why not jus put the best tracks on a comp unmixed?
What's the problem? You only submitted a track and don't take any participation in this community whatsoever, yet you question the whole concept. This mixed compilation series is called One on Twoism for a reason, and this is how it developed. There is no hurry to finish this.
the whole concept I thought was to submit music?
Do you know to which compilation you submitted a track to? _________________ _____________

Aesthetics does a fantastic job every year with these comps. There are many many more members submitting tracks now than there were several years ago when the first couple of volumes came out. And I bet a lot of em are new members who never post anything that just registered on here to get their track on the comp.
I can imagine he's going through a shit ton of tracks and trying to wrap his head around them all and which ones to choose and fit together.

The release will most likely be around April/May. I really need this time to figure out what the best flow will be.
I'm still at the beginning stage. So far I don't even have one decent pair of tracks mixed into each other so I have a looooooong way to go.
What's more important now is to have someone who can build a site. The artwork is coming along nice though.
you make it sound so difficult,
It's more difficult than you think unless you want the final product to be of shoddy quality. Aesthetics doesn't get paid for doing this and does it all for the love of the project and the community whilst also leading a regular life like the rest of us, which doesn't permit 24 hours a day to put it together. Take all the time you need until you're happy with it, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise! _________________ Please 'Like' the Retronym Facebook page at www.facebook.com/retronymlabel if you enjoy our free releases, spread the word! www.retronym.co.uk
I can give it a shot, but I'm not a graphic artist. I do know flash like the back of my hand. Anyone with a sharp eye for graphics wanna help?

If one of the designers can come up with a site design (with all details figured out), I don't mind turning it in a website. A photoshop file or even a high quality jpg/png as a source works for me, as long as I only have to cut it up...
Why don't you guys team up? Once the artwork is chosen I guess you guys can work something out, right?
Well my flash skills are a bit rusty and I don't have Adobe Flash atm. I would say, if a designer has an idea with animation/a lot of user interaction which needs flash, you should contact Cupz. For plain html/css/javascript you could send me a message and we'll work something out. _________________ Unexpect the expected

Polar's OOT5 cover art is fantastic. Personally I think the 4th one where the pentagon separates the blackness of the outside from the atmosphere on the inside is perfect. Isn't that what the music on OOT is about? Giving us an escape from this world and entering us into another. I feel that the image is making a strongly visual suggestion. Inside there is a world of beauty (fantastic skyline) and outside there is nothing to distract you. It looks slick, professional and has a very clear visual impact.
That being said, the sunset is also fantastic. I feel it's a shame that the back story of the picture can't really be told as it's part of what makes it interesting to me. Could you make a version of this picture with the outside of the pentagon blacked out like the other one? Just to see what it's like. pleeeeeeeease x _________________ One Daw to rule them all,One Daw to find them,

The site design should follow the design of the artwork, that is why no one has submitted any site yet, since designers are waiting for a winner among those artwork candidates in order to set the fundamental theme for the upcoming website. _________________ I've Been Gone About A Week.

First off thanks for the supporting posts
Geo & Cupz: I know there has to be a theme first but with the other editions (except OoT3) there already was someone who offered his skills to program and design a site at this stage. We now have 2 programmers but no designer. I also said it to bend the whole discussion away from the "who and when" questions. _________________ _____________

I really like Subset's artwork, so I'm putting in my vote for that.
Some of Polar Sky's are nice too, but I'm not keen at all on the pink-and-turquoise trees with the photoshop-looking yellow glow. _________________ Listen to my crappy electronic music

How do you suggest I achieve a less photoshop looking outer glow?
no outer glow.... _________________ Coming soon:

I understand that, but my question was how to have an outer glow without it looking so "Photoshoped. Maybe I will print the pentagon sunset out, paste it on cardboard and shine a light from the back and the front then take a 110 of that, hahaha. Fuck it. Here it is without the glow:

I like that last one polar, there is a really nice feeling to that one.
The plain border seems to work very well, I think it looks better than the ones with the "glow".
I also second that Aesthetics should take as much time as he needs for this, there is no
rush, The final compilation will be all the better for it.
[edit]
I just had an idea...
If you are uncomfortable with such a clean edge perhaps you could somehow tie it in with a pentagon aperture type thing. Look at the bookeh in this photo for an idea. Just a thought, but it the clean edge really is nice as it is.
Polar, you've hit the nail on the head with those IMO. Personally I like the glow and I think it's only really an issue to people who have used photoshop and recognise the effect. I don't use it so looking at it with naked and unbiased eyes, I think it looks great. Also looks nice and concise without the glow.
Either of the 2 sunset pentagons get my vote for certain. _________________ One Daw to rule them all,One Daw to find them,

On another note, Pantheon just gave me an idea. There's no doubt in my mind that we should go OTT for OOT5. We'll only make OOT5 once, and since 5 is a symbolic number why not (discreetly) feature as many fives as possible? Everyone who submitted a track should draw a pentagon, however big and whatever colour, on their hand. Then take a picture of their outstretched hand ( such as pantheon's) with all FIVE fingers erect(lol). Then we mash these pictures together and can add it to the sleeve or the site.
Effectively like hollywood hand-prints, but without the hollywood bullshit _________________ One Daw to rule them all,One Daw to find them,
