The Temper Trap: Science Of Fear (Radio Sessions)

TREON087
Science Of Fear is a collection of radio sessions from The Temper Trap dated between 2009 and 2012.

Notes:
Excellent sound quality throughout. Only "In For The Kill" sounds like it's come from the FM source and I've done my best to clean it up. All the rest seem to be from a pre-FM mp3 no lower than 128kbps.

Tracklist:
01 - Love Lost (Transmissions Session, June 2010)
02 - Sweet Disposition (Transmissions Session, June 2010)
03 - Fader (Transmissions Session, June 2010)
04 - Science Of Fear (Transmissions Session, June 2010)
05 - Sweet Disposition (Live on Triple J 27.11.09)
06 - Dancing In The Dark (Live on Triple J 27.11.09)
07 - In For The Kill (Radio 1 Live Lounge 15.12.09)
08 - Fader (Live on KROQ)
09 - Love Lost (Live on KEXP 22.10.09)
10 - Fools (Live on KEXP 22.10.09)
11 - Sweet Disposition (Live on KEXP 22.10.09)
12 - Need Your Love (Laura Leishman Project Le Mouv Session 26.04.12)

Jeff Buckley: The Velvet Jungle

TREON085
The Velvet Jungle session was recorded in the Europe 1 Radio Studio on the 15th February 1995 and broadcasted a few days later on a Arte TV (a German/French channel) with the title 'Top Live'. Some of this set was also rebroadcast some years later on a French Cable TV channel ('Paris Première') as part of the the 'Velvet Jungle' show.

Notes:
Originally sourced from the "Black Session" bootleg and then declipped and cleaned up to improve the sound. Although the result is a slightly warmer and richer, the overall sound is still a little flat for me and it does sound a little muddy at certain points due to the TV broadcast source. That being said this is still a very good recording that's well worth a listen.

Tracklist:
01 - Dream Brother
02 - So Real
03 - Last Goodbye
04 - Mojo Pin
05 - Grace
06 - Eternal Life
07 - Interview

The Seahorses: Minus Blue (Unreleased Album Sessions)

TREON082
The Seahorses had a lot of success with their debut album "Do It Yourself". It reached No2 in the UK album charts in May 1997 and would produce three top 20 singles but dispite the stand alone single "You Can Talk To Me" also getting top 20 status (reaching 15) there would be no more official releases from the band.

In January 1999 the band began recording their second album (under the working title of Minus Blue/Motocade) at the Olympic Studios with producer David Bottrill but the sessions were abandoned after guitarist and songwriter John Squire walked out of the studio and didn't return. The band's split was officially announced on 23rd January 1999, with a press release citing musical differences. It would later become apparant that it was tensions between lead singer and songwriter Chris Helm and Squire that came to a head which lead to the walkout and the end of The Seahorses.

Check out this great interview with lead-singer Chris Helme about his time with the band and his working relationship with John Squire. 

Notes:
Way back in 2005 I purchased a CD-r of 10 tracks from the unreleased 2nd album sessions from a friend of a friend. I have no idea where these tracks were sourced but they do appear to be slightly different source than the tracks found on john-squire.com but I do wonder if that is simply down to differing compression rates. After comparing the two sources I decided to use the mp3 source as the base for my "remaster" as the CD-r source definitely sounded softer to my ears.

Tracklist: 
Remastered & Original Source
01 - Night Train
02 - 700 Horses
03 - Anamorphosis
04 - I Want You
05 - Cocksucker Blues
06 - Reach Out
07 - Dolphin
08 - Something Tells Me
09 - What Can You See? (Into The Light)
10 - Tombraid

Bonus Tracks Live Stuff:
01 - 1999 (Shepherds Bush Empire 09.12.97)
02 - City In The Sky (Ashton 30.03.98)
03 - Kill Pussycat Kill (Den Bosch 27.11.97)
04 - Love Me And Leave Me (Chris Solo Version, Key 103 '97)
05 - Tombraid (Ashton 30.03.98)
06 - Won't Let You Fall (Ashton 30.03.98)

Oasis: Glastonbury Glory (23.06.1995)

TREON080
Oasis perform live at the Glastonbury Festival on the 23rd June 1995.

Notes:
Here we have the full concert of Oasis live at Glastonbury on June 23rd, 1995, which happened to be the first gig with new drummer Alan White. The set includes a mixture of songs from their debut, Definitely Maybe, and from their follow-up, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory, which was released almost four months after this appearance.
Their Glastonbury appearance marks the first live performances of what would become two of their definitive songs, Morning Glory and Roll With It (the latter of which was at the forefront of that summer’s much-hyped Britpop wars). It is also the introduction of ‘The Swamp Song’ and Hello. Also, notably, this appearance marks the first electric performance of Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Tracklist:
01 - The Swamp Song
02 - Acquiesce
03 - (Banter)
04 - Supersonic
05 - Hello
06 - Some Might Say
07 - Shakermaker
08 - Roll With It
09 - Slide Away
10 - (It's Good) To Be Free
11 - Morning Glory
12 - Cigarettes & Alcohol
13 - I Am The Walrus
14 - Don't Look Back In Anger
15 - Live Forever
16 - Rock 'n' Roll Star
17 - Wonderwall (Live Backstage, Acoustic 24.06.95)

Jeff Buckley: Pretty Dark Soul (A Collection Of Radio Sessions)

TREON079
Pretty Dark Soul is a collection of three radio sessions by Jeff Buckley, taken from 1994 and 1995.

Notes:
The sound quality varies here due to the archive nature of the source material. There are quite a few clicks and skips here and there which is why these sessions didn't make it in to my "Asking To Stay" collection. I have left these sessions complete as it's always great to hear interviews and playful banter from Jeff and the band.

01 - Intro
02 - Grace
03 - Interview
04 - Mojo Pin
