The Trundley Experience (UK) Neuzeitliche Tonkonstruktionen (Germany) Hax / Snowdonia (Italy)
A2 "Return Of Jody" - Untouched jam session with Mick Magic, Kate Twilight and Jay Time from the original band. Recorded September 1987, this one became the foundation for the track "Magic Moments At Twilight Time". B1 "Discotheque Traveller" - A short experiment from our first demo, "W20 Advance Guard", recorded by Mick Magic in October 1986. Formed the basis for "Traveller 2" later on. B2 "Pandora" - The original line up featuring Shona Moments on vocals, recorded October 1987 for "The Magic Moments Album". B3 "Spirit" - The demo version; Mick Magic and Lulu, plus Al Cable of Internal Autonomy on drums, recorded early to mid 1990, used on "Earthbound". B4 "Acidic Heaven" - From the album "White Hawk Atomic", details as track A1. B5 "Blitzkrieg!" - Comes from a live rehearsal for a gig that never happened, just Mick Magic and Shona Moments here, from the amusingly awful May 1987 album "Live And Sorry". |

FLASHBAX VOL. 5 Rodent Tapes (UK, 1992-95) Umbababayee (UK, 1995+) Beton Tapes (Germany) A1 "Magic Moments At Twilight Time" - The latest incarnation of the band, that's Mick Magic, Lulu and Pete Program, the theme / anthem from the album "White Hawk Atomic", recorded October 1991. A2 "Story X" - Mick Magic plus one, this is the first recording by Shona Moments herself from March 1987, taken from the "State Of the Art" demo. A3 "State Of The Art" - Well, no volume of Flashbax would be complete without a take of this track! This is a recording test for singer Pippa Smith, only with us for a few months in '89. Sad really. B1 "Are Souls Epileptic?" - Deep from the archives comes this one, from the demo tape, "W20 Advance Guard". This is Mick Magic solo from October 1986 and you may well recognise the backing program for "The Soultakers" in there somewhere? B2 "Discotheque Traveller / Zen Sequent" - Mick and Shona again, this time from May 1987, from a rehearsal for the debut gig that didn't happen. Originally available on the diabolical "Live And Sorry" tape. Afterthought: Shona was there, but she didn't do anything on this extract. Oops! B3 "Little Green men In Bowler Hats" - Taken from "Zoen Nostalgia", Mick solo (pretending to be two aliens, bless him) circa May '89, he is seeing the best psychiatrist we can afford. |
FLASHBAX VOL. 5 The photo used on the generic cover we supplied to labels with the master, taken with us posed on top of what I seem to recall was an underground reservoir at the Deepcut / Heatherside end of the Frimley Fuel Allotments. It was part of a series of very recognisable publicity stills taken by Mensan photographer, Wayne Smith, who was a great support to the band in the early days and never forgotten in these parts. That's Kate on the left, then top to bottom; Jay, me and Shona. B4 "Radio Armageddon / Blitzkrieg!" - And back to the present, again from "White Hawk Atomic", we do spoil you, don't we?
