A good Zeuhl Tony and everyone, Magma Komandoh has a lot to answer for! inventing language and that, should'nt be allowed! At least being French, Magma should have created something that sounds like it! |

Hola back at ya, Ol'B the U! |

ol'brueghel the uglier:
this sounds too masculine though, prog is a bit macho | |

Tue. 2/19/13 12:12pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
A touch more fusion than expected in this track! |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 12:13pm
Tony Coulter:
@ ol'brueghel the uglier: You're right! I had to double-check that that was the female symbol. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:14pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
did'nt Prince use that symbol after he changed his name to the artist formerly known as? |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:16pm
Tony Coulter:
Hey, all, I know it might seem a bit pointless to favorite tracks on Tape Hiss shows, since they aren't archived -- but please do so anyhow, if you feel so inspired. My marathon premium this year will feature a lot of tracks that aired on Tape Hiss shows, so knowing what people like will help me decide what to include. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:17pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir LP: Isn't Prince's symbol some Egyptian thing-a-ma-bob? |
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:19pm
ol'brueghel the uglier:
any top prog female band ? or with non bearded woman leading the band? | |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:20pm
Tony Coulter:
Maybe Justine? They're sort of prog -- and certainly very good. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:22pm
Tony Coulter:
I mean this Justine: rateyourmusic.com... . I guess there are a lot of them! |

Doug, Destination Out playlist is not appearing from yesterday? |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 12:32pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir LP: Those are all just vocalists fronting (mostly) male bands, though. Justine is an all-female band. |

Tony Coulter:
Keep an ear out for the surprise cover coming up after this track. |

SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
any top prog female band ? or with non bearded woman leading the band? was the request, Tony |

Tony Coulter:
Right you are. |

SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Tony, you mentioned the M word! not got over the Sandy Marathon yet! |
|
Tue. 2/19/13 12:41pm
ol'brueghel the uglier:
thanks for the names. those female vocalists were also composers of the music? I would say though that there are more all-female punk, pop bands that all-female prog bands | |

Tue. 2/19/13 12:43pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
have you heard of Babymetal? they are all under 11 girl Japanese heavy metal band! |

@ Sir LP: The M Word? You mean "Magma"? @ Ol B: I think you're right about that... |

also Mother Superior were an all female UK prog band from 1975! |

Hey Michael! |

not sure if Keith Relf was in Renaissance with Annie Haslam or not? |

Here's the Palace of Lights Web site, by the way: www.palaceoflights.com |

Tony Coulter:
... with more recent stuff by K. Leimer. |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 1:02pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir LP: Wasn't Jane Relf the vocalist when Keith Relf was in the band? Maybe the Relfs departed in tandem? |

Tue. 2/19/13 1:13pm
Carmichael:
Hiya Tony. Keith Relf left Renaissance in early 1970. Jane left in December of that year. |

Hey Carmichael! Thanks for straightening out my Relfs.... |

Been listening since the open. Good stuff, Tony. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:20pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Jeremy: Glad you like it! Too bad it was never released. It's interesting how much "rockier" it is than his later ambient stuff. @ Uncle Michael: Thanks! |

This is great stuff, Tony! |

Hey Rich! Glad you approve! |

Rich in Washington:
I wonder if CD-R technology will ever garner the kind of prominence that cassettes did in the 80s and 90s, in terms of immediacy, availability. I mean, in some ways, it's easier to make runs of CDs than it was to make a bunch of cassettes. |
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:24pm
Jeremy (Hiss Nibs):
First I have heard of him. So all of this music was made previous to any official release? | |
|
|
♥
Tue. 2/19/13 1:25pm
Rev. Turnip Druid (xBSI):
A bit late to the Hiss Party, but entered to the nice warm glow of minimal synthi goodness. Reminded me of bits of that first Eroc LP (he of grobschnitt fame) -- but no matter! Groovy sounds. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:26pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Jeremy: Yes - about 4, 5 years prior to any releases. His later solo stuff is sort of high-class ambient. He was also in the band Savant, which sounds a bit more like the stuff I'm playing (in fact, some of these tracks are with Savant). |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:27pm
Tony Coulter:
Hey there, Father Turnip! |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:
The tracks on now - "Stationary Dance" - was released on a Savant 12". Not sure if this is the same mix. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:
Er, the "track" on now. |

