New maudlin of the well? 2008-06-26 by Neoteric | 15 Comments | Taken from Toby Driver's blog (http://www.kayodot.net/toby):
"I'm in the process of writing an essay for an upcoming edition of ARCANA, a series of books that JZ has put together to give composers an opportunity to explain their music (hopefully borne out of the fact that critics always get it wrong.)
Anyway I've spent a good few pages retrospecting maudlin of the Well, which has made a few older and unrecorded songs flood back into my mind... amazingly, the memory of them is very fresh and I'm still able to hear those complete songs in my head.
A lot of the time in motW, some compositional and programming decisions were made based on the music's audience; thus the music that was never heard is like the least rock stuff of all (but it's all from 1998-2000, so is not as pushing of the envelope as our music of today). For example, there's an expanded and further developed version of The Blue Ghost/Shedding Qliphoth with vocals, strings, piano, etc... all the stuff I'm talking about is kind of in that vein.
So I have this serious bug in my ear right now about it; Terran is around again and if we had the resources I think we'd both be eager to put a record together. Actually I already asked Dark Symphonies but they can't do it. But I'm not really interested in label-shopping otherwise because I'm not sure what motW's relevance is to any label. There also doesn't really seem to be a need to release motW commercially since the band is done as an entity, so even a free internet release would be cool; I wonder if we could somehow have a community-funded motW record - funded by donations from fans and then released for free online. Or released for free on CD or vinyl complete with artwork if there was enough fundage."
[I'm using this post to help gauge the amount of fans willing to donate to see this material released, and I suppose it would also be helpful to know just how much each fan might be able to donate. The amount of donations would like determine how much of this unreleased material could be recorded (more donations = more studio time = more songs).
If you do not feel comfortable posting your potential donation amount in the comments, you can also message me and I will add it to the public amount. -c.]

I'd donate in a heartbeat.
| | |
Even though Blue Lambency Downward was shit, I'd donate.
| | |
Oh my... *hard*
| | |
Oh jesus yes!
| | |
It would be cool since i don't really like kayo dot.
| | |
I would definitely donate, definitely.
| | |
I'd donate in theory (because even though i enjoy their tunes, i probably wouldn't donate but i'd like to impress my fellow sputnikians with my available funds and willingness to support artists i like)...i'd get this though.This Message Edited On 06.26.08

I wish they would just remaster old motW stuff and get over with it
| | |
This could be awesome. I would donate if I weren't a poor college student.
| | |
dude FUCK YES
i'd donate but i dont have any money, and im not sure i can convince my parents to donate =/
| | |
this has the potential to be absolutely fantastic. My favorite toby releases are the late maudlin-early kayo dot stuff, and this sounds perfectly in that vein.
| | |
I wonder how much they'd want as a regular donation though.
| | |
I'd donate.
| | |
If they remaster psychobells I'll donate fo shizzle.
