The venue was tiny (300 people-ish?) and as this was a bit of a ZTT festival and there were 5 bands, I got the impression that I was the only person in there not on someone's guest list :-) The place was 3/4 full, and there was no problem getting to stand at the stge front, which I did for the Buggles... Many famous faces around, TCH was next to me at the bar at one point - buying his own drinks! (Guiness for any fact fanatics out there), and Lol Creme was standing around too... I got the impression that I should have recognised many more of the wealthy & greying people there, but I'm not too up on prog rockers :-) First, Lee Grifiths played a mostly acoustic set on a 6 string, with an occasional drum or string section accompanying... I don't know how representaitve of his work this set was, but I got the impression that he'll be filling Seal's vacant shoes quite nicely if TCH is producing. Next was the Marbles - a 3 piece rock band from ireland - very 'indie' rock, melodic but agressive... one song kept threatening to turn into the Jam's 'That's Entertainment', and the last one would fit well on the last Blur album. The encore to their set was announced as 'a treat for those of us over 19 years old'.... This was the Buggles re-union, which was slightly disappointing in that it consisted of just one song (video killed...), but rapturously recieved (possibly because 90% of the audience work for ZTT?). The band consisted of Trevor Horn on vocals (playing to the crowd by blinking under the spotlights and looking most out of place centre-stage) Geoff playing the Marble's Rhodes piano (no big keyboard rig!), the Marbles providing drums, lead and bass guitar and a female vocalist doing the 'ooh-oohs' and all of them turned up on stage with the trademark glasses (quickly disposed of by all but TCH). Sonically it was a slightly faster but much 'rock-ier' version of the song (maybe closer to the Presidents of the USA version than the Buggles original), well executed if a little tounge-in-cheek. Tevor forgot to switch his megaphone on for the first line of the megaphone part, and Geoff didn't have enough hands to do the twiddly part after "they took the credit for your second symphony". The band recieved a standing ovation, and sloped off to the bar. Later, the other 2 ZTT bands took the stage... (the gaps between bands beng filled by a projection screen showing (to the wrong soundtrack) Adamski's last video and what could have been a new art of noise video - a fancy computer-generated affair) Headspace are a 'spiritualised-esqe' band that were not my cup of tea (3 violins, 3 guitars... no drums and no choruses), and lastly the Frames (not referred to as 'Frames DC' BTW) who were frankly apallingly shamboilc. Another Irish act, sort of a grown up version of the Pogues...they were beset with technical problems and lacked the stage presence to keep the audience with them during the pauses between songs (which were often longer than the songs themselves). Overall it was well worth the 5 pounds admission price considering the 5 bands on offer, even if I kept harking back to ZTT's 'value of entertainment' show many years ago, which did the same thing a lot better. As an introduction to ZTT's new acts, it served it's purpose... I'll be buying Lee Griffiths stuff, recommending the Marbles to a friend, and avoiding the output of Headspace & The Frames. - - Andy R. - - Andy R. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info ztt" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email ztt@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # ZTT discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?ztt ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Dec 1998 11:29:34 -0800 From: jon Subject: (ztt) 808 State promos/remixes for sale Afternoon...

When you get there click on "Mark's Picks" and then on "ZTT backtrax" and then the pictures and text will come up. I'd love to know if the corrected version with the track listing that actually matches the sleeve was ever released. Overall, I think the promo was very nicely designed. The text about ZTT's importance in electronica music is a bit over-hyped, out-dated (pacifiers? come on, that scene died out in like 1990!), and out in general (why mention The Frames, Shane MacGowan or Adamski's Thing?). Oh well, injoy the scans.
