FGTH Cassingles
by Ether 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Hey everyone. I am a one-time subscriber back once again. My post is in regard to the Frankie singles on cassette. I am in the process of transferring my entire FGTH collection to CD in mp3 format, but I seem to be missing a few items. I very much desire to have the UK Cassingles in this collection, and I did at one time have them after I downloaded them from the FGTH ftp that was running awhile ago, but I simply cannot locate them now. If there is any kind soul out there who has them readily available, I would appeal to you for assistance. Now I know that file sharing and copying is a hot topic these days, but I would assuage any concerns from those who are against it that a) I have spent 19 years of my life following Frankie, and purchasing everything I could afford and was available, and my Collection is 95% complete without file sharing anyhow; and b) that the items I am requesting are long since deleted and no significant royalties are being infringed with the sharing of these items. The cassettes' tracks are laid out as such that you simply can't obtain them any other way. Ok, end disclaimer. The items in question are: Relax (on Cassette): The Party Trick (acting dumb) The Special Act (adapted from the sex mix) The US Mix (come dancing) The Single (the act) Later On (from one september monday) Ferry Across The Mersey (...and here I'll stay) Two Tribes (on Cassette): 1:04 have sex with as many objects as possible [unlisted] 3:11 Two Tribes At Madison Square Garden 12:05 The Carnage / The Annihilation 1:08 One February Friday 4:12 War (somewhere between hiding and hidden) 0:28 war is peace The Power Of Love (on Cassette): 0:16 [oh fire!] 8:54 The Power Of Love (extended version) 1:38 Scrapped 1:08 Holier Than Thou 2:29 Trapped 4:10 Holier Than Thou 2:27 The Power Of Love (instrumental) [unlisted] 0:29 my uncle is a monster [unlisted] 0:28 absolutely obscene (relax version) [unlisted] Welcome To The Pleasuredome (on Cassette): 1:18 Happy Hi! (all in the mind) 5:37 Soundtrack From The "Welcome..." Bernard Rose Video 3:56 Get It On (even longer version) 10:59 Welcome To The Pleasuredome (how to remake the world) 1:05 Happy Hi! (all in the body) Rage Hard (on Cassette): 0:07 ['we have begun'] 5:08 Rage Hard (++ edited) 11:58 Rage Hard (compacted) (first 7:27 of +/first 1:19 of ++/last 3:11 of +) 3:31 Suffragette City 0:18 (Don't Lose What's Left) Of Your Little Mind (excerpt) 3:37 Roadhouse Blues (the short version) Warriors (on CD): 2:25 Warriors (sample-rated introduction) 9:45 Warriors (twelve wild disciples mix) 5:02 Warriors of the Wasteland (fewer lyrics) 3:57 Warriors (of the wasteland) 2:21 Warriors (monopoly re-solution) ['rats in a cage'] Warriors (on Cassette): 0:04 a matter of life and death 2:59 Warriors of the Wasteland [instrumental] 3:09 Warriors (of the wasteland) [7" version] 8:32 Warriors (twelve wild disciples) [instrumental] 0:43 we're rats [various noises from 'Introduced'] 1:27 Warriors [excerpts from 'Return'] 3:03 A Phenomenon Of Megabytes [rats in a cage] Watching The Wildlife (on Cassette): 4:20 Wildlife Bit 4 9:02 Watching The Wildlife (hotter) 3:05 The Waves 0:45 Wildlife Bit 1 ["One Bit"] 0:42 Wildlife Bit 2 ["Two Bit"] 6:24 Wildlife Bit 3 Also I'm looking for 'Use A Condom' from the Wildlife 12" Anyone who could provide these would receive my utmost appreciation and obtain Frankie God status. Thank you for your time. The Last Voice ------------------------------------------ ( d o n ' t b e a l a r m e d )

