What you can't do is record a copy of a recorded CD at high/quick speed. You can make a copy of an original in half the time. What you can't do is make a copy of a copied CD in the "fast" mode...You make the copy in real time, meaning if the CD is 50 minutes, it will take close to 50 minutes to copy. Get the stand alone machine, it is great, much better than any computer system. Mike> >Hmmmm, that's strange...I've copied or rather made a comp. CD for the guys in my band, then used my copy as a "master" and recorded 3 more at high speed. Which model do you have? Alan What I should have said is that you cannot copy a CD that was made from an ANALOG source at the faster rate, unless it is the "master" copy that you made on your unit, or another unit. If I record a CD from my 45's via my set-up, I can make copies from this 'master' CD at the fast speed. But if I use a copy instead of the original master CD I made, I cannot make a copy at fast speed. Ditto if someone records a CD of their 45's or whatever, and lets me borrow it, I can make a copy at the fast speed IF the source CD is the original master. If not, I can copy it but it will dub at the slower speed. If you want to make a CD from a record, and you have the unit hooked up properly, it is SIMPLE to operate. Step 1: After you put a blank CD in the drawer, click on the source button...keep clicking until the digital readout denotes "analog" as the source of the signal to be recorded onto the CD. You also have to make sure if you have a dual unit that the dual mode is off; click the button noted to cancel the dual mode.... Step 2: Then, press the record button. The unit will not start recording yet; you are getting the signal only (like having record & pause engaged on a cassette deck). Drop the tonearm onto the disc, and check the levels... Press the + button, which will increase the signal by 3db, (the default is 0db) if the signal is too low; if it is too high, hitting the red "distortion" peak, press the - button which will lower the signal by 3db. Whatever you do, do NOT run/ peak the signal consistently in the red zone, as the sound will suffer. You can get away with peaking the signal a little "hot" in analog, but not in digital. Step 3: Now that the levels are set, you simply press play to begin recording. The unit takes maybe a half a second before it engages, so be careful not to "clip" the intro of the song. With practice you can make real tight cues that start immediately. Step 4: If you are recording an LP (I only dub from 45's) you have to press "pause" at the end of each song then repeat the process again for each cut. Rat Pfink: >Easier to use than a computer? Maybe. Much better? Not a chance... We've had this argument before...I've yet to hear a better transfer from a computer than the Philips or the Marantz CD-R models. I bought the computer recording studio program (can't recall the name, I gave it to my brother so he could transfer his heavy metal discs...it is always advertised in mags). Only Helen Keller wouldn't be able to hear the superior result from the CD recorder... Of course, I am stressing from an ANALOG (45rpm/LP ) perspective here.

UNTAMED YOUTH - most neo-garage bands choose the 1966 paisley-pants Standells/Blues Magoos era; the Youth, on the other hand, were the first band to hearken back to the 1964 sound of the Rivieras. Kinda surfy, but not quite. Not nearly as English-oriented, either. Just for (implicitly) acknowledging that there were more types of garage-rock than what's normally represented, Dickerson & co. are alright w/me. FORTUNE & MALTESE - kinda like the Untamed Youth, only a bit more post-Brit Invasion. GORIES - why do most Gories fans just center on the "noise" aspect? Fuck that! I buy most albums for SONGS, not SOUNDS, and I KNOW YOU FINE BUT HOW YOU DOIN' is by far the best ALBUM of the post-garage era, from front to back! Besides, it's nice to hear a fairly modern-day garage band refer to R&B without sounding ironic or blase, like the far overrated Come-Ons, who I saw play on a bill with the far superior... EMBROOKS - the REAL English beat, Bubba... ALSO OUT THERE: ON FYRE (Lyres) and STOP! (Chesterfield Kings), two eighties albums that still sound good after all this time. J.

This was about two years ago, so the memories are a little fuzzy, so forgive me ... I remember them having a rapt audience in Almeria for their during their performance and I remember them feeling a little travel-worn (as we all were) afterward. I remember hanging out with them by the souvenir stands and exchanging tales of the rootlessness of being on the road (as I recall, they had been touring for a few months of Europe, with a few left to go, and we had been through the third of 16 nights through Spain). They were great guys, took fotos with us (check out our website!) and hung with us through Madrid. Dom, a draftsman, found particular interest in discussion with Price, our guitar player, who's an architect who worked on the I.M. Pei museum in Cleveland, OH. Anyhow, we all have a few fond memories of those guys and wish they'd come back to the States eventually.

