It figures that I'd name a song "many versions" and then end up considering it done on the first version. This one is a pretty straightforward hip-hop track.
A slow industrial track with heavy distortion. PS. Apologies to feed subscribers who may have gotten this track more than once. Feedburner was showing the wrong mime-type and my OCD would not allow me to leave it like that.
Samples: Cuts from random old documentaries found at The Smoking Gun.
This was a little snippet I had converted to mp3 and sent to a friend before the hard drive crash torched all. At any rate I'm rebuilding the track from an earlier save but it won't turn out the same.
A slow thick one. Due to a case of paralysis-by-analysis I wound up with 3 nearly identical mixes. At any rate I've messed with it for long enough so here it is.
Samples: CC Asia Band and Nadeya (Yup, I've been hitting ccMixter for vocals again).
Electronic track. Some paranoid snippets from American television. A lot of synth scratching that sounds almost vocal at times, like detuned moaning. Kept it simple other than that.
Reasonably hard, fast and chaotic techno-industrial track with a bunch of little chunks of words from old documentaries, big pads and crazy beat changes. Amplitude modulation everywhere.
Samples: Thriller, Old Documentaries, Noam Chomsky
This version is all scratched up.
Harder all around but still breaks into a nice fat swelling. I have half a mind to delete the older versions. Features the same twisted ramblings.
Basically the same as the last version but with more going on scratch-wise.
Smooth hip-hop-ish beat groves on for a while. Features various twisted existential ramblings.
A copy is just an identical image...
Hip hop track with off-center beats, some scratches and all that.
"You will do what I tell you to do"
Sub-bass may be too low for some speakers.
(extra credit if you can feel it)
NIN was offering up their protools sessions for general remixing so I grabbed them and messed around with them for fun. I didn't mangle it beyond recognition because if I did that I may as well have called it my own song. This was the result.
Grooving laid-back beat and rhythm-heavy track.
Seems kind of old-fashioned 'til it all breaks down.
"...until someone turns out the lights on this small planet."
After a long intro a rather massive and hard track that's probably almost industrial. Mean synths and a slow big beat. Why start low? The top is much nicer.
Swelling distorted synths with delayed beats add up to rather industrial track. Now that I'm listening to this I should probably go back and tidy up some of this older stuff.
This track was the beginnig of a period where I tried to rock it with guitar sounds. I've got a ton of tracks like this in the late 300's. The first one is probably the best. Funny how that works.
This was probably the first song that anyone claimed to like at all. Did alright at mp3.com back in the day at any rate. Features a kind of distorted, wah effect on my bass that I plugged into my computer with a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter (RadioShack style).
