The Monotony Song

An admittedly skippable one works well for a day when it's unlikely anyone wants to listen anyway.

A fast! cover version of the Peel session version of the Fire Engines original, actually great, just wish it were a bit longer.

(Still posting these despite everything because got to have some little spark of joy in my day)

This one, I think, is quite Cardiacs.

Thank you for posting these, Camaraderie. I'm following this and listening...

Cheers city worker

This is Super-8 Recording

Sounds cheeky

This is the last of the really early demos, however we are not going to move to much higher production values for quite a while.

On to Music By Walt Disney But Played By Yuri Gagarin Thus A Political Record - their first proper release.

This is 'Goosebump' - bit of a low-key start to the EP

Always thought it was funny how he nails the anxiety of the subject matter in the 7" version, but sound like he can't be bothered when it appears on Kinky Cinema

I'm still hoping for a comprehensive list of single versions I need to track down.

The re-recordings of MBWDBPBYG tracks on Kinky Cinema are some of the weaker bits on there. I'm actually going to post the re-make of Father Ubu Says because of the way he changes the lyrics to ones about how much he hates the song.

"I was only 23 when I wrote it..." etc.

Stuttering rhythms give way to a bit of low-fi power pop, then synthesis

The re-recordings of MBWDBPBYG tracks on Kinky Cinema are some of the weaker bits on there.

Is everything on "Kinky Cinema" a re-recording?

No, it's a mix of early demos, mid-period demos, re-recordings and new experimental bits in roughly equal proportions.

oh and the first ten tracks are the Kodak Nancy Europe ep

There! is! no! Santa! Claus!

This one is fairly new to me as I never had this EP, and there wasn't a re-record on Kinky Cinema.

So, I totally love this band and know these records really well but it's been hard to get into this thread. Breaking up something like Kinky Cinema (which is 60 >90 second songs) into individual tracks feels quite academic, like putting a frozen tissue sample under a microscope. Which is fine, even potentially revealing but to my ears reduces it to something like a historical artifact.

IMO, this would work better record-by-record than track-by-track.

It will make more sense when I get to more substantial releases.

Will continue this tomorrow as I finished a Twitter thing which was taking up all my time.

The 7" singles and EP's are their most substantial releases! IMO

They are! But I want to give time to listen to both sides of Supermarket / The Career Saver for example.

Ok, here we go again.

Candace June Clark (born June 20, 1947) is an American actress and model. She is well known for her roles as Debbie Dunham in the 1973 film American Graffiti, for which she received a nomination for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Mary Lou in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth.

I suspect checking out TYF references might be why I ended up going to film school.

Part one of a Chinese-themed double, this one mixes a falling-down-the-stairs bit with a more conventionally tuneful bit

Father Ubu Says

A song with lots of swears. Later on there will be another song to apologise for this one.

It's time to go go

The Opptical Meat Dress

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

This is one of my favourites, so many things happen in 50 seconds, that slap bass at the start. It's almost a Cardiacs song.

Hm I should get back to these. One day.

Anyway, here is the greatest song ever recorded. It sounded wrong on the Piggy Wings CD, so I fixed it.