First up were The Realistics. I only caught a few songs and while they would not be to everyone's taste here in Bompland, I still enjoyed them a bunch. Their sound is kind of 80s New Wave with a little Steely Dan (one of my guilty pleasures I must admit) thrown in. What makes them stand out however is the lead singers voice. He has one of the best singing voices I've heard in quite some time. While they are not my usual musical fare I will definitely go check them out again sometime, esp. if they are on a bill like tonight's. Next were The Come Ons who were also really great. 2 gals and 2 guys who played in a more soulful vein than most of the bands I get to see. I totally dug their heavy on the organ sound although I would have liked to see the guitar player cut loose a little more than he did. Still, another band I will definitely go see again sometime. Taking the festivities into high gear, The Greenhornes were totally amazing. Pure garage with a soul/R&B influence. Picture if a young Roger Daltry would have sang with the Animals circa 1964 and you will begin to get the idea. They have a new CD coming out in March and I can't wait. After what I saw and heard tonight, I can't imagine it being anything less than incredible. Capping off the evening were Deke Dickerson & The Ecco-Phonics. What a band - these guys can do it all. Although they mostly stick with the country swing and rockabilly stuff, their set also included lotsa great R&R with some cool covers by ZZ Top and Joan Jett. Deke is one of the most talented guys I've ever seen. There's nothing he can't do on the guitar (his sax playing aint too shabby either) and he is a truly amazing vocalist. All in all, this was one of the best nights of music I've had in quite some time.

Hi folks, Gotta get my two cents' worth in re: this most boss-bitchin' and legendary band, being a Perth gal 'n all... The Stems were my *reason for living* when I was a schoolgirl (sad, I know - I was in their fan club, and even used to send them Christmas cards!!!). I used to sneak in to heaps of their gigs as an "underaged rager", and believe me - live, they were the BUSINESS! In the space of one gig, they'd go from extreme raw garage stompers to gorgeous ballads to some real cool covers ("Valleri", "Medication", "Remember (Walking in the Sand)", "Can't Explain", and "Zero Hour" are a few that I remember off the top of my head). And they looked SO FUCKIN' COOL! In my opinion Dom Mariani is one of the best living songwriters in the world, and I just wish he was acknowledged and cherished in Perth as the local treasure he is. His guitar playing is up there with the best of 'em, and to top it off, he's a really nice guy. Amongst his innumerable musical exploits, there was one band that you probably won't have heard of, as they didn't record - Five Alive, an hilarious 70s cover band (he didn't sing, only played geetah). They did such classics as "Black-Eyed Bruiser", "Heaven's in the Back Seat of My Cadillac" and even - quite incongruously - a blinding version of "Get My Way" by the Cynics. So there you go. Oh yeah, the Stems played a reunion gig almost four years ago, and it was packed to the rafters. It was great to see that their legacy lives on (and my band got to support!)... God bless 'em! By the way, Bompers might be interested to know that DM3 are in rehearsal as we speak for an Italian tour, which means some Perth warm-up gigs! Yowzah! It's the only thing I've got to look forward to, musically speaking, in the foreseeable future... and I'm gonna MILK IT! __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 04:30:15 EST From: Euphorik6@aol.com Subject: Re: animals.

My favorite off of this CD is "Outcast" (at least I think that's the title, if I'm remembering the CD correctly) -- it's so tough. The guitar has this guttural memphis tone to it and it's playing this great riff that's so simple at the same time. We've talked about covering this a few times. It's a beaut! >> hey jen yeah!! that's a great description - "guttural memphis." the whole record is buried in that echo, and has that raunchy sound to it that a lot of soul records from the early sixties had. my favorite parts on that record are the barrelhouse piano breaks in "maudie" & "that all i am to you" - eric burdon is the king of the throwaway ad-lib...i think it's cool how on a lot of those songs, he throws in stuff like "here we go david" & stuff like that before the solos. i also love the part in "outside looking in" where the guitar k icks in & the great "yeah" call & response thing....fantastic song!! john steel's drumming on here is great, too. & cosmopop added << dig the animals article in the recent (ecember?) MOJO>> yeah! my favorite part in that article was the part about how mike jeffreys "died" in that plane crash and his body was never recovered...he's probably habeasing his corpus in some plush carribbean tax dodge w/ all that fatcat royalty money he scammed from hendrix. another mai-tai, mister jefferys? this guy makes allen klein look good. interesting that somebody who managed (at least) three big acts from the 60s - the animals, hendrix & the soft machine - - managed to get around w/o having his PICTURE taken. i've only ever seen one picture of this guy & it was really blurry & indistinct. apparently he had some kind of thing about having his picture taken. that's the first thing i always look for in a manager - does he freak out when somebody takes his picture?? is he good with numbers? does he tape record you when you're unware of that fact? does he look like g gordon liddy? forget "billboard," i am looking for a manager in the"soldier of fortune" classifieds... annnnnnnnnnnnyway, this is a great record!! i highly recommend picking one up!! rob ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2001 #96 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
