David Bowie - Breaking down Heroes track by track (MP4)

Thanks to the original uploader.

Description:
Breaking down David Bowie's 'Heroes' - Track-by-track
Ripped by Badvok

Producer Tony Visconti uses the original master tapes from sessions at Hansa Studio in Berlin to get to the heart of the title track from 'Heroes', one of David Bowie’s best-loved songs.

We hear the song built up by individual contributions, including those from guitarist Robert Fripp, Brian Eno's 'synthesiser in a briefcase' and of course David Bowie's powerful, harshly emotional vocal.

This film with Tony Visconti is an extended version of that on the BBC Four programme Music Moguls: Melody Makers. It closes with the iconic music video for 'Heroes', directed in 1977 by Stanley Dorfman.

Release date:
20 January 2016
Duration: 21 minutes

The last gig before reforming. Thanks to Egg_Crisis for sending me this recording to share here.

Setlist:

01. Walk About
02. Difficult Fun
03. Face Place
04. In The Beginning There Was Rhythm
05. Man Next Door
06. (?) True Warrior (speed fluctuations) [a different song to Ari's later song of the same name]
07. Bongo's On The Lawn (speed fluctuations)
08. Earthbeat
09. E Na Tu (aka The Marriage Song)
10. I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Cassette(audience,unknown gen,bought in Camden Market 1992) > wav > Groove Mechanic(dehiss) > wav > Soundforge(normalise L & R channels, speed correction) > wav > CDWave(split tracks on sector boundaries) > wav > flac(6)

This is the the last Slits gig (at least until the Slits comeback in 2005/2006).

There's 3 songs I've never heard anywhere else but this recording, so the titles are my own invention. One song sounds like it should be called "True Warrior", but it's a totally different song to the song of the same name that Ari was to do much later. If anyone has any idea what the correct titles are let me know. The final two songs are really weird, and a really bizarre way to end the concert in my opinion.

It's an audience recording, the sound is a bit distant but I've heard worse, and two songs suffer from fluctuations in the speed and sound a bit odd, but it's their last gig, so enjoy!

Tape flip on the radio stations copy was after Life On Earth (the DJ had to stop and turn the tape over).
This is from the realmedia stream. I've never found a higher quality copy, hopefully someone has a tape they recorded off the radio.
Track 9 listed as "E Na Tu" on the WFMU webpage. A version of the song is on the BBC Sessions CD titled "The Wedding Song".
From the stream for the show hosted by Pat Duncan, October 10, 2002.

Sourced from the WFMU realmedia(.rm) stream (20.7kBps, 44.1kHz, Mono, G2, 16 bits).

Very good audience recording. Thanks to the original uploader on TTD.

Apologies for not knowing the setlist Mr. Ka-Spel has released so many records that couldn't possibly know all of his songs! I recognized a few only.

Very good sounding early bootleg from the band, that by this time, still hadn't quite defined their sound, here still very punkish. Huge thanks to sam1 for sending me this one to share here in the room.

The second-to-"last" Love & Rockets show. Thanks to judgesmails for sharing this one on DIME.

Sound quality: A-

audience recording > 2nd generation cassette received in trade > recorded to hard drive > fades added and tracks separated using Cool Edit > burned to CD > extracted from CD using iTunes > FLAC > you!

** confirmed as lossless using EAC **

Original Notes:

Love & Rockets had made a formal announcement that they would be disbanding after their two Hollywood shows at the end of the "Lift" tour, so the band and crowd were all well aware of the significance of these concerts.
In fact both shows were professionally recorded for an intended live album, but some dirtbag managed to steal the recordings of both performances after the end of the second show. Luckily there was an audience recording made during both performances, and I was able to get 2nd generation cassette copies of each show shortly thereafter.

The setlist for both shows was the same as in San Francisco (May 6 - previously torrented). That show has better sound quality, but these shows have reasonably good sound quality as well and both are worth having for their historical significance. The crowd is noisy at times, but their enthusiasm is entirely appropriate and I can forgive all of their noise aside from the woman who keeps shouting "Daniel Ash, I love you, you have beautiful eyes!" That person is embarassing and annoying, but thankfully she only makes an appearance on the May 10 recording.

Of significance:
- "Kundalini Express" is cut short - it was that way on the cassette that I received, and I believe that the cut is original to the master recording.
- Janes Addiction drummer and vocal L&R fan Stephen Perkins joins the band for 3 songs during the encores.

Setlist:

1. My Drug
2. RIP 20C
3. 20th Century Boy (T. Rex cover)
4. Holy Fool
5. Delicious Ocean
6. Deep Deep Down
7. Pink Flamingo
8. Party's Not Over
9. Kundalini Express (cut short - likely due to tape running out)
10. Mirror People (slow / fast version)
11. Space Oddity intro. / Yin & Yang (the Flowerpot Man) **
12. 2000 Light Years From Home (Rolling Stones cover) **
13. Ball of Confusion **
14. No New Tale to Tell

** featuring Stephen Perkins from Janes Addiction on additional drums

In the summer of 2015, when announcing the upcoming release of the much awaited remastered version of their “No Comment” album due to arrive in spring 2016, FRONT 242 not only offered the unreleased RADICALG remix of “Take One” for free to their fans ( alfamatrix.bandcamp.com/album/lovely-day-remastered-take-one-radicalg-mix ), but also opened a remix competition for the same classic song as well.

