Do covers of jazz standards. Seriously. I did that when I busked in Savannah last Spring, people thought it was cool.
This. Jazz guys are usually pretty receptive to different forms of music.

facundo, you are SUCH a jerk!
Facundo, I think you are great.
Both can wield incredible results depending on what you're going for. Sometimes diving into stuff like this without any advice can be a catalyst for creativity. :0)
I always make my albums as one gigantic wave file, and use a program called CD Wave to split the tracks.
Dwerty, really, this is incredible stuff. Have you considered a career in the mixing industry, perchance?
Farewell dude. Now that you're "free" so to speak, I challenge you to create an album comprised entirely of armpit farts.
Rip on me dude, RIP ON ME.
I'm 99% confident both of you were joking. That said, this seems pretty rad. Not very chippy as someone pointed out, but definitely worth a download.
yes, yes they can. i think some dude named floyd did some?
'twas something different for us for an mp3 release..darker mood and all.
I hope you're joking.

I'm just getting started, more or less, hence the unfamiliar name and stuff. I should have an EP out around Feb. It's shaping up like jay tholen EP, but angry. and less impressive musically. that dude's got some chops. mad respect for him.
Thanks. My track isnt at all what I'm doing right now, but I think it turned out pretty good.
And Jay Tholen rules hard, good luck with making the EP!
:3
i guess there'll be a specific team for looking in that subforum x3 i know how zat place works by now
they'll be unreasonably biased against electronic music, since there it's just a term that means "sounds like klaus schulze/actually features klaus schulze"... so I'm glad you mentioned a few influences, heh
Progarchives is like 60% ELP and Yes fans, 35% Dream Theater and Symphony X fans, and 5% guys who would actually listen to anything new. Kind of a frustrating environment.
Anyway, Preschtale is already album of the year 2012 so I'm not even going to try.
They seriously need a category for 'Best Song Titles' because you'd win every time.
I think netlabels can be great tools for artists, so long as they have an unwavering vision or plan. The two labels I'm involved with (Ubiktune and Pause) are both very good in this arena, which is why I think people keep coming back to them. You generally know what you're getting when dealing with them. Ubiktune is especially noteworthy in the fact that they really push everything they put out. I've had reviews from russian websites pop up weeks after a release. Good stuff.
The two main problems I see with netlabels are this:
1) Labels are sometimes too 'nice' and accept material with little concern for quality or content. It may seem elitist, but I think a lot of chip labels could benefit from being more selective with the artists/works they promote.
2) There is no defined style or sound to distinguish the label. A label needs something identifiable that people can latch on to; even if it's just a broad or abstract concept.
