I realized that I didn't listen to more than 500 records anymore. So, these records are for sale now. Most of them are "pop &wave - 80's" bands/artists, including many ZTT related items. If you want to have a look, go to : http://users.skynet.be/goedseel/sumsales.html The list is not detailed, please contact me for further information (tracks, mixes,...)

The extra seconds truly is simply a mastering difference. However the versions are in fact different: The original UK CD issue (CID 126) did have a unique mix which differs around the moment of 1:39... On CID 126 the vocals only go "It's too late, the decision is made by fate.", whilst on the original LP (and thus on all the reissue CDs) goes "It's too late, the decision is made by fate, *made by fate*." > "P-Machinery" > UK and Japan: 3:50 > Apparently identical. Also a tricky one: CID 126 had the exact 7"-single version, whilst the version on the LP and reissue CDs differs from that by some additional industrial percussive beats (like a steamhammer) between 2:31 and 2:44 (slowly fading to the end). > --James (Too Much Time on His Hands) Dawson > av578@lafn.org - --Joerg (A/B comparison is his fate) Fitzner welcome.to/the.pleasuredome However I must admit I didn't find those differences myself! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 12:26:55 -0600 From: Lazlo Nibble Subject: Re: (ztt) 2nd try: Heights of Abraham On Wed, Jul 01, 1998 at 08:27:06PM -0700, Mark Wasiel wrote: >> Can anyone please tell me: what has been released on ZTT by Heights of >> Abraham to date, what's coming soon, and how can I get it via mail order >> in the US? > > As far as I know ZTT hasn't released anything yet. cdnow.com lists the "Electric Hush" album as released on ZTT, with a track list and everything, and like all imports it's 30% off at the moment ($20). - -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 12:31:42 -0700 From: "Mark Wasiel" Subject: E: (ztt) 2nd try: Heights of Abraham > On Wed, Jul 01, 1998 at 08:27:06PM -0700, Mark Wasiel wrote: > > >> Can anyone please tell me: what has been released on ZTT by Heights of > >> Abraham to date, what's coming soon, and how can I get it via > mail order > >> in the US? > > > > As far as I know ZTT hasn't released anything yet. > > cdnow.com lists the "Electric Hush" album as released on ZTT, with a track > list and everything, and like all imports it's 30% off at the > moment ($20). Yeah, actually this just shipped this week on import. Supposedly, UNI is going to be releasing it in the US, but I'm a bit skeptical. Their support of the 808 State Best of was good intentioned (they wrote a great press release) but ultimately quite lacking IMHO.

Interesting Wendy & Lisa news item in this weeks L.A. Weekly: There is an advertisement for an upcoming show of Wendy & Lisa with Lisa Germano at the Roxy Theatre on Aug 12th. That in itself is pretty unusual since they haven't played in a long time. But in the ad it says: "Wendy & Lisa - GIRL BROS. - their first studio album in 7 years". Unfortunately, it doesn't list a label or any other information. I do a lot of new release music database updating at my job, but I haven't seen any notice of a new Wendy & Lisa album from any of the majors or any of the smaller labels for that matter. Hopefully, this will be the album that Trevor Horn worked on so many years ago that was reportedly refused release by MCA (was it?) at the time.

People.people.people Thought you might be interested in my review of this compilation, which was published in DJ magazine a few issues ago... Pizzicato Five - Happy End of You (Matador) Pizzicato Five's output just seems to get better. That said, this isn't exactly a P5 album... It was only a few months ago that I had the pleasure of reviewing Pizzicato Five's Happy End of The World on these very pages. Looking back, a 9/10 review was certainly generous, but it was one of those instant classics. Happy End Of You, on the other hand, is a remix album with new interpretations of almost all the tracks by a very diverse array of beat surgeons, many of which have been steadily leaked on promo for the past year. As always with a remix album, the results are very, very varied. Some you'll love forever and others you'll want to instantly forget. Automator's mix of 'Love's Theme' is fresh and useful on the dancefloor. 808 State's track on the other hand adds nothing more than a percussive backing to an original that was best placed as a quirky end of night cheese theme, rather than a mid-night groove. Mixes from Daddy O, DJ Dara and John Oswald are great for 12"s but aren't going to set the world alight as album tracks. But it is interesting to hear bands like GusGus, the High Llamas and Saint Etienne in control - the latter's take on the P5 sound is exactly what you'd expect, but quality all the same. But final prizes should go to Momus ('Trailer Music') and Daniel Miller (working with Gareth Jones on 'The World Is Spinning at 45rpm') who both use their remixing might to completely rip up the originals but retain their original quirkiness. 6/10 Ian Peel read.me in DJ MAGAZINE, ON MAGAZINE, THE TIMES 4D MAGAZINE, ROUGH GUIDES (www.roughguides.com/rock/index.html) and MY BOOK - FUTURE VISIONS (www.compbook .co.uk/promo/netguides/) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ End of ztt-digest V2 #49 ************************
