6:23 Speaker 3: and you know what I do here at WM and H.

6:26 Speaker 3: Of course I do Matt Conorton Unleashed every Saturday morning.

6:28 Speaker 3: Here we are live from nine am to twelve noon

6:32 Speaker 3: Eastern time, you know. And of course we have a

6:34 Speaker 3: lot of listeners locally here in Manchester, and we have

6:36 Speaker 3: listeners online from all over the place, obviously even from

6:41 Speaker 3: Europe because we interview a lot of artists from Europe.

6:43 Speaker 3: But I also have been doing I just want to

6:47 Speaker 3: mention this briefly because I want to say thank you

6:49 Speaker 3: to some people and just express some gratitude. I've always

6:52 Speaker 3: for well not always, but for many many years, and

6:55 Speaker 3: I've lost track of how many it is, but I've

6:58 Speaker 3: been kind of on twice here. Well actually even more

7:01 Speaker 3: than twice because for a long time this show was

7:03 Speaker 3: weekday afternoons, but I've been on two different shows. So

7:06 Speaker 3: of course I host this show every Saturday morning currently here,

7:10 Speaker 3: and I also on Friday nights again for many years,

7:14 Speaker 3: I've been a co host on retro Spectrum Radio on

7:17 Speaker 3: Friday nights here on WMNH. And I just want to

7:19 Speaker 3: let people know and I do want to say some

7:22 Speaker 3: thank you. Last night was my last night on retro

7:26 Speaker 3: Spectrum Radio. Does not affect this show in any way,

7:29 Speaker 3: so we will continue here, of course, but I will

7:32 Speaker 3: no longer be on that show. But I did want

7:33 Speaker 3: to say thank you to everyone who listens to the

7:36 Speaker 3: show who has been a fan of the show. The show,

7:39 Speaker 3: as far as I know, will continue without me, Like

7:41 Speaker 3: the song says, life goes on without me, but I will,

7:45 Speaker 3: but I will not be there. So sixteen years total.

7:50 Speaker 3: Something that Retrospectrum Radio and this show both have in

7:53 Speaker 3: common in that not only you know, my involvement of

7:58 Speaker 3: course obviously, but also just like this show, that show

8:01 Speaker 3: started as a podcast before coming to FM radio, so

8:06 Speaker 3: same path as this show, you know, partly because of

8:09 Speaker 3: my involvement, of course, but but yeah, we started that

8:12 Speaker 3: show sixteen years ago originally as a podcast, and you know,

8:17 Speaker 3: it's it's grown over the years, obviously, and we brought

8:20 Speaker 3: it to WM and H and I've been very proud

8:22 Speaker 3: and happy to have been a big part of that,

8:24 Speaker 3: of course, and you know, working with Paul on that

8:28 Speaker 3: Paul of course as the host, and I've been as

8:29 Speaker 3: like I said, I've been as co host for sixteen

8:31 Speaker 3: years total, not sixteen years consecutively, because there were there

8:35 Speaker 3: were times when we did not do the show, but

8:38 Speaker 3: the show's been pretty consistent here at WM and H.

8:40 Speaker 3: For I don't know, I lose track oft time more

8:43 Speaker 3: and more so as I get older, I just lose track.

8:44 Speaker 3: It all becomes a blur. Since what twenty nine, I mean,

8:47 Speaker 3: it was before the pandemic when we started it, so

8:51 Speaker 3: so a long time. So so obviously over the course

8:55 Speaker 3: of that time, you know, listeners of that show have

8:56 Speaker 3: gotten to know me and and I just want to

8:58 Speaker 3: say thank you to everybody who supported the show, and

9:02 Speaker 3: of course all the great people that I worked with

9:04 Speaker 3: on that show. I was Paul's co host consistently for

9:08 Speaker 3: for the entire time, but there's been various other people

9:10 Speaker 3: too who have come and gone over the years, and

9:13 Speaker 3: you know, and of course at the end we had

9:15 Speaker 3: Glenn and Brooklyn, Mike, they were there last night, of course,

9:19 Speaker 3: and so yeah, quite a run. But the time has

9:22 Speaker 3: come we have parted ways again. I assume the show

9:26 Speaker 3: will continue. But I did want to say thank you

9:28 Speaker 3: to all the listeners of that program, everyone who has

9:31 Speaker 3: been supportive of the show and of me. If you

9:33 Speaker 3: you know, if you were listening, you know, if I

9:36 Speaker 3: had anything to do with drawing you into that show,

9:39 Speaker 3: thank you, Thank you for supporting and of course all

9:42 Speaker 3: the great people that I worked with on that show.

9:44 Speaker 3: And thank you to Paul. You know, we had a

9:46 Speaker 3: good run, but it's time to move on again. This

9:49 Speaker 3: show continues. I will still be here every Saturday morning,

9:53 Speaker 3: but you know, the reality is I do have a

9:54 Speaker 3: lot of projects. I do have a lot going on.

