There is an outer card sleeve with on the front a photo of two hands holding up the LP cover (matching style with the other twelve CDs in the series- Minimal Compact, Karl Biscuit, Sonoko et al), and a couple of short reviews of the record. CD package itself is in a jewel case with insert which is quite faithful to the LP concept, lyrics and all musician photos (it's *twelve* famous Belgians). Overall a fine package. It is nice to get 'Interview' on CD. For those who haven't heard Interview, it is a 12 minute rather amusing track with Colin rambling on about Commercial Suicide and stuff with a rather ambient backing tape. Here are some excerpts to give the flavour... "This is Music to while away the small hours -sort of driving music...Why is this man sitting here talking virtual rubbish over some weird backing tape?. ...I am times a member of the popular jazz combo Wire, some kind of record producer, and a maker of *solo* records... "this is in lieu of an interview- you have to work out 'is this man sane', you might have stopped listening by now actually, I'm hoping if I keep talking long enough you will have taken the record off, then you won't get to discover that I haven't got anything to say very much, but notwithstanding are you STILL THERE?...I went to Art School, coz I thought that was the best way to get into a rock group, having been influenced by the sixties into thinking that being in a rock group was a respectable thing for a young man to be doing, now I'm not such a young man I don't think it's such a good idea... "I was thrown into the hurly-burly of the mid Seventies, when my group secured a recording contract, and started making LPs, bits of which were quite good, well, I thought they were quite good anyway....I don't get paid for this- maybe I should, I could do a collector's series of disco interviews!..." The flip side of the interview disc is "Disco Dub Interview Remix", a very curious beast- a more uptempo backing tune with the interview snippets sort of cut and pasted in a dub manner. I guess if you want all of Colin's music you need the Interviews because they are *music* as much as anything else. Phillip from Australia - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

The sound here is generally very loose--neither melodic nor abrassive: I suppose dream-like will work as a very general term. One track has a repetive pulse going through it (probably Lee); the vocal track has Kim singing over music not much different than the other tracks. Their tracks (which are, very nicely, the 1st 8) run just under 40 minutes total. The extra tracks on the expanded Murray Street are all (I have been told) included here. Split single with Erase Errata: More a collector's release--a nice enough rock track on white vinyl entitled "Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyal Hand Cream". (Kim is a big Arthur Doyal fan.) Available from Narnack Records (narnack.com). Michael Flaherty ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V6 #216 *******************************
