Subject: (ztt) Records for sale

Dear all,

I decided to proceed with a "summer cleaning" of my record collection.
I realized that I didn't listen to more than 500 records anymore.
So, these records are for sale now.
Most of them are "pop &wave - 80's" bands/artists, including many ZTT
related items.

If you want to have a look, go to :

http://users.skynet.be/goedseel/sumsales.html

The list is not detailed, please contact me for further information
(tracks, mixes,...)

Regards,

Emmanuel

The extra seconds truly is simply a mastering difference.  However the
versions are in fact different:
The original UK CD issue (CID 126) did have a unique mix which differs
around the moment of 1:39...
On CID 126 the vocals only go "It's too late, the decision is made by
fate.", whilst on the original LP (and thus on all the reissue CDs)
goes "It's too late, the decision is made by fate, *made by fate*."

> UK and Japan: 3:50
> Apparently identical.

Also a tricky one:  CID 126 had the exact 7"-single version, whilst
the version on the LP and reissue CDs differs from that by some
additional industrial percussive beats (like a steamhammer) between
2:31 and 2:44 (slowly fading to the end).

However I must admit I didn't find those differences myself!

cdnow.com lists the "Electric Hush" album as released on ZTT, with a track
list and everything, and like all imports it's 30% off at the moment ($20).

Yeah, actually this just shipped this week on import.  Supposedly, UNI is
going to be releasing it in the US, but I'm a bit skeptical.  Their support
of the 808 State Best of was good intentioned (they wrote a great press
release) but ultimately quite lacking IMHO.

Subject: (ztt) Wendy & Lisa album finally to be released???

Interesting Wendy & Lisa news item in this weeks L.A. Weekly:

There is an advertisement for an upcoming show of Wendy & Lisa with Lisa
Germano at the Roxy Theatre on Aug 12th.  That in itself is pretty unusual
since they haven't played in a long time.  But in the ad it says: "Wendy &
Lisa - GIRL BROS. - their first studio album in 7 years".

Unfortunately, it doesn't list a label or any other information.  I do a lot
of new release music database updating at my job, but I haven't seen any
notice of a new Wendy & Lisa album from any of the majors or any of the
smaller labels for that matter.  Hopefully, this will be the album that
Trevor Horn worked on so many years ago that was reportedly refused release
by MCA (was it?) at the time.

Subject: Re: (ztt) New Pizzicato Five Compilation

>The remix compilation of PF is now released incl. 808 State mix.

People.people.people

Thought you might be interested in my review of this compilation, which
was published in DJ magazine a few issues ago...

Pizzicato Five - Happy End of You
(Matador)
Pizzicato Five's output just seems to get better.  That said, this isn't
exactly a P5 album...  It was only a few months ago that I had the
pleasure of reviewing Pizzicato Five's Happy End of The World on these
very pages.  Looking back, a 9/10 review was certainly generous, but it
was one of those instant classics.  Happy End Of You, on the other hand,
is a remix album with new interpretations of almost all the tracks by a
very diverse array of beat surgeons, many of which have been steadily
leaked on promo for the past year.
As always with a remix album, the results are very, very varied.  Some
you'll love forever and others you'll want to instantly forget.
Automator's mix of 'Love's Theme' is fresh and useful on the dancefloor.
808 State's track on the other hand adds nothing more than a percussive
backing to an original that was best placed as a quirky end of night
cheese theme, rather than a mid-night groove.  Mixes from Daddy O, DJ
Dara and John Oswald are great for 12"s but aren't going to set the
world alight as album tracks.  But it is interesting to hear bands like
GusGus, the High Llamas and Saint Etienne in control - the latter's take
on the P5 sound is exactly what you'd expect, but quality all the same.
But final prizes should go to Momus ('Trailer Music') and Daniel Miller
(working with Gareth Jones on 'The World Is Spinning at 45rpm') who both
use their remixing might to completely rip up the originals but retain
their original quirkiness.
6/10
