11-30-07 Playlist

Since starting on my “Cassette Project” – one thing I haven’t been doing is generating a lot of playlists lately. The other night, I set out to make one super good side of a C-100 high bias Maxell XL-II-S cassette (but editing it on an MD). The program is something like 49:30, so it should fit with ease. All tracks (except Fay L.) from original vinyl. (not the cassette pictured)

ROBERT FRIPP – Breathless (from “Exposure”)

DAVID BOWIE – The Secret Life of Arabia (from “Heroes”)

PETER GABRIEL – Exposure (from “Peter Gabriel II”)

XTC – Super-Tuff (from “Go 2”)

ROBERT FRIPP / THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN – Inductive Resonance (from “The League of Gentlemen”)

BARRY ANDREWS – Mousetrap (single)

THE STRANGLERS – The Meninblack (Waiting for ‘em) (single)

GANG OF FOUR – Cheeseburger (Live) (from “Another Day, Another Dollar”)

BLANCMANGE – The Day Before You Came (single)

THE NITS – Nescio (from “Omsk”)

DALEK I – Eight Track (from “Cum-pass”)

JANSEN & BARBIERI – Mission (from “Worlds In A Small Room”)

FAY LOVSKY – Makassar (from “Jopo In Mono”)

With the exception of the Fay Lovsky track, I tried to pick cuts that I either never used or hadn’t used in ages – for a “Various Artist” tape/MD. I frequently use “Makassar” to add 1:17 to anything.

I recently got the 2CD of “Exposure” by Robert Fripp – hence some of that turning up here – I will write about Mr. Fripp early in 2008. Mr. Fripp is the guitarist on the David Bowie cut, and he produced the Peter Gabriel cut. Barry Andrews was XTC’s keyboard player on their first two albums – and he also worked as a solo act and for Mr. Fripp.

The cassette side was dubbed in real time – alas, with “auto record level”; Dolby C.

It's raining!
