FLLR 021 - Her Majesty The Baby and mixtape ephemeria

-


Score this under the "miscellaneous" file...and a real score for the mission of Tape Filler on multiple fronts.

One of the Her Majesty tapes had a couple of Gilberto (both Astrud and Joāo) tracks, which I've included here.  You get "O Grande Amor" (2:03), with a bit of Stereolab's 'Underground Metronome' mixed in, sounds like a recording test done beforehand as well as "The Girl From Ipanema" (3:48) for your trouble, along with dialup/modem connection noises!

I also have the following sample excerpts inspired by playing, fulfilling my inner Razormaid.  All were looped in Adobe Audition's multitracker.

MC7-41 Ecnadnair (0:41) - Features samples from Electronic's "Getting Away With It" Razormaid mix.

IND0-50 Don't Be A Drag (3:45)  - I'm proud of this deconstruction/reconstruction I did using this Neon Judgement track, though it ends a bit weakly, and some of the transitions are a bit abrupt.

NS5-53  SugarTransTourHilltopDawnPump (3:16) - Another decowrecko.  Took a few of the tracks on this particular comp and looped them along with the "Mars Needs Women"....probably the best of the bunch technically.

FLLR GB001 - GaoBest tapes - Saint Etienne

  South Parade Pier, Portsmouth FLLR GB001 = Saint Etienne This first selection from this Maxell XLII 90 minute tape was recorded on 1993-03-05 at South Parade Pier, Portsmouth. Taper is abbreviated as YP, who probably recorded with a Sony TC-D3 DAT and Aiwa CM-30 mics.  GaoBest's copy comes directly from the taper. It's one of his favorites, he played it frequently before it got shelved and then loaned out to me to ascertain and compare to what's already out there.   This show is already up on YouTube, here, from  "whatdoidonow 1997 ", and my tape source doesn't better it. Turns out that my tape ran a bit fast compared to this reference, so slowed it down 4.67% or about .79 a semitone, so that it is the exact same 45:00 length.  I've also provided the original transfer so you can compare and conclude it indeed runs too fast. NOTE: this is not just true for Portsmouth, as it was pointed out to me, but for the entire tape, so I've also speed corrected t...

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

-
Image
My project for this part of the year is to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's the first set. Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (The Wipers) .   The description can tell it to you better than I can... looks like the taper/compiler had a copy of the Eight Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers comp. Hole - Over The Edge (The Wipers) [cut] It's probably not becoming to give any credence to any conspiracy theories about Kurt's passing but let's just say reading about the possibilities did pass the time for me one warm summer nearly 30 years ago...Amusing to see the guy still at it...though ...

FLLR 003 - New Order + ACR bits and bobs

-
Image
Our third post in, and we have a bunch of miscellaneous, simply -lovely- Factory filler for you. New Order end their Saturday Live performance (which otherwise won't feature here, you can readily find this on YouTube) with a tease of Smokey Robinson's "My Girl" - A1 Then the band, appearing in an MTV Tokyo interview when they played Japan in February of 1987, talk about some of their quite innovative and remarkable music videos - A2 A3  - Then the video mix of 'Confusion' is featured, which you can hear here (hear hear!) Or you can watch the actual video, which Warners has generously (to make a few dollars from their catalog) shared online. What struck me when I first saw this video (on the Substance 1989 video compilation) is that you could clearly see the name of the person featured getting ready to go to the show, at about 1:25 in, as this clip coveniently reveals.  ALISE BITIC.   And incredibly enough, here she is today, now ...
