08 Album Names & Art - 2008/05/21 18:13I recall I had very little to do with this discussion last year other then be the mule. So, Let me start it again this year, it seems to have a life of it's own. The art director this year is Joshua Wentz -- visual ideas or volunteers to him. I'm handing my visual mule duties off to him (Thanks, Josh!)
Here's the unused names from last year. New ones accepted, old ones discussed. Let's get some ideas going here so the art guys can get creative. Post your thoughts -- it was pretty obvious last year which one's people liked.
Album 1 - Americana / Roots / Country Voices on the Wind From Far in the Fields Brick and Ivy Roots Run Deep Roadhouse Rhythms Radio Out
Album 2 - Alt / Indie / Pop Fuzz Pop Kick It Into Touch Lies Are Fun
Album 3 - Atmospheric The Color of Sound Astral Ether Cumulus Headspace Dream State Stratosphere Midnight Skies Songs of the Stars Celestial Harmony Floating High Blissed Out In Babylon Lull Ascent
Album 4 - Tribal / Meditation / World Turning Within The Mind's Eye Reflections of Awareness Our Thoughts Become Us Perception Is Not Reality Soul Plankton Submerge Glacial Tatami Spontaneous Satori Raptures in Azure The Structure of Reality Mellow Mondays Lake of Dreams Eyes Shut Suit Off
Album 5 - Electronic / Synthesis Primordial Motion Digital Lattice Aural Projections Hydroelectric Process New Mutation Digital Soul Machines of Grace and Beauty Bit By Bit Braindancing Zero State The Zero Point
Album 6 - Blues / Jazz Traveling Miles to Go Home Five Miles Uphill Whisky, Cigarettes, and Gumbo Late + Great Rhythms In Blue Cool Blue Gimme That Uptown Lowdown Ridin' In On a Blind Pig One Too Many Blue Mondays The Midnight Messenger Gold Farthing
Album 7 - Rock & Roll The Last Refuge of Scoundrels - FINAL!
Album 8 - Other Other Don't Fence Me In Brain Food

While the classical étude is a musical study piece, composed with the intent of practicing a specific technical skill (of an instrument), maybe the "Alt Etude" songs could be said to serve the purpose of honing the artists' album making skills?

Re:08 Album Names & Art - 2008/06/18 16:42I wish I could contribute something more helpful than calling #5 "Sine of the Times"
(edited) Okay: "Ex Machina"

Re:08 Album Names & Art - 2008/06/19 23:00Whenever I am down in NYC I always go to my favorite record store in the east village called "Other Music"
so my vote for disc 8 is going to have to go along with ACL and "OTHER".

Re:08 Album Names & Art - 2008/06/27 21:27Are we voting on disks titles or are we still taking suggestions? Checked the suggestions for each category and the titles all sound great to me. Just checking.

Re:08 Album Names & Art - 2008/07/14 22:19We're going to be making disks next month but we still need names.
Time to figure this out or I can just do it myself. Up to you all. (That's not Texas y'a'll the three syllable form is only used at the beginning of a sentence as in "Y'a'll pick the names for these here disks".)

Re:08 Album Names & Art - 2008/08/19 22:48These are coming along quite well... I'll have all covers done by the end of the night, but I thought I'd show you the first three I've completed. Of course, there's still much to do for the rest of the packaging. Once I have definitive track lists and such I'll be able to compose the rest of the panels.
A bit about the process: My girlfriend and I basically did some artistic improv the other night. I got out all of the media I had in the house, and a bunch of cardboard panels. I printed the list of album titles, and asked her to pick a number. Then for 30 minutes, we each created a piece of art based on the title. After that, I photographed all of the pieces in macro and used the photos to create the album artwork.
So, here's where it's going, more to come.

One note: One of Last year's CDs had "Blue on Blue" writing for the song titles, so it was hard to read. I can't find the one I am talking about -- they must be in the car!
