Update - No. 20, June 30th, 2005 |
|
A couple of years ago, as
reported in Mail Update
No 14, Tim & Barry met up with the Head Honcho of Birdman
Records, David Katznelson, during his visit
to London. He proposed a compilation album for the Birdman label, not so
much a 'greatest hits' (if such a thing can be imagined), but more of a
typical cross-section of all the FfC artists and their releases up to that
point. We eagerly obliged with 20 tracks by Berkowitz Lake &
Dahmer, Pendro, Cavendish Sanguine, Oleum, Cousin Silas
and The Gideon Leeches, all squeezed into 70
something
minutes.
And now we can announce that
the album is ready to tremble your
earbones!:
Malpractice -
A Fflint Central Primer (Birdman Records
BMR066)
1. Invocation of My Demon Budgie-
Berkowitz Lake & Dahmer
2. Burra Folly II- The Gideon Leeches 3. Setting the Clinch- Cousin Silas 4. Halzaphron- Cavendish Sanguine 5. Flip- Pendro 6. Azeotrope- Cavendish Sanguine 7. Occident Bowl- Berkowitz Lake & Dahmer 8. Small Automatic Thorax- Pendro 9. Helium Veneer- Cavendish Sanguine 10. Warlock Hill- Cousin Silas 11. Tazoa Torture Temple- Pendro 12. Rising Of The Lights- The Gideon Leeches 13. Spilth- Oleum 14. Fluids For Dark Pleasures- Berkowitz Lake & Dahmer 15. Spires & Embers- Pendro 16. Locate and Cement- Berkowitz Lake & Dahmer 17. Somnambula Creche- Cousin Silas 18. Hornets in the Head- Pendro 19. Botallack- Cavendish Sanguine 20. Cirrhosis of the Cormorant- Berkowitz Lake & Dahmer This is quite an event for Fflint Central, being the first
pressed (i.e. non CD-R) disc entirely devoted to FfC music and just as
exciting is being welcomed into the fold of such a fantastically cool
label as Birdman. Our thanks and gratitude to Dave and his team are
enormous indeed. We really hope that this album finds new ears, hearts,
souls and noses receptive to Fflinty
sounds.
We understand that many of you will already own releases
containing some of these tracks, but don't let that deter you from
grabbing a copy of the compilation. Apart from having very snazzy artwork,
liner notes from the mysterious Condor AND a barcode on
the back(!), the album contains three previously unreleased (and very
short) tracks. And we're very pleased that an album on BIRDman begins with
a Demon BUDGIE and ends with a Cirrhotic
CORMORANT.....
Although the 'official' release date is July 11th, it can be
bought NOW direct
from Birdman. Your support for this very special Fflinty album would
make us go all gooey inside......
Onward and Upward!
