Sinewav Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 So I just got a new job and I feel like spending some money. I was thinking that finally trying to catch up on that long list of OCR artists' original albums might be a fun way to spend a little extra cash, as I've recently been jammin' to Audix's One Day Millennium... problem is, I don't really have a list, so I have no idea what consider. I can't even remember who has original material and who doesn't. So show me what you've got. Maybe I'll send a little money your way.

Abadoss Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I am working on one, but it's certainly not anywhere near ready to buy... sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ooh, ooh, me! You could download my album from here, and then if you like it you can buy an awesome hard copy (or whatever)! You never know until you try... Of course then again I'm not technically an "OCR Artist" either (YET) but hey, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLyGeN Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Better way to spend money:Buy the album Images And Words from Dream Theater. Best album ever made. If not that then Train of Thought by Dream Theater. That one's more accessible for those not used to DT yet. Way to promote artists in the community. I thought you got banned.

Liontamer Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 http://vgmdb.net/artist/1035 - Buy all the ones in blue listed there, and that takes care of zircon and pixietricks's albums. Can't think of many other original albums from OCR artists offhand. Anthony Lofton also has his original album "Sensational". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Shael Riley and his band The Grammar Club have albums free for download. Shnabubula's Controller 1 is highly recommended as well. You can purchase albums from SGX and Siamey from the same place you got One Day Millenium - http://www.protagonistrecords.net/ binster's "Abandoned" is available here.

"Better way to spend money?" This guy wants to support up-and-coming artists here in the community, people we know, and you're telling him that it's better to buy from an already-successful band that's sold over two million albums?! What is wrong with you? -- Oh yes: buy zircon's music. ALL OF IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not that then Train of Thought by Dream Theater. That one's more accessible for those not used to DT yet. You do realize that there are numerous forums for DT fanwankery? We get it, you like DT. If you want to discuss DT in great depth, do so somewhere else. Enough of us like them, but unlike you, most people here have fairly broad musical tastes, as well as reading comprehension enough to grasp the point of a thread before posting something in it. Not to mention that labeling any album the best album ever made is highly pretentious and subjective. *sigh* A month was too short. As for real suggestions, I'm going to add Inside Myself/Once Upon A Time by Destiny (Helen Trevillion), Origins and Through Sand and Snow by Pixietricks (Jillian Goldin), and Zircon's albums, especially Antigravity and The World Circuit.

Red9 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 My album is free, I'll even ship it to you free. It's fifteen (WOW 15! ) tracks of nothing but silence. It's so quiet you can't even see it in the case! Excellent for sleeping to or even just relaxing or meditating! Takes up minimal room on your hard drive or portable media device , is non-lincensed , and is actually promoted by the record company to be shared via your favorite p2p file sharing program ! Order today! do I win yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside Myself (besides having a highly amusing title), Once Upon A Time, and Origins are all excellent stuff. I haven't had a chance to listen to any of the previews for Through The Sand And Snow yet, but it's Jill, so it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 8 million actually. (nerdy, I know)Most OCR artists' music is free anyway. And it was a joke >_>. 'course if you want bands you've never heard of I know plenty. Pain of Salvation, anyone? How is that possibly a joke? And read the original post. He's not asking for bands he's never heard of. He's asking for ALBUMS BY OCR ARTISTS. In case you didn't know, people posted to this site ALSO SELL ALBUMS OF ORIGINAL MUSIC. Is Pain of Salvation posted on this site?! IS DREAM THEATER POSTED ON THIS SITE?! NO! Stop SHILLING Dream Theater in nearly every single post you make! If you can't contribute something ON TOPIC, don't post!

Sindra Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey, if you got a little left over pocket change from buying one of these fine albums....you can support this lil' non-remixer by commissioning artwork. =D *wink wink nudge nudge* Worth a shot.

BardicKnowledge Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Most OCR artists' music is free anyway. There are a lot of artists whose music outside of their submissions to OCR is certainly _not_ free: off the top of my head, I can think of Audix, Destiny (no longer using that name AFAIK -- look for Helen Trevillion online sometime) sgx, Siamey, pixietricks, and zircon are all putting great music out there trying to make music professionally. In addition to people making original pieces, there are plenty of professional level VG cover bands that are deserving of your money -- The OneUps and The Megas are the two I can come up with without wasting more time doing your research for you. It's great that you've enjoyed their charitable contributions to OCR's database and your playlist as a result, but don't try to undercut anyone's hard work...especially people who have been around much longer than you have.

Even if that art is non-musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
