Judy Dyble & Tim Bowness: Grey October Day (TiNA remix #1, Version D)

Nadim's latest effort. Very close to the final mix now. I have a recording session booked for tomorrow which may well result in the final element needed. Watch this space...

eeek!

Yes. Be scared, Judy. Very soon you'll have to listen to it too.

The 'Grey October Day' TiNA remix saxloop session is complete. Here is the complete unedited session, with all improvised takes playing simultaneously. Somehow I doubt this gives ANY indication of how audio from this session might be used in the final mix!

Extra special thanks to Simon McCabe for the reedsmanship.

You will be sending this in for consideration won't you? 

'Oh dearie me' - very apt last words

[owen]

I tell you what, Judy. I'll send it in for official contention if you guarantee its release on the vinyl pressing.  

Though perhaps it can't really be considered a remix without containing ANY elements of the original song!

"Oh dearie me" indeed!

fwiw some of these sounds (unmutitracked and Nadimified) may end up on the official TiNA remix, but possibly not any of them. We'll all know by the end of the week, I guess.  

He is an awesome sax player though, and only 19 years old.

John Cale Caribbean Sunset

In the second half of the 70s and first half of the 80s, John Cale's life was out of control with drugs and alcohol.  However, while his output was a bit ... erratic, in it, I think he produced his best album (Music for a New Society), and a whole slew of really great ones, including CS.  (I'll admit the last album before he went sober, Artificial Intelligence, isn't very good.)  Unfortunately for me, Cale himself hates CS, and it didn't sell well, resulting in it not being releaed, ever, on CD.

While listening to a CDR burned from vinyl, I had two thoughts:

1.  Although the instrumentation is very 1983, these songs are still relevant today, and this is an unjustly overlooked album, and

2.  Vinyl sucks, and the resurgence of its popularity (which is over-exaggerated by comparing sales to the falling CDs) and claims of superior sound are nothing but nostalgia and affectation.

I have a few students who are very into vinyl records, including one who has actually been holding regular meetings of "The Vinyl Club" (and yes, that's LP's, not fetish wear).  I always give them a hard time about it, and tell them that if they were old enough to have actually lived through the vinyl era, they wouldn't think LPs were so hot.  When they ask me what I don't like about vinyl, I usually say something like " ....kkkKKKHHHhhhh.....kkkKKKKHHHH,...well...kkkkKKKKKhhhh....kkkKKKHHhhh ...there's...."

[Michael]

In addition to the clicks and pops, it always sounds like someone has put a sheet over the speaker or something.

I'm not an audio-snob, but I like vinyl.

I'm not an audio snob, but I like CDs.

Each has its pluses... and minuses.

[scorched earth]

Besides being impractical in the Phoenix summer heat, and the pops and clicks, I think what I dislike the most is changing sides every 20 minutes. But I do like listening to LPs of mine that are in good shape, it's a nice, warm, nostalgic sound.

Though I wouldn't buy them that way, Neil Young's reasoning for releasing these on vinyl first doesn't seem that screwy:

Neil Young has revealed plans to release four lost albums that have been in storage since the 1970s as part of his upcoming 'Archives Volume 2' series. According to Young's official website, long-buried studio projects like 'Homegrown', 'Oceanside-Countryside' and 'Chrome Dreams', plus 'Odeon-Budokan Live' -- a concert album recorded with Crazy Horse in England and Japan in 1976 -- will initially be issued on vinyl from analog masters.

'Homegrown,' which Young once called "the darker side of 'Harvest'" because of its personal nature, was supplanted by 1975's 'Tonight's the Night.' Likewise, 'Chrome Dreams' was dropped in 1977 for 'American Stars 'n Bars.' According to his site, Young plans to first unveil these efforts on vinyl because "they were originally created for that format."

Found the above when looking for article about Ben Keith, best known for playing steel guitar for NY, who died last Sunday.

Judy Dyble & Tim Bowness: Grey October Day (TiNA's Drift Away mix)

Two slightly different final versions *finally* completed (neither of which use anything from the above saxloop session).

Nadim is a genius, and it is an absolute pleasure to be working with him.

Now to see if anyone else likes what we've done.

Here is a brief unused saxloop from the Judy Dyble "Grey October Day" TiNA remix project...

This first of three planned saxloops was created from the opening phrase of the saxophone solo in the original song. We decided against using it, and tried to create our own samples with Simon McCabe from which to make loops. The other two planned saxloops didn't even get made, and nothing from Simon's session made the final cut either.