9:58 Speaker 3: I've got anyone who knows me at all knows I'm

10:00 Speaker 3: a very, very busy guy. So having my Friday nights

10:04 Speaker 3: a little less structure than they have been for the past,

10:07 Speaker 3: I don't know, however many years now, quite a few years,

10:12 Speaker 3: not a bad thing, not a bad thing.

10:14 Speaker 2: So so we go forward from there.

10:17 Speaker 3: This is not me stepping away from that show temporarily,

10:20 Speaker 3: not me just you know, taking a break from it.

10:22 Speaker 3: This is permanent. I will not be back on that program.

10:24 Speaker 3: But so I just wanted to let everyone know that

10:26 Speaker 3: and again just express some gratitude, you know, for everyone

10:29 Speaker 3: who's been supportive and and you know, I did hear

10:31 Speaker 3: from some people, some people reached out to me, you know,

10:34 Speaker 3: and the details don't matter, but I'm just saying I

10:37 Speaker 3: want to I want to end officially because I didn't

10:40 Speaker 3: have a chance to do it last night, but I

10:42 Speaker 3: do want to end my tenure on that program on

10:45 Speaker 3: a on a positive note. And and again express gratitude

10:50 Speaker 3: to everyone who's been so supportive. And I assume this

10:53 Speaker 3: show will continue, and you know, there's there's no shortage

10:58 Speaker 3: of people who enjoy being on that program. I'm sure.

11:00 Speaker 3: So Retrospect Radio Friday nights here on WMNH ninety five

11:03 Speaker 3: point three FM. And of course, going forward, we continue

11:07 Speaker 3: on with Matt connorton Unleashed every Saturday morning right here

11:11 Speaker 3: on WMNH ninety five point three FM. And we're gonna

11:14 Speaker 3: go ahead and get ready for our first guest. So

11:16 Speaker 3: again we've got Johnny Collins, who's gonna be joining us

11:19 Speaker 3: via Microsoft teams all the way from the UK and

11:22 Speaker 3: talking about Modesty Blaze. And let's play this is the

11:28 Speaker 3: you know, they sent me both the single and the

11:31 Speaker 3: full album version. I'm gonna go ahead and play the

11:33 Speaker 3: full album version. This is called Carol Mountain and this

11:36 Speaker 3: is the remastered version of Carol Mountain by Modesty Blaze.

11:41 Speaker 3: And when we get Johnny on the line with us,

11:43 Speaker 3: Johnny Collins, he'll explain everything about the new remaster reissue

11:48 Speaker 3: of this album of the work of Modesty Blaze. This

11:51 Speaker 3: is really unique too, by the way, it's an unusual

11:54 Speaker 3: show today in a sense, we open with some country.

11:56 Speaker 3: You don't usually hear country on the show, and this

11:58 Speaker 3: is pretty unique as well. I think you're gonna enjoy it.

12:01 Speaker 3: But Modesty Blaze Carol Mountain, the brand new remastered version,

12:04 Speaker 3: and then on the other side of this, we'll talk

12:06 Speaker 3: with Johnny Collins.

13:00 Speaker 11: So so st so.

14:07 Speaker 8: Mary, I saw your husband many were a gun?

14:27 Speaker 12: Whens a gun?

14:29 Speaker 8: You should have married me? Now the wealthy w.

15:24 Speaker 13: Mot again the song Day.

15:34 Speaker 3: Song Day, Well, that is cool. That is called Carol Mountain.

18:07 Speaker 3: That is the remaster of it from the three disc

18:10 Speaker 3: anniversary edition of Melancholia from Modesty Blaze. And we've got

18:15 Speaker 3: Johnny Collins from Modesty Blaze with us via Microsoft teams

18:18 Speaker 3: all the way from across upon as we say, hey, Johnny,

18:21 Speaker 3: are you there?

18:23 Speaker 12: Hey, I'm here, How are you hey?

18:24 Speaker 6: Good?

18:24 Speaker 3: Welcome to the program.

18:26 Speaker 2: I really, I really yeah, yeah, it's great to talk

18:30 Speaker 2: with you.

18:30 Speaker 3: I really like this a lot. You know, the this

18:32 Speaker 3: is something to this project, Modesty Blaze. It's really kind

18:35 Speaker 3: of outside the norm of a lot of what you

18:37 Speaker 3: hear on this program. And you know, what you hear

18:40 Speaker 3: on on radio generally, at least in America, So very

18:44 Speaker 3: very interesting to listen to it, and you know, I'm

18:46 Speaker 3: impressed with this is a lot there. It sounds like,

18:50 Speaker 3: obviously we're going to talk about the remaster and everything,

18:52 Speaker 3: but I assume when this was recorded originally, it was

18:56 Speaker 3: quite the undertaking, right, because it's very dense. There's a

18:59 Speaker 3: lot there. There's a lot of layers, probably a lot

19:02 Speaker 3: of tracks involved in recording something like that. I would

19:04 Speaker 3: think even just the vocals are so layered and just

19:08 Speaker 3: really really interesting. I'm fascinated by the production.

