Timebox / Gone Is The Sad Man Missed another day, sorry! I had a major tussle with this first track because of the way the album it came from was recorded/mixed. The entire album is laid out like a 12' single with 5 or 6 tracks on each side so, all of the tracks on each side run into each other. Well, I wanted JUST this first track and not the one following it, which was mostly an old blues guy talking about what it was like in the old days, about 100 years prior to now. What they did was to just take small clips of what he was saying and put one on the right channel, then crossfade that into the next clip on the left, and crossfade that into the third on the right, again, etc., until the track was over, about a minute later. where it'd be crossfaded into the 3rd track. The big problem was, track one, continued a few seconds into track two before track one ended!! The problem was, I didn't want to just cut in the middle of track two or fade it out, it wouldn't sound natural. After listening to it closely with headphones, I figured out a way to get what I wanted and only HAVE to take the first few seconds of tack two!! Are you ready? In the program on my computer that I'm using, I can make the project take on two tracks so that I can line them both up exactly beside each other and then cut out anything from either one that I don't want. So, I recorded the song to a CD but ONLY on the right channel!! Then, I recorded it again onto the same CD but ONLY on the left channel!! Pop the CD into Mr. Computer, load those two tracks into Magix, set it up to work in two track mode, put the left channel on one track the right in the other and then match them up perfectly! At the end of the first song on the album, blues guy talks over the last few seconds of the song so, I HAD to leave him on there!! Luckily, they chose to make the end of the song play ONLY in one channel!! The other was completely dead until blue guy's second clip started playing but, by that time, the actual song was over!! So, I'd cut the one channel just after it went dead, completely getting rid of the second blues guy clip and then, once the first blues guy bit ended, and THAT channel was now dead, I could cut the rest!! The huge issue was that, for the previous decade or so, my turntable has not been able to keep pitch very often so, had it slipped out of pitch just a tad, this edit wouldn't have worked!! Luckily, it DID stay in pitch for both recordings and I was able to do my magic in Magix!! Next up, we have the entire fairy tale side of, "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake", as told by the late, great Prof. Stanley Unwin in his own language, Unwinese! I also added a song from the flip side, 'Rene". (Why they call her, Reenee", I don't know!) Next is a song from an album by The Smoke. This is NOT the band that was on Buddah around this time, it's the British band with the hit, "My Friend Jack", a song about a guy who eats sugar lumps dosed with LSD. Next, back to Ogden's for Lazy Sunday. I have no idea who Cohen & The Shatners are and always wonder if their name has something to do with the Star Trek captain. What the hell else is a shatner??? it sounds like this is a more recent psych tune. Maybe, some day, I'll find out. The next three tracks all run together, too, and are by a little-known Ohio band called, Pillbugs. I'm sure I've talked about them earlier so, i guess there's no more to say, at the moment. I'm pretty sure these three were on their 4th album, "A Buzz For Aldren". And, with this third track, we've run into another sitar-based section of the project. This next Wonderwall track is from the DVD of the movie, not the original album. It's a different version of a track that WAS on the album, The track by Hurdy Gurdy is just a sitar, tamboura and tabla piece. Following this is a very short sitar piece by Walter Ghoul's Lavender Brigade. If I recall correctly, this next piece is by a Turkish band whose name is pronounced, Eellesh. Then, we have The Rutles doing their version of George Harrison's Sgt. Pepper track. |

| Break-In Master Member since Dec 2013 253 Points | This version of "Grains Of Sand" is a much more sedate version than the wilder version that will eventually appear. The next track, by Summerhill, is a dark psych tune that eventually goes into a backwards section but iit's not the backwards version of what you've just heard. This leads into probably my fave backwards Buddah B-side! again, it's NOT the A-side played backwards!! It Is, however, an instrumental version of another Buddah track, I just don't recall for sure which one it is. It COULD be, "Mrs. Green". I don't remember the name of the other possibility. Following that is another Buddah non-album B-side but, this time, it's not backwards! This next track, by Moon, is forwards, but has a few of the tracks on it played backwards. No idea who Dillbury is but, it's a pretty cool psych tune. I seem to recall that members of this next band were in, or were associated with, Blossom Toes. |
