TELAFONICA

tanya has been working on some new dance works and did a bunch of improvisation things. the film she's made of some of it uses the scissor lock (marcus whale) remix of viceroy as the soundtrack.

our gig at fbi social is in 2 1/2 weeks, so we should probably have a couple of rehearsals between now and then. what is good for everyone next week? i'm thinking it might be nice to just do an out and out greatest hits set, all the songs that fbi have flogged for us over the last few years. thoughts?

i'm going to be putting together a booklet to go with the box set of sleeping with the fishermen and i was thinking that it would be good to include information from everybody about their thoughts on each of the seven tracks. can i get you to each send me things you think about the songs? anything about the songwriting process, inspirations for the songs lyrically or sonically, what they're about (if you wrote the lyrics), what you thought of the song when you first heard it in whatever state (if you didn't start the songwriting process), how you went about making up your additions to it etc etc etc etc. i'll pick out the best bits of all of them and compile them into an outline for each track. also, the box set has promised original, exclusive artworks - i haven't quite worked out what this will be, but look out for a request at some stage for the creation of artworks that relate to the songs!

The results are a million miles from the original, while being strangely identical. Hinterlandt turns the track into a loping electric lullaby, dragging the vocals through treacle and adding his own brand of multi-instrumental eclecticism. Genlevel pulls the track in another direction completely, converting it into a bass heavy electro workout, displaying his virtuoso roots in the 90s electronic underground, updated for today with wobbles, glitches and noise bursts.
