Message-ID: <p04320401b5bda6a101a6@[209.118.255.115]> Thanks to Mario for providing a suitable translation (rather than "transliteration") of the French FHM review of Wasp Star... I hope it didn't appear that I was passing off the Babelfish babble as accurate by any means, just adding some more XTC content for consideration. Glad someone on the list speaks enough French to provide a suitable English translation. Would there be any way to start a "CD duplication tree" of the Jules Verne and Golden Guts CDs? In the few messages I've seen bubbling into this list, it's not clear if those are authorized for circulation among the "fan club" list or not. We did a similar thing on the Jazz Butcher list with a couple of live shows that the band had authorized to be circulated, where the person with the master would make 5 duplicates, and send them to 5 people who had promised to provide 5 duplicates to 5 others on the list, and so on. The fee could either be blank CD media and postage, or a nominal amount of cash to cover purchasing blank media and postage ($5 or less). So, nobody was burdened with making loads of CDs, and everyone could share in the music for a reasonable amount of money. Dr. Relph, please excise the above if it is not suitable for discussion in this forum. Cheers, Gary

I listened to Wasp Star for the first time in about a month yesterday. Something very strange happened when I first got it. I think I was so cought up in the excitement of a new XTC album, that I just couldn't hear it as a collective piece, as an album, like I can see all their other albums. So I took some time off, and I most say, It's seeming a lot more cohesive to me now. In fact, It's one of my top faves now! It seriously kicks! Kevin Diamond

Absolutely sure. King Crimson has used a Mellotron for a loooong time,
and that very same guitar riff occurs in an improvisation recorded at
a live show on their album "Epitaph". Just before it's played, Fripp
comments that the band will now be performing an interlude on the
Mellotron, and that riff starts it off.
A quick websearch turned up the following links on the subject:

There's more, but they all substatntiate the fact that this is was
played on a Mellotron. (The Mellotron site at http://www.mellotron.com
is down as I write this, or I'd have found the reference there as well.)

I always thought that the intro was >Harrison on acoustic guitar. George was supposed to have studied sitar under Ravi Shankar in 1966. In reality that was a lookalike actor named William Campbell. The *real* George went to Malaga to study Flamenco guitar.... There were several bloody clashes over this is rec.music.beatles a few years ago, and I imagine it probably still raises its head once in a while. It is a Mellotron being played there. Remember how a Mellotron works: Its heart is a collection of tape loops. Pressing a key brings a playback head into contact with a corresponding loop: It's exactly analogous to the modern sample-playback synthesizer. The Mellotron Mark II came with loops pre-loaded on it--sort of like the Demo button on a cheap modern keyboard. That snippet of flamenco guitar, apparently played by Eric Cook, an Australian session guitarist, was recorded on one of the loops. (That is to say, you could trigger the whole guitar phrase just by pressing one key on the Mellotron. No fancy fingerwork required at all.) According to the web page at http://lin3.magical.gr.jp/~banana/beatles/bungalow.html (Sorry I couldn't find anything more authoritative...!) the same sound was used on King Crimson's album "Epitaph."

I once was engaged to marry a woman with ... well, at the time I would've said "musical taste different from mine." But that would be lying to myself. Her taste in music sucked. Her mix tapes were lousy (even tapes she made from MY OWN CDs were lousy) and the one concert we went to at her behest was ... Carrie Newcomer. Now, if there are fans of this earnest, stultifyingly competent strummer/songstress in this forum, I mean you no harm. For those of you unfamiliar, imagine Shawn Colvin with a plainer voice, less memorable songs, and an inability to muster anything resembling intensity or passion in concert. It was a trying evening, redeemed only by the fact that I actually remember very little of it. Maybe in another ten years, it will seem like a horrible dream ...

Just to put a finer point on this, stealing XTC material from when they were with Virgin is now stealing from Andy, Colin, Dave, Terry and Barry (depending on post-departure legal agreements and whatever other arrangements I know nothing about). It took them way too long to get there, but they *are* finally in the black with Virgin -- that is, they don't owe the label any money, and so the label has to pay XTC royalties from whatever albums/songs they sell on the band's behalf. Now, we'd all like those royalties to be higher, I'm sure, and they're obviously getting a bigger piece of the pie from their efforts now, but keep in mind that, by stealing albums and songs from their time with Virgin, you're still depriving them of tasty little slices of Virgin pie (matron!), which might taste all the more sweet, given the patience and struggle it took to get them... > I've stopped getting singles off Napster, but there are heaps of people > online with XTC demos and live performances.

On a somewhat related note, I listened to my newly acquired Fossil Fuel the other day, and I've got to agree with the others on the list who praised the improved sound quality.

Bliss Message-ID: <39987377.C8BB7114@tesco.net> just a quick one to escape the boxes. It's been one of those days. Having just hosed down the walls after the experiment with the armodillo, the trampolene and 5 pints of motor oil failed spectacularily - I don't want to talk about it thank you - thought I pose a couple of questions: Is there somewhere in Chalkhills where I can fine out what instruments are used? Secondly, I'd been listening to Fossil Fuel before getting Skylarking, and the singles on Skylarking (you still with me?) sounded a bit flat in comparison. I don't have time at the mo to compare - just wondered if it was me or the CD. By the way is the Skylar King is out there?

