https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMLQ4FRsepg

waiting impatiently for the "space between" vinyl re-issue...

it's coming! it got delayed while i sorted out new distribution which is now all sorted. it'll be the first release i do via kompakt. it has been expanded to 8 tracks from tape.

in the meantime, c&c are putting out their back catalogue on vinyl again very shortly.

:D :D :D

The two silhouettes are Jedward (or at least they will be in my nightmares)

Isn't it the Eurythmics?

i'd read about that song being the first to combine a 303 and 808, but actually, a friend just sent me this. indian track from 82 using the same combo. mind blown

Crazy. I felt the same way about Black Devil Disco Club!

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.

doesn't gen pee-orridge also claim to have invented it

xpost love that track, i need that Singh album

no, Gen claims to have put the acid in UK Acid House with this single and the Jack the TAB compilation in 1988

i hope they get around to reissuing that cti album. it's very good

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

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.

marcel dettmann has included a cti track from the elemental 7 album on his new fact podcast

so fucking cool

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."

Optimo Music will release The Spaces Between in September 2010.

Were the other tracks cut to fit vinyl or were they not on the original vinyl?

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.

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.

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.

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!

yes, it is. it's incredible (particularly following chris's fabulous remastering job).

so looking forward to this..... will be grebt to have these on vinyl finally!

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.

that's great news, I would buy a remastered version of Trance for sure.

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?

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

Any chance of more spaces between coming any time Keith?

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.

Listened for a while, then the stream died.

I saw them at the Metro in 1987 and they were really great
