Thumped Compilation Club (1 Viewer)

[nlgbbbblth]

at the risk of this becoming the reacharound club... been listening to your comp nlgbbbbblth and theres some really good tracks on there. you got anymore CiM?

that track is taken from a Focus sampler 12" from 2000.
also have Warm Data LP and Reference 12" - both worth a listen.

Also The Fall - where to start? I have a really old video of them performing songs like Edinburgh Man and Been a Lotta Wind Now (uh) on an MTV session and they rock too. Just never followed them up for some reason. Is there a recommended starting point for a band with such an extensive back catalogue?

The Fall have been my favourite band since I was around 14/15. The album that got me into them was This Nation's Saving Grace back in Christmas 1985. While the back catalogue looks daunting it's worthwhile noting that they have only released 24 studio albums. Live albums and compilations bring the total past 80.

Up till this year there wasn't a career spanning compilation - but this changed with the release of 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong - a double CD of some 38 or 39 songs. If I were you I'd get that and see what you think. Most of it is pretty accessible. I saw it in HMV for €15 last month but price may have reverted back to the €20 mark. If you like that then I would recommend getting the following studio albums

Hex Enduction Hour (1982 - album #5)
Grotesque (1980 - album #3)
Slates (1981 - album #4)
This Nation's Saving Grace (1985 - album #9)
The Real New Fall LP (2003 - album #24)

now what you have to watch out for is the particular version of each album.
Sanctuary are re-releasing the back catalogue in stages (deluxe expanded editions with bonus tracks, remastered sound etc). The stuff is being released in pairs - so far
Live At The Witch Trials and Dragnet (1979 both - albums #1 and #2)
Totale's Turns (1980 live album) and Grotesque (1980 - album #3)
Live In London 1980 and Slates (1981 - album #4)

Hex Enduction Hour, their finest, ahem, hour is due after Christmas.
Do not buy the above albums if you see previous editions of them - shoddy sound quality etc. Vinyl wise you'll pick them up second hand.

The band moved to Beggar's Banquet in 1984 and stayed there til 1989 so Sanctuary do not have the rights to this material. So you will have to make do with average-sounding CDs pressed up and released c1990 for this period.

That Moulty song freaks five shades of fuck out of me. But I like it

yeah; it's a good one. It is taken from the Nuggets box set. The drummer of The Barbarians was called Moulty and he had a hook for a left hand. But when he heard the song had been released he went apeshit and chased the manager of the record label (Laurie records) around his office, breaking copies of the single over his head.

umm....is that label not called deFocus?

label was originally called Focus but changed its name to DeFocus at a later stage (possibly around late 2001 but I'm not sure). Those CiM records date from 2000 when it was still called Focus

he is the nigglebath and he is king

that was probably delta 5.. i put the wrong version of the song on the cd. the 7" of anticipation is amazing. then they camped it up with the worst production ever for their album!

sorry for the let down

wasnt sure about the name, so I had to go check, but NO! I really like that one!

I may be chastised for this but its that jasons basement one, I just cant get the image of Tia Carrere 'wailing' out of my mind when I hear it.

the first track is fucking killer, as is that other creepy one 'I think about you all the time' (proper name?) all in all A savage comp. Anyone who wants it, PM me!

 

[zebra heart attack]

ah its the gossip you dont like... i really like her voice.

that last pere ubu song (codex) creeps me out every time i hear it. yet its strangely addictive.

.. i only managed to fit in the first couple tracks on hermie's tape this morning. sounds great. ill get to the rest later!

 

[taubstumm]

he is the nigglebath and he is king

nlgbbbblth made me a compilation tape about 5 years ago which i still have somewhere, which is fantastic. my first introduction to quickspace (or quickspace supersport, as they were then), as well as loads of other stuff, including the a and b sides of the first arab strap single. also fantastic.

anyway, i'm working on mine now, so i'll post up a list when all is ready.

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

what are these guys like? read about but never heard....

krautrock supergroup from the late seventies featuring members of cluster and neu.
Albums called Musik von Harmonia and features ambient and up beat motorik type pieces made with guitars keyboards a cello and a shit load of home made effects boxes etc. (something like that anyway)
there was a piece about them in mojo about three or four months ago (the one with rhcp on the cover.
