[FallenAngel]

Ok, we are now 2010... Isn't it time for We Heard The Call Vol 2"??? [smile]

[Kaz]

I'd be up for it if someone works out how to do it. I'd even recap my drunken 2003 version of OTB.

[Kaz]

OK, seriously now. I'm totally up for providing vocals if anyone is up for doing the music. Anyone fancy it?

[alphaville88]

I'll record at least 3 songs! SLAM, Apollo, BIJ

[Avil]

I'm going to ask my sister to do something to this. She is a very talanted musician (far mor talanted than I ever was).

[jetset]

Please do NOT tell Malvin, I don't want to be sued again for "outrageous sounds" from my neighbourhood, and responsible for weather disasters.
Wild about a second CD though.

[Clare]

I'm not inflicting my musical (lack of) talent on the world either. Fort William double glazing fitters would be the only ones to gain.

[Avil]

Hm, just to clarify, is it correct that the deadline is in August 2012? Next year? It's an awful lot of time. :D

[Krapplund]

Yes it´s right.....so your all got the time to make some nice tunes [wink]

[Andreas]

I will naturally participate! Last November I actually recorded four AV-songs for an AV-inspired birthday party of a friend. So the question is which song I should choose and improve: Soul Messiah, I die for you today, Flame or Lady Bright???

[Gravitation]

So the question is which song I should choose and improve: Soul Messiah, I die for you today, Flame or Lady Bright???

I Die For You Today [wink]

[Krapplund]

I have heard all songs without Soul Messiah, and I would go for I Die For You Today but also Flame is good.

The two first seconds in I Die For You Today would I work with more [wink]

[Andreas]

@Krapplund: I have sent all of the songs for you. Shall I send "Soul Messiah" again???

@All others: If you want any of these songs, just mail me (andrease@popstar.com) and you will get it/them by mail.

[Avil]

There is a good chance that we will go for Love will find a way. :)

[Krapplund]

There is a good chance that we will go for Love will find a way. :)

Yeah sounds nice

[Gravitation]

I am preparing a song "Recycling" and "Miracle Healing" [smile]

[Krapplund]

And the months going....[beer]

[Krapplund]

Don´t forget about thiso one: http://www.alphaville.org/showthread.php?t=145

[Streetside Romeo]

I will definitely participate - either with Ephemere or solo. However, no idea on the song yet. However, something from Prostitute or TBB is quite likely.

[Krapplund]

Your welcome with your contribute.....

Just to send it to thecall@krapplund.com, or if you got any question

[Krapplund]

Willy don´t forget to make promotion for WHTC2! [wink]

[Kaz]

OK, seriously now. I'm totally up for providing vocals if anyone is up for doing the music. Anyone fancy it?

No offers yet????? Come on! My perfectly perfect voice is now out in the Alphaville public! I really would love to do this.

[alphaville88]

Hello.
I'm looking for someone who can help me to create a track for the next release of "We heard the call".

I'll send voice samples (sung by me) and a professional will make the instrumental arrangements on it, including sound editing and synths.

Let me know if anybody can help me to find the ideal professional.

[wii]

Peter, can you please edit the first post so I can promote this topic better ?

[poul e]

Would be cool if a bunch of us could find a way to sing a choir/acapella song for this album....

[Krapplund]

@wii: I will do it later today [wink]

@poul: sure we can....everybody records at home and put them together (but it´s hard to get everybody to sing as fast for best results)

[Krapplund]

Im ready willy!

[wii]

Ok, I will do it later...

[Krapplund]

Looks nice....

But fought you should have the text here

"Catching Rays On Giant
Read and write your impressions here
Buy album here "

[wii]

Yeah, that too......later [wink]

[Krapplund]

hehehe.....wonder if SPAWN know that it will be a nr 2 now [?]

Peter, can you make a banner or something to promote on this topic and for use on other Alphaville websites ?

Thanks

hehehe.....wonder if SPAWN know that it will be a nr 2 now [?]

[Krapplund]

@wii: yes....let´s see...banner!

[wii]

I hope you are satisfied with the promotion, I played around with some colors, looks ok, I think...

[Krapplund]

Yes looks good....none will miss it now

[alphaville88]

hey people, how about video covers to be posted on youtube? it would be cool as well.