19:12 Speaker 12: It's a sixteen track analog production, but obviously, as you

19:18 Speaker 12: can just hear from that, it's got everything in it.

19:22 Speaker 12: We do say that not only do we throw the

19:25 Speaker 12: kitchen sink in, we break in next door, rip their

19:27 Speaker 12: sink out and throw that in as well. Yes, so

19:31 Speaker 12: everything had to be mixed down, so drums are recorded

19:34 Speaker 12: and then mixed down to two tracks, and then I

19:38 Speaker 12: remember at the end when we're putting the strings on,

19:40 Speaker 12: we just had one track, and so everybody had to

19:43 Speaker 12: play at the same time and get it right at

19:46 Speaker 12: the same time. More than fifty percent of the budget

19:50 Speaker 12: for the entire album went into Carol Mountain, so it

19:54 Speaker 12: was a massive undertaking. It was eleven months of recording

19:59 Speaker 12: and you know what, I know what. I didn't make

20:02 Speaker 12: it easy for myself, Matt. We did things because I

20:05 Speaker 12: thought I wanted to do them in that particular way.

20:08 Speaker 12: But for instance, in Carrol Mountain, which is about an

20:12 Speaker 12: unrequited love for Brian Wilson, Oh, they re here's and

20:20 Speaker 12: villains and con vibrations in different studios. Well, I'm going

20:25 Speaker 12: to use the same studio. I can't record it in

20:28 Speaker 12: different studios. I'll tell you what, I'll use completely different instruments.

20:33 Speaker 12: So it was recorded in sections. Oh there are four

20:36 Speaker 12: different drum kits on there and you can't tell, right,

20:41 Speaker 12: It's just me making things difficult for myself.

20:43 Speaker 3: Wow, when you look back on that now, obviously today

20:48 Speaker 3: we have the benefit of technology, and technology moves very fast,

20:52 Speaker 3: and you know, over the course of twenty five years,

20:54 Speaker 3: obviously technology has moved very fast, and in terms of

20:56 Speaker 3: the way that you record and everything. When you look bad,

21:01 Speaker 3: I would imagine obviously if you were to record this

21:04 Speaker 3: exact same thing today, it would it would be easier

21:06 Speaker 3: in some ways, although maybe harder in others because because

21:09 Speaker 3: of the options and the choices that you have to

21:11 Speaker 3: make when recording.

21:12 Speaker 12: But I mean, you're definitely right, is there?

21:18 Speaker 13: Oh?

21:18 Speaker 3: Go ahead?

21:19 Speaker 12: Well, the I've known people and now everybody has a

21:25 Speaker 12: studio because they've got a laptop on a microphone and

21:29 Speaker 12: it's automatically one hundred times more powerful than Abby Road

21:33 Speaker 12: was when the Beatles recorded there? Right, So what's your excuse?

21:38 Speaker 12: There's there's an awful lot to be said for the

21:41 Speaker 12: restraint of studio time. This is costing you money make

21:44 Speaker 12: a decision. Musicians will will put off making a decision

21:49 Speaker 12: as long as they possibly can. I don't call myself

21:52 Speaker 12: a musician. I'm quite happy to make decisions. So in

21:56 Speaker 12: order to fit all of that onto a sixteen chart recording,

21:59 Speaker 12: there was a lot of decisions being made all the.

22:01 Speaker 3: Time, no doubt, no doubt. How many you mentioned to

22:07 Speaker 3: the string section that was all going on to one track,

22:10 Speaker 3: so they had to get it right. I mean, do

22:12 Speaker 3: you remember, obviously it was a long time ago, but

22:14 Speaker 3: do you remember how many takes it took before they

22:17 Speaker 3: got it right.

22:19 Speaker 12: Well, unfortunately we didn't have the luxury of taking and

22:22 Speaker 12: keeping it all, so it was only three or four

22:27 Speaker 12: I think.

22:27 Speaker 2: Oh good.

22:29 Speaker 12: The the the end section at the end, there were

22:32 Speaker 12: they're coming in and there's an orchestral section with a

22:35 Speaker 12: theremin that was that was two takes. The other take.

22:39 Speaker 12: The other take is on the kind of like the

22:41 Speaker 12: outtakes disc and and I know because I conducted them.

22:46 Speaker 12: I conducted them at that time.

22:48 Speaker 3: Wow.

22:49 Speaker 12: And I know they all thought it was too slow,

22:51 Speaker 12: but it was what I had intended, right, Yeah, when

22:56 Speaker 12: you the horns as well, A lot of horns were

22:58 Speaker 12: all onto one track as well. Oh no, very difficult,

23:02 Speaker 12: very difficult.

23:03 Speaker 3: That had to be. Do you remember how many takes

23:05 Speaker 3: that took? Probably around the same.

