Notes:

Courtesy of the Stonecutter Archives is the second Mark Radcliffe session by Electrafixion.

Loose is a Stooges cover, which is also available as a bonus track on their album (but not this specific version; the one on the official release is from a live concert at Shepherds Bush Empire, 22 October 1995).

Radcliffe and Mac are taking the piss out of one another here, which is all the more amusing particularly with the ribbing about the syndrome where the lead singer of a band departs for a failed solo career and returns back to the departed band. The pity with Electrafixion is that they were going fairly strong despite middling critical reception, before the Bunnymen reformed a year after this.

There is also some minor tape bleed, and sound was muffled so some slight EQ was done to bring out the high ends.

Notes:

Courtesy of the Stonecutter Archives is this short radio session by Electrafixion.

It's just two tracks, no DJ interjections were present on the tape. Sound was muffled so some slight EQ was done to bring out the high ends.

Crash FM was a radio station set up by Janice Long in 1995 -- according to some sources, their on-air debut was in November 1995, which doesn't make sense of the context of when this session aired, so perhaps this was before Crash permanently situated itself for the duration of its existence.

Much like Electrafixion, Crash FM was not around for long, so it's tough to research anything about their sessions.

Any and all corrections welcome.

Enjoy,