[Sappy]

Awesome....I think I'll try to make a cover!

[fishbones]

I won't be joining in on this as i have no musical talent what so ever . But i can't wait to hear everyone else's. I missed out on hearing the first one so i won't be missing out on hearing this one. [smile]

[Clare]

*also joining in my capacity as audience*

[davidhorizon]

Spawn is hereby informed

[Daniela Vinci]

I couldn't even dare! [laugh][laugh]

[Krapplund]

If you dare, I will also dare to join the cd hehehe

[Kaz]

I wanna do it but no-one wants to do it with me :-(

[JaJaJa]

Not true, Kaz! But I have no time I'm afraid.

[Krapplund]

That´s bad.....would like to have a cover made by you on the CD....

[JaJaJa]

When is the deadline again?

[JaJaJa]

Hmm, just read up myself: 31th of August. Should be possible actually.
Well, something of TBB I'd say.
Or CS. [smile2][smile2]
(No, Kaz, not OTB [smile2]!)

[Kaz]

Oh, I always wanted to cover Anyway [smile] but am up for suggestions from anything...I couldn't do OTB justice anyway...

Weird synchronicity that J-Man cos I was thinking this morning of talking to you about it... [smile]

[MalilaM]

Anyway would be so nice! ...whatever cover you two make, I'm curious to hear. [bouncy]

@J: Say it won't be "Do The Strand". [smile2]

[Kaz]

NO WAY Malila! [laugh]

[Alien]

I always wanted to hear a cover of Anyway. [smile2]

And yes, I stand by my words from chat: another vision on Montego Bay would be great. [laugh]

[Kaz]

Montego Bay is a whole-fan event after the end of a bloody good after show party, I think...

[JaJaJa]

@K: No surprise, look at the history of all the weird moments we've had... [smile2]

@M: Oh, nice idea indeed! But that would be a re-covering... [smile]

[MalilaM]

I'm glad there is more in CS and TBB then. [smile2]

[Kaz]

There are some amazing songs on CS.

[Daniela Vinci]

If you dare, I will also dare to join the cd hehehe

If you listened to me singing, you'll definatly want to take part on the cd. I'm sure you sing better than me! [smile2]

[Krapplund]

Can anyone that think to be a part of the CD "We Heard The Call vol 2", send me an email and tell it, so I get an idea of ​​how many contributions it will be. Thanks

email: thecall@krapplund.com

They that have already been in contact with me don´t have to do it....


And they that not decided yet to contribut with a cover......LET´S START TO MAKE MUSIC!!!!!

Peter, my sister and I are on, as I have mentioned earlier...:)

[Kaz]

I am planning something with another member here. Just have to sort out the logistics so I hope it all comes off [smile]

[Krapplund]

Great to hear girls.....

@Kaz: Yes I heard about it....very nice idea [wink]

[Pitesina]

I have heard Andreas´ version of "Flame". It is great! . I thought that IDFYT was the one I like the most, but for me "Flame" is the winner.

I love the enthusiasm of all the forumers. Unfortunately I have no voice and no way to make music.

[sing]

[Andreas]

Thanks Pitesina for the kind words!!!

[Omegaville]

I thought about singing "Flame",too... but my voice sounds so stupidly [bah]

[Krapplund]

@Omegaville: welcome to the forum!

I think everyone think the same around his/her voice....

[Omegaville]

...but they publish their covers. Isn't it strange,huh?

[Krapplund]

yeah.....but everyone knows that we are fans and not any artist that earn money on ther music

[Omegaville]

You're right :D But I won't send my cover-I can't make instrumental version :)
Maybe I made little mess? I'll be silent...

[Maya]

a Thank You for the DR)

[Krapplund]

6 months left until the last day for submission of songs....

[Sappy]

Will all entries be acceptet or can it be so bad that the track cannot get a place on the WHTC2 ? Just curious [smile]

[Krapplund]

It depends on how many covers i get....I can´t make 2½ cd´s, but the idea is that all covers shall be on the CD...anyway one track to begin with from every artist/band...

[Sappy]

Ok....maybe you've thought about making an mp3 disc with more tracks if they're all good, instead of audio files and less tracks !?
....anyway, I'm looking forward to hear the different versions [smile]

[Krapplund]

The CD will be a real printed CD and nothing else....we will see what the future have in the bags....

