This podcast features: (and I'd like to know where exactly !!) Edgar Froese

Aqua, start of Part 3.

[Enofa]

FSOL - Kiss 100 FM Transmission 4 [radio mix] (11.11.1993)
Kiss 100 FM Transmission 4 (Part 1) (29:07)

09:41 ????? - ?????

10:15 ????? - ?????

This is Jon Hassell, it sounds a lot like Ba-benzélé but I'm not completely convinced. I can't find another track that sounds like it though so it could just be pitched and layered with some other stuff.
Also:

00:00 Amorphous Androgynous - Liquid Incests environments (Intro) - (Quigley Records, 1993)

Liquid incests?!

15:45 ????? - ?????

17:04 ????? - ?????

No idea what this is, but it's all the same track.

Kiss 100 FM Transmission 4 (Part 5) (30:55)

01:21 ????? - ?????

'Abandoned Incoming' from Archive 6.

This is Jon Hassell, it sounds a lot like Ba-benzélé but I'm not completely convinced. I can't find another track that sounds like it though so it could just be pitched and layered with some other stuff.

Fucking hell, just learned that he died a day or so ago. What a really unpleasantly weird coincidence.

[mcbpete]

Oddly I'd been listening through a lot of Hassell stuff over the last few weeks as well. As he'd featured in a lot of the sets I was wondering if he was the one sampled at the end of An End Of Sorts - but soon realised that his trumpet style is quite a bit different...

[Enofa]

Yes, his trumpet-through-pedals sound is very distinctive, although there are a few modern players who try to emulate his sound (Arve Henriksen does a very good job).

[Pandemonium]

Kiss Test 2 - the Weatherall bit is a remix of Still Fighting by Sabres of Paradise — not found anywhere else! — or maybe an early version — ‘cos that track came out in 1993.

[Enofa]

Kiss Transmission 3
Part 1
20:41 Reload - 1642 Try 621
Played on top of the Sound Clash Republic track.

36:20 Space - Venus (Jimmy Cauty project)

1:03:00 is definitely FSOL, the reverb on those squelches is the same as a lot of reverbs they use at this point. I'm putting it down as an unknown environment on my blog.

1:04:42 23 Skidoo - Fire

1:21:21 Dick Walter - Pendulum (A)


Part 2
04:07 The Future Sound of London - Environments (Part 2)

09:01 The Future Sound of London - Cascade Part 4 [aka Elaborate Burn] - (Virgin, 1993)

Nah, part 3 is Elaborate Burn. This track (part 4) is totally different.

[Enofa]

Kiss Transmission 2 Part 5:
05:52 Space - Venus

Amusingly this part is identical to a half hour section of Transmission 3.

[Enofa]

The Kitchen NY
Joy Division, Preston 1980, can't find any 'Leave the Lights Alone Please' sample.

"I'm not... I don't have a mind that way. My mind is what works. If something works, it functions, I have a mind and procedure." - from a Pure History documentary called Charles Manson: The Man Who Killed the 60s.

'Eyes Pop - Skin Explodes - Everybody Dead' is kind of present, its opening environment being at 52:44.

1:04:56 Dirty Shadows environment
1:07:50 A Study of Six Guitars environment

[Enofa]

I've discovered from the The Most Important Moments of a Life that the hip-hoppish track found on most of the 3D Headspace Tour transmissions is called 'Open Enclosure'.

FSOL - ISDN Transmission 6, France (Fun Radio) [live mix] (05.11.1996)
- bootleg / first official release 07.03.2010



There were two France Fun Radio ISDN shows released on the Pod Room in 2010, and both of them were marked with incorrect dates. This one (the first one) marked as 17.05.1997 is probably transmitted on 05.11.1996. This is suggested by the tracklists and the numbering of this session as ISDN 6.

Turns out it's actually 08/11/96:

Some amusing stuff with Gaz speaking French at the start.

[Enofa]

Bootleg 1, WMNF Radio, Tampa, Florida:

Identical to Kiss Transmission 5, Part 6

Part 2:

Identical to Kiss Transmission 6, Part 5.

Bootleg 2:

Identical to Kiss Transmission 6, Part 4.

FSOL - ISDN Transmission 4, Netherlands (VPRO Radio) [live mix] (09.09.1994)
- bootleg / first official release 01.02.2010

54:40 ????? - starts with the original full-length 'turn the lights off' talk, goes into some kind of modern classical piece and builds to some braindance beat...

Beat is from Are We Fightin Us

FSOL - ISDN Transmission 4, Netherlands (VPRO Radio) [live mix] (09.09.1994)
- bootleg / first official release 01.02.2010

1:10:52 ????? - wtf is this... a no-comment weird one...

Closing environment to 'A Diversionary Tactic'.

[Enofa]

And if there were any FSOL fans that knew the previous FSOL material and waited for Lifeforms, they were blasted away three times more when they heard all this new material! I mean, come on, Lifeforms comes out in 5 days and Dougans/Cobain are one year into the future playing new ISDN album material.

I always found this really strange, as none of the other 3D Headspace Tour shows are remotely the same. And I just worked out why.
The ISDN credits have it as 5/11/94 (and, er, 3/11/94), and interviews talk about a November show to The Kitchen. The date on the Pod Room version is the wrong way around. It was transmitted on 5th November as part of the late '94 tour.

Now I have a lot of rewriting to do!