23:08 Speaker 12: Four, I think to be to be fair, the people

23:11 Speaker 12: that were playing were quite exceptional. I didn't know many

23:14 Speaker 12: of them before we started. But what I did was

23:19 Speaker 12: I managed to get in the in the days before

23:23 Speaker 12: people were worried about privacy, I managed to get a

23:26 Speaker 12: list of names and numbers of people from a local

23:29 Speaker 12: symphony orchestra and I just called them up, would you

23:33 Speaker 12: be free to do some recording?

23:35 Speaker 3: Wow?

23:35 Speaker 12: And we'll pick you up and take you back and

23:38 Speaker 12: feed you. And that's what we did. So I didn't

23:43 Speaker 12: know many of them before. I still know a few

23:45 Speaker 12: of them now, which is really good. So yeah, they

23:50 Speaker 12: were they were all highly competent.

23:52 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yeah, I mean you had to find the

23:55 Speaker 3: right people obviously for you know, for an undertaking like this. Again,

23:58 Speaker 3: it's there's a lot going on, and like you said,

24:00 Speaker 3: it's it's the kitchen sink and the kitchen sink of

24:03 Speaker 3: the next door neighbor.

24:04 Speaker 12: That's right.

24:06 Speaker 3: Now, Why why did you decide to do this the remaster?

24:10 Speaker 3: This the it's again the twenty fifth anniversary of Melancholia?

24:14 Speaker 3: Why now? And why did it take this long to

24:17 Speaker 3: bring it to streaming?

24:19 Speaker 13: You know what?

24:20 Speaker 12: I think that the twenty fifth was a bit of

24:24 Speaker 12: a fortunate thing. Once I put out that we were

24:27 Speaker 12: going to do it, we kind of got forced into it.

24:29 Speaker 12: But I actually wanted to do it on the twenty

24:31 Speaker 12: sixth Fana versary because I thought it would be funnier.

24:35 Speaker 12: You're not wrong, and it just it just so happens

24:39 Speaker 12: that the album that I thought was being released was

24:42 Speaker 12: released in two thousand, was actually released in twenty oh one.

24:45 Speaker 12: So I was wrong. We this this album sold very well,

24:53 Speaker 12: did very well, and in fact has some quite obsessive

24:56 Speaker 12: fans for which I am very grateful. Over In continential Europe, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,

25:05 Speaker 12: various other countries of Scandinavia as well, and Japan, so

25:10 Speaker 12: it has some some big fans there. And we were

25:12 Speaker 12: getting a lot of questions, why can't I get this

25:14 Speaker 12: on streaming? Why can't I?

25:16 Speaker 13: Do you know?

25:17 Speaker 12: Where is it? And at which point we kind of

25:20 Speaker 12: and and then a lot of the sort of questions,

25:23 Speaker 12: how did you record this.

25:25 Speaker 5: So right?

25:27 Speaker 13: What if to it?

25:27 Speaker 12: Let's do it properly, Let's go and remaster it properly,

25:31 Speaker 12: go through the whole process and try and answer some

25:35 Speaker 12: of those questions with the music rather than by email.

25:40 Speaker 3: Right right, That makes sense? Yeah, And I read something

25:45 Speaker 3: you said the goal wasn't wasn't reinventioned, but revealing extra

25:50 Speaker 3: detail when you went back and listened to because I

25:55 Speaker 3: you know, I can just tell you just personally anecdotally,

25:57 Speaker 3: I've I've had the experience of listening into music that

26:01 Speaker 3: I listened to a long time ago and hearing things,

26:04 Speaker 3: you know, like if I'm wearing really good headphones, i

26:07 Speaker 3: might hear something in a song that I've heard a

26:09 Speaker 3: thousand times over the course of my life. But then

26:11 Speaker 3: I maybe I'm listening to good headphones or through really

26:13 Speaker 3: good speakers, and I'll hear details that I never noticed before.

26:16 Speaker 3: I might hear something that I didn't pick up on

26:18 Speaker 3: when I listened to that originally. And I'm wondering, when

26:20 Speaker 3: you went back and listened to all of these all

26:22 Speaker 3: of these songs, did you start hearing things that that

26:25 Speaker 3: you forgot about or maybe you or things that you

26:28 Speaker 3: knew were in there, but you really didn't think the

26:32 Speaker 3: listeners probably knew that those things were in there.

26:34 Speaker 12: Yeah, you know what, You're absolutely right, Matt, and you

26:38 Speaker 12: hit the nail on the head really good headphones. I

26:41 Speaker 12: we went back to the studio. David Tuppy Brown, the

26:44 Speaker 12: bass that was with me as well. There were definitely

26:47 Speaker 12: things in there that he hadn't heard before. At the

26:51 Speaker 12: end of one of the string parts, there's one of

26:54 Speaker 12: the strings on the on one of the cellos broke

26:58 Speaker 12: and I left it in. Oh, and he had never

27:01 Speaker 12: heard that before. Oh, there you go, listen to that.