1a. Am I the only one here who has formed no airtight conclusions about this
Napster thing? I find myself going back and forth on this issue - on the
one hand, it can be used to copy music so that its users won't have to pay
the record company and the artists (like XTC). It's already happened.
Okay, so "new property laws" aside, it's probably illegal. On the other
hand, it does help expose the "legal" but morally decrepid laws and
traditions of the record industry. Help - I don't know! What should I do?
Anyhow, burning music onto disc has lost its novelty. Give me ready-made
disc art, give me silver disc bottoms, give me booklets! Keep me pumping my
money into the machine... (lowering CD prices by about five dollars wouldn't
hurt, either... I'd buy a lot more that way!)
1b. I wish Aimee Mann's new CD hadn't been housed in that cheap paper
sleeve. My copies is scratched and won't play in my car.
2. No Wasp Star for 1.5 months and counting. I burned out! It's "tape loop
brain" syndrome. It all started when my brother began doing grotesque
parodies of Andy's throaty vocals. Last week I began playing that little
bit of the "dear god sorry to disturb you but" melody over and over on the
piano. Suddenly it was three in the morning and I was pounding out large
ragged toaster-sized chords containing only a hint of the original melody.
Not a very effective exorcism! -- today it's back in *full force*. Anyone
else think Andy's melodies would fare VERY well as keyboard fugues?
3. The best XTC song (Andy) is "I'm Bugged". I once made the mistake of
playing this (in the car) at full blast and nearly ran myself into a fire
hydrant (at the instrumental bridge). The best "Colin song" is "I Set
Myself on Fire". I know, I know; it's all subjective and there's no such
thing as "best or worst", right? No, no, no... these are the *two
exceptions in the entire universe* -- it's some sort of quantum aberration,
I swear. These are the two best songs in XTC's catalog. Cool, huh? Glad I
could clear that up.
4. The song "Star Park" is haunting my dreams. It's like something found on
a wax cylinder taken from the wreckage of a UFO: "and some hair conditioner
too, yeah..." Is that *really* Andy on the rest of the CD singing in that
lounge vibrato? "Do you really really really really really..."
5a. Non-XTC content (as obligatory as its opposite nowadays): Politics are
very complicated. Which presidential candidate do you think would enjoy
"Wasp Star"? I'd say Ralph Nader. "Here comes president K... oops! Haha!
XTC content! Oops!
6. Misogynistic Rap, n'shi*!
7. The song "Everything" makes me cry.
8. Vee Tube: I've not grasped any of your ideas so far, but please, keep
posting! I look forward to your singular perplexities but in cases of
listings, then passably on my server when I load it!! -- ("as you might
say", ha ha! nudge nudge!)

Several things: 1. To flog that old misheard lyrics thread, I had on Nonsuch last night for the first time in a few weeks, and as I was singing (or rather, trying to sing), "That Wave", out popped "I was in heaven/dressed all in leather". After that rubber shark incident, I figured that one never knows what will make Andy happy! 2. Next, I am on a real kick to expose as many people to XTC as possible, whether they know it or not. So, anyway, I need ideas from you wonderful folk on how to fill a couple of 74 minute CDs: 1st CD - mellow, quiet things that I can play in the waiting room at my clinic, or during massages (an hour is a lot of quiet to fill when you're giving a massage to a 300 lb person who last bathed before Lent) 2nd CD - upbeat, poppy songs that I can play in the treatment gym, to motivate patients to work harder Must be non-offensive and non-controversial, so that lets out Dear God and Your Dictionary, among others, right away. I have some ideas of my own but would like to get input from others before laying anything down permanently. Please e-mail your ideas to me off list, and I'll post a list of the final arrangement, if anyone's interested. 3. My dad always told me that I have a right to express my opinion and others have a right to express their own opinions. If the opinions don't agree, try to learn something from the other person's point of view. So, I must say that I learn a lot from Chalkhills. Thank you, everyone! 4. I'm votin' for Nader. Or else I'll write in Ronald McDonald. That way, since we're getting a clown in office anyway, at least we'll get one that makes people happy. 5. If you haven't read Todd's interviews at the Chalkhills site, please do. Right from the horses mouths (so to speak) come the answers to many questions that have been raised here recently. Excellent interviews, Todd. 6. Since some of you have proven your superior knowledge of Awful Songs: does anybody remember an awful song from 1978ish, sung by a female and called "Telephone Man"?

One of the the books I have >(Revolution in the Head) says the Mellotron was played by Chris Thomas and >aped a trombone and a mandolin. I always thought that the intro was >Harrison on acoustic guitar. Yes, it was! Remember, the Mellotron was basically a big tape player, so whatever you record could be played, as long as it came in under 9 seconds. That tape sample of the flamenco player that appeared on Bungalow Bill was actually on a demonstration recording made in the mid sixties to market the Mellotron. My friend has it. It's a hoot! It has this really silly commercial announcer dude extolling each of the features. At the end there's this really cheesy lounge combo mambo/jazz piece used to show how it can sound just like a real band! What a riot. What we're used to hearing and what it came to be used for were the orchestral sounds. They are identifiable by the flat, taped sound quality. They were samples of various instrument players holding notes for app. 9 seconds (the length of the tape segments). Almost no vibrato. They sounded poor to horrible dry, so the users from the Moody Blues on had to drench them in reverb, especially the strings. Each tape bank had three tracks with three different sounds, and a tracking knob on the panel would shift the tape heads back and forth to get each sound. You could get a blend of two adjacent sounds. The thing is a trip! You should see the mechanisms involved! Also, sorry to disappoint you, but Harrison did not have the kind of chops to cut that lick. That was a flamenco player on the sample. Although I do believe that Robbie Krieger played the intro to Spanish Caravan, which is the opening bars of a Spanish classical piece called Leyenda. I knew it back in me college days. He studied classical guitar, which is mainly why he never used a pick. >I wonder if I was the only one to see the humor in Joe's Garage?
