There seems to be some confusion...I'll try to clear it up.
The idea of this thing is to bring into being the album that was suggested by the hoax. However, the idea is NOT to suggest that Pink Floyd have ANYTHING at all to do with this.
That would open the project up to litigation.
We don't want that.
The fact that this disc is being distributed through NPF will say all that needs to be said about Pink Floyd in relation to this project.
Perhaps Keith will be kind enough to mention Double Core in the newletter once it's ready to go
Speaking of which...the deadline is less than a month away. As everyone finishes their songs, I'll need to you to pm me your credit information (the name of your band, who plays what, who wrote your song, who produced and engineered, yadda yadda yadda) and then I'll pm you back with the addy to send your song to.
I'd like all songs in wav format on cd's, please.

If the cover and inlay display the NPF logo (and text reading the words 'Neptune Pink Floyd' somewhere) then people are bound know.
Surely that would be sufficient?
To be fair, the whole things is only likely to appeal to us lot anyhow.
My interpretation was that it is aimed at the NPF members/friends, that the project is intended for us. Have I got that right? It'd be fantastic to distribute outside of the organisation, but that would bring up all manner of legal issues I'm sure.
Ps. We might possibly get some more interest in the album if we were to mention it is endorsed by Stevie G, the drummer outta Darkside - just a thought.

Big Dim's right...I doubt that many people outside this forum would be very interested in Double Core, anyway.
To put the name Pink Floyd on this project would be to imply an association with the band which doesn't exist. It would be as though we are saying 'Pink Floyd approves of this project,' when the fact is that they aren't even aware of it's existence.
The NPF logo somewhere on it should be sufficient. Although, to be honest, I think that would spoil the cover art (no offense to the logo...it IS a very nice logo.)

Feel free to plug it at your shows. If you like, when it's finished, you could even distribute it at your shows...I don't think anyone would mind that.
Maybe we can do another album of Floyd-inspired original music in the future and you guys could put a song in.

Is that THE Stevie G out of Darkside??? Wow! There's no telling where such an endorsement could take us! Double Core my arse-more double platinum!BigDim wrote:We might possibly get some more interest in the album if we were to mention it is endorsed by Stevie G, the drummer outta Darkside - just a thought.

Easy, now. Keep in mind that Darkside have a fanbase of their own which may not be aware of NPF.
An endorsement from a member of this band COULD pick us up a couple of new vine operators...or just some people willing to listen to the album and copy it to give to other people.
It COULD be helpful...don't be so quick to knock it.
"Double platinum?"