ztthead spotted this on the Guardian Unlimited site and thought you should see it. ------- Note from ztthead: I think perhaps they meant Fairlight rather than Fairline... anyone heard the album mentioned? ------- To see this story with its related links on the Guardian Unlimited site, go to http://www.guardian.co.uk Soundtrack of her life Anne Dudley Will Hodgkinson Thursday August 14 2003 The Guardian Classical music and pop are, frequently, unhappy bedfellows. There have been notable successes, though. What child growing up in the early 1980s didn't thrill to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, or John Williams' scores for Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind? "I love John Williams," says Anne Dudley, the musician, composer and arranger who has recently been made the BBC's first Composer in Association. "He's the best soundtrack composer there is. Minority Report is a fantastic piece of music, Catch Me If You Can is bright and jazzy, and Harry Potter is full of the most beautiful sounds. If he weren't writing for film, he would be taken seriously. It's snobbery: he's working in a commercial field and he's prolific, so people are suspicious of him." Dudley occupies a similar space to Williams. She is also a prolific soundtrack writer - she won an Oscar for The Full Monty and is currently working with Stephen Fry on Bright Young Things, an adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel Vile Bodies - and she has arranged for Pulp and the Pet Shop Boys. She was trained at the Royal College of Music, made her name with Art of Noise, the 1980s band who pioneered the use of sampling, and has just released Seriously Chilled, an album of chill-out anthems played by the BBC Concert Orchestra that puts the pop-classical crossover to the test. Dudley appears to give the pop idiom as much respect as the classical one she was trained in. "Chill-out music is selling by the bucket-load, and the BBC wanted to do a concert of it," says Dudley, sitting by a grand piano in the music room of her home in Hertfordshire. "As is my wont, I said no first of all, then I went into HMV and saw walls of this stuff, and was interested to see that Morricone and Mozart would be next to Moby. So I thought that it was actually quite a good idea. I knew that I didn't want to do classical music with a beat, so I looked at it the other way round: taking music by someone like Groove Armada and transcribing it to orchestra. And most of this music has never been played by musicians before because it has been put together on computer." Dudley's daughter Angela comes in with a plate of chocolate biscuits, and her mum has rumbled her plan of using hospitality as an excuse to open the packet and have a few herself. Angela likes Busted and Avril Lavigne. "She's not interested in Britney Spears, who she thinks is too girly," says Dudley, who has also arranged for pure pop acts outfits S Club 7 and Boyzone. "A lot of pop music is bland, and made perfect through technology. It's like baby food - there are no lumps. The surprising exception is Will Young, who is a sweetheart and quite eccentric really. He's entirely serious about what he does and he has the best voice I've ever heard. So now I won't hear anything against him." Unsurprisingly, Dudley's CD collection consists of a lot of classical music and pop that has borrowed from classical, such as the early disco sound of mid-1970s Philadelphia. "I grew up in a household where there was no pop music, so when I discovered it as a teenager, it was very exciting. Philadelphia soul was perfect for me because it had these wonderful arrangements with great beats. I had an album called The Sound of Philadelphia which I wore out, and I liked the way Barry White would combine orchestra with rich, jazzy chords." Classically trained musicians often talk about the liberation offered by jazz, where what is written is merely a starting point for the imagination. As a pianist, Dudley turned to the jazz keyboardists like Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. "When I learnt piano you played every note as it was written; that approach was ingrained. And when I was 16 I found a jazz piano teacher who taught me exactly how jazz related to classical, and how to use a structural education to underlie flights of fancy. It felt like freedom. I'm cursed - or blessed - with perfect pitch, so I tend to transcribe music as it plays and that reduces the pleasure of listening to it. But when I do, I'll turn to jazz now, especially classic Miles Davis albums like Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain." Art of Noise were one of the first bands to bring classical and the avant garde into pop, and they aimed to emulate the musique concrète composers of the 1950s, who cut up tape to create new sequences, with a machine called the Fairline, one of the first samplers. "Trevor Horn bought this instrument, which was incredibly expensive, very difficult to operate and sounded dreadful. So that's where our inspiration came from. It could only sample a second or two of music, and I couldn't see its potential at all. Nobody was more surprised than me when our project turned out to be quite commercial." Sampling technology has come a long way since Art of Noise. "Now anyone can do anything, can't they?" says Dudley, flicking through CDs of the Estonian composer Arvo Part, Ibiza chill-out compilations, the British composer John Adams and Will Young. "I worked with Malcom McLaren, who was pioneering in the sense that he couldn't sing, write music, or do anything really, but he had all these great ideas. That's common now, because of computers. I like Lemon Jelly, but they're not musicians at all. Since I've now been playing for about, my God, 40 years, I have to conclude that it wasn't like that in my day."