And i´m working on the artwork.....i think this release will be good/great.....just waithing for the covers now [wink]

[Sappy]

.....just waithing for the covers now [wink]
How many have you received yet? ....if any!

[Krapplund]

3 i think....

[Sappy]

Wow that was a fast reply, were you just waiting for me to ask [tonque]

[Krapplund]

Yepp........

[Krapplund]

And still no cover from you Sappy! [wink]

[Sappy]

And still no cover from you Sappy! [wink]
I've been recorded the vocals today actually, so now I need to mix the stuff and see if I can do a proper job
so the version can see daylight [smile]

[Krapplund]

No hurry man [wink]

I wait with some beers [beer][beer]

[Sappy]

No hurry man [wink]

....perhaps I'm in no hurry now, but if this version fails, I'll have to find another singer [indiff]

[Krapplund]

Maybe me [?] [wink]

[laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

[Sappy]

Maybe me [?] [wink]

[laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]
I'll drink to that, btw whats the coolest beer you know of Peter? (sorry a bit OT)

[Krapplund]

Coolest beer[?] Beer isn´t cool....

But the coolest i have been drinking is Ratzeputz [drunk][drunk]

[Sappy]

The Coolest Beer I've ever been around were brewed here in my hometown at 'Baggårdsbryggeriet' (the backyard brewery)

It has a qoute on the label 'I'll drink to that' from the Depeche Mode songe 'Black Celebration' ...a taste dark beer.
I knew the owner and he ones mailed a hole box of theese beers to the band and they liked the beer a lot.

....thats cool (especially if you like me are also a Depeche Mode fan) [smoke]

[Krapplund]

Tell the owner that he can mail me a hole box of theese beers to me also [wink]

1 - Sappy - Beersong
2 - Krapplund - AVOL
3 - ??? - ???

[Sappy]

Tell the owner that he can mail me a hole box of theese beers to me also [wink]

1 - Sappy - Beersong
2 - Krapplund - AVOL
3 - ??? - ???
Hell yeah, but unfortunately the company stopped brewing beers around 2009/10 [grumpy] ...same month I became the only person who could sell and export the 'DM beer' [weeping] .....short story with me as beer-dealer [drink]

...btw, I really are looking forward to hear the cover versions on WHTC2

[Omegaville]

I have a feeling that this CD won't be recorded. Simply we haven't enough songs. I could send my cover of AIU [wink]
Correct me if I'm wrong!

[Krapplund]

It will be a release for sure....1 CD or a dubbel-CD...so I think your wrong [wink]

[Krapplund]

@Omegaville: your free to send me your cover if your ready with it....all info you have here:

http://www.krapplund.com/index.php?page=whtc2

[Omegaville]

Yes, but I have one question: does cover must have background music?? If it is, I have a big problem...

[Sappy]

Yes, but I have one question: does cover must have background music?? If it is, I have a big problem...
Let me know if I can help with the music....my cover is almost done, so I might have some spare time to help others!

[Krapplund]

@Omegaville: is it a cappella version [?]

[Omegaville]

Yes, it's a cappella version... but I changed my plans...

[Krapplund]

But you still want to be a part of the WHTC2?

[Sappy]

Got my track well done and soon you'll have a copy by mail Peter!

[wink]

[Omegaville]

@Krapplund: Hmm, difficult question... I have got only recorder on my phone so I've got records in poor quality. Maybe I won't be a part of WHTC2...

[Sappy]

@Krapplund: Hmm, difficult question... I have got only recorder on my phone so I've got records in poor quality. Maybe I won't be a part of WHTC2...
You could mail me the vocals....maybe I can do something with them!?

[Krapplund]

I´m working on something... [wink]

[Krapplund]

The songs in mp3 have to be in 256-320 Kbit ......so please NOT in 160-192 Kbit

Wave is the best solution

Will there be space pr. track enough for credits text?

for example:
Huppi feat. Puppy - Big In China
Song written by Alphaworld
produced and mixed by the Deer Hunter
Mastered by Deep bass boys

[Krapplund]

I would say no....But let´s see what I can do
