Root5 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Link: https://cytoplantastic.bandcamp.com/album/a-very-watmm-christmas-2014 Tracklist: 1. Enrico Martini and His Orchestra - Groovesleeves 2. Swegüno - Ave Maria (Transreferential Imago) 3. Jubal - You Betta Watch Out 4. Perezvon - La Boîte à jouets 5.

Mall Santa - Smoke Break This year's Christmas album is here, and it's great. This is a free album, by and for the WATMM community. So please, don't worry about donating anything. Thanks to all the artists, and to ga'arg for the excellent cover art. Also to Zephyr for the amazing mastering, and the quick turn around. Normally CHATMM does a Halloween album and Cytoplantastic does a Christmas album. Next year we'll be swapping. So if you come up with some Christmas music, talk to Friendly Foil, and if you come up with Halloween music, talk to me! The next album I'll be organizing is the next MOST IDM tournament. We'll be doing the bracketology in March, as usual, so save your submissions till then. I also want to give some love to Goiter's Boss Battles compilation. The deadline for that is Jan 15. The thread is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sorry if you don't like the mastering! My personal opinion is the the mastering suits the album well, brings the various styles together, and makes the tracks match previous Christmas albums well. But I've also had the experience of handing one of my tracks to someone else, and not liking what was done with it. Maybe you could post the original as well? PS: Yes I'm totally aware that this "label" is a joke. It's kind of supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verdant Hickies Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Has been on repeat since release, I couldn't sleep more than 40 minutes last night because I always had to get back up again and replay it. Thanks to whoever did the mastering though, I think my track heavily benefited from it. Good job everybody and Merry Christmas. ...One thing though, who does the potential money go to? I personally think it should be free for all, obligatorily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Has been on repeat since release, I couldn't sleep more than 40 minutes last night because I always had to get back up again and replay it. Thanks to whoever did the mastering though, I think my track heavily benefited from it. Good job everybody and Merry Christmas. ...One thing though, who does the potential money go to? I personally think it should be free for all, obligatorily. Yes, the album should be free!!! If you do to donate money, it goes to me, which is kind of messed up because I didn't do much. I've done mastering on only one of the albums, and I've only written two tracks on the whole site. The part I do, the organizing, I don't really do that well (notice how late this album came out). For the MOST IDM albums it's actually a significant amount of work dealing with the hundreds and hundreds of topics, but for the Christmas album it's as easy as making a thread and listening to music and judging how late to extend the thing. So please, don't donate anything!! The reason I have donations enabled, is that there's a limited number of free downloads per month. I think it's like 200. This limit hasn't been exceeded, but if it is, free downloads cannot be downloaded at all. I want the music to be always available, and I don't want to go fiddling with the settings if the limit's exceeded. Occasionally I get the odd donation. I assume it's usually by non-watmmers, since I always ask very clearly not to receive donations. But certainly one or two watmmers have donated 5 bucks or whatever. The donations average about 15 dollars per album, so it isn't really worth distributing that between the artists in the album. I just use that money to keep my WATMM membership up to date, and do nothing with the rest. Ih theory I could donate the rest to watmm. Really what I should do is donate a sizeable chunk of it to Zephyr, because he busts his balls mastering all these tracks. And just to be absolutely clear: I will never monotize this music. All of it is attribution creative commons, and all of it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
