A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.....wtf??! star wars is supposed to be modern and yet it says "a long time ago??!" Is George Lucas a comedian or a film director??!!
So, after my hour-long stay at jebat's i realized i wasn't happy with the balance of volumes in tracks "the cheater", "5 batai" and "keep ur hands off my butt". The voice was too soft, drowned by the guitars and other sounds. So, i spent another couple of hours balancing those again and again...and again ! dammit! But those hours were worthwhile cos im really happy with the finished product. I listened to every detail till i was happy and gay like wendy. That's practically the summary of my job in this project...listen to it over n over till i get bored of it. I also noticed that the CD sounds best when played using speakers with big bass sounds such as using a sub-wolfer or stuff like that. So, if you can, use those for best pleasure.
Thus, the tracklist is as shown below...
- Philip The Boy (opening, intro, wtv u wanna call it)
- The Cheater
- 5 Batai
- Norela
- Hey There Vanessa
- Keep Your Hands Off My Butt
- Life After We Leave
- Farewell (closing, the end, scary movie 4)
- Norela (remix)
- Speech
We placed the two last tracks under the "BONUS" category so that ppl will fall for the impression that they are getting more than they paid for a.k.a. marketting gimmick no.1! So, yea! U can roughly tell which songs we chose to adapt from by the titles of the tracks. ROUGHLY?!! Its f**king obvious!
The burning of the CDs also took quite long cos yes, im a noob in that. But at least im learning right? RIGHT??! We decided to make only 30 copies so that it will be like one of those limited edition albums (yeah right!) so i invested in the physical raw materials to make just that number of copies.
The design of the cover n stuff was done by me while the rest were at Zean's surprise party...Sry Zean! Forgive me, m'lady! U know i'll give anything for YOU! It was pretty rushed, so wether u like it or not, u'll have to accept it as it is!!! Zwee, Jebat and I had a tele-conference through msn while they were at Zean's and we debated on the price of the CD.
Team A,consisting of me, had to defend the stand RM 15 per album/CD while Team B, consisting of the other two had to rebut and persuade me to settle for RM 12. Clearly, they were the underdog so i gave them chance to win. Nola..... i lost. They brought me back to the good side, away from the dark side where shadows lurk. Hence, lolz , the album will be sold at the price of RM 12! I expect a "YAY!"....
For the physical packaging, i wanted to get some free labour from some ppl in class to help out. Wan li invited us over for some open house thing and i took advantage of that moment....so there they were-Dom, Ethan, Cheri, Yi Shen, Hy, Zwee and Ang...working as hard as Santa's slaves (elves). I WISH!!! I'll be damned, if they even got off their butts!!! In the end, it was only Yi Shen, zwee n I who did the dirty job. But all was well cos the rest entertained us with their smelly armpits.
Well, there you have it! The summary of how this project was made. Though the original plan was to release it on 1st oct, we apologize cos up to now, it still hasn't reached ur ears yet. But u must understand that the delay was caused by the extra time needed to polish it so it will be a good experience for u guys. However, all 30 copies are now eagerly waiting to reach ur doorstep soon. We promise it will reach you somewhere near the end of this month. Ciaoz! and we hope you'll invest in this album cos u wont be dissapointed.
