somethings wrong with surfs up :(

― chaki, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

yeah...the remake was an incredible fascimile but something was missing. I could never tell if it was just me being so familiar with the versions from the bb box set.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

argh, yes the 'surfs up' I posted is a glitched out version of the studio version. sorry to propagate that, I'd forgotten, for my CD I just put on the studio version (the one I'm sure you have already)

many of the Smile boots include the brian & piano-only demo, but he's a little tentative with the high note, I usually listen to the later studio version

― Milton Parker, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 00:22 (nineteen years ago)

The brian and piano demo is on the box set and it's by far my favorite.

the fast eddie version of Smile is pretty good, edits together original tracks in the order of the 2004 version

however, I have finally settled on Smiley Smile being my fave BB's record (or really, the Smiley Smile/Wild Honey CD)

thats not the only fucked up one. the last 3 tracks fade out and the next song begins only to cut off or somthing

i loved wilson's smile until i heard this orig. version of "child is the father of the man" which kills everything

that last one might be my favorite dance track since I Feel Space

p.s. next funny thred should be called LOLeatta hoLOLway

― dmr, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 03:24 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not going to download the Loleatte Holloway though I assume its the 11 minute Walter Gibbons mix? There's a CD comp of Gibbons mixes that looks amazing...I have a handmade burned from vinyl CD-r from back in the day and it's pretty unstoppable. I've been looking for those specific versions My Love is Free and 10% on vinyl. Really amazing. His mix of Betty Lavette's Doing the Best that I Can is classic as well and not too hard to find, got mine at Academy.

yep
been finding tons of disco stuff at Something Else in park slope

― dmr, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 04:23 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah...I ran into Anthony from Radio 4 a few weeks ago, who owns the place. He was like "have you come by the store lately? We just got a bunch of great disco records and I thought of you" ! I actually had but I was too broke. Jeremy who I do Dazzle Ships with used to work there and our friend Joshua still does. And I think Nick Forte may once or twice a week. I used to go every now and again when I lived in Boerum Hill, I got some great stuff there.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

"hammer of thor" is amazing. riton's doing a krautrock album apparently!!

― haitch, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

yay!

― ☪, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

I just ordered Hammer of Thor. I like it.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

to jump in late on the smile chat:

the problem i have with the 2004 version is that it has sooooo much distance. it almost sounds like the broadway version of what might have been awesome.

i have a couple of odd bootlegs, but only on cassette...ill see if i can get back to them and digitize.

its very hard to sort out "the best take" given all the assorting takes i have. plus, i tink it ends up as a very personal thing. certain takes of certain tracks have more resonance for odd regions. i personally liked smile for its odd tensions and strange musical "narative" that wound oddly between tracks. while the 2004 is lovely, it lacks that emotional tension and trades too highly on fancy sound for my taste

― bb, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

thanks thanks thanks dan!

― remy bean, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

no problem. I like that album a lot, even though some people write it off because of it's super glossy production.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

I just ordered Hammer of Thor. I like it.

nice. I love how it's got elements of a stormer (the sirens + drums + twisty fx on the bassline) but at the same time the kbd tune is really melancholy and winds its way through not completely on the beat ... like it covers a bar and a half. something like that.

― dmr, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

it's the melancholy that gets me. always.

jess: distance in a sentient sort of way. i find this to be the problem in most "modern recording". music just feels farther away..displaced, plasitc, unreal. its mostly a production issue, and one that plenty of people get crumudgeonly about. i know they went back and used old equipment and so forth, so perhaps its the fultof the players. i dunno. i know i spoke more (and more clearly) on this on ilm when the thing came out...

strangely, i was thinking about this last night. on the way home i was listening to hawkwind, but then popped out to read in the backyard of a local bar. the fuckers there were playing som wretched def leopardy cover of "radar love". again, while the performance itself was kinda flat and canned..the recording itself was canned to a greater extent. but the biggest turn off was the upfront, but not-of-this-world-nature of the recording. hawkwind: not-of-this-world, but also more human, less distanced from an understandable, phyisical experience.

someday ill learn to express this idea well. this is what i get for almost never writing record reviews these days...

― bb, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

I barely know what compression is but don't a lot of people blame "too much compression" for that unreal / modern / plastic feel in newer recordings?

― dmr, Thursday, 10 May 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

yep..and often its ture and often its someone who doesnt understand drawing at straws.

i actually have a piece in the works about compression..but the thing got blown up in a conversation with a freind last fri...need to draw the pieces back in..stay on target

also, thanks to Tofu for that Gospel Harmonettes album. & I'm more into rare albums / single tracks / things you can't find in stores or itunes on this thread as well, I think we got a break after the YSI crackdown because no one even knew what any of this stuff was

― Milton Parker, Thursday, 10 May 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

hey dudes, i looked past yr posts. sorry.

Ossian was a group of Polish jazz musicians who decided to take up (mostly) non-Western instruments in the late 70s and make some great proggy folk shit. the record that the track above is taken from is a bit more 'exotic' in sound than others, but all of them have a similar feel. i think three re-issues have been done of their stuff and are available, but i first heard them on some vinyl i got in Krakow a while back.

if yr interested, i'll upload the rest of 'Ksiega Chmur' (Book of Clouds) and the 'Roots' record tonight.
