As many have pointed out, the suggestion of an Em411 cover based album is starting to take shape. With suggestion of some of the em411 users a basic rough draft of the guidelines has been formed. Any suggestions on guidelines to keep this thing solid are very well appreciated.

Also I'd like to note, this project is in no way affiliated with Em411.com (unless they want it to be *hint hint*), it is merely affiliated with em411.com's users using em411.com as a medium, so if this thing crashes and burns, (and don't expect it to), don't blame em411. Blame Jerry Falwell. Ok, here it goes:

1. Only Cover songs will be accepted. No originals, the point of this is to cover a band who has been an influence to your music. Do as many songs as you'd like. Everyone will get AT LEAST two songs, although one is more than enough. We can always vote on having additional songs.

2. No midi files. Play or program the music yourself. If the band influences you to cheat, it's probably not worth covering. Also, no samples from the original song. Though it may not be a for profit deal, let's not make any lawyers see us as targets.

3. Cover whatever aritst or band inspired your electronic music. It doesn't have to be an exclusively electronic music. Hell, my inspirations range from Dying Fetus to Frank Zappa.

4. Timeframe: We all have lives, and we can't all dedicate a solid two weeks to a song. And let's be honest, we are all perfectionists.. Bottom line is we need time. Deadline for submission is October 31st. You can make it happen, and you know it.

5. Hype it up. Get the word out there. The point of this is to get recognition to those who deserve it. The real artists.

6. Insert suggestions here.
