Now here is one neither known to the majority of the public. It features a track of that particular concert a while ago during which Fred Frith made a lot of use of a certain playback function. Awesome effect. He clones himself right in the middle of a song, suddenly or constantly. Howthahell he exactly does that timed so perfectly is any one's guess. Absolutely no overdubs here. 3 on stage, 4 playing! Two of them Fredful Frithes! The purpose of this? To stimulate interest, to encourage Fred to go ahead with a possible/planned official release. He once said during a casual occasion that he passed all the tapes to Tzadik, so they may do a release of the yet unreleased stuff in the shape of a box release. It's already a while ago that he said so ... Readers of the forum have bought the Henry Cow box, so it's clear what "box" means. And to rule out concerns that this formation plays "Ambient" stuff or falls in the category of "Jam Bands?!". What can be expected in case that Fred Frith makes this promise to the chazuke true? Quite a lot. With a dozen sessions plus/minus a few performed and only 2 and a half released on CD, you can count. There is some stuff left, a lot of it. Quality? Oh yes, all this kind of sh*t. Fred replied that, concerning these enormous source signal overloads which even the pro engineers couldn't handle, nothing can and will be done about them - you'll get what you hear. Isn't such a statement already music in the ears of the enthus*ast? Occasion to mention that the Massacre is a Meridiem spin off, yes, this way round, and that another Meridium album in the original line-up was promised to the mighty Percy Howard and also to us, so do go ahead you Massacre, it's all good! Sample to be played at full force, 10:00 ~. Same as seen before, this file must go after a few hits. Go do buy the box. The title "Hey Willie" is this track's real official title according to the setlist. Willie is the name of my best friend, and hey Willie, we greet you, this one is for you! Nearly forgot it - so here is the file http://snd.sc/JGzIaN ------------------------------------(Continue reading)
