SÉBASTIEN TELLIER - La Ritournelle (chronovisor edit) [repost]

Hello all!

I wish you all the very best for 2015, and may the force be with you! :-)

Hard drive archaeology.

Recently I rediscovered the music from an outstanding French singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. This did happen because I browsed in the www for movie soundtracks, and there I found 'Narco', a french movie from 2004.

And I also am a fan of the music of FELA KUTI. But what relationship do have FELA and the today's artist I want to present you? It's the presence of the 'funky drummer' TONY ALLEN, who founded the real 'Afro Beat' in the 70s.

In the 70s and 80s he was the drummer in FELA's band, and in the today's tune his play fits perfect to the melancholic sounds of this French genius I introduce you today. I combined the session version from 2006 with the studio version from 2004 into a 'collage of sounds' I would call it.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

BELOUIS SOME - Imagination (chronovisor mix) [repost]

Festplattenarchaeologie:

Fuer diesen heutigen speziellen Tag (09-09-09) habe ich einen Song ausgewaehlt, der mich schon in meiner Zeit als Disc Jockey Anfang der 90er verfolgte, und der schon damals als ein absoluter Klassiker galt und an keinem Abend fehlen durfte.

Aber erst vor kurzem erlangte ich qualitativ adaequate Versionen davon. Aus dem Dance Mix und dem Dub Mix entstand schliesslich dieser nun vorliegende 'chronovisor mix'.

Listen conservative! ;-)

ENJOY!

CAN - I Want More (And More And More) (chronovisor mix)

Hi folks!

Today I present you a song from the mid 70s when Disco was Disco and even this to be presented very famous band couldn't resist to write, produce and play such a tune. I love it!

The song is on their ninth album, and the 7" they released luckily has an extension, where I could find my inspiration to give it a good length becoming a typical 'chronovisor mix' at the end.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

ANDREW POPPY - The Amusement (chronovisor mix v1.0)

Hi folks!

Einem laegenderen englischen music label will ich heute huldigen, und zwar ZTT (Zang Tuum Tumb). Gegruendet Anfang der 80er Jahre zielte schon die erste Veroeffentlichung auf die Kunst in der populaeren Musik ab.

Dass diese und auch die nachfolgenden den sogenannten Zeitgeist dieser Jahre so praezise und nachhaltig treffen wuerden, war nicht mit zu rechnen. Und auch der kommerzielle Erfolg kam nicht zu kurz.

So war es auch moeglich, noch extremere Kuenstler in das Repertoire aufzunehmen, die zwar ein Riesenpotential hatten, aber den kommerziellen Durchbruch wohl nicht schaffen wuerden. Einer davon wird hier und heute praesentiert.

Er schaffte die wunderbaren Gratwanderung zwischen moderner Klassik, 'minimal music' und intelligenter Popmusik, so wie ich letztere bezeichnen wuerde. Und genau letzterer Bezeichnung trage ich mit einem Stueck Rechnung, in dem alles enthalten ist; vom 'Yamaha DX-7' (zumindest gefuehlt!) ;-) bis zum Bassfluegelhorn und von den Vokalisten bis zum Sequencer - einfach wunderbar!

Was also lag naeher um diesem Song eine ordentliche Extension zu verpassen und das 'stereophonic potential' (schon wieder eine Wortschoepfung von mir) ;-) nach Herzenslust auszuschoepfen?

Nun, hier ist das Ergebnis.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

LAURIE ANDERSON - In Our Sleep (chronovisor edit)

Hi folks!

Das heutige Posting widme ich einer amerikanischen Performancekuenstlerin allerersten Ranges, die in ihren Shows visuelle und akustische Schoepfungen spannend in ihre Geschichten verflechtet, wie ihr Album 'United States live' von 1983 zum Beispiel eindruecklich verdeutlicht.

Die heutigen zwei Songs hingegen stammen von ihrem 1994er Album und wurden auch auf einer CD-Single veroeffentlicht. Ihr damaliger Lebenspartner und spaetere Ehemann LOU REED ist in einem Lied als Saenger und in dem anderen als Gitarrist zu hoeren. Dank jeweiliger Instrumentalversionen konnte ich mich ein bisschen ausleben und kann hier zwei reichhaltige 'chronovisor mixe' praesentieren.