27:05 Speaker 12: That's fantastic. But I was astonished to hear it again

27:12 Speaker 12: on the huge studio speakers. And then spent a good

27:17 Speaker 12: week bemoaning to everybody who had listen. When did we

27:22 Speaker 12: give up having proper speakers in our houses? We're now

27:25 Speaker 12: listening on these tiny little things on phones and on

27:29 Speaker 12: little airphones. And I went out and bought a pair

27:31 Speaker 12: of high end headphones to not annoy the neighbors. But

27:36 Speaker 12: we've definitely lost something. I remember when I bought my

27:39 Speaker 12: first set of stereo speakers with the money from my

27:42 Speaker 12: part time job. They were huge, you know, you could

27:46 Speaker 12: it took two people to carry one of them, and

27:49 Speaker 12: then ages to try and set them up in the room,

27:52 Speaker 12: and then you know, I've got the base rocking the

27:57 Speaker 12: foundations of the house. We've given that up, and we've

28:00 Speaker 12: given up a lot through doing that. So I did

28:02 Speaker 12: buy some expensive headphones after the process of doing this,

28:06 Speaker 12: and I have gone back and started listening to everything again,

28:10 Speaker 12: just as you intimated.

28:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and you're right, by the way, that's an

28:14 Speaker 3: interesting observation that you make, and you're right. And it's

28:17 Speaker 3: the same in America too. I mean, we have given

28:18 Speaker 3: that up about you know, the even me. I mean,

28:21 Speaker 3: you know, I'm a radio guy, I'm a musician. You know,

28:24 Speaker 3: you would think I have some really good speakers in

28:26 Speaker 3: my home and I don't. You know, I've got some

28:29 Speaker 3: decent headphones, but I don't have I don't have good speakers. Yeah,

28:32 Speaker 3: we have lost something with that, and also too with streaming.

28:36 Speaker 3: You know, depending on where you stream something there's varying

28:39 Speaker 3: degrees of quality too. You know, if you stream something

28:41 Speaker 3: on YouTube, it's not going to sound as good as

28:43 Speaker 3: if you're listening to the wave file. And you know

28:46 Speaker 3: all of that.

28:46 Speaker 12: So yeah, I mean I've got I've got my little

28:48 Speaker 12: air AirPods in now so the so that the speakers

28:53 Speaker 12: are right in my ears. The other thing I've been

28:55 Speaker 12: obsessing about is this idea of moving air. So when

29:01 Speaker 12: we record, we move air into a microphone and that

29:06 Speaker 12: then when it's played back, we move air out of

29:09 Speaker 12: speakers to us. Again, it's a much more analog way

29:13 Speaker 12: of doing things. You record digitally and you might put

29:17 Speaker 12: a sample on a keyboard and it's digital. You haven't

29:21 Speaker 12: moved any air. And that's what I've been future recordings

29:25 Speaker 12: are coming from modestly Blaze, and that's what I've been

29:29 Speaker 12: currently obsessing about. The Movement of air all leads into

29:34 Speaker 12: that same thing to do with the with the size

29:38 Speaker 12: of the speakers and what we've lost. I think the

29:42 Speaker 12: other thing is, and this may not something that I

29:46 Speaker 12: admit from listening to it for remastering, was it's a

29:50 Speaker 12: really weird album, isn't it. There are songs about death

29:57 Speaker 12: and stalking and suicide and all sorts of stuff like that,

30:00 Speaker 12: but with nice, happy tunes. I'm curious. I hadn't realized that.

30:06 Speaker 12: I think that in retrospect, you can look back on

30:09 Speaker 12: things that you create. And you're a musician, you know

30:11 Speaker 12: there's suff you look back on things and think, oh,

30:14 Speaker 12: I wonder what I was thinking. Then I wonder where

30:16 Speaker 12: that came from? What was what was that about?

30:20 Speaker 3: No, you're right, though, there are some dark themes on

30:22 Speaker 3: the album, but I think that's part of what drew me.

30:23 Speaker 3: And I listened to the whole thing, and uh, it's

30:26 Speaker 3: I think part of that is, you know, it's that Yeah,

30:31 Speaker 3: I'm not sure the term I'm looking for, but you

30:33 Speaker 3: know that those those dark themes, but with this very

30:37 Speaker 3: happy sounding music that contrast that exists in the music.

30:41 Speaker 3: I think that's part of what makes it so interesting

30:43 Speaker 3: and compelling, you know, and and the vocals and the

30:45 Speaker 3: production and all of it.

30:47 Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean I think it's sunshine pulp twilight.

30:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.

30:57 Speaker 12: It's crescular pulp venting genres.

