Cardiacs--where to start?

[PeterG]

I think that's Craig F at the back looking increasingly Tim-like.

Tell me about it. Looking at the still I thought that was Tim

[PeterG]

Tim Q died after Maresnest was filmed.

I thought that end tribute was just a bit of fun and only meaning that he left the band not the mortal realm!

[Kavus Torabi]

Tim Quy was in the audience.

Sigh

*whispers* I know. Mythology innit?

I think he's actually the big fella in the Cardiacs shirt, but i could be wrong. He's changed a lot in 25 years who woulda thunk.

It was a lovely afternoon / evening.

The Tim Smith tunes I remember being played were:

'Sleep All Eyes Open' (Guns) by Ham Legion,
'Vine' (Spratleys Japs) by Heavy Lamb
'Ocean Shipwreck' (OceanLandWorld) by Redbus Noface
'To My Piano from Mr Drake' (Mr & Mrs Smith and Mr Drake) by William D Drake and his so called friends
'Home Of Fadeless Splendour' (Heaven Born & Ever Bright) by lots of people who had played that day or involved in some way or another.

Thanks richard. I'd have loved to have seen/heard Ocean Shipwreck!

This reminds me i still haven't bought a copy of the Redbus Noface album. It's bloody brilliant.

[NogbadTheBad]

I need that Redbus Noface

Question for Kavus: Who played the Keyboard parts on Garage Concerts?? Did Tim Play them pre-recorded? Revisited this lovely piece of history and loved every note. History was beheld by my damp ears

[smcfee]

OK, gang. There's your answer about when Day Is Gone will ship to us.

la la la la la la la la la la la la all Kavus' fault la la la la la la la not mine no la la la la la la la

I guess if it comes with a Knifeworld then it's ok.

I was actually gonna ask about this, 'cause no one seems to talk about it. Thoughts? I like the samples on the site.

[PeterG]

*whispers* I know. Mythology innit?

Sorry! I've met too many people over the years, that think it's true. So I'm always wary.

[PeterG]

I need that Redbus Noface

You and me both! MUST purchase!

It was always referred to as 'Bill in a box' which might explain who did them. I do like the fact they used ancient sounding midi-type keyboard parts during the live set rather than modernising them. Having said that the big washes of keys during the likes of Everso... and Hope Day always sounded incredible live.

buy Whatever and wherever you can...

Yeah^, just missed off Ditzy Scene which came out in 2007 i believe.

Listening to the DS ep now (download copy). All three tracks are excellent, although Made All Up took me a while to warm to for some strange reason.

I can't help but wonder how representative these songs were in relation to LSD.

In this interview, Tim previews a few snippets from LSD:

Sums everything right up!

[chalkpie]

That's great!

[PeterG]

Brilliant, whoever made that needs psychological attention. HOWEVER, just between the Dreamy Sequence and Incredible Guitar Riff, I want "menacing silence interspered with aged female Smith relative talking, croaking and cackling"

[zombywoof]

So basically, "Duck and Roger the Horse".

[at least 100 dead]

Brilliant, whoever made that needs psychological attention.

What’s worrisome is that there’s someone out there who has nearly attained your platinum level of Cardiacs obsession.

[Mr.Flower]

OOOOH! News from the ABC about Guns released on lovely vinyl in the near future!!!!

[PeterG]

What’s worrisome is that there’s someone out there who has nearly attained your platinum level of Cardiacs obsession.

There are a few that are more obsessed than I am, I know 'cos I've met them Also, I'm already receiving psychological attention.

BTW, anyone remember the name of the guy who wrote his own biog type book of attending over a hundred Cardiacs gigs?

[PeterG]

What I am currently working on is a Pete Frame style interconnected boxes diagram for Cardiacs, its members,their former and later bands, spin offs and even bands engineered, produced and guested by Cardiacs personnel. Not easy, so I'm having to do it by members rather than band, for example I can't connect Karda Estra directly to Cardiacs but I can via Kavus and then also on to Knifeworld, NSRO, Admirals Hard. Then sometimes the lines come into one box from 2 directions e.g. Panixsphere has a line coming in from Cardiacs via Tim and Bic and from Levitation via Bic.

Can we see it when you're finished?
