Green was note perfect the whole way through and the band were top notch too. Even though he said he was nervous, I thought he seemed quite relaxed between numbers and very funny too :-) A new song in the set bodes well, and I hope it means we can look forward to a new album in the future. A grand evening and a great venue. Well worth the trip down to London. The gig was fantastic, great to hear some of those songs again, especially The Sweetest Girl which is my favourite.

I was there and it was fantastic. A mix of old and new material and some 1st time live performances of some songs as well. Just brilliant! http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/scritti-politti-bush-hall-london-7678396.html Hey guys, check out this review of last night’s gig at Bush Hall, London.

This musicindustry is a very complicated one. And Green is very open on just about anything. (sorry for my not perfect English) It's hard to contact Green but I would love to hear some more from him. He decided to make music again and the internet changed the industry in a huge way. I am wondering how he feels about that. I tend to believe he has a more relaxed life now than ever before. But still ... why would someone make music thesedays? I love this talk.

I am sure I' ll never see Scritti live since I live in Italy, but it' s nice to read about it and imagine how it might sound. Only disappointement is absence of a real bass, surprising since it has always been the guiding sound in Scritti songs. But I guess Green has his own, imprescrutable good reasons, as always... Could reange from artistic creativity to musician payment... When can a new album be expected? Thank you for the interesting interview.

]]> Comment on a few Perfect Ways by Keenan http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/06/22/a-few-perfect-ways/comment-page-1/#comment-287749 Keenan Thu, 12 Apr 2012 04:44:24 +0000 http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/06/22/a-few-perfect-ways/#comment-287749 I just bought C & P on CD (says it's a US Printing) and was puzzled by the different version of Perfect Way. The version I'm used to is the same as or similar to the 'demo' version above (I shall hereafter refer to it as such), and honestly I prefer it. The mix seems lighter and more open, and I like that pause after the intro, without the drum fill. The version on my CD is mixed louder than than the other tracks, and sounds mildly distorted and harsh. Green sounds like he's singing in a tunnel and gets drowned out by the instrumentation in the chorus. The music video on Youtube uses this version, but what's weird is that almost every other version I've found on the interwebs is the aforementioned 'demo' version. So if any of you peeps have a CD (in good condition) with the 'demo' version on it and want the other one, I'll swap ya for it :) I just bought C & P on CD (says it’s a US Printing) and was puzzled by the different version of Perfect Way.

And one keyboard! WOW! I have similar stuff on hand minus the history and Green's way of getting it right. I am a truly inspired fan! Very interesting to know what was up with all the laptops!

Thanks to everyone involved. Does anyone have audio (or video) of the other half of the set (Brushed with..., Slow Deceit, Die Alone, etc.)? Would love to hear the full 2012 live set, even if it turns up in pieces from a range of sources. It has been lovely to have links to the Lexington and Victoria, Dalston video and audio.