Coincidentally, I just last night saw the Moog documentary via Netflix. For not being a musician, he sure has a grasp of the ethereal nature of musicians jamming together. |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 1:32pm
Rich in Washington:
This is a really good example about how making some really cool sounds with analog synthesizers seems to be a lost art. Even people who're supposed to be hot-shit analog synth people today don't sound as cool to me as stuff did in the 70s/early 80s, when synths were becoming more accessible. |
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:34pm
Jeremy (Hiss Nibs):
Amazing stuff. Wish I'd set up my tape deck to tape this show now! Stupid stupid! | |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:34pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Rich in Washington, in my bloated opinion we are already past the CDR phase and into downloading from source. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:35pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Rich, modern bands are too scared of sounding like Emerson, Lake and Palmer! |
|

♥
Tue. 2/19/13 1:36pm
Rev. Turnip Druid (xBSI):
Rich @1:32, amen to that. |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 1:37pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
I am recording it! I mean comeon Tony, there is no archiving of the shows, someone has to keep such great music! |
|

♥
Tue. 2/19/13 1:37pm
Uncle Michael:
There is no archiving of the shows? |

Tue. 2/19/13 1:38pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir LP: I'm glad to hear it -- but no talkee 'bout that, please! |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 1:38pm
Rich in Washington:
I think if I bought a better cassette deck, my sentiments towards cassettes would grow. My setup is in such a state that cassettes rare really inconvenient for me, even though I have a ton. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:40pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Tony, I don't want the FBI breaking down my door for copyright infringement! But I assume most of these tapes etc have no copyright labels on the sleeves etc. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:41pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Uncle Michael: Nope, "Tape Hiss" shows aren't archived -- my regular freeform shows are, though. |
|

Tue. 2/19/13 1:41pm
Uncle Michael:
Ahh...I see. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:43pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Rich, having experimented with transferring tapes onto CDR, the volume level of casettes is way below the modern day listening level. Probably had something to do with the analogue capacity or thickness of the tape! |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:45pm
Tony Coulter:
As I said, we've already heard two of the tracks coming up on this tape -- so don't worry that you're losing your mind. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:47pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Tony, I am right in saying that generally music sounds louder today than it ever was? |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:47pm
Tony Coulter:
Definitely true. Too loud, in my opinion. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:50pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
not only is it played loud (that has never changed) but recording levels are at a max. Audio experts argue on the contrary that walkman/ipod levels are now limited for of ear canal damage and consequent litigation. |
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:51pm
MrFab:
Hey boys n' girls! Sir Lance, recordings are indeed louder. Check out this article to confirm all your worst fears about today's music: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/9430338/Modern-music-really-does-sound-the-same.html | |

Tony Coulter:
Hey, Fab-Man! |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:54pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Tony, Savant sound really graceful and remind me of the obscure Krautrock band Between. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:55pm
Tony Coulter:
I actually set the average volume of this show pretty low -- which might become a problem if everyone goes deaf from listening to super-loud music. |
|
|
♥
Tue. 2/19/13 1:55pm
Rich in Washington:
This sounds sick but I actually bought a tiny in-line amplifier to make my iPod louder in the headphones and in my car. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:56pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir LP: Glad you like the Savant. They do have actual releases, but they're not easy to find, unfortunately. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:56pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Tony, I have a problem on the phone, a B sounds like a G to me? Is it from listening to music? |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:58pm
Tony Coulter:
Gy Bod, that is a problem! |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 1:59pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Rich, I also have the mini amp - Graham Slee Voyager. But you will find any device for headphone listening is now volume limited - because in the opinion of their lawyers they could be held liable for ear damage. |
|
|
♥
Tue. 2/19/13 2:02pm
Uncle Michael:
Tony, I will observe that relative to the volume of the music, I have to turn you way, way up to hear you when you speak. |
|
|
Tue. 2/19/13 2:03pm
SIR LANCELOT PRATT:
Rich, apparantly if connect the Apple Ipod to the Headphone amp by way of USB port rather than the audio out cable, you can have unlimited volume! NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT! |
|

Hmmm..., I have the opposite problem, I have to turn down Tony's voice b/c it's so loud. |

Tony Coulter:
@ Uncle Michael and NGH: Thanks for telling me -- even if you do cancel each other out. Anyone else find my mic level too low? Or too loud? 'Tis very hard to set it just right, as I'm not able to look at a meter as I talk. |

MrFab:
Well that sounds cool, Rich. Oddly enough, i can't think of any other tape manipulators. There were plenty of loopers and splicers...All i can recall is one guy who made a "tape-turtnable" replacing the needle with a tape head, and gluing tape onto the 'table. It was rather noisy. | |
