do you mean permutations on the "foetus" theme or frank watt, clint

future sound of london wins the prize as far as i know:
mental cube, yage, candese, fsol, metropolis, smart systems, indo
tribe and probably a few others i've forgotten...

there seems to be three possibilities:
1) if you've got a vocal sample in your track, name your song after it.
(eg: "it's not my problem" by FSOL, "we are the music makers" by
aphex twin, "i'm so high" by eden transmission)
2) if the song suggests a mood or place, use that as the name
(eg: "lake of dreams", "pacific state", "the trip")
3) pick a random cool sounding phrase
(eg: "three nudes in a purple garden")
personally, i try for #2, but usually fall back on #3. i've got a
long sheet of song titles stored up for use in emergencies. i was
going to try to name all my songs stuff from english lit studies (as i
majored in english at university) but after naming six or so songs, i
realized that i had no fucking idea which song was which weird name.
i don't know how the aphex twin can deal with all those bizarre names
he makes up either. maybe he's got a better memory than i do. i had
to make a crib sheet to help me out so when people asked me "what
synth did you use on `metonymy'" i could remember which song that was.
