Smylonylon 29



I figured it was time for another Smylonylon. On this one I think I generally prefer side B which has a bunch of fantastic tracks though some of them sound best for being sped up. Previous Smylonylon cassettes on this blog can be found here.

The Silicon Teens track (side B, track 2) is a band by the founder of Mute Records, Daniel Miller, and I have included a few of the tracks which I think are more interesting yet still rare. The Papathanassiou track which is actually Vangelis is actually correctly titled Needles & Bones from the Heaven & Hell lp. And I'm not sure what the Strangles - Paradise track is but it sounds fantastic. Also I managed to find a track called Richard Termini Project - Oh It's a Pop Song but can't find any more info about the band or the song. Also, would love to hear the original of the Sly Dunbar - East of the River Thames track - it's off of this LP Sly Dunbar Meets the Fire House Crew - The Other Side of Dub.

On a separate note, let me just say that I saw Black Devil Disco Club and Metronomy last weekend at the Offset Festival and both are really deserving all the hype they get. Black Devil had a great sound like nothing you hear today. And Metronomy really are band of the year - every track just sucks you in with its quality and fantastic songwriting. I've said it before.

hello -

i worked at smylonylon from 1995-1997. i had most of the tapes at one time but lost them through moves mostly i assume. i have been very successful at finding a lot of the songs i lost. i still talk to the chris's wife judi but there are 2 songs i am trying to find that she can't seem to figure out which ones i am referring to. do you have a track listing of all the mixed tapes??? thanks SO much, melissa.

It's a Pop Song is already posted there as a stand along track. The others I don't have you'll have to track them down on the Internet.
