Autechre 'Amber'

It may be slightly off-topic, but the subject of '...Wireless' seems to be of some interest on here!

So many are the discrepancies in the '...Wireless' discography - it even has its own Wikipedia page!

verily a tortured history .. all in the name of (US) 'marketing' !

Today listening to: Ultravox 'Original Gold' Disky double compilation thing - worth it if only for the more 'obscure' B sides...e.g. Keep Talking ..where does that track come from????

Hi Mark,

'Keep Talking' is a B-Side on the 12" of 'All Stood Still'

Thanks Garry .. one of their more 'obscure' and therefore interesting works dont you think? it doesn't sound like anything from Vienna or even Rage .. perhaps I should investigate 'extreme voice' more...

'Keep Torqe-ing' or 'Keep Talking' was recorded straight on to cassette during rehearsals - I hear it as a sort of distant relation to 'Frequency 7' by Visage, in that it's quite layered.

I'm not into most of the Ure-era Ultravox, but I do find that adjustment period between 'SOR' and 'Vienna' put out some interesting stuff - like the cover version of Eno's 'King's Lead Hat' on one of the singles ('Passing Strangers'...I think!)

Never heard that one although according to Wiki :
"This song is the B-side of single "Tar". This song has not been released on any digital format, and is one of Visage's most rare compositions."
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

There is a version available on here;

a cheap CD compilation that has quite a few gems on it, including the extended vesion of 'Frequency 7' which is the version I have on a Canadian 12"; http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=7053

this thread with all its links & discussion about td's "the golden age ..." album in its different versions etc. + some u-vox & visage bits thrown in is indeed very interesting to read & i can only hope that it will continue like this ! :-)

anywway ... coming back to this ...

well ... i've by now heard the full length original version & after about 3 & a half minutes it should have been over , because what follows then are jus' some feedback noises all over the place for about a whole minute ( ! ) with the rhythm track fading out very slowly in the background ! :-o

the radio edit of it is much better than that album version - imho !

now playing : some trax that i want to play in my next "alien disco" radio show on sunday ... incl. the hot chip remix of kraftwerk's "la forme" called "king of the mountains mix" ( *hehehe* ) , lots of different remixes of kosheen's latest single "overkill" & a few trax from vector lover's new album "afterglow" that i may incl. in the show too + some stuff by pixelh8 ( http://www.myspace.com/pixelh8 ) & hidden fortress ( http://www.myspace.com/hiddenfortressmusic ) ! :-)

cheers ! :-)
