Thread: Radio Massacre International

  1. #26
    Steve from RMI here: Thanks for all of your kind comments and opinions. I'm stuck on last of 4 interminable night shifts and this has really cheered me up :-). Buy the Cuneiforms of course, and take a look at our webpage where you can contact me directly with any questions etc and order our self-released CD's. To answer your original thread question, do check out `rain Falls In a Different Way', and the Lost In Transit disc `Rain Falls In Leicester and Baltimore', which is basically a live version of the album which I think surpasses the album itself. www.radiomassacreinternational.com Thanks for your support :-)

    A couple of new Bandcamp releases:


    Rain Falls In Grey Redux

    Now exclusively available at Bandcamp is a mammoth archive set covering the recording of the Rain Falls In Grey album. This period was a creative highspot for RMI and is re-examined in detail over the equivalent of six discs of material beginning with a late 2005 session and ending with the final pieces recorded for the album in early 2007.

    The album concept emerged when in July 2006 Syd Barrett passed on. During the sessions shortly after his death, we spontaneously (almost telepathically) created a piece inspired by Astronomy Domine, and titled it Rain Falls In Grey after a line in Syd's song Baby Lemonade. It is heard here in all its unedited and undubbed forty minute glory for the first time. Immediately after this came the elegiac companion piece Far Away (which completed the Syd quote and was also a tribute by Gary to his recently departed mother.) This is also heard in its original unedited extended form.

    For the album itself we had to undertake some very heavy editing in order to create a dynamic and cohesive piece of work. This release presents all of the material of interest from these sessions in their original unedited form, including many diversions created along the way from extended abstract pieces to short arranged compositions.

    RMI on Broadway

    While RMI were in Bethlehem Pennsylvania to play NEARfest in 2008, we were invited to perform on the Bill Fox show Galactic Travels. Radio WDIY is situated on Broadway a short hop from the hotel. The show went to air at 1am, and so coffee became something of a priority. After turning up on foot to the nearest Burger King drive in and being given short shrift with our outlandish request for a brew, we were directed by some friendly locals to Duncan Donuts who were more than happy to provide, once we had finally determined over the course of several minutes what constituted a 'white' coffee. Then we did this session on the radio which you can now hear for the first time outside of Pennsylvania.

    I am greatly enjoying right now "Rain Falls In Grey Redux", but I am also glad we released 'merely' one CD instead of six....

    If I have Rain Falls In Grey and Rain Falls In Grey Redux, does Rain Falls In A Different Way offer anything unique?

    Steve from RMI here: Very good question ! Yes it does offer something unique. The cutoff for RFIG Redux is Feb 2007, the source material for RFIADW was from shortly after this. The only overlap I can see immediately is `Chainless and Beauty Black', which only constitutes about 8 minutes out of an hour or more. Hope this helps !

    Wow, what service! That's going on the list, then. Thanks!

    Also, I love the titles that you guys come up with. (It's About That Zeit)

    Is On Broadway a bunch of show tunes?

    I have Part III blasting in my office right now. I'm very glad this was released.

    Thanks so much for your positive comments y'all. Some of the titles come from me (It's About That Zeit being one example), some from Duncan and some from the type of random conversations which arise after a few drinks :-) `On Broadway' BTW is our humorous title for a radio session we performed in Bethlehem PA. To be fair the radio station was situated on Broadway, Bethlehem. It was too much of a gift to ignore !

    Ha ha. Yeah, I wouldn't change the original at all. We're very proud of it. Bandcamp's a whole different medium of course.....made for the likes of us who record hours and hours of stuff that it would be physically impossible to release !! (or impractical at the very least)

    It is if you use bitcoin, yet surprisingly still as unaffordable. Downloading 2.21GB of FLAC now.

    Wow - didn't realize there was so much RMI on Bandcamp - this is going to be bad for my wallet.

    Steve - are there any plans to release the Nearfest set - as d/l or CD-R?

  18. #43
    Re: The Nearfest set, I don't think we're allowed to...at least not without buying the rights. I have often thought to look into it. It was recorded as multi-track I think by the organisers, all we have is a stereo mixdown.

    It was a great set - it would be nice to hear it again.

    I believe that almost all the performances were recorded on multitrack though not sure about the licensing part - it seems like Nearfest Records is a dead issue so maybe not too expensive?

    Either way I'm looking forward to working through some of the stuff on Bandcamp.

    Hope Chad's post means it might see the light of day some time.

    Meanwhile I'm enjoying "RMI On Broadway" a bunch - thanks for putting it up.

    Still missing the 8-panel fold out digipaks, but playing Rain Falls In Grey Redux right now, 1 month anniversary of its purchase.

    I've been a fan from the beginning. In 1995, I read a review for their then debut album "Frozen North." Comparisons to Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze made me buy the album. I have everything they've ever released.
