Hi Folks,
I have to apologise once again... I've not been here for a very long time!!... Life is just too busy sometimes!!
Just to let you all know not to lose hope about an Ullulator remaster set!! I plan to (finally) put it together this spring... hotly followed by a new Album.
I have decided to remaster (as best I can) the original 3 tapes, Share a clam, monads, and Beyond the gates... In their original form... Complete, including original artwork. This will mean each being a double CD (the tapes were 95'00" long each). This will cost more... but be worth it... I will also be getting them printed in decent, new style flip out card cases... Jewel cases, although cheaper, are total crap... and just break ;~)
I have no idea how many to do... how to sell them (I'm sure I'd be hopelessly inefficient at posting them out!!...but will do if needs be). Will probably do a limited edition...1 off run of a few hundred each.
I have the original master tapes... and better quality copies of some of them that I can splice in where possible. It's not worth trying to remix any of them... besides, the original mixes have 'the vibe' right!!
I will do my best to reduce / eradicate tape hiss... but won't mess with them much more than that.
I might do some of the other tapes if there is a demand... or a better idea might be to tag some of the better tracks from the later CD's onto the 2nd CD of the original 3... each (there will be 45'00" free on the 2nd CD of them each after all!!) it would make for a better deal from your perspective... feedback.. suggestions welcome.
As for the Album... Flaming Khaos... I have 3 unplayed copies, and did transfer an unplayed copy to digital, and scan the Artwork to make a one off CD, including inner sleeve artwork... It looks cool...sounds awesome.... Problem is legality.. That album is owned by Dave Anderson of Demi-Monde... we never got any royalties.... I'll need to run it by my Lawyer and see what we can do... if there is enough demand.
Moving on.... I've been writing music for TV for a good few years now, and need a break... or at least need to make something non corporate!!... SO I will be doing an Album this year... I have no idea what it will be... It will be with real drums...mostly... have guest spots from Joie, and hopefully Janey (If I can find her!!)... And Andy Ull is still around and would be up for some percussion.
Kay is no longer 'Downstairs... so to say, but is with us in spirit..... I lost touch with Chambers a long time ago and have no idea where... or how he is.... If anybody reading this knows him... tell him Hi, we love him dearly... and would love to connect again ;~)
I have a storming Drummer and Bassplayer in mind... and would do pretty much all the guitar / samples / keys etc myself... with highlights from Joie and Janey... I hope!! We should be in a position to do some gigs after as well... Though Joie and Janey would be unlikely to participate... I would need to get a synth / sample player for live playing.
Anyway. I am also going to set up a soundcloud account... it's easier for posting stuff... and maybe a facebook fan page for Ullulators as well... I will post links / names here when it's done.
I've just finished an advanced guitar course at Berklee college of music in Boston (done online) and have some pretty wild guitar stuff from that... I'll post them up on soundcloud if you're interested... also some of the more Rock styly TV stuff is cool... will do them as well...though they are signed and cannot be repackaged / sold etc.
OK, sorry it's taken so long... had many family and other things to take care of... but we are still here... happy... healthy... and rocking!! ;~)
I have set up an email address where you can contact us direct for info, requests etc.... Since I'm so crap at logging on here!!
Get me at:
ullulators@me.com
Ok... Peace... Love... and happy, healing thoughts on our turbulent...rapidly changing and volatile planet ;~)
Gavin.
