Re: [KLF] Should we not use Flac only? (Mark Muldowney)

Hey Mark, A valid concern as far as quality and continuity goes. I also don't see the point in using MP3 or M4A or any other compressed file type. However speaking just from my own point of view I can't see any advantage to FLAC over AIFF other than disc space. You won't experience any loss of quality converting AIFF / WAV into FLAC.

Sharing day 3.1-The KLF's PSB mixes
by Dan Hutchins 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

"Remixes" of Pet Shop Boys tracks commissioned personally by PSB when the KLF were still an underground act. Truth be told, according to Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys these really aren't remixes but KLF originals and the PSB tracks were simply used as starting points. The KLF changed the chords of "So Hard" reprogrammed everything and Neil came into the studio and sang new vocals. The UFO mix of "It must be obvious" is an original KLF ambient piece that just samples a little snippet of the original at the beginning and the end. These were done around the same time as the Waiting soundtrack in the summer of 1990. Ripped from an official German CD single. BTW, over a year later The KLF called PSB and suggested they collaborate on a single for the Christmas market. PSB agreed but nothing came of the proposal. Tennant speculates The KLF abandoned the idea as the band were about to implode. Both tracks in lossless WAV format unaltered. http://www.mediafire.com/?9uquglk4b1s23f4 Get these ones while you can, even though these tracks are out-of-print the copyright is owned by PSB and I may delete this share in a day or two to be on the safe side.

Sharing Day 3: Space
by Dan Hutchins 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

By special request: Space WAV file-- http://www.fileswap.com/dl/WKmLax4z/01_1._Mercury_2._Venus_3._Mars_4._Jupit… Please note this is not a rip from an official KLF Communications issue, it is a rip from a popular bootleg from 1993/94. Sound quality 9 out 10. There's one or two drop-outs in the beginning but that's it in terms of flaws. Sorry if you hoping for more but this is the best I have.

WOW!
by Dan T. Hutchins 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

It's 7:40 AM my time and just awoke to 21 happy, shiny, messages from the list! That has never, ever happened!!! The best part is everyone is excited and there's no chimpanze-like feces flinging either. If I could, I would get in my car, drive to each of your houses with a dozen roses, shake each and every one of your hands, then give you a giant Ed McMahon Publishers Clearing House type cheque! As promised to a list member, after a cup of coffee, I'm going to go through my nine different rips of Magrugda club mix and up the best rip. Then a little later one (or even two) more JAMs classics. "I'm as happy as a litttle girl!" Dan

Laser turntables
by Dan T. Hutchins 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Has anyone ever heard of or seen this: http://www.elpj.com It's a turntable that plays vinyl using five lasers instead of a needle. Allegedly, the lasers penetrate the grooves deeper than a needle and the sound quality is sypposed to be unparalled. This thing will play warped and even broken records perfectly. The Lubrary of Congress uses them for audio preservation. Check out the pricing though...they cost as much as a car! Occasionally, when master tapes are lost or destroyed studios will remaster for digital from vinyl. This apparently was the case with the recent Cure "Seventeen Seconds" remaster (The Cure remasters were great BTW as they were overseen personally by Robert Smith and done at Abbey Road so they are true improvements and not overly compressed garbage). I wonder if Metropolis Mastering and Abbey Road employ this device? Dan