AW: [ZTT] Propaganda DVD - Region 1 or Region 0
by Hirschberger Karl 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

The Propaganda DVD is Region 2 up to Region 9 compatible, Not for Region 1. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: stephen kolar [mailto:stevefp88@yahoo.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10. Juli 2003 03:34 An: The value of entertainment. Betreff: Re: [ZTT] Propaganda DVD - Region 1 or Region 0 Probably more important to consider is that the Propaganda DVD is for PAL video displays, so even if the DVD was Region Free (or Region 0), it still wouldn't work with a U.S.-marketed DVD player without some sort of PAL Video converter. You could find such a player off eBay but not in a retail store in America (forget getting a stand-alone PAL converter - though the quality is superior, I doubt you could find a cheap one for less than $300). I think (but don't know for sure) that the Propaganda DVD is NOT region restricted. -Stephen --- keithwong(a)rogers.com wrote: > hello does any one know when the Region 1 or Region > 0 of Propaganda DVD - outside world would be > available and how can I go about ordering one, > thanks Keith > > 1 > > > _______________________________________________ > ZTT mailing list > ZTT(a)mailman.xmission.com > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ztt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [ZTT] Rotting CDs
by Robert Marston 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

I think you'll find that CDs (as in normally produced music cds) are pressed (rather than burnt) with the dips imprinted onto the thicker clear plastic layer. Then a reflective silver layer is added on top to enhance reading. Then a laquer is added on top of that to protect the silver layer. Then finally the label (artists name, etc) is printed on top. Anyone whos got Orbital's fantactic 'The Altogether' DVD can watch this being done in one variation of their videos. Howver I've never seen a product that will repair the silver side of a CD. Only repairing the read/clear side. >From: TheMgnt(a)aol.com >Reply-To: ztt(a)mailman.xmission.com >To: ztt(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [ZTT] Rotting CDs >Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 08:43:33 EST > > > The information is, in any case, recorded on the > > plastic so, in theory, if anyone knows of any kits to repair CDs, >repainting > > the plastic with silver should make them work again... anyone tried >this? > > can anyone recommend any good kits?? > >You got that a little backwards. :) > >The data is encoded on the silver (compare to a CDR, burned compared to >empty, assuming you have a burner) so patching the silver won't do >anything. > >There are kits which will repair the plastic if it gets scratched, tho. >When >the disc is scratched deep enough the laser gets reflected away from the >silver layer it's trying to read.

You got that a little backwards. :) The data is encoded on the silver (compare to a CDR, burned compared to empty, assuming you have a burner) so patching the silver won't do anything. There are kits which will repair the plastic if it gets scratched, tho. When the disc is scratched deep enough the laser gets reflected away from the silver layer it's trying to read. The kit fills in the crack with clear poxy or something or other which allows the laser to pass thru making the disc readable again. Cant recommend any as I haven't scratched a disc since the late 80s, but I have used the stuff with success. :) As far as your CD rot goes, I'd suggest making CDR copies asap. I really should do this with my KLF discs. None are rotting, but are of the type that do. -paul Currently in rotation: We're a Happy Family - (Ramones Tribute) - VA; Bongos Bass and Bob - Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Here's...; Pet Shop Boys - Release / Disco 3

Rotting CDs
by Juan Lopez 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

The worst thing about the whole rotting CDs situation is the fact that it is ONLY really rare CDs that seem to disintegrate... all of the Claudia Brucken CDs I got on the Island label are rotting... Charles is wrong to think that they were made as gold discs, they were originally silver but have over time yellowed and turned gold until the silver is so rotten that it starts flaking off. The information is, in any case, recorded on the plastic so, in theory, if anyone knows of any kits to repair CDs, repainting the plastic with silver should make them work again... anyone tried this? can anyone recommend any good kits?? CDs I have that are disintegrating include CD Singles from ABC, a US pressing of A Secret Wish by Propaganda (developing some very odd fraktals, weird really), any CDs from Polygram Manufacturing (bast*rds!) as well as a Human League CD single of Love is All that Matters. There are many more but I don't want to depress myself. Funny isn't it that it's only the CDs that are deleted or super rare that self destruct... Isn't it great meanwhile and moving almost back to topic that TCH will produce the new Belle and Sebastian album. I hope TaTU collaborate ;) >From: cdaraghy(a)bestweb.net >island made these on some sort of gold disc, no? > >i noticed alot of my old 80's cd singles that were in digipaks >have also 'rotted'. _________________________________________________________________ Charla con tus amigos en lÃnea mediante MSN Messenger: http://messenger.microsoft.com/es