Overwhelmed by the success of the competition and the several hundreds of remixes that got sent to Alfa Matrix, it took us much more time than initially expected to get all of these competition entries played to the various jury members and eventually reach a final top 3 of the most favorite remixes.

Today to thank you all for your much appreciated patience, we are proud to release with FRONT 242 the free “Detox Static” EP exclusively available only through Bandcamp. It features a remastered version of “Take One”, plus the remix work by the 6 (and not only 3!) first winners of the remix competition. Congratulations to AD:KEY, EISFABRIK, KANT KINO, TEFONIK, RESTRICTION 9 and DIGITAL 440 for being part of the “Detox Static” sonic adventure. And a big thank you to all of you who took part in the competition.

Enjoy this EP until we soon announce the upcoming remastered versions of several iconic FRONT 242 albums showcasing the band’s innovative sound in its best audio quality possible today. You will be able to hear these albums on vinyl and cd with the improvements or differences permitted by today's audio technology.

And 2016 being a very special year for both FRONT 242 and Alfa Matrix, you can definitely expect the unexpected! There is so much more to come... Stay connected!

Original Info file:

Originally, Bowie had recorded the album Toy for release in 2001 or 2002. This album was meant to feature some new songs and remakes of some his lesser-known songs from the 1960s. Toy remains officially unreleased.

"Liza Jane" was Bowie's debut single, released under the name Davie Jones with the King Bees. The original version of "Silly Boy Blue" appeared on Bowie's eponymous debut album, and several other versions of these songs were released during Bowie's early career including "I Dig Everything," "Baby Loves That Way," as collected on Early On (1964–1966), and "In The Heat Of The Morning," and "The London Boys," as collected on The Deram Anthology 1966–1968. A version of "Conversation Piece" was recorded and released in 1970.

"Uncle Floyd" (retitled "Slip Away") and "Afraid" were later released on Heathen, “Baby Loves That Way”, “Shadow Man”, and “You’ve Got A Habit of Leaving” were released as b-sides to Heathen's singles, and "Conversation Piece" was released on the Limited edition bonus disc of Heathen in 2002.

1."Uncle Floyd" - 6:15
2."Afraid" - 3:29
3."Baby Loves That Way" - 4:38
4."I Dig Everything" - 4:53
5."Conversation Piece" - 3:53
6."Let Me Sleep Beside You" - 3:14
7."Toy (Your Turn To Drive)" - 4:46
8."Hole In The Ground" - 3:30
9."Shadow Man" - 4:41
10."In The Heat Of The Morning" - 3:51
11."You've Got a Habit of Leaving" - 4:49
12."Silly Boy Blue" - 5:33
13."Liza Jane" - 4:48

Note: This is the track listing of the version of the album leaked in 2011, which is rumored to be different than the originally intended version.

source: AT831 (SP-CMC-2) > SP-SPSB-6 > sony PCM-M10 (24/48)

What a treat for a Sunday night! Lydia continues to kick our ass pretty hard!! This was intense and intensely spectacular. She is an incredible performer. I should also mention that Weasel could be a one-man show in his own right, and it amazes me how a person of his size manages to do what he does on a tiny stage without basically smashing the place and people around him into pieces. Also - they were all super-nice after the gig, everyone got whatever they wanted signed and all that jazz.

Now, I am a total noob for the occasion: I have not seen Retrovirus outfit before - AND I never taped at LPR - oddly enough. In fact, I have not experienced their ‘GA seating’ arrangement before, only standing, and the line on their website about ‘being escorted to your seats’ which implied I may have no choice (!) did not sound too encouraging. HOWEVER - when I arrived at doors-time - basically there were only maybe 6-8 people in queue and I had the entire venue of tables to choose from. I noticed that in addition to the usual 2 hanging stacks of speakers, there was one dead center - so I positioned myself in that very center about 10-12 ft from the stage so that this speaker is facing me. A compromise between being close and getting the sound right (I know I know - I just can’t be in the back..). And I think it worked! I have run into oddest sound issues in smaller venues lately - I think LPR sound guys know what the are doing!

Anyway - long story short - a spectacular performance. Buy the record - URGE TO KILL - and go see them live! I definitely will if I see them are coming to NYC again.

This is really fantastic quality, although there's still some hiss - I couldn't remove it all.

There's an annoying buzz during the last 3 minutes of Earthbeat.

They also played at the Venus Festival at Berlin Tempodrom this month, which has already been on Dime so I won't be encoding my cassette, which is a bit chewed up anyway! (EDIT: Just saw it's being reseeded right now!)

I don't have an exact date for this one, but to satisfy the mods that it doesn't contain any officially released material, should they want to know, the only officially released live recordings from 1981 are one song from their final gig at Hammersmith Palais on 30th Nov 1981, and I'll be seeding that next with that one song removed.

