Re: [313] speaking of sylvester... (was Re: [313] song id)
megatone was label that released a lot of sylvesters work, patrick cowley may well have been behind it (so to speak ;) the record you have there sounds very hi-nrg especially if ian levine is involved - he was a big uk northern soul dj that swtiched on to disco in the late 70's and then onto to what he termed 'hi-nrg' in the early 80's (basically a fast and cheesy synth-oriented version of disco).. -j -- www.suenomartino.net - Original Message - From: Eli Bingham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 5:49 AM Subject: [313] speaking of sylvester... (was Re: [313] song id) ...i wonder if anyone could comment or shed some light on an old 12 that i found the other day. i sometimes make a habit of trolling the used soul and rock vinyl bins in out the way record stores - you'd be amazed what you can find sometimes. in this case i was in the rasputin's in beautiful downtown pleasant hill, california. along with some $1 morris day and the time twelves (ahem), i found an old sylvester record. its a double a side 12 on megatone records, apparently based in the castro in san francisco. its dated 1985. one side is take me to heaven, the other side is called sex. now, its definitely inna '80s eurodisco stylee - cheap unsequenced drum machine programs and live synth playing. the production is by ken kessie and morey goldstein (?) with remix by ian levine (???). really really long tracks with typical campy sylvester vocals, but tons of great '80s synth basslines and over-the-top linndrum drumrolls to sample. the funny part is that take me to heaven is ludicrously fast for a disco record. i played it with house and it came in at -8, so i'm guessing its close to 140bpm (but with sylvester being the way he is, at -8 he sounds just fine). anyway, anyone know what the deal with this record is? who are these people? who the heck is megatone records? i've seen one other record on megatone and it was a patrick cowley production, something i-f would drop. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [313] We Know It - Wee Papa Girls
= Original Message From darw_n [EMAIL PROTECTED] = I dug up this old record I have, In House Vol. 1, Jive 1988 and it has We Know It produced by Kevin Saunderson, an absolutely ripping acid house track!! Also has Samantha Fox's I wanna have some fun remix by Saunderson, and three Adonis tracks... Anyways, I was wondering what are Saunderson's other acid house productions from that time era? the groove that wont stop is definetely acid house (and one of the only detroit 303 tracks from the late 80's i can even think of?) It was one of a number of acid house classics that got redone on the UK acid brass cd a few years back. classic acid house in a brass band style. can't believe it didnt start a new UK genre really.. jm

RE: [313] Ubiquity
well this list is getting *totally* out of control with regard to list content, but I cant pass up any opportunity to rap about roy ayers now.. ;) roy ayers ubiquity is his band which he ran from 1970 to about 78 or so, recording many classic jazz funk lp's for polydor (most ppl know 'everybody loves the sunshine' for example..) he started his own independant label around 1980 but it was called 'Uno Melodic' - he never ran any label called ubiquity at all, this was the name of his collective/band. Ubiquity records is a general current day label run out of san fran (I think?) that has nothing to do with my main man roy.. that URL someone posted was the one for them.. hope this helps, mail if you need more info! peace jason m Thanks for fwding the link to me but I still don't know if this is the same label that Ayers started up...I can see that it could be just by the other related labels and some of the artists This I got from another site: In 1970, Roy flew the nest, settled into Manhattan and formed his own band, dubbing it Ubiquity. An ever-changing eclectic collective of musicians and vocalists, Ubiquity's music could not be pigeonholed. Funk, salsa, jazz, rock, soul, rap - all were equal parts of Ayers' vision and sound. What really tied it all together was the music's embracing of the voice as an integral instrumental component. I realized the power of the voice - I knew jazz didn't get that much play on the radio. The giants: Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Smith, gained a lot of recognition even though their music was primarily instrumental - but it was vocal, too. People would respond to voices. I wasn't closed, I was open to it. I had people like Edwin Birdsong, who wrote Spirit of Doo Doo - he knew hooks. I had great singers. Dee Dee Bridgewater, Edwin, Carla Vaughan, Chicas... Roy Ayers and Ubiquity were signed to Polydor that year. Thus began an astonishingly vital and prolific period that would end 12 years later and yield 20 albums. So it might very well be the same label but Ubiquity is still going...under Polydor's direction? Onward to the Polydor web site to find my answer.

RE: [313] (Yet another) Track ID
I'll throw in a couple guesses. Carl's Good Girls is powered by a huge brazilian batacuda, which to some people sounds like a marching band drum corps. this is of course sampled from sergio mendes and the brasil 66.. Another minute, obscure possibility is the flipside of Meco's disco Star Wars LP (yes, I bought this when it first came out), which also riffed heavily on the marching band sound. funnily enough I always thought the b-side of the meco star wars record sounded like something carl might have done once upon a time.. j

Pandamonium AFAIK is Norma Jean Bell's label (she plays sax and has been around _a long_ time, ie the 70's) and Kenny Dixon has done a lot of work on the label..

Anyway... a few questions have been fermenting in my mind since then, mainly because the first thing I recognised when listening to this (at least one of the remixes) was the B1 track on the Andres double pack on KDJ.

I honestly find difficult imagine him asking 100k for a gig it was for NYE 2000, another popular techno luminary talked about often on 313 was asking not much less to play in adelaide on the same night (he didn't play in the end). its big business and dont be fooled. I'm not sure that someone whos plays records (well or not) are worth that but its all in the wallet of the beholder i guess. as well as asking 15k for a melbourne club. apparently the sliding scale system works for a lot of these guys. thursdays might be 8k, friday 12k and saturday nights might be 15k.

RE: [313] francois k and francois kevorkian?
yep francois has been around for a long time now, he moved from france to NY in the early 70's, started drumming with one of those old dj's like walter gibbons or tee scott back then, started dj'ing himself playing at places like the garage, etc. he produced a lot of stuff on Prelude and (i think) west end.. someone mentioned the body music track by the strikers on prelude, i think he did that. He has been running Axis Studios in NY for ages, Kraftwerk recorded Electric Cafe there in 85, Juan Atkins did some of his stuff from the Deep Space LP there too from hazy memory. Francois did a lot of great mixes including _the_ mix of problems d'lamour by alexander robotnik and of course the crazy percussive mix of TDF by kraftwerk.. he'd be one of the only guys from that 70's garage era still around and kicking! peace 5000 j i was wonderingare they the same people? i heard francois is a house dj but i know kevorkian did that remix for tour de france and im wondering if they are one in the same because a few people here on the west coast are confused? can anybody help?
