Station to station yesterday. Last night I watched the documentary Beside Bowie about Mick Ronson. It was great!
Dunno, couldn't find any info on that prior to Pop/Bowie at Hansa, apart from a Tangerine Dream album mixed there, but that Nick Mason mix was abandoned.
Yep - you're right. I just checked and the guy is talking about Tangram (1980) and that most Krautrock was from the west ie Koln and Hamburg. I must have got the wrong end of the stick. However, Nina Hagen's record was recorded there, but not til 78. Maybe Bowie liked schlager! Wasted your time - sorry.
There are some aspects of the original mix that were good, especially the way Belew's guitar just jumped out on "D.J." But... yeah.
I'd really like to put something like this together as well. Would love to see the tracklists for your compilations.
I'll post them when I'm finished checking a few details. It's clear that a number of Re:Call edits are not exactly spliced the way the original singles were so I'm including anything I can where this is the case. I just need a few pointers from IdbD on Re:Call 3.
Thanks in advance. Bowie's catalogue is very confusing. So many tape defects, incorrect edits, not to mention mixing/recording variations. Every time I've started sorting through it all, I've become overwhelmed and given up. So your tracklists will be very helpful.
Wild Is The Wind, Stay and Ziggy are probably my favourite live versions. I was lucky enough to be there; a fab weekend. In fact, BBC iPlayer currently has a Golden Greats Glastonbury, hour long special. I can clearly see myself 18 years ago watching Willie Nelson, waiting of course for Bowie.
Yesterday it was the ZS Motion Picture Soundtrack - Audio rip from the DVD release. I perfer to listen to it this way as, for some (thankful) reason, it lacks the organ overdub on "My Death". I never like the overdubbed organ.
I agree, it's great, but the organ used to always make me cringe, especially since the song was (never?) peformed that way during the Spiders era. I'm glad to have it without the later overdub.
I wrongly assumed the DVD audio would be identical to the 2003 CD version, or is it the same and you are comparing the DVD to the original soundboard version?
This week I am back listening to the Leon Suites. This is night music. Actually very relaxing in an off beat kind of way. Dark and cool.
The audio on the 30th Anniversary DVD and the 30th Anniversary 2 CD set is different. There's no organ overdub on "My Death" as I stated and there are other subtle differences as well (as I recall - it's been a while since I compared them).
I've listened to the Leon stuff [which I had since November 2014] more than The Next Day and Blackstar, combined. My favourite Bowie 'album' of the lot. Shame it's not had an official release.
Finally scored a CD of Changestwobowie. Aladdin Sane and Oh You Pretty Things sound superb! There’s nothing exclusive on this album but the completist in me wanted it.
I forgot to mention, the DVD audio is also more dynamic than the CD verson by about 2 to 3 "points" per track.