31:02 Speaker 3: There, there you go, there you go. Now, So with

31:04 Speaker 3: the modern mastering technology that you used to do this,

31:08 Speaker 3: was there ever a point where you were concerned about Obviously,

31:11 Speaker 3: the goal is to bring things forth that maybe were

31:15 Speaker 3: in the back of the mix before that you couldn't

31:17 Speaker 3: even hear, right, But I mean, were you ever was

31:19 Speaker 3: there ever a point where you were concerned about sort

31:20 Speaker 3: of losing something in that too, maybe losing the vibe

31:24 Speaker 3: of what you had originally done.

31:26 Speaker 12: Martin Nichols, who was the original engineer on it, was

31:29 Speaker 12: also the remastering engineer, and he is this is his area,

31:36 Speaker 12: It's what he does. He these days, he mostly is

31:41 Speaker 12: doing reissues and remasters and getting stuff off old tapes.

31:48 Speaker 12: He does a lot of He does a lot of

31:51 Speaker 12: really really high end stuff. He's very much in demand.

31:55 Speaker 12: I pulled rank in order to get the studio time,

31:59 Speaker 12: and so I'm less worried about that. You know what,

32:02 Speaker 12: though I've lost some frequency from my ears. So it's

32:05 Speaker 12: also it's also done usually in terms of graphic eques

32:13 Speaker 12: and that sort of thing. So I wasn't concerned about

32:17 Speaker 12: losing anything because I trust the people I'm working with. Yeah,

32:21 Speaker 12: that's just I think we just there were They're just

32:26 Speaker 12: little subtle changes. I've done ab viarisons with the with

32:32 Speaker 12: the original album. I've done a lot of that, and

32:35 Speaker 12: I think that it's it is subtle. It is very subtle.

32:42 Speaker 12: And then obviously there the constraints that you get from

32:45 Speaker 12: streaming services are something that you really can't do a

32:49 Speaker 12: lot about it, but you can try and optimize what

32:52 Speaker 12: you do. This isn't a case of a remaster where

32:55 Speaker 12: you go into the studio and you just turn everything

32:58 Speaker 12: up as loud as it can. A huge, huge dynamic

33:00 Speaker 12: range on this album, and I think we've you know,

33:04 Speaker 12: refunished to refunished to just enhance that role and replace it.

33:08 Speaker 3: You brought up another really important point though about it's

33:11 Speaker 3: so important to have other other ears, uh, listening to

33:15 Speaker 3: this as you're as you're doing the remastering and or

33:19 Speaker 3: mixing or whatever it is that you're doing. Because like

33:21 Speaker 3: you said, and because I can relate to what you

33:23 Speaker 3: said about losing frequencies. You know, I've I've not had

33:26 Speaker 3: my own ears tested, but I know for a fact

33:28 Speaker 3: I have hearing damage. I wake up every morning with

33:30 Speaker 3: tonight as I can hear the ringing once I get going.

33:33 Speaker 3: It's fine, but I know that I've lost just in

33:38 Speaker 3: the wrong places, exactly exactly, so I can relate to

33:43 Speaker 3: what you were saying about, because as people who don't

33:46 Speaker 3: have hearing loss don't understand, it's not simply for for

33:50 Speaker 3: some of us, it's not simply a matter of oh,

33:52 Speaker 3: you just kind of can't hear everything as well as

33:55 Speaker 3: you used to. You can, you can lose certain frequencies

33:58 Speaker 3: but maintain other frequencies, because you know I experienced this,

34:01 Speaker 3: and I'm sure you do too. Sometimes I can't hear

34:04 Speaker 3: things very well, but there will be other times I'll

34:07 Speaker 3: hear things that other people don't even notice, and someone

34:10 Speaker 3: will say, oh, wow, you have really good hearing, and

34:12 Speaker 3: it's like, no, actually I don't have good hearing, but

34:15 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, that particular frequency, I'm able to easily

34:18 Speaker 3: pick up.

34:19 Speaker 12: Oh yes, now you're completely right on that. I've if

34:23 Speaker 12: if I've got something that is special, it's my ear.

34:28 Speaker 12: And you know, I can go and listen to orchestras

34:31 Speaker 12: and say, oh, that's second French French orn is a

34:34 Speaker 12: bit flat flat. I've got that, and it's something I'm

34:39 Speaker 12: very protective of these days. I do make sure, I'm

34:45 Speaker 12: wearing ear plugged and various things, so.

34:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do the same.

34:51 Speaker 12: That just sounds really old and not very rock and

34:53 Speaker 12: rolled at all. We've both got tonight that'll do.

34:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then so the band, Well, I

35:00 Speaker 3: haven't asked you the obvious question yet. Where does a

35:02 Speaker 3: name come from? Modesty Blaze? What does that mean?

35:05 Speaker 12: So it's a cartoon strip. She was like a female

35:10 Speaker 12: James Bond and in the local paper in Bristol it

35:14 Speaker 12: used to be, it was in the back of the

35:16 Speaker 12: paper every night. I used to read that. I remember

35:19 Speaker 12: saying to Dave at some point, why aren't we called

35:21 Speaker 12: Modesty Blaze? And none of us could think of a reason,

35:25 Speaker 12: so we did. Transpires that that was pre internet. Had

35:30 Speaker 12: we known, we would know that would have known that

35:32 Speaker 12: there was already a Norwegian metal band called Modesty Blaze.

