Description |
Full-Length Sample and Information |
| Gygno | Final article appears on The Big C. This pulled from a test tape. | More or less the final cut except with Paul Shield’s original vocals. They weren’t right so Strangely Perfect did vocals for the vinyl release which can be heard here. Compare and contrast! |
| Yoni Suchon | Live version from same set as Sex Machine (below) | This is pretty close to the original way the track was played. The later version on Waqqaz has several (obvious) structural differences to this. It’s a quite powerful piece of stuff. |
| Sex Machine | Live version recorded without bass & drums | This is part of an hour long live cassette tape that is almost worthy of being issued as an LP in it’s entirety despite the quality and despite the odd mistake and despite the gaps and despite the odd error in mixing and despite the odd tape drop-out. Remocarpet with Jeff singing his lyrics is astounding… - I’d forgotten how good we were and we could be.This version is straight from tape without any processing and “features” the irregular breaks in the chorus appearance that were an original feature but had to be dropped to make it easier for the drummer.It’s the best explosion I ever made at the end. You can hear the inner anger on that day. |
| Doo-Hoo | Original called “Sue” in bootleg form or Belgium cassette tapes releases. This is it’s correct title. |
Pits recording featuring Strangely and Clinka. Unfinished as is. Little boy lost vocals. Needs different bass fill and some blanket keyboards. The “sound” of the piece is deliberate. Strangely wanted really spaced out backings with a voice really right in the middle of your face, too close for comfort. A bit like walking alone on cliff-tops in a fog, singing a tune so that it’s hard to place distances and perspectives correctly and then coming upon someone so that their voice is out of synch with the surroundings. Much like the tenor of the HP Lovecraft tale “The Crawling Chaos”, or something. |
| Spit | Not standard issue | Recorded in The Pits. The usual suspects are performing. Standard Strangely clean-up. |
| Zombie Dance | Found on Homunculus Equinox as strange short tune before East of West Allotment. |
This track was played many times in live situations. It was probably one of the tunes that upset Adam Sweeting so much. Twat. Er..live at the Golden Eagle in Blyth. The Zombie Dance bit was used on Homunculus Equinox but speeded up 4x, and it’s part of a longer continuous sequence finishing with “Mary Whitehouse” (see below).Performers are Fatso, Doomage, Strangely and Holly - who got paid as he was just starting and had a kind of contract. We soon sorted that out and he was taken on full time so didn’t need paying. Wahay! |
| Zombie Dance | Part of Zyclon B Zombies onstage performance accompaniment | Zyclon B Zombie performance at Newcastle University containing blood, guts,shouting,Bacchus and several specially recorded tracks by Doomage and Strangely. This is one. |
| Zombie Dance => Mary Whitehouse | Recorded live on cassette at The Golden Eagle, Blyth, Northumberland | This is the above bit more or less complete. Shame about the quality. The tapes are starting to disintegrate and this is the best clean-up I can manage for now. It’s basically a trade-off between heaps of hiss and heaps of extra audio artifacts.The second version (added 18/12/7) uses HarBal (Harmonic Balancing) mastering software to hack in at the eq. I’ll come back in a couple of days after my ears are rested and delete the duffest version.Mary Whitehouse was a standard punk-ish tune that was never released but was part of the set at this time which went something like this: slow track - fast track- slow track- fast track etc sometimes with big gaps and sometimes rolled into a continuous melange. |
What is E.F.S…
*E.F.S.
Krautrock supremos CAN had a numbered series of compositions called the
“Ethnological Forgery Series“.
This moniker is a reminder or homage to Holger et al, highlighting the instances when CC are ee-eff-ess-ing
about.

There are now three different Zombie Dance mixes which has to be some kind of a record. Strangely’s cleaned them up but because of the state of the tapes the quality is getting worse and it’s harder to do. It’d be easier and quick…

But see the comments. I’ll wack it down to two soon.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:01 amZombie Dance - Mary Whitehouse…
I’ve used some extra software that I’ve “re-found” (!!!) on my PC to adjust the sound a bit (well a lot actually) of these two consecutive tracks from a live gig recorded at “The Golden Eagle” pub in Blyth, Northumbe…

Fear and loathing of music and sounds made me clear out all Crawling Chaos memories from my house - and life.
