Anyone in Australia? VHS - Stadium House
by brendan 30 May '22

30 May '22

hi everybody, i never remember this list exists until suddenly there's heaps of activity and then i forget again. this time while i remember, i also remember i have two copies of stadium house vhs i don't need and cannot play. is there anyone on the list still in australia that wants them? there never were many australians on the list but maybe somehow some are still here? i'm currently poor so i'd like you to pay for postage (but i'll go get a quote first cos i have no idea what a vhs costs to post these days. it's probably weight based i guess?) direct email replies are preferred. if nobody from australia replies, eventually i'll remember to repost and offer them worldwide. There's nothing particularly special about these. one is still shrink wrapped but that's it. everything on the tapes is available digitally already or on youtube at worst.

Space album with extended ending
by Mike Brown 28 May '22

28 May '22

I have another mystery from rutracker, thanks to the same gentleman who posted those fake promo CDs. He posted a torrent with two versions of the Space album on it: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5003797 Just to preface, I personally only own the 1993 bootleg CD and the 1995 bootleg vinyl. They're exactly the same, other than the fact that the vinyl cuts off the "10" in the opening countdown (you can only hear part of the echo of it). One of the items in the torrent purports to be the original 1990 CD, but it is in fact, other than a slight sample offset difference, an exact copy of my 38:21 bootleg CD from 1993 spurious clicks in the left channel from 0:26 to 0:29, and a click at 37:37. I asked on Discogs, and other people with this CD do not have the 0:26 clicks (I didn't ask about the other). So it seems he got my rip, which I had shared on Souleek, burned it to CD-R and re-ripped it, and is pretending it's the original CD. OK, fine, whatever. The mystery is the other version of Space in the torrent. It purports to be the 1993 bootleg, but it's certainly not. It's a 38:57 sonically processed version, possibly a vinyl rip with excessive noise reduction. It's hard to describe what the extra processing sounds like, but it makes all the swooshy noises (like the passing car sound at 24:30 and the ocean at the end) sound "hollow" and resonant. There's also significant added harmonics, e.g. the bassy part at 1:40 is kinda buzzy. The left & right channels are also swapped, as compared to my bootlegs. The real mystery is the extra 36 seconds of running time. There is a brief gap at the side switch around 19:00, but the main reason for the extra length is that it has a different, longer outro: the dolphin/ocean sounds continue for a bit longer, and to my surprise, the "whirling" synth sound (the one that's around 2:00) fades in for the last 47 seconds. So now, setting aside the strange sonics, I am wondering what the deal is with this extended outro. Is it that way on the original, official releases? And what are their running times? Mike

I'm on the digest so this might be redundant. I have three copies of this: - My archived digital version - this is most likely my personal rip. Around 20 years ago I digitized all my K and hunted down digital copies if they were out there. I didn't keep notes on sources but this *looks* like my work. I don't seem to have this on other digital - A fresh rip of my vinyl - because I couldn't confirm I did a quick digital recording of my vinyl - CubeFish's CDR of 004R I don't have the COMA release. Q1: Lazlo and Discogs says the Primal mix runs 5.57, but COMA version is listed as 5.40. Why? As the release doesn't have any times on it I suspect is someone's estimate of the length, which is probably off a few seconds. The COMA might run a little fast, or fade early. Looking at my three copies mentioned above, and looking from first audio to last solid audio (reverb to fade is hard to gauge so I'm looking for a clean point) they run the following: - Archived digital 5:47.200 - New rip 5:47.150 - CubeFish 5:46.661 With the reverb/fade after that last piece of audio I would say 5.50 or so is an accurate length of the track. So I would say the 5.57 is a bad estimate, and the 5.40 COMA version might simply be running a little fast, or, most likely, fades early. Q2: One of my biggest peeves on KLF music is how many people try to pass off their work as official releases. There are so many bootleg mega mixes called Deep Shit and some people actual believe these are the legit Deep Shit track (they're not). A lot of the stuff out there is just fan edits. I don't have a problem with this (I do it myself; editing the best parts of various mixes into a preferred version) but they should state this on the sleeve instead of trying to make your own work look like rare, unreleased mixes released on a promo CD. That said there ARE releases with genuine unreleased tracks. Lost at Trancentral, the Lost Trance series, Positive Void's releases, to name a few. -----Original Message----- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:05:16 -0700 From: Mike Brown <mike(a)hyperreal.org> Subject: [KLF] WTIL Primal Remix - slightly different versions To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: <20220422050516.GA16093(a)taz4.hyperreal.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 For a number of years on rutracker, a Russian collector has been sporadically posting rare KLF material of varying quality, some of it really good.

