OK, I promised... but you won't like it... not all of it... still, you asked for it... VERSE: Sense of perfection, flowing away, abstract reflections, of yesterday, today. CHORUS: now, this is the tricky bit 'cos you see there is no chorus! I've said it before and it's true, Jen really was just making noises with her mouth, not singing english words at all. There, bit of an anticlimax really... But, to make the disappointment easier to cope with I promised to spread gifts galore and here is, though I say it myself, a rather special and even-longer-overdue-than-the-Obsidian-lyrics offer: I am making available a handful of CDRs of the first 3 cassette only albums. Yes, that's Medium, Freeform Flutes..., and Deep-Live, all on pristine CDR (as pristine as the original recording quality, a lot of it 12bit, will allow) with scans of the original artwork. Email info@banco.co.uk before next tuesday July 8th and send a 'donation' towards costs of ?5GBP, 10Euros or $10USD cash (must be banknotes in these currencies only please) along with a delivery address and we'll send them out in the next couple of weeks. There, that must make up for having to live with the truth that no song has ever yet been written containing the words :"free ham and eggs in the sun"...
Where do we send the donation????????
has a song yet been written containing a certain dessert by the name of "rhubarb crumble"?
Thank You
You can send donations to our PO Box which is: Disco Gecko PO Box 1195 Cheddar BS27 3YE UK
"donations"

THANK YOU :-)
Many happy returns Toby ! thanks for clearing up those lyrics for us finally, I never thought I would be able to find those albums ... cash will be in the post tomorrow ... cheers
Dagnabit! I'll just have to make it up as I sing along, as well, then. Donations on their way next week. :) Hoppy birdy, again.
a very good cause !
Guys, guys! Hey, please tell me - donations MUST be putted in a postal envelop??? ten buks? Please tell me...
i like that it's got no "real" lyrics, now i don't have to impose false structures where there aint any(appropriate really as Obsidian the rock (Silicon Dioxide) is amorphous in form and has no crystaline structure)...yipee...freedom to burble along as we please
theres nothing like news like that to brighten up a horrible wet manchester week.... toby you're a blinkin gem... is it ?5 each or for all 3?.. (sorry I had to ask)...
Just to clarify it's a single payment of ?5/10US/10EU, that gets you all 3 and includes postage.

Happy belated birthday Toby too Hope ya had a great day. ?"There, that must make up for having to live with the truth that no song has ever yet been written containing the words :"free ham and eggs in the sun"... Was that what the sound was altered to sound like ? or was it green ham lolololol hee-hee :) Happy returns
Seems I had too much cake on my birthday and wasn't making perfect sense. Instructions for getting the 3 CDRs: 1. email info@banco.co.uk before July 8th with your name saying you want them; 2. send total of ?5 cash, $10US cash or 10Euros cash (banknotes only please) to PO Box 1195, Cheddar, BS27 3YE, UK; 3. wait...
Horray - thats way we like stuff on labels like discogecko. That and the vastly surperior music. So if they're arent any lyrics, what does she sing when she performs it live with you? (am i right in thinking she's done it live?)...does she just try to make the same sounds again. are you sure they're aren't any lyrics???!!!
Jen was given a....free harmony in the song....la la la la la la....free harmony in the song
poor gag.
i think toby's having us on. i mean would he reveal next year if he told us the truth?
I heard big men cry for the first time 7/2/03 @ vivace on broadway (an espresso bar in seattle). I immediately baught a copy. I am smitten. I was seeking this sound when i purchased EST Strange Place for Snow. I especially like the blend of electronica and earthy wind and percussion. It's beautiful. I want more! PS does that circle and triangle mean what i think it means?
an upward pointing triangle is a symbol of Fire and a circle = eternity: could mean 'eternal fire'; triangle also symbolic of holy trinities (father-son-holyghost; family: father-mother-child etc.), could also be a 2-d representation of a Cone! (Could also if yer a little rudely minded be symbolic of female sex orgams perhaps, although i think the triangle should maybe be pointing downwards for that!) I'm curious to know Terrabit What do you think it means?