In dieses Paeckchen ist auch noch ein Bonustrack inkludiert, der 2011 von MATT POP gruendlich runderneuert wurde und in einem schmissigen neuen Sound daherkommt. Meine Empfehlung: Absolut hoerenstwert!

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

PEACE ORCHESTRA - Who Am I? (Château Flight & Animatrix) (chronovisor mix). [repost]

Hi folks!

Das heutige Posting ist einem Landsmann von mir gewidmet, naemlich PETER KRUDER, der in den 90er Jahren (unter anderem auch mit seinem musikalischen Partner RICHARD DORFMEISTER) ganz ordentlich fuer internationale Furore gesorgt hat.

Dieser Song nun hat bei mir fuer Aufsehen gesorgt, weil er fuer den 'Animatrix' Soundtrack ausgewaehlt wurde. 3 Jahre nach dem Release wurde dieser Song gemixt, und aus diesen 2 Versionen ist nun 1 sehr schoener 'ambientischer' "chronovisor mix" geworden.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

MONACO - What Do You Want From Me? (chronovisor mix). [repost]

Hi folks!

The today's song is performed by the second band of the now ex-bass player of NEW ORDER, PETER HOOK. I only took the vocal version and the instumental version and made my own 12" version of this wonderful tune, an oldfashioned chronovisor mix.

Shalalaaalalalalaaa... Shalalaaalalalalaaa...

ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

UNDERWORLD - Bird 1 (chronovisor edit)

Hello folks!

UNDERWORLD

Bird 1

Bat bit and ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Roping in the wind
Are you hungry?

Do you know what to eat?
Floating in the blue
I hear you, your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you, close to you

There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better if I would
Have known those things

It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
That felt a lot better

It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
Flooding into the room, he smelt tire
He laid back listening to a fly

He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof

A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up

Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door

He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house

He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof

A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up

Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door

He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house

ENJOY!

FLASH & THE PAN + THE BOLLAND PROJECT feat. FALCO - Waiting For A Fascinating Man (chronovisor mix)

Hi folks!

You may have noticed meanwhile that I mix very conservative, and so do I with my collaborations. There are so many of them in the world wide web (some are innovative and good, some are technically great, but the most ones are not really worth it to listen to), and so, from time to time, when I hear two songs in the same time, which are compatible IMHO, then I sit down and make something... I do something... like this one... another collaboration. The today's one is from an Australian band, which sadly splitted up some time in the 90s I think, and an Austrian musician, who very sadly "splitted up" himself by a car accident today 10 years ago. At the end, there is a piece of music, easy to listen to and getting relaxed with, hopefully.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

ROGER DALTREY - Take Me Home (chronovisor edit)

Hi folks!

Today I want to present you a very well known singer and a probably not so very well known song, which has its origin in France.

In his third and last album from the 80s ROGER DALTREY made a very interesting English cover version of the song 'Cargo' which came out already in 1983 and was written and performed by Frenchman AXEL BAUER.

A 12'' single was produced as well, which is the base of the today's 'chronovisor edit'. My intention was to integrate the nice guitar parts of the B-side into the vocal version which makes the tune perfect to listen to.

EJNOY!

MC 900 FT JESUS - Killer Inside Me (Meat Beat Manifestation) (chronovisor edit)

Hi folks!

Today I continue with what I started late last year by introducing you to the magnificent work of MARK GRIFFIN.

From the late 80s until the mid 90s he did release some remarkable records, which also got good remixing hands on. Like this one today.

MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO gave the tune the driving thrill whilst I gave it a few cuts and edits. So, that's why it ended here as a very listenable 'chronovisor edit'.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.

RECOIL - Jezebel (chronovisor edit)

2014 ?   GET REAL !!!

Hi folks!

Belated Happy New Year to all of you. Hopefully your New Year's resolutions are still going well. Mine do - err... sort of. :)

Today I'm happy to present you a solo project from ALAN WILDER who was a member of DEPECHE MODE, where he replaced VINCE CLARKE, before he decided to start his solo project in 1986 and leaving the band at the end in 1995.

In his songs he gives almost forgotten artists a platform to be heard again after a long time. In the today's case it's THE GOLDEN GATE QUARTET. And if you listen carefully enough, then you can also here the wonderful voice of DIAMANDA GALÀS on background vocals.

In this mix I combined the instrumental version, which was released on the O.S.T. of "The Hole" only, with the vocal version to get a typical easy to listen to 'chronovisor edit'.

ENJOY!

Floyd Anderson.
