Meta
thank you so much! keep up your good work!!!! i love you!
Barry. You are my hero. mmmwaah!
Beautiful music, good quality and excellent bandwith! Thanks!!!
Yessir but for how long! My bandwidth-o-meter (a big contraption, set up in the basement) would be fuming through its ears right now if it, like, had ears. Knock on wood, friends!
Thanks. And I want to kiss you always – as usual.
:-)
The music is strange sometimes – at first, sometimes a but sketchy – , but I’m also curious what the others think.
I picked this one up on zappateers to be considerate of your bandwidth-o-meter.
The music is sketchy indeed, but this is also true about Civilization, one of my favourite albums.
You kind person you. Let me know if you want to kiss me though.
Well, I don’t agree. There are some mysteries on Civilisation, yes: N-Lite is too long for me, sometimes I don’t get “where it goes”, but Buffalo Voice and (above all) Amnerica are really eleborated, intimate, fine – fantastic pieces. Along with maybe Pigs With Wings, and so on.
BTW: there is more “filler material” on the 2nd CD – for me.
But for now: I must get back to this very recording…
Brilliant stuff. Its a shame he didnt get more time to develop this stuff, because he had achieved an almost unique sound, mixing lots of different elements,genres and textures into his music. With his final orchestral stuff (the yellow shark) and his synclavier music he found the sound he was probably after when he first starting listening to Varese.
Awe inspiring, better than some of the released stuff. What is the deal, why hasnt this been released by frank, in favor of things like Thing Fish?
A far superior album than Jazz from Hell, I recommend this to anyone who is beginning to dabble in his synclavier/classical stuff (this and Yellow Shark).
Huge thank you to zappateers, spy and Barry!
@Barry, you know, I want to kiss you always
Thank you to everyone involved with bringing this one to light! I am very interested to learn more about this tape’s history. Who is the “mystery woman” that FZ gave the tape to? Under what circumstances? How much more of this stuff exists OUTSIDE the vaults? What else is out there?
“We are not alone”
Listenning to the tapes I tend to think that these are mostly “work in progress” recordings, maybe a kind of “live in the studio” recordings in one take, just like Basement music (as FZ says in the liner notes there). There are really quite a lot of repetitions – unlike on the finished material of this kind, and it really seems (to me) that each sample might belong to a certain key, and FZ just plays, trying out the possible variations. Interesting, indeed, but becomes a little boring after a while. I don’t think I will listen to it in a daily basis, but I will definitely come back to see how a tune, a composition is born. Anyway: it seemed to me at one point that a tiny expert of this was used on Civilization. I’m not sure, but it really seemed to me. I’ll check.