35:37 Speaker 12: But you know, I don't mind being mistaken for a

35:40 Speaker 12: Norwegian metal band every now and then.

35:42 Speaker 3: That's kind of fun. Well, you know, if you think

35:43 Speaker 3: about it, some of the themes in the music is

35:45 Speaker 3: probably similar. There might be some correlation.

35:48 Speaker 12: There could well be. Yeah, well be.

35:51 Speaker 3: Did you ever run in any problem because of the

35:54 Speaker 3: there was already a comic strip you said called this, like,

35:58 Speaker 3: did they ever reach we?

36:00 Speaker 12: We didn't. Obviously we couldn't, you know you, We couldn't

36:02 Speaker 12: get the web the web address and various things like that. Yeah,

36:08 Speaker 12: don't think it really matters. You know, we're obviously not selling,

36:13 Speaker 12: and that all of those comic strips are available available

36:16 Speaker 12: as available as books, and people tend to give them

36:20 Speaker 12: to me as presents. So great, I've got quite a

36:23 Speaker 12: collection of multi blazed books.

36:26 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's cool.

36:28 Speaker 12: It's difficult. It's difficult, isn't it with with with band names.

36:31 Speaker 12: You do something you're then that's then your name, and

36:35 Speaker 12: anything that comes.

36:36 Speaker 3: Up you can have to deal with it exact least.

36:38 Speaker 12: I didn't decide at least I didn't decide that we

36:40 Speaker 12: should be called prefab Sprouts.

36:45 Speaker 2: And what was the scene like back when when you started?

36:48 Speaker 3: So it was in the nineties and I was reading

36:49 Speaker 3: something about so your your debut single was with Edwin Collins.

36:53 Speaker 3: Is that correct?

36:55 Speaker 12: Edwin produced our first single wow his new studio. At

37:00 Speaker 12: the time. I knew Edwin and we played with him,

37:04 Speaker 12: and he had just got his studio prior to recording

37:08 Speaker 12: Gorgeous George with a Girl like que on it, And

37:15 Speaker 12: there was this discussion about him having a new studio

37:18 Speaker 12: and about how he needed to get used to the

37:22 Speaker 12: studio before before recording his album. Oh right, well, well

37:29 Speaker 12: we'll come and record a single with you then, So

37:31 Speaker 12: we did. We went up to the studio and recorded

37:34 Speaker 12: a single, used a lot of the instruments that were

37:36 Speaker 12: there already. So if you listen to our first single,

37:40 Speaker 12: which is Christina Terris and the two tracks are on

37:44 Speaker 12: the B side, if you listen to that and then

37:46 Speaker 12: you listen to Gorgeous George, there are an awful lot

37:48 Speaker 12: of sounds that are similar. Oh okay, only his with

37:53 Speaker 12: an enormous hit.

37:56 Speaker 3: I should mention too, for American listeners who hear the

37:59 Speaker 3: name ad and Collins and say familiar, familiar, Where do

38:03 Speaker 3: I know that name? He had a big hit here

38:06 Speaker 3: in America with Never Met a Girl Like You Before.

38:08 Speaker 3: I think the actual title officially is just a Girl

38:10 Speaker 3: Like You but Never Met a Girl Like You Before.

38:14 Speaker 3: That was a massive hit. It's the only it might

38:17 Speaker 3: be his only big hit in America because it's the

38:20 Speaker 3: only one I can think of. I'd have to look

38:22 Speaker 3: it up. But for again, for American listeners who can't

38:24 Speaker 3: quite place it. That was a massive hit in the

38:27 Speaker 3: nineties here and here in the US.

38:29 Speaker 12: It was an enormous hit worldwide. Yeah, it hit the

38:34 Speaker 12: top five in the UK. It did him much of

38:37 Speaker 12: continental Europe as well, and it's still got a huge life.

38:41 Speaker 12: It's used for advertisements all the time on the Telly.

38:44 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. And did you also did you

38:47 Speaker 3: open for Robbie Williams at the O two Arena? Is

38:49 Speaker 3: that true?

38:51 Speaker 12: Weirdly, yes, very strangely. He had these six big articulated

38:58 Speaker 12: lawyers with his gear and we had our stuff loaded

39:01 Speaker 12: into the back of a small hatchpack.

39:03 Speaker 3: Wow, how did that happen? How did that come about?

39:07 Speaker 12: It came about through uh, knowing the tour manager so

39:13 Speaker 12: and being a late stand in type thing.

39:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so.

39:18 Speaker 6: It was.

39:19 Speaker 12: It was good fun. It was good fun, you know

39:21 Speaker 12: it was. We didn't stay, We didn't stay and watch

39:27 Speaker 12: because Neil Young was that playing that night, so we

39:29 Speaker 12: all went off to watch Neil Young.

