[Tim Subject: [idealcopy] from brussels with love Originally released on 20 November 1980, the deluxe cassette compilation From Brussels With Love featured 22 exclusive tracks from the front rank of the international avant garde and new wave, as well as several artists from the feted Factory Records stable in Manchester. Although the first proper release on boutique Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule, the catalogue number assigned to the project (TWI 007) betrays the fact that the early history of the label (and thus its debut) is a little more involved. The first true Crepuscule release was a deluxe cassette/booklet package, From Brussels With Love. Compiled between July and October, this stylish 80 minute compilation arrived housed in a plastic wallet and reflected current musical events in Manchester, London and Brussels during the middle months of 1980. In May Joy Division singer Ian Curtis took his own life, leaving the remaining three members to re-group as New Order, who entered the studio for the first time in June as backing musicians for Factory troubadour Kevin Hewick. Bill Nelson and Richard Jobson came into contact with Crepuscule for the first time on 27 June, after playing at a Cocteau-themed event at Plan K, at which Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column also performed. London band Repetition joined Crepuscule via Annik and (surprisingly) found themselves produced by Rob Gretton, while A Certain Ratio contributed a live track taped at Hurrah's in September, during the first Factory trip to New York, another cultural watershed for all involved. This remastered CD (2006) version of TWI 007 features all tracks included on the 1980 cassette version, with the exception of Felch (live) by A Certain Ratio, left off for reasons of space and in any event included in LTMCD 2443. A second edition of the cassette (also TWI 007) appeared in a standard cassette box in 1981, and a double vinyl edition (TWI 008) in Japan in 1983, with several different tracks. A final (and much adulterated) version of From Brussels With Love appeared on double vinyl and CD in 1986, but with only around half the original tracks from the original cassette. The 1980 edition, however, remains the definitive artefact.

That's 4 short of the tracklist below, 5 if you count the missing ACR track. Is the Phill Niblock piece a track unto itself, or is that the music behind and at the end of the Brian Eno interview? Mine also has Dream makers - Helen's Song and Gabrielle Lazure - Children's Tale from the 2-LP version. I know another forum where I could ask this, but I also know there's someone here who would probably answer it over there anyway ;o) sooo, are the French Impressionists and Pale Fountains tracks available on CD somewhere? - -Paul C.D.

Always quite liked that Haystack track that used to turn up on New order bootlegs...another peculiar artist I know more about than I ought to due to Factory, Ikon & Crepuscule/LTM Here's Kevin today playing in some ropey old pub, noones listening but the songs quite good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9rBj6W-qfs ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 02:39:10 +0000 From: Tim Subject: [idealcopy] Colin Newman Likes The Feeling but has he heard Field Music? Re-listened to The Feeling album after Colin mentioned he liked it. I've tried to like the LP as I like the general idea of it and I'm snobby about Tesco Indie, but its still not working in our house. bar a couple of tracks it lies the wrong side of mawkish (much prefer Captain for this sort of thing but maybe thats cos I'm a child of the 80s) Field Music however do a similar thing on their new CD, 'Tones of Town' taking that 70s Pop piano bashing thing (yer Gilbert O'Sullivan/ELO/Wings guilty pleasures thing) and a big dollop of prog excess but all done with Pink-Flag-esque brevity (nothing crosses the 4 minute mark and its all over before 32 mins has passed)..no guitar/organ solos...but lots of time signatures..in a good way. Wonderful stuff (Wire often mentioned in reviews...not sure if the band agree) ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V10 #9 ******************************
