Emperor Bokassa I Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Doesn't the CD also contain destructo-core trio The Beast Wing? Performing live with a one-stringed bass, an over-wrought drummer and a sex-accountant for a singer?I thought as much.But seriously, this CD can be yours and yours alone. Your individual copy that is. Other people will have their own copies. They won't be yours. Unless your friend has one and maybe lends it to you for a while.

Comptroller Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Listen, the Beast Wing track on there is one of the best. My current favourite 'Compilation Ultra' track is Gentle Hero by Operation MindKnife. People, you can own a CD that features both these songs and 13 others! Come to Donside, 14th April. What will it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to respect those locked down in the Beast Wing. It's about time they were recognised musically.perve REPRAZENT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Bokassa I Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Every one of those 15 professionally recorded tracks is like a sugar-coated shotgun blast to the head, motherfucker.Every band on there plays as hard as they can whenever they can. Which is always, OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato the Greek Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I don't know what and/or who Beast Wing are but they sound pretty shit-hot like they're from the big league (London?). As for the launch party at Drake's I can hardly contain myself - it's just a pity that Progerian Front were unavailable to play due to ill health. Also, I was talking to (Donside owner) Bruce Gatsby last night in The Glentanar and he said that every copy of this new compilation CD will be international standard and that the pre-orders alone are already enough to guarantee it will be Donside's biggest ever venture. Well done Bruce and all at Donside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. U. C. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Look. I sought reassurance on Beast Wing and word on Donside is that they are healthy young men who are merely enjoying the power and beauty that youth bestows in the best way they know how. Society and strangers judge them: we musicians cannot. Also they are clearly playing for their sanity or lives - these kids are to King Liar and the Brutes what the Pistols were to The Clash. Vital.

Emperor Bokassa I Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My heartfelt plea to members of The Beast Wing who may have gained Internet access in some terrible twist of fate is, please don't turn up on Wednesday the 14th disgruntled and hepped up on drugs and proceed to defecate on stage. Just please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 According to the Daily Mail, inmates of The Beast Wing are actually PERMITTED to have internet access.It's an OUTRAGE, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comptroller Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Forget Beast Wing for a minute, assholes. What about Bruce Gatsby? The man has devoted a lot of energy to putting this CD out, pick it up! Pick up the pace! NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirzbowski Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Indeed, Gatsby is a legend. A high-powered fusion of folk wisdom and shrewd business sense make Gatsby one of the most respected producers in the industry. I for one desire to shake the meaty slabs of his hands and thank him for allowing all this magic to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato the Greek Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Yes it is fantastic value. CDR heaven. Lo-Fi no die. I heard that if you buy the album using 5 1 notes then the member of staff serving you in One-Up will marry you, so that's an added incentive - unless the said member of staff has paedophile hair and you're a child of course. Seriously though, watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Bokassa I Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Good point.Owners also need to watch out for the condition of the folded band information sheet. It is printed on very poor, cheap paper and if not given proper treatment could well perish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plato the Greek Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 It is indeed a piece of poorly made, but delightful, ephemera. I hope that those who are buying this luxurious package will take good care of their purchases, because these babies are gonna be worth some serious cash in the years to come.

B. U. C. Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm just impressed that all those days spent in the high-tec, Donside-sponsored studios trying to counteract the digital recording equipment (which we serious bands use) was a success. Indeed, it sounds as if most of the more low-fi tracks were recorded in a car park onto a dictaphone. In fact that is analytically placed faux-fuzz intended to give a sound as raw as our heart wounds. If you heard the original, crisp and overprodced rubbish which some of the bands involved originally handed in you would think that we did not care about music anymore. Which we do. We love it. And you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plato the Greek Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Fuzz and a constant high pitched background trilling of inappropriate recording equipment is the noise of the future. Death to everything that doesn't sound as if it's been recorded through dirty air via a barely functioning Talk-boy onto a wax cylinder by a murderous degenerate working for the Romanian State Phonographic institute circa 1954. WE HAVE THE POWER AND THE GLORY GENTLEMEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
