I wasn't too convinced by Bandcamp already back in 2013-2016 when I had my album uploaded there, out of all the categories (Electronic, Noise, Instrumental if I remember correctly) the only category the album actually appeared in was "Finland" which I hadn't even put as a tag myself but wa...
Man, you can sort of hear the music going all "this is the last part of the very last Mike Oldfield track ever" at 6:55 of the full TB4 Intro! Admittedly I haven't listened too much of his music outside Tubular Bells, but I still prefer Tubular Bells II to the original (and I find myself l...
Well, there we go ;) So yeah, if anything, the Betamax version of the concert might have some slight differences at certain parts, but nothing overwhelmingly better than the VHS versions. Or maybe, who knows, the Betamax version is a completely different edit that's not available on YT or anywhere (...
For some reason, I've never been that interested in which version of Oxygene sounds the "best" - well, the last "good" one being the 2007 version, even though that had odd bits of white noise in certain tracks (most notably the "bubbling" sound effects in Oxygene 1). Bu...
Even though I wish there were better videos of the La Concorde gig, overall tbf I've never cared that much for it due to the tracks just being taken from the albums without any new additions :P In fact, I really like the La Concorde single because it has unique versions of Equinoxe 7 and 8 (also hor...
... just also realized that the guy who stole my crappy Teo & Tea remix must have gotten it into Shazam as well, so if someone shazam'd my original download on SoundCloud it'd probably show up as "his" track on Shazam. Oh well.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HZIoNlDfYGUqq4jmdUyu265bBtZ9Zt8k/view?usp=share_link Used vocalremover.org to retrieve most of that track without the other audio from the video I got it from - it's not exactly revolutionary, but still pretty good and I've been obsessing over it for a while now. So ...
Thanks! Makes me wonder what the purpose of those other-language greetings was (and if it was common in other Europe 2/French radio things at the time). For a long time I assumed that the radio broadcast (or rather, the most common recording of it available on all the FTPs and whatnot, especially ri...
Bringing back an old question/mystery of mine (which I couldn't find after a quick search, I think I've wondered about it before tho'): As per the attached file from the Europe 2 radio broadcast - to me that sounds like someone's speaking in Japanese - but if it's not, and it's French (or some other...
Speaking of Gérard Lenorman, I tried running "La Belle Et La Bête" through vocalremover.org but his singing on that track's recording is so loud that you can't really get too great of an instrumental track out of it (even for the standards of the program).
The album "Everywhere at the End of Time" by The Caretaker (mainly its first volume) created a sort of a resurgence for the musician Al Bowlly, 75 years after his death. I think that if an avant-garde ambient album can increase public awareness for a rather obscure singer who most people t...