Some funny comments from Ari as usual. She really doesn't like the venue and she's not afraid of saying so!

Egg_Crisis, 2007.

Very good Soundboard recording. Thanks to Egg_Crisis for sending me this recording to share here.

Recorded by Terry Hammer.
From his youtube: "Like all of my live recordings this was mixed direct to 2-Track Reel To Reel using headphones. Sitting in the club with the loud P.A. sound trying to drive the amp in my mixing board loud enough to hear what I was mixing. If you've ever been to a live concert, then, you know how loud it can be. Mixed on a cheap Peavey MkII 12 channel mixing board to Technics RS-1500 2-Track Reel To Reel. Mixed & Produced by: Terry Hammer ; (p)1980 : Terry Hammer.

Sourced from the 128kbps .m4a from youtube.

An unusual encore. They start to play Grapevine again but Ari doesn't want to do it so they play "Instant Hit" instead, followed by the rarely performed "They're Fucking On Your Head" and then some improvisation with the Grapevine bassline.

Quite a nice intimate sounding, M2 from Toronto with a reggaefied Slits.
Apart from it being over saturated on the bass & the talking.
You can hear the taper walking into the start of the concert, so, I'm assuming 'In The Beginning' was played at the start & end of the gig?
Maybe they played two sets?

A very nice Japanese issue from the former DANCING HORSE label, now called SWITCH ON!.
The sound quality is excellent, and the songs are probably recorded from the original BBC tapes.
I don't think that the sound quality can get any better.
These tracks should have been on the never released BBC series Volume 2 & 3.

In October or November 1978 Budgie joined the group as drummer after Palmolive was unceremoniously thrown out of the group. During November and December they toured with The Clash on their "Sort It Out" tour which ended with three nights at London's Lyceum, the final date being on 3rd January 1979. At this point they were still the punk Slits. Then there was a period of inactivity which was broken in April by an announcement that they'd signed to Island records. In September 1979 they released a single ("Typical Girls" c/w "I Heard It Through The Grapevine") and an album ("Cut"), featuring Budgie, who had just left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees. Bruce Smith joined the band on drums, and they did a short UK tour to promote the album. People going to see them on this tour were to hear a very different Slits, and this is one of those gigs, Glasgow City Hall on 26th September 1979.

Originally posted as "January 1978". This date is too early.
If we're to assume the venue is the Lyceum then it has to be one of the three shows they played there supporting The Clash on 28th December 1978, 29th December 1978 or 3rd January 1979. Since the original wrong date said January let's assume they only got the year wrong and assign it the date of 3rd January 1979 although it could just as easily be from either of the other two dates.

Another request from Yonathan. Huge Thanks to ParafinSpobs for sharing his recording on DIME.

Audio

48kHz 16bit 2ch FLAC compression level 8

Source: recorded from the audience by parafin (AKA parafin@paraf.in)

Used hardware: Zoom H4n

Used software:
Audacity 2.0.0 - equalization, normalization, applying fade in/out effects and cutting

Entire fifth song (Darkangel) and the better part of next one (Illusion) are missing from the recording, I pressed some button when I was detaching audio recorder from my camera and didn't notice it for a while. Sorry about this, it will teach me to use the "hold" switch ;)

Caution: sample rate and duration do not match CDDA standard!

A 2016 new years gift for the friends of Steve Roach's music!

Hot on the heels of the Alive in the Vortex release, comes Live In Tucson - Pinnacle Moments. This can be considered a bookend experience to the recent Vortex album; it was created and recorded February 14 2015 (16 months after the LA Vortex concert) in Tucson's Solar Culture Galactic Center.

After many requests for a recording of this Tucson concert from attendees and those who viewed the YouTube clips, Steve considered how and when to release this music. With the Alive in the Vortex release evolving into a dynamic production that took most of 2015 to create, Steve decided not to wait any longer; Live in Tucson is available now as a name your price download, with a CD to follow in early 2016.

This 74 minute release presents the highest and deepest extractions from the concert: five nearly all-new pieces captured in a studio quality live recording. The flow of energy this music holds offers an empowering way to ride an emotional soundwave into 2016.

This will be an exclusive Timeroom-Bandcamp release for the time being.
A 300 copy limited edition CD will be released February 14 2016, to coincide with the one year anniversary of the show.
At that time the music will appear at iTunes and other digital sources.

For now this is the place and time to experience the Pinnacle Moments from Tucson 2015 as we move into 2016.

Original Info File:

This is a truly fabulous and interesting collection of early Tom Waits’ radio shows that includes music and interviews during a period of about a year and half; around the time of his first couple of album releases. Fascinating because you can actually hear audibly the metamorphosis of Tom from a struggling musician into a star. His singing style change is remarkable and his growing confidence is obvious. The earliest stuff doesn’t sound at all like the Tom we know and love. The change in his voice is amazing (smoking and drinking does take its toll, lol). Tom’s interviews are very interesting as he tells the background stories of the songs, kind of a pre-Storytellers thing. Don’t miss this one if you don’t have it. Enjoy
