Prizes
ACID PRO 4.0Vegas 4.0.
Five Loops for ACID loop libraries.
£500 (500 pounds) from Marillion, and inclusion on a forthcoming remix CD.
Remixing "Between You and Me" is only the tip of the Marillion iceberg.
In what may be a rock-and-roll first, the band is offering every track off the complete "Anoraknophobia" album for remixing, and tremendous prize packages - including a £500 remix fee and a commercial album release. The band will personally provide anyone with the complete masters for each track. Get details of the full contest here.
Marillion was an early adopter of the Internet in maintaining fan relations. They relied on it to keep the Marillion community together, and to drive the band to new heights. Here's your chance to help Marillion take the medium even further. Create entirely new Marillion at ACIDplanet and www.marillion.com.
About the Artist
Has ACIDplanet lost its mind? - who the hell are Marillion? Listen...As the multitudes of fans who regularly flock to see the band live or buy their records are all too aware, there really is no other band like Marillion. Refusing to compromise their music by bowing to the marketing pressures of focus groups or record labels seeking a chart-busting single, Marillion have delighted in pressing on to create their own unmistakable and authentic music.
The band have been around since the early 80's and have always made music that bucks against current trends. Over the past twenty years, the band has stubbornly followed their muse, and developed a large, dedicated following. Marillion has been prolific, producing titles such as Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, and many others, topped off by the recent release of Anoraknophobia. Marillion fans will attest that the band has forged its own unmistakable and authentic music.
"It's the Holy Grail for most musicians, to have complete freedom of expression and to be free of commercial pressures," says vocalist Steve Hogarth. "Not to have the dreaded visit by the A&R man to see how it's going. The whispering in the ear of the producer saying 'make it more like this'. We don't have any of those things to deal with, we are just doing what we like doing."
And nearly twenty years into their career the band continues to maintain their integrity, and has set up their own label, Racket Records.

Tips
At 12:00 a.m. midnight PST on Saturday, December 30, 1899, the contest will be closed and no further uploads will be accepted. If you are new to ACIDplanet, you should create an account and upload a song as soon as possible so that you can work out any problems with uploading that you may encounter. Also, uploading a song can take a considerable amount of time. It's better not to wait until the last few hours of the contest to start uploading your entry.
Entrants must upload a Windows Media format or Real Media format version of their entry first. You will not be able to upload any additional formats after the contest closes, so if also you want to upload an mp3 version, please allow enough time to upload them both before the contest closing time.
Entrants must provide accurate contact information (valid e-mail and postal address) in their registration at ACIDplanet.com for the purpose of contacting winners. You can update your contact information here.
Contest Content Help
No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.
What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.
Can't open the ACID file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 3.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0, but not in ACID 1.0 or 2.0. If you are an ACID 1.0 or 2.0 user and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version of ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the contest loops in any version of ACID or other software.