There are a few key features of this version I need to point out: • At 0:34 during the "door slam" sound, there's nothing extra on top of it. • At 5:14, at the same time as the "My God" sample, there's a trio of "tss" sounds, first in the center, then right, then left. • At 5:28 there's a truncated 2nd snare hit which sounds like an error. Meanwhle, the "promo CDR" guy's version runs just a hair faster, finishing ¾ of a second sooner than the other rip, closer to 5:50 than 5:51, no big deal. And for the most part, it's exactly the same as the other version. But at those three key points, there are some interesting differences: • At 0:34, on top of the slam sound, there's a pair of "sh" (low hiss) sounds, first quietly on the right and then very clearly on the left; in this regard it matches the slam sound in the first seconds of the Techno Slam Mix. • At 5:14, the trio of "tss" sounds is missing altogether. • At 5:28 there's no 2nd snare hit. It's not possible to construct the Primal Remix from the Techno Slam Mix, so it's not a case of this guy botching an edit (although I wouldn't put it past him). It just seems to me that there's more than one Primal Remix. Those differences at 0:34, 5:14, and 5:28 are just too major. Since I do not have any of the original releases with this mix on them, I'm wondering if someone out there can check their copies and report back on what they find? Thanks for your time.

Apologies. I meant to click SAVE, not Send. I wasn't done... Please disregard the earlier email. I'm on the digest so this might be redundant. I have three copies of this: - My archived digital version - this is most likely my personal rip. Around 20 years ago I digitized all my K and hunted down digital copies if they were out there. I didn't keep notes on sources but this *looks* like my work.

Looking at my three copies mentioned above, and looking from first audio to last solid audio (reverb to fade is hard to gauge so I'm looking for a clean point) they run the following: - Archived digital 5:47.200 - New rip 5:47.150 - CubeFish 5:46.661 (https://www.discogs.com/release/9972933-The-KLF-KLF-PURE-ART-1-004R) With the reverb/fade after that last piece of audio I would say 5.50 or so is an accurate length of the track. So I would say the 5.57 is a bad estimate, and the 5.40 COMA version might simply be running a little fast, or, most likely, fades early. Q2: Discrepancies between the rutracker and 'Promo CD Guy' versions: • At 0:34, on top of the slam sound, there's a pair of "sh" (low hiss) sounds, first quietly on the right and then very clearly on the left; in this regard it matches the slam sound in the first seconds of the Techno Slam Mix. • At 5:14, the trio of "tss" sounds is missing altogether. • At 5:28 there's no 2nd snare hit. I am assuming Promo CD Guy is CubeFish (aka Thomas) and we're looking at the same release I mention above. So, comparing that CD with my vinyl rips: 0.34 - I see what you mean. Looking at spectral analysis between the CubeFish CD vs my vinyl vs Techno Slam, the CubeFish 0.34 audio matches that at the start of Techno Slam. This is a very minor difference but good ears on catching that. 5.14 - Either I don't hear/see a difference or I'm misunderstanding. Is this right after the 'my god' followed by 6 tss sounds? 5.28 - I can't say I noticed before but that second snare hit sounds like an error to me - like a static burst. This is on both my vinyl and my digital archive version. When I look at the CubeFish version this is not present, but it's also missing that space in time. This either means it was edited out, or it's a digital glitch in the vinyl mastering. I could be wrong, but Thomas has access to genuine rarities so I sit comfortably on the side that anything coming from him can be considered genuine in it's source. His Lost Trance series most definitely contains new material (ie the extra verse in Go To Sleep). I'm sure his source material isn't from vinyl and more likely some studio DAT. That said I do see some small digital signature issues in the Primal mix (such as small sections are missing upper frequency, something you might see if, for example, you patches a CD rip with a section from a compressed source, but I'm not implying that here). So it's possible his source DAT (assuming that's what it is) might be slightly different than what was sent to the vinyl manufacturer for pressing. About the rutracker guy - One of my biggest peeves on KLF music is how many people try to pass off their work as official releases. There are so many bootleg mega mixes called Deep Shit and some people actual believe these are the legit Deep Shit track (they're not). A lot of the stuff out there is just fan edits. I don't have a problem with this (I do it myself; editing the best parts of various mixes into a preferred version) but they should state this on the sleeve instead of trying to make your own work look like rare, unreleased mixes released on a promo CD. So I would take anything coming from him as 'rare' with a grain of salt until you can confirm what release it's from. That said there ARE releases with genuine unreleased tracks. Lost at Trancentral, the Lost Trance series, Positive Void's releases, to name a few. -paul -----Original Message----- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:05:16 -0700 From: Mike Brown <mike(a)hyperreal.org> Subject: [KLF] WTIL Primal Remix - slightly different versions To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: <20220422050516.GA16093(a)taz4.hyperreal.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 For a number of years on rutracker, a Russian collector has been sporadically posting rare KLF material of varying quality, some of it really good.

Re: Who Killed The KLF?

I watched it last night via iTunes. It’s good. You probably know in general everything it talks about, but there some details that I either didn’t know or had forgotten. It’s not comprehensive, it’s only 90 minutes long. While it covers quite a bit of the music, it doesn’t dive deep into it. It’s more interested in the stuff they got up to. What might be unfairly labelled as publicity stunts, I felt this film was portraying those events are art events, that just coincided with the music. But there’s some good bits from interviews with Bill and Jimmy that I hadn’t see before. And the bits that were re-enactments were pretty well done. Also, Alan Moore has the best quotes for describing them and their antics. - - - - - > On 15 Apr 2022, at 16:39, Chromatest J.
