Re: if you had to
 

EDIT: split from the "if you had to" thread /stimpEE

The three RiverRun releases add up to ~84 minutes of music. What track(s) would you cut to fit it on one 80 minute CD? (not gonna try overburning). I'm interested in shuffling the tracks around for ultimate eclecticism, so no worries about keeping mixed transitions. What would you cut?

On my chopping block:
Flatz
Dub Shepherd
piano track at end of "sister" (11 hundred Hz?)

peggy sussed. what a waste of space.

Re: if you had to
 

I disagree, Peggy Sussed is cool and could really be sweet live. The stuff I've heard from the 2005 shows was good, but it could be wayyyy cooooler. I guess if I had to drop something I'd drop Monkey Wink. Good stuff, but is a bit too incomplete for my tastes.

Re: if you had to
 

I enjoy these little samples, and it'd be hard for me to justify chopping Flatz considering it's only 30 seconds. First tracks to go for me are Monkey Wink and Witness. That was easy -- I'm at 79'10, and if I need to drop one more it's Vanilla Monkey, bringing me to 74'42.

Re: if you had to
 

just burn it on 800mb/90min cd

Re: if you had to
 

I think Riverrun is longer than 84mins so far. Theres the music from the slideshow and theres the Japanese JAL to Tokyo EP and then theres the remixes and then theres the upcoming Misterons mix.

Re: if you had to
 

those don't count, but has anyone else noticed that Lovely Broken Thing is labelled as track 1, Pizza For Eggs is labelled as track 2, but Little Sister/Horse/Girl (whatever it is) is labelled as track 5?
:confused:

Re: if you had to
 

Yeah, it's discussed in the "I'm a Big Sister" thread

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

I would cut the annoying tracks. So... I'd cut a lot.
Hey, I love Underworld but these ain't my fave.

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

i'd cut the closers for all three.
maybe not for Big Sister, i'd cut whatever time i would need to from the intro there...

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

Hi.
Considering the nature of the Riverruns (in that they are heavily segued), why not mix the three. If they currently run at 84 mins, then you would have to overlay the end of LBT and the beginning of P4E by 2 mins, and the same for the end of P4E and the beginning of the other one to fit it all on a 80 min disc. Then the whole disc would flow through to the end as one piece going from hard to floaty.

Just a thought. Haven't tried it. Yet.

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

Yeah, this is a good idea...i'm not sure how well the tunes would mix, especially overlain that long, but it's definitely worth a try...

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

I too like this idea. Perhaps mixing the end of P4E and the beginning of Big Sister would be easier and sound better. Mixing Witness and Food a Ready might not do either song justice. Not knocking the first track of Big Sister, but I think mixing that with the end of P4E would flow much better.
Edit: Yeah, that didn't work as well as it did in my head. Plus my mixing skills are primitive, so that didn't help. I tried.

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

Its brilliant idea, great theory. Now we just must do it in real...;)

(Im calling you dj`s...):cool:

This could work!

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

bloody hell! i've got it! you combine the lyrics of "Witness" and the music of "Food A Ready".

Re: Fitting Riverrun on one cd
 

Yeah, i stuck 'em together last night...LBT->P4E->IABS... i had to cut the end of 11 Hundred Hz (the distorted part) to get it under 80 minutes.
"Witness" merged with "Food A Ready" doesn't sound great because the keys are different. But crossfading them helped make it less jarring. The transition from "Play Pig" into "Peach Tree" sounds cool, though.

i plan to force this on some friends as an introduction to the experimental side of UW.

Interesting since these are rr03, 04 and 05...wonder if they're supposed to be mixed as such (from loud to soft in style)? I also noted when making some artwork for my compilation that the coverart provided with the coded text goes from black (LBT) to dark grey (P4E) to grey (IABS). Neat from a graphic standpoint (i wonder if misterons mix will be light grey?;) )
