A New Order Online Tribute to NO/JD

Just an idea....

great idea! "the NOOL tribute band" :D we could make a compilation and then edit it. don´t know the "legal" terms though. but if we could, we should do it. I´m in!

even more. maybe we could make all NOOLers voting for the songs that should be part of it. we upload somewhere all the songs that could be a part of the tribute (20, 30 or whatever) and then we do a poll and pick 13 or 14. it´s just an idea but i think it could work well.

exactly what I was thinking about doing. We can also vote on what we will call the album. I'm going to talk to some of my local record label friends about thism and check what we have to do legally to do this,

I'm for it :D

Biggest part is, getting the songs...

We can do our own in-house CD, just not selling it for profit SHOULD technically be ok with London..

Then it's a matter of:

• Mastering (to have the same sound level)
• Desigining
• Distributing

This can actually be fun, who knows, maybe an indie label would get interested. (Yeah right)

The only "problem" I can see here is that there is already a tribute to New Order containing 2 NOOL member songs (François-Marc Loze's project), I don't know the status on the tribute, but I sure don't want to compromise their project ;)

A printed CDR with everything would be cool, and this is not really expensive.. we can do a contest to ask people to submit their songs and everything.

Might be interested, but I'd like to know what Mr Shug and Mr Benny think about this... too foolish?

exciting, isn´t it? about the two fellas that made the tribute we could ask them to do another song specially for "our" tribute. that way they won´t be upset and could collaborate too. it´s all about start receiving songs, and that could start right away. we could put a limit date for sending files and then all NOOLers could vote for the 15 or 17 that would fit in the CDR. about the design. i say the webmasters do it in order to keep NOOL indentity. after all NOOL is the nucleus of the project. so, what do you say? green flag?

My best friend in Ohio has a professional sound studio, I could possibly ask him for help. I can alway help with the design. I also agree we should make the design of the CD identifible to this site in some way. So what should we do to kick this off? I guess we should determine which musicians are going to appear on the CD! Looks like we have a few people already. I guess anyone interested in contributing a song should say so now in this thread.

We could possibly use the winners of the survivor games as the song selections. :)

You know, while listening to Almanso's songs, I realize how good an unplugged New Order album might be.

Might be the way the tribute should go... unplugged!

i think there´re many new order songs that could be played unplugged. but i really had a difficult time choosing a JD song for that purpose! but with imagination and talent i think some NOOLer will be capable to do it. but it´s a good idea. you know more of tributes than me but i don´t think anyone did an unplugged tribute before. that´s the first thing we have to do. decide if we do it unplugged, electronic, rocker or just free to choose. what do you think? we do our first poll about it?

makes sense to me. but I think an unplugged abulm is a really good idea. There are too many electronic style tributes. so this would be different.

Originally posted by The Killer Inside Me brilliant idea...just wish I could contribute...do you need a backup hummer???

Well, you can try to sell those at the store you work for

Well Tim, the idea of accoustic was just an idea, of course it's not the way to go, unless everyone could do it. I was just telling how good an unplugged album would sound, although I'm not sure I could handle them (Regret or Crystal unplugged.. what would Hooky do?! can he play something else than bass? ;) )

well, should we start sending songs?

1. we´ll need web space for that in order to keep all the songs together in one web page. any volunteers for that?

2. then we need a limit like june 21th or something. i think 2 months is more than enough to prepare, record and send the songs. that way the project won´t loose its original power. during these 2 months we could decide without rush if we do it commercially or not, who would design it, how many songs would be on the CD, how should NOOLers vote for the winners, etc.

3. i think the tribute should be free-to-choose-styles. the best results would be with stylistic freedom. and everyone could be envolved so that´s fair for everyone.

well, we need to discuss the terms and start as soon as we can with the project!

Maybe we first have to organize a little "commitee" to come up with the terms for this project. We'll post the term on NOOL in a poll to see if everyone here is happy with them. Of were not making laws or anything, so the term can be flexible.

So far we have 2 people who already claimed the songs: CTB- elegia Ben- World

Almanso- you never said which one your going to do, but I hope you'll submit your Ceremony.

I'll be happy to provide the webspace your all of you to upload your MP3. I'll set up a public folder on my IDISK. and create a page where you can instantly see your upload and everyone else can download. Just so I can manage the space. I would probably need you all to email me when your uploading and the files size.

After all the submission are in at the determined deadline date. we can hold some poll for all of us to vote which ones we want to appear on the CD.

I would be happy to design the CD, but i guess to be democratic about this project. We can hold a contest for the CD design. and hold a poll for the NOOL to vote on the design.

The committee will organized the production, distribution, mastering, and research the laws for this project.

Ok what do you think?

We have the drive space, of course... this problem was solved with the new host.

ok, let´s start then. let´s form the commitee. let the project begin :D

Originally posted by Benny's Cobweb Eyes I'll do Love Vigilantes on acoustic guitar and melodica, but may struggle do get it sorted before June 21st, seeing as I will be on honeymoon most of the time before then !

june 21st was just an idea because of the change of season and that. but we may change it. no problem at all. what i wanted to say is that the project better be finished sooner than later because these things usually starts with a lot of energy and then the interest begins to decrease. besides, a limit date makes you start to work as soon as possible. other way people use to sleep because "there´s still time to do it". trust me, my experience says it´s better with a finish line. and that could be any date in time that not exceeds 4 months from now. other way the project will have no end because everyone will forget about its existence.

Maybe we should give people most of the summer to work on their songs, I know some people that would like to participate but they are in college and needs to focus on that at the moment.

But I do think we need some deadline. Maybe the first one should a deadline for all who want to participate to reply to this project. Want to say a week from today? April 23. Partcipants just need to say they want to do a cover and tell us what song they intend to cover.

Nic, could be advertise this on the front page?

Well, send me what you want on the front and I'll put it.

You can even do a little montage pic if you want...

Will do it tomorrow, now I'm sleepy!! and tomorrow is election day here, so lots of stuff to do!

I dunno what going on.. I can't post for some reason

What I was trying to say, just in case you didn't see it on the front page. Nic created a forum dedicated to this Tribute project.

for those that don´t visit the front page here´s the special forum for the tribute. there you´ll find all you need to know about it: how to be part of it, the rules, the deadlines, how to choose your favourite songs, how to choose the name of the tribute, and more. follow this link http://www.neworderonline.com/threads.asp?forum_id=10

Originally posted by iankuramacurtis I am not a musician...wat can I do for this tribute?

say what you do best and offer your services. we´ll need designers for sleeves, CD and the flash file with winners info. if you´re a writer you could write some "tribute" lines. if you´re a singer only you could contact a musician only member to work together and viceversa. just offer the things you´re good at and participate.
