Fades in Slowly

Smith on the left, me on the right

Amazingly, almost a year has gone by since volume one of my unofficial collaboration caused so many children to cry uncontrollably. I’ve finally cobbled together the following track after many, many abortive attempts to create something I’m happy with. Here’s what I had to say last time round:

‘Although more people get to work with Mark E Smith than would be the case of a member of any band other than The Fall, the time comes when you realise that your chances of ever being in the band are fairly limited. Luckily for the computer techno geeks among us, lord Smith has a couple of spoken word albums for us to sample from. I’ve been intending to give it a go putting samples and loops to a Smith vocal for ages and have finally completed the first track of what I optimistically hope will become a full album worth of tracks.’

This second effort is entitled ‘Wogan on Blanket Blank‘ and features another track from Mark E Smith’s spoken word album ‘The post nearly man‘, along with various royalty free samples from the SONY Loops and samples collection. The only person who could therefore legally make any dosh from this is Mark E Smith. The first remix was an upbeat rocker, while this one is a lot slower, more intense and a lot darker.

If you’re interested in doing a remix, please let me know and I’ll get the samples to you.

While the family are away on holiday and I’m left home waiting for the academic year to draw to a close, I have been spending way too much time fiddling around on the computer. Fortunately, not all of that time has been a complete waste, at least I hope you’ll agree with me, as I’ve cobbled together the following track.

I’ve been intending to give it a go putting samples and loops to a Smith vocal for ages and have finally completed the first track of what I optimistically hope will become a full album worth of tracks. This first effort is entitled ‘Chocolate tourizt findz art muzeum‘ and features the track ‘The CD in your hand‘ from Mark E Smith’s spoken word album ‘The post nearly man‘, along with various royalty free samples from the SONY Loops and samples collection, namely ‘Blip: Glitch Electronica‘, ‘Bradley Fish: Unstrung‘ and ‘Cinematix Vol. 1‘. Consequently, the only person who could legally make any dosh from this is Mark E Smith. I hope this will become viable because I also invite all of you to remix the bugger and do a better job than I’ve done.
