This is it the actual end of josh phillips the collection so now I'm going to say all the negative things i havent mentioned yet first, joie from eatstatic said that westfalia sounded like music by some one who "thought too much" well in my opinion i think it sounds like very good music but them i'm the musician who wrote it so i would say that wouldnt i , i'm biased, whats youre excuse? the things that have been erased never to return will always hurt, the backing track to the cover version of flying by the beatles, the backing track to i wanna be your dog, the tape loop that me and preston created magic to, the tracks belonging to the crossing two point zero, the opportunitys lost with MONG IDC just beacuse the shreeve wanted to smuggle a bit of hash in our stomachs rather than foster my career, so turned us into squidge mules, got Steven to pick him up in eastcote after the lot had come out and kept all the money little money grabbing piece of shit and bone our führer told me the fucking little shit was a klingon and i thought he was joking - shows wnat i know (and to think I saved the little piece of shit from killing itself with the drugs punch!)the remixes of peter and the wolf by prokofiev with the lord of the rings samples which were on a cassette which the preston wont give back, the dat tapes which ended up with a sound designer called christopher which will never come back, the master cd's which went to live with the holly phillips which will never be found, the analog tapes which were recorded in the golden triangle which will never be found, the bloody video cassettes which were sent to the fucking saintly bob geldof tv company which will never be heard againand finallymusicians union says keep music live (not sociopaths)peace outjoshy73.podomatic.com

Time to roll the closing credits on "Josh Phillips - the collection [2105 Re Masters]"to quote the late frank sinatra, "Regrets, I've had a few...." but we will have to wait 'til the epilogue for all the negative stuff, for now i'll just try to catch up with all the positive things I ought to have included which didn't fit into the mp3 comment boxes along the way.......in no particular order;ashley's stereo imaging throughout is consistently amazing - no matter what technology we were using - even when just tape bouncing he has always been able to see the stereo mix before we even laid the tracks downmatthew (doc) parker's innovations with primarily horrible nylon acoustic gitars and later the bass and electric even tho they lay back in the mix, are still truly innovative sounds, and then there's then invention of the silent samle whch we invented on the amstrad music machine and following that the sample editor where we could edit our samples "bit by bit" literally, all of these were just awesome!stevens vocals, although quirky and fairly weedy seem to have complimented our style in "the fugue" and certainly developed well with my voice and our steampunk sounddanni "tits" did the most awesone androgenous machine voice on move any mountain and was extremely patient with us on the recording day and kate whatshername's violin  on laridé although we didnt get enough of it was just perfect pitch for what we were doing and sounds lovelyjoffrey's work on the kit in "the crossing" is just so accurate and martin's guitar really proficient, julian has a great voice (we didn't really get him the best mic's for this session)also, it has to be pointed out that everything by "the fugue" and "the crossing" was a live take - and we had at most 4 tracks to work with!and I have to thank my dad for buying me the Korg Poly 800 mkII and whoever it was that stole the Yamaha dx100 (fm synthesis don't you know) from the school and sold it to me for 20 quid and my dad again for playing the dharabuka on have accordion will travel - 4 bars late as it happened so we had to to a digital remaster in 2003!then there's paul james and nigel eaton (aincent beatbox) for the inspiration for early parts of mixdown, so long and laridé which I think technically we have surpassed many time's but respect is still duewhat other thigs should I mention? Oh, the snare drum on the awakened sleeper comes from a song called heaven give me words by propaganda on which howard jones plays the hammond organthe quote by peeter o'toole on move any mountain comes from robert shreeves video cassette of supergirl, I think my mum was one of donovans oysters on the walrus and the carpenterthats basically all of the positive stuff what I can find to say right now, you'll have to check out the next episode to see the rest of the closing creditsoh by the way, this track samples "omega amigo" by the shamen if you must know!  

This is a cover but I dont know who did the original - perhaps the levellers?

Joffrey on drums, martin on guitar, martins bro or benny on bass not sure which, me on kybd and sacred text, julian on vox

this is the only track on josh phillips the collection which I have absolutely nothing to do with so I wont say anything about it.

This is The Crossing (any roman emporers are excused from sueing for defamation of charchter)

a few extra bpm and a pinch of helium version

dharabuka by g. phillips, big drum by joffrey

also by mssrs stock, aitken & waterman of course and the dreadful kylie (featuring special guest appearnce by the awful jason donovan!)

also by Pink Floyd of course!

Obviously also by marillion!

final definitive version of this song, tbh, by now what is it the 5th, 6th, 7th? remix of this it's getting about as exciting as glaciation....

This tune is feindishly difficult, thanks for that STEVE (and Vince Clarke and Andy Bell) {he said waspishly}

No Tomorrow by The Fugue, this track finally got a vocal line!

Heart by The Fugue [2015 Re Master](also by The Pet Shop Boys of course!)

based on a poem by Khalil Gibran

This is the Fugue! All things to all men!

I do not own the rigths to this track

this is very complex, incorporates a key change in every recurring chord sequence

nice accordion based track, slowly, krinshna lead arjuna....

Teisco, every little helps, ashleys panning on this is great

samples altered states, i'm very pleased with the way it comes across with the spirit of w.h's performance, what did you do with the fucking baboon vocalisations emily.....?re master, added reverb

move any mountain and shocked again - samples Mr c and colin, peter o'toole, donovan, thanks to danni "tits" on vocals for being so patient,doctor matt parker (and steve for fuck knows what. and joffrey for the dholaks

very much following in the 808 state utd. state '90 mold of real disco/floorfiller "choonz", not an anthem

1'st version, we had to re-do the whole thing once we realised that the verses and choruses were all in the wrong place!yre master info : added phaser and reverb

This isn't really based on so long except in the chord structure, the lyrics are about something totally different, a rebellious crypto-zioninsm I think (not sure) samples, Stakker - Humanoid, nasty, mistreated acoustic guitar by Dr. Matthew Parkerre master info, all the usual stuff plus added distortion

A traditional Bretton tune, samples from Batdance by Prince and that acid house band wot did "move your body"the key change didnt work in the demo so it's skipped. 1st track featuring the Amstrad sample engine wonderfully prolocuted by Dr. Matthew Parker

East meets west, something I found is quite commonplace in calssical music but not so much in the mainstream, soul II sould beats and tape loops, listen out for the choir - what an algorithym! it's a Korg poly 800 mkII - no really!re-master info: click removal, noise reduction spectral subtraction, clip fix, flanger, reverb.

This started with a tune called Abigail which then developed into "No Tomorrow" which Holly Phillips wrote the lyrics for. Loads and loads of bounces on this but it still came out great!re master info, noise reduction spectral subtraction, click removal, clip fix.

Hi Guys, this is the start of the 2015 Re-Mastered version of Josh Phillips - The Collection 1989 - 1998 The original versions can be purchased in a 3 disc edition from www.thenameisbond.co.uk This is inspired by a poem by Ted Hughes called Thought Fox. If you listen closely the tune incorporates a pitch shift of a semi-tone downwards, which is almost never used in pop music as most songs have a pitch shift of a semi-tone upwards. This track was really hard to remaster as the original recording was very raw and it was difficult to clean and enhance without distorting the original waveforms. In re-mastering I have used de-noise spectral subtraction, click removal, clip fix and reverb. Hope you dig it....