opps silly me forgot the most obvious and frequently occuring "eternal triangle", you all know it, the one we socially condone now, i mean you're not having a life if you haven't done it, that's what we're all told to believe and can you smell the bitterness a mile off: that of husband-wife-lover or if you prefer, betrayer- betrayed-betrayee
Copies of the tapes on CD-R. Marvellous! Ive been kicking myself for 9 years that I was too skint to buy the cassettes at the Manchester Megadog and hadn't seen them since (and it certainly beats the price that freeform flutes went for on E-Bay about six months ago!) Thanks for the birthday present and happy birthday!
Cheers Toby, and a belated Happy Birthday. Cash is in the post and Email's in the, er, Email. Nick
With regards to the triangle and circle thing... apparently there is a mathmatical sum that can be done which shows that the great piramid in Giza is a physical representation on the earth and this symbol was used as an example!
I thought it was just a triangle in a circle. Silly me.
Five days late, but happy birthday dear Simon. Oh, consolation prizes, my favorite. Tapes on CD, but wait... that stops them from being tapes. They are in a state of limbo forever! *Breaks down and cries in corner*
See now, I told EVERYBODY, and they all said that there was something more to those "lyrics" than they thought. I.... repeat, I, was the one suggesting it was merely like scat singing in jazz, or konnokol (or konnogolu) in Indian classical music. So this goes out to everybody, but especially to CHHAVI; now you all know the "terrible" truth. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the donations folks. CDRs will be on their way as soon as they are ready. BTW, these are CDs I AM happy for you all to copy for your friends!
you're a diamond geezer and no mistake... already got quite a few interested!!! ok chewie cut in the sublight engines....
aaarrrgggghhhhh! here's the best deal I ever heard of and I've buggered it all up! I sent the email to info@gecko.co.uk, for some bizarre reason! you've got my fiver O mighty Toby, now please pass judgement on whether I am too stupid to be granted your fruit.
10 points dutch!
Aye, not exactly my finest hour. All that taxpayers' money wasted on my education...
Toby, can you send this CDRs to Russia??? What will be the price if you could send them????
Same, 10USD or 10 Euros.
Geoff :) Fine, fine. I still hold it's more like scat, though, than tabla percussion. Cheers.
Got the discs! Nice one Toby. Looking forward to your autumn release.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo I missed the offer!!! Serves me right for not coming on the website often enough!!! (hits himself for the stupidity)
...i got 'em, i got 'em!!..thanks again..
Yahey! There was a nice little package from Disco Gecko on the doorstep this morning! FFFT is now doing the rounds in my CD player and I've got a big smile on my face. Cheers Toby, you're a gentleman and a star!
(with big insane grin on my face!) mr postman dropped them through the door this morning!! great stuff.. had never heard "deep" or "freeform.." before... great to have lai lah back on my stereo since my copy of maya got scratched to bits.. I was so happy I put on my banco t-shirt and a huge pair of headphones and went for a walk with the dog in the countryside... what more could you possibly want!!!! ... while I'm blabbering away... I've lost disc 1 of the 1st 10 years comp (not the remix one) would anyone find it in their hearts to burn one off for me.. I'm happy to send a bit of cash for postage.. mad_john05@yahoo.com if there are any offers.. tata for now...
Mine arrived this weekends too, absolutely great stuff and thanks very much to all at Banco and Gekko !!
Thank you! Got mine too and can't wait to get stuck in.
YIPPEE.... got mine too. Thank you Toby.
Received my package over the weekend, thanks Toby. I can see why you've had problems with the licencing, there's enough samples in The Final Frontier to keep the lawyers busy for a while! Haven't got round to Deep Live yet but Medium and FFFT were worth the wait, and certainly a bargin at a fiver! Hurrah! Its a shame you only get one birthday a year....
Noice 1 m8y FFFT is ace. Getting round to rest l8ers. Page: 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 → 1-50 of 159 posts
