And I'm usually terrible at picking out synth sounds, but the notes at the beginning are totally Jupiter/Juno.
The Byrds beat him by 15 or so years though. Moog Raga is dying for a remix.

actually the year in the "dancing ghosts" youtube is referring to the lp release of elemental 7. iirc the song was first released on video in 1982, placing it as early as the raga bhairav. i'm sure stirmonster can clear this up
― hotel califor.nia (r1o natsume), Monday, 12 April 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah both of those live LPs (Elemental 7 and European Rendezous) need to be reissued in their full length original form. two of my favorites.
Elenental 7 is from '83, I think that's when the original gigs were also.

I asked Chris Carter if he remembered what he used on this track. The following is what he had to say: "I'm a little fuzzy on specifics for individual tracks from this album as it was recorded over a four year period (1974 - 78) but as far as I can remember 'Interloop' was recorded on a Tascam 4 track - probably a A3340S. I think the synths used were a Roland SH-1 for the sequence and an Roland SH-5 for the synth lead line. A Roland System-100 104 Sequencer was driving the SH-1. I am pretty sure the delay effects were from a Roland RE501 and probably a couple of Boss pedals - a phaser and a chorus most likely - all Roland basically."

Were the other tracks cut to fit vinyl or were they not on the original vinyl?
― dan selzer, Thursday, 19 August 2010 03:04 (fourteen years ago) link
there wasn't an original vinyl - this is the first time they have been on vinyl. there's also a possibility there will be a volume 2 for the tracks that didn't make it on the mini lp.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 19 August 2010 04:27 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry, I meant cassette. Looking forward to it. I had the CD from when I'd buy anything that said "the grey area of mute" on it.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 19 August 2010 04:49 (fourteen years ago) link
ah, ok. yup. i picked my faves to go on the vinyl and wanted a loud cut so only put a few on (plus a bonus track that was only ever on a comp. cassette). pre-sale on this is really good so hopefully i'll be able to put the other tracks out on another volume too.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 19 August 2010 06:14 (fourteen years ago) link
that's good news about vol 2! "maybe" and "poptone" are two of my favourites
is "climbing" the tune from that jhonn balance tape? look forward to hearing that. amazing work, man!
― that habit kick man (r1o natsume), Thursday, 19 August 2010 08:13 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, it is. it's incredible (particularly following chris's fabulous remastering job).

Remastering:
I am about to start remastering our early Chris & Cosey catalogue for vinyl. This is quite an undertaking as I'm not only tweaking the audio - from the original master tapes - but I'm also reconstructing the cover artworks from what remaining negatives, print films and parts that still exist or aren't lost. Which to be honest there isn't that much of around anymore - which alone should make it an interesting project. All being well we are hoping to get these re-releases out before the years end...watch this space.
― vessels in distress (r1o natsume), Thursday, 2 September 2010 20:26 (fourteen years ago) link
that's great news, I would buy a remastered version of Trance for sure.
― sleeve, Thursday, 2 September 2010 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Picked up Spaces Between on a visit to London last week - the last copy in Sister Ray - I think they said they got 7 copies originally..
the vinyl sounds incredible - the bass is insane! Chris did an amazing job with the remastering..
Any chance of more spaces between coming any time Keith?
― Deluxe Merseybeat Wig (Jack Battery-Pack), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
it sounds incredible. such a great job all round
"climbing" isn't what i expected at all. the beat is completely insane, like proto-dubstep or something. really cool
― lao gan ma (r1o natsume), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i wish i had been able to do a double to begin with but it just wasn't an option. there is a possibility if this does well (pre sale has been v. good) that there will be a second volume.

I've been (skim) reading her autobiography/memoir, which I don't think is even out yet. It's fascinating up until when TG reform, then it's just a bunch of boring old rock musicians bitching and kvetching about boring old rock subjects like management, money, recording etc. Gen is the absolute villain of the book, a terrible man, terrible man - that's according, not only to Cosey, though she has most cause, but Chris, Sleazy and most people who crossed his path - if the book is to believed, that is.
