seems pretty low and I can't speak for Brad... it's ultimately up to him.

 

do you have a cover for the comp?

 

I do

Assuming you mean album artwork

 

I'll post it after I record mine when I get home in a little bit! Haha :)

 

I assume you're talking to @InfiniteArms . He did Antichrist. You can see that on page 1, where Brad keeps an up to date list of songs that have been selected.

 

You lazy fuck.

j/k... I rushed my second one out so I could spend the afternoon with my wife on our shared day off. I felt really bad working for 3-4 hours on this song on the only day we have off together.

 

oh I meant like artwork, sorry lol

 

brad can u tell me if my cover sounds weird, I keep thinking it sounds weird but I don't know why lol

 

lol. I get you now. So funny how one word can throw all that context off!

 

Yeah I haven't been home since Friday so I've been dying to record. Haha. My song won't take long at all though.

 

Define weird because to me it sounds lovely.

 

It just feels strange to me, I can't put my finger on it... guess it's fine

@bertbro WOW

 

Fuck, everyone did such a good job here.

 

@Things So Impossible you have a very interesting voice, do you have music elsewhere?
@thesoftskeleton you came very close to recreating the original track which is impressive because that's a whacky track haha I'm impressed!

 

lmao god damn welcome back @bertbro

 

Looking forward to checking this out!

Haha, I've actually done it and got it ready too!

 

I really feel like this tribute album took all of us out of our usual realm, and made us venture into unknown territory, but we'll all be better for it, and perhaps more daring in the future.

@bradsonemanband - Our fearless leader takes on an enterlude, and provides the ample, unrivalled tone for the compilaton. Good job, Brad!

@bertbro - Brad will probably have a stat that tells him how many streams all the songs have had, he'll see probably like 30 next your name, all mine. Without putting down any of the other covers, because everyone did such a great job, yours is easily my favourite on the compilation, probably due to your absence from previous ones, and also the cleanliness and professional sounding production and direction your version has.

@elemenohpe - The garagey raw sound suits the lyrics perfectly and the way you execute the vocals, and lyrical timing, fits in perfectly. You have always been a great contributor to these compilations.

@angel paste - Is this your first time on the comp? Because I'd like you to return please. Your cover was lovely, I want more, please. The minimalist approach to it embodies the whole "less is more" concept perfectly.

Now for my cover, I did so many versions of this, and this one was the one that made me go "yeah. This is how I want it" it's not exactly perfect and the ending still bugs me, because the timing of this changes throughout the song, especially towards the ending.

@thesoftskeleton - I don't know how you did it, but yeah. Amazing. Your vocals are so pretty.

@elemenohpe - I said when you chose this song that the original sent chills down my spine the first time I heard it, and yours does a similar thing, but for different reasons, and it's a great interpretation of an already great song.

@Things So Impossible - I won't mince my words here, you took the song I wanted to do. But I'm glad you're the one who took it. Not because someone else wouldn't have done a good job, but I wouldn't have been able to do a job better than yours. As angel paste pointed out, your vocals are unique, but that makes your version so much more interesting.

 

Fantastic job everyone. @angel paste holy shit you're incredible. I love how you toe the line with delivery, tone and tuning so it's all slightly off-kilter and resides in the minor but never unsettling, in fact it's the opposite, it's truly captivating and unpredictable.

@thesoftskeleton Always delivering for me, hearing you sing "Sainsbury's" is surreal and awesome haha.
