wow! looks great! ill DL it when i get home
i love harmoniums
why is it called trio if they are four?

Cuz I think sir richard bishop was just sitting in with 'em for this session.

Either way, it's awesome.

Or it could be a throwback to secret chiefs 3... which has, what, 9 members? Haha.

thanks for saving me a vinyl rip!

according to the new wire, a small blurb says that Alan is working on the "last" Sun City Girls album, that they recorded in a studio before Charles passed.

This is the second volume in a series featuring rare singles and unreleased tracks from Sun City Girls, strange and disturbing recordings from 1985-1997.
"In the summer of 1988, Sun City Girls began working on two records simultaneously: "Torch of the Mystics" and "Dante's Disneyland Inferno". The former was finished and released in December of 1989 but the latter wasn't released until April of 1996. "Dante's" morphed into an entirely different record over those 8 years due to several originally targeted songs for inclusion being hijacked by other projects. Two tracks (X+Y/Frankenstein) were siphoned-off to the "Kaliflower" LP in 1993 and 4 tracks (1, 11, 12, 13) included here were released on 7" singles in the early 90's. The two most notable of the Singles tracks dominate this record. "Napoleon & Josephine" runs almost 13 minutes and was originally released as a single in 1991 (Scratch Records). The full track was split into sides (parts 1 & 2) running over 6 minutes long. An alternative mix which has been shelved for 15 years is featured here. "Reflection of a Young Boy Eating From a Can of Dog Food on a Shiny Red X-mas Ball" was originally released as side 4 on the double single "3 Fake Female Orgasms" (Majora 1991) and was 8 minutes in length. This extended version is the original complete recording running 22 minutes. Legendary Phoenix electronic musician and SCG associate David Oliphant mixed and processed the entire piece live to tape in his studio. The remainder of this set is composed of like-minded & literary SCG singles and compilation tracks, including the previously unreleased "The Weatherman" which was originally recorded as an introduction for "Napoleon & Josephine". This is the second of a multi-volume set of rare & long out-of-print singles, compilation, and unreleased tracks to be assembled and sequenced to play as full-length records."-Abduction

Anyone heard this yet? Sounds promising.

Yeah I got it a few weeks ago. All songs I'd had before except an alternate take or two and the Weatherman, which isn't very good. Definitely a lesser release. They have thousands of hours of unreleased material... they should release some! haha. But yeah it's alright.

Based on how good vol. 1 was this seemed like a no-brainer purchase but because of your comments I might look at downloading it first. Ah well, I guess any SCG release at this point is welcome though.

Trust me, vol. 1 is better by miles. :)

how's that? I love vol 1. but always kind of think all hte songs sound a little unfinished. I'd still give it a thumbs up though

yeah

"What do you mean he was in his own little world?"

oh this thread is bloody brilliant. thx guys!

No probleme..

An ULTRA-RARE, rarest-of-the-rare, rare RARITY from sir richard bishop...

"automatic writing"

Limited to something ridiculous like 5 copies (okay, probably like 500), this was an improvised thing he did and he released it a good year ago but it has never surfaced until a few days ago:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YA4UVW08

that one and _West Oakland Freakout Sessions_ (i think that's the title) have been out for a bit...SRB burned another batch as i missed out on the first one and i got my copies about 10 weeks ago...give him a shout if he's got any left.

yeah I've had west oakland freak out sessions, crazy shit.

didn't know he burned more!

I looked back a couple of pages in the thread and didn't see anything about it. Has anyone seen this yet?

http://www.vbs.tv/watch/soft-focus-s...richard-bishop

I remember there being a thread a while back that was about Soft Focus, seemed to kind of go back into the background again. But it's a pretty interesting interview. I like the bit about killing people with music. I wish it was a longer interview.

Big thanks though to everyone who uploaded stuff. Love SCG.

that soft focus interview is great; i caught that link a few weeks ago. i am looking forward to Ian's interview w/ the Melvins @ ATP this year...bound to be hilarious.

"...there's a good chance that Alan and I will have another band in the future; it just won't be called Sun City Girls."

mark prindle is down it seems

Hey kids,

Just wanted to bump this thread for all you budding guitarists.

The Girls liked to use an E modal tuning on many of their songs - EBEEBE.

This tuning was used on many of their classics featured in the first set of the Brothers Unconnected shows - Nyn De Gris Sang, Civets Tango, Vinegar Stroke, Space Prophet Dogon etc.

Sometimes however, their guitars were tuned slightly flat.

Give it a try and you'll figure out a number of tunes in no time.

Have fun!

Thank you!

Always wondered about that.

not sure if I posted this before
