Name the Tribute to Antarctica - Semi Final Poll

[Brandi_B]

 

Here are the names I selected from the ideas thread. This is a semi final poll, with the top 2-3 going on to a final poll UNLESS there is a landslide of votes for one name.

 

The poll will run until voting slows down to a virtual stand still, but surely not for more than a week, so go ahead and get your vote in!

 

It's looking like the release of this compilation will be in mid/late September, or in October. It will depend on the mastering schedule & process mostly. Just a reminder for those doing tracks, the deadline is THIS Sunday August 23rd.

 

A big thanks to everyone that submitted a name idea!

every direction is north...

 

and have you seen the documentary "close encounters at the end of the world?"

[Brandi_B]

No i haven't, just watched the trailer, I think this should be a mandatory download for everyone! Looks epic *downloading now*...thx for the heads up.

 

 

.....awww....this clip from the doc just broke my heart :(

 

[karmakramer]

holy shit u must watch... in fact everyone should watch this here... movie of the decade for me

[Brandi_B]

b/c they are awesome looking :)

Latin sounds pretty IDM.

 

"Every Direction is North" is a bit long, you think?

 

And I was serious about Penguin Attack!

i figured you were...but it just reminded me too much of massive attack :/

 

also every direction is north is a bit long, but eh...there could be longer...anything is better than just "IDM Tribute to Antarctica" to me....we shall see where the voting takes us :)

 

ps - braintree have you ever seen that pic of a tree that looks like someones head? i think of it when i see your username...i have no idea how to find that pic online but perhaps you knwo what im talking about.

[Brandi_B]

 

thar it is...was just as simple as googling "head tree" :)

"Every Direction is North" is a bit long, you think?

 

Agreed. And it makes no sense

Polartronics ftw. Rolls off the tongue

[Brandi_B]

wat was that Fiona apple album name. i really liked the album. *googling*

 

Here it is, Fiona Apples full 2nd album title:

 

When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king

What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight

And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring

There's no body to batter when your mind is your might

So when you go solo, you hold your own hand

And remember that depth is the greatest of heights

And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land

And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right

 

edit: reminds me of letters to cleo:

 

 

The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky

but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the

here and now, here and now.

 

lol

yah there's quite a bit of "the only way is up" music related things out there

 

I liked it anyway

 

I googled all the finalists extensively...most of them had a good number of things already out there, that's not a huge issue tho.

 

I think there's a sunflower seed kernel stuck under my space bar :(

Polartronics is kinda lame.

 

Why the fuck are you guys complaining about the length of "every direction is north"? Are you not the same people that listen to records with titles like "Music is Rotted One Note" and "Surfing on Sine Waves"

 

And I hope you're joking about the "makes no sense" bit...suppose you're standing directly on the south pole.

 

Sorry, but i like the title which is more descriptive of the kind of music that will be on the album in one word than another which is extremely vague and a mouthful albeit more romantic.

 

If you're standing directly on the south pole every direction is just as much west and east as it is north.

[Brandi_B]

I will say that "Surfing on Sine Waves" is one of the coolest album names ever :) It is also an awesome album which makes it double win

i think 'tribute to antarctica' would be better.

[sneaksta303]

bunch 'o queers ye are...

[Guest mrcopyandpaste]

But...Every Direction Is North is the title of a El Ten Eleven track...

[perunamuusi]

you forgot the option 6 : none of the above

[sneaksta303]

lol. no shit.

Way to pick the most terrible, meaningless, soulless, IDM-cliché names.

[lumpenprol]

I liked one of mine, "Ice on the Rocks." Because it echoes "ice water with ice", and only the antarctic has rocks under the ice, unlike the north pole.

 

out of the current lot, definitely none of the above.

surely that would be shit like 'bapfhflonk_V2.7'? 'Polartronics' sounds like the name of a myspace-based netlabel.

 

'Every Direction is North' is blatantly the best.

[keltoi]

option 7 - ignore the above list and masterbate furiously

i think 'tribute to antarctica' would be better.
