Emo Revival Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I don't wish poorly on the guy either but to think that apple would just let you sell what are essentially repressings of the entire white album, however unrecognizable it may be.... If this guy was selling even a half second snippet of the white album they'd be on his ass. This is like, all 90 minutes of it. Times 100. I like this and the whole concept and I think it's cool, I wish I could've seen the installation. I'm just failing to see where this is okay from a legal standpoint. I think this is covered under fair use, but not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfiend Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wonder if these are already pressed and ready to ship. Was wondering this also. I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 800 seems like a pretty high number, I'm betting there's probably more like 500. Even that seems high but that seems to be the point where the cost usually breaks even and is no longer prohibitive, considering the deluxe nature of all the packaging, inserts, 2 LPs, etc. For all we know there is only 100 keeping in with the 100x White Album theme. Maybe someone will ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I remember reading about this earlier this year(?). They had a soundcloud with this version of the album. It was pretty cool. A unique take on the album. I picked one up. It's a cool project. Album art is rad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The shit drone is probably referring to the doom metal and post rock stuff that is popular around these parts. I could be wrong though. What does it matter, drone music of any kind is shit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Drone done right is some seriously good stuff. eskimosnow27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just busting your chops here, but that could be said about any genre of music. I can dig what you mean...I am very loose with my standards though, so shit to some may be amazing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 That's the beauty of music and its subjectivity, to be sure. I'm just especially interested in hearing some drone comparisons since it's never really discussed on the boards. Now, if we were comparing pop-punk and post-hardcore bands...

kamalatapes Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 How the hell did he get his hands on 800 first pressings, the more I listen, the more good sounds jump out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 How the hell did he get his hands on 800 first pressings, the more I listen, the more good sounds jump out He made a neon sign. You can get anything if you get a neon sign made. I actually like this version of the album and I am not a Beatles fan. It will be interesting to spin this.

noalarmplanet Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm curious, What makes this art? I mean I guess anything is technically art and I'm all for creative expression, but isn't this the kind of stupid shit people make fun of artists for?

I am no expert, but maybe it isn't "art" so much as it is a documentation of something with historical and personal significance or something. I don't think I will buy this, but I think it is a cool project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess anything is technically art and I'm all for creative expression, but isn't this the kind of stupid shit people make fun of artists for? Everyone has a different definition. In my opinion, art is passionate creation, and I would say that this falls under that category. This guy seemed to have fun making this. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why the drone/ambient hate here? Not everything can be pop-punk and post-hardcore. No one's hating on the genres. Mr. Sasan just seems to think that the boards listen to shitty drone and ambient, as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 listened to the a-side of this today and i really liked how it just seems glacial in the way it starts on the same keel and then slowly drifts into static and white noise and peaks. i'm thinking of grabbing a copy.
