    what’s up with these guys is this good stuff? I’m mostly into electronica.

    nah, just more same old max (algorithm-computer music program) sounds. generative bot "jams" if you will, so not much structure. no wonder they hand it out for free,,, else not many listen.

    Hey thanks for the help man, I was struggling over here with these NTS vinyls, trying to figure out why that sound kept coming out of my speakers, and you figured it out for me! It's not music, it's just data, that was the problem all along.

     

    Is there a converter or something you guys could recommend to turn this stuff into good music? Thx.

    Mental Union 1&2 are still some of my favorite tracks he's ever done. Except "Ska Train" - fuck the ska train.

     

    Also, PROJECT V.

    Yes. Love Mental Union...and Ska Train ?

    I would accept Ska Train if there was ever a relevant time and place for a track like that...

    ...but that train has LEFT THE STATION

  3. Got some email clarification today - 

     

    I, like many of us here, bid well enough to get the release via "award" but not enough to cover costs. And, others beyond myself have said we would pay GWC the difference between our bids and the actual release cost posted on the site right now. Where I was in the dark was - what exactly are we receiving via the "award"? 

     

    Today they wrote and said that I am free to donate anytime but the bidding process for Level 17 has ended. So I assume that means if/when I send in the difference to adequately compensate them for this set, it will simply be received as a donation and not taken as cost for a product. Fair enough. 

     

    They also clarified that "excepted" bids such as my own will be receiving the box set as described here: http://www.colundi.net/artifacts.php and that they will be in touch closer to ship date. 

     

    So that works, and quite generous of them to do it that way! I fully intend to send the difference over once payday comes around again, and from the sound of the set I don't think it will be lacking!

    Today's the day we find out about our bids.

     

    Exciting.

    Apparently mine was below average or below production costs, but they still award me with it? That's very kind of them to be honest, ty very much colundi crew :)

     

    (Would be really dubious if they would cancel it for that reason, why else implement a bidding system if you want a set price? I mean, I just made a random guess, I'd have no problem chipping in more).

    Same here, thanks colundi.
    Yep, also the same message here
    Just wondering, for those who didn't bid highly enough, it says we'll get the release. Does this mean the full package or a copy of the main album (digitally or whatever) and a partial refund? Seems an awful lot to give away if folk haven't covered the rrp.
    Maybe the costs will be partly covered by all the digital sales, I know I spent quite some money on those. It's a very, very generous deal this, so we shouId feel very lucky :)

     

    I'll also seriously consider a donation to cover more of the costs but that'll have to wait a bit until my wallet is ready for that again.

    Yeah, same here. If they send the lot I'll top up my payment.

    Same!

  5. Yes, same here as well. Wrote back asking for some clarification and offering to fill in the financial gap, but it's Colundi so... I have no idea what to expect.

     

    I don't think Aleksi or Grant are using email or even the internet to communicate with us anymore - it's all energy transference via cosmic ripples of mathematically pinpointed harmonic telepathy.

  6.  

    Yeah I hope I got in for {{{LEVEL 17}}}, put that shit on my credit card.

     

    Colundifingers crossed.

    Unless you've already "put that shit" on your credit card, you're not getting anything. Payments were to be made by last thursday, thought Grant was pretty clear on that...

    I sent cash in on day one. Thus, I put that shit on my credit card, in the past.

    Yule be able to download it with a card when it arrives in the mailbox, from what I understand.

     

    OH. DERP. Re-read your post there.

     

    What I meant by "new compilation" is the Yule release, not the Clone comps. The Yule release is 6 artists / 12 trax.

     

    So I sincerely doubt the Clone comp comes with the Yule download.

     

    BUT YULE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE

    Where did you find out there are six artists on the compilation?

    I read it in the site description when I ordered the thing. Looking now it seems to be amended to say "Yule artists collaboration", but if you listen to it, it's pretty obvious that the comp goes in sets of twos.

  9. I sincerely doubt tapes this collectible will stay unsold for long, esp. considering the rate at which EDM, Colundi etc releases have gone. Even if it's just scalpers looking to capitalize on the (very likely) event of these tapes going for three times the cost on Discogs...

     

    Sad but true! At least in those cases Dave will still make his money.