39:30 Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, Oh that's funny, that's good.

39:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, I would have done the same thing.

39:38 Speaker 12: Who wouldn't go and see Neil Young? But no disrespect

39:43 Speaker 12: to Robbie. Robbie Madson some some good pop singles.

39:47 Speaker 3: Yeah, Millennium was a big hit in the US, and

39:49 Speaker 3: that's a Robbie Williams sung that I really like. Yeah,

39:52 Speaker 3: absolutely absolutely.

39:53 Speaker 12: Oh that's got the bond sample, hasn't it the it does?

39:57 Speaker 12: You only did twice sample?

39:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, it absolutely does. That's right.

40:02 Speaker 12: Oh go ahead, No, that's why it's a good record.

40:05 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah absolutely. So Now I'm curious what is

40:10 Speaker 3: next for Modesty Blaze. I mean, obviously you're gonna spend

40:13 Speaker 3: you know, this is a big, big project. Of course,

40:15 Speaker 3: the twenty fifth anniversary, the reissue of Melancholia and it's

40:19 Speaker 3: three discs. Is this kind of opening the door to

40:23 Speaker 3: some new material beyond this. I don't know if you're

40:26 Speaker 3: thinking that far ahead, but I'm curious.

40:30 Speaker 12: So there we will re promote our Christmas single. We've

40:36 Speaker 12: got a Christmas single. Oh so when that comes around,

40:38 Speaker 12: we'll do that again this year because it needs to

40:43 Speaker 12: be better known. And there is a new album in

40:49 Speaker 12: the offing. It's being recorded. We've maybe got three or

40:52 Speaker 12: four tracks finished excellent, so that's good. There was an

40:55 Speaker 12: album in twenty twenty one which we released. The did

41:01 Speaker 12: very well, and so in terms of what the next

41:07 Speaker 12: eighteen months looks like new album. And then what we'll

41:12 Speaker 12: do is we'll do the same process but with the

41:15 Speaker 12: first modesty based album, which is called Modern Guitars with Amplification,

41:19 Speaker 12: And so we'll do that with the yearly stuff on

41:25 Speaker 12: the Edwin Collins recordings and in order to get that

41:29 Speaker 12: up onto streaming services again and do the process again

41:34 Speaker 12: and make you know, make it, make it a proper,

41:38 Speaker 12: a proper disc. This has been very well received so far,

41:41 Speaker 12: so I think we're quite heartened by that as an idea.

41:43 Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, No, that's great. By the way, any plans

41:46 Speaker 3: to perform these live, I know that's probably not easy

41:51 Speaker 3: because as we talked about, there's a lot there unless

41:54 Speaker 3: you do kind of strip down versions maybe, But what's

41:56 Speaker 3: the plan there?

41:58 Speaker 12: Well, which worked this album for two years and after

42:02 Speaker 12: a short while, what we did was we put the

42:07 Speaker 12: strings and horns onto a hard disc recorder and we

42:13 Speaker 12: played those along. You know what, most of the bands

42:16 Speaker 12: that you see are doing the same sort of thing.

42:18 Speaker 12: I worked for many years in a very large live

42:21 Speaker 12: music music venue. Of the band that we're playing, we're

42:26 Speaker 12: playing to some kind of playing along to some kind

42:28 Speaker 12: of track. Sure, if you see a if you see

42:31 Speaker 12: a drummer with headphones on, you're you're hearing. Not what

42:36 Speaker 12: you're hearing is more all acoustic. So that's what we did,

42:41 Speaker 12: we could theoretically do again. But you hear this hoarseness

42:44 Speaker 12: in my voice. Yes, yes, that's dysphonia. That's the same

42:49 Speaker 12: thing our FK Junior has. Really, although mine's not quite

42:52 Speaker 12: mine's not quite that bad. Yeah. So I'm on some

42:55 Speaker 12: current drugs at the moment and it's causing a lot

42:58 Speaker 12: of difficulty for speaking and certainly can't do singing. Oh okay,

43:06 Speaker 12: there's a plan for this new album that I'm talking

43:10 Speaker 12: about whereby I'll come off the jokes, get the voice back,

43:14 Speaker 12: record the record the vocals, and then go back on

43:19 Speaker 12: the drugs again.

43:20 Speaker 3: So oh okay, and you can you can do that,

43:23 Speaker 3: You can do that safely.

43:26 Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, it's theemo therapy I'm having. Okay, So that's

43:31 Speaker 12: what's causing it, and we have a long term plan

43:35 Speaker 12: with my oncologists to be able to do that. So yeah,

43:38 Speaker 12: that's what we'll do.

43:39 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Oh excellent, excellent, all right, well, very good.

43:43 Speaker 3: So in a moment at the end of our conversation,

43:47 Speaker 3: we're gonna play, and I think you did reference it earlier.

43:51 Speaker 3: The Little Things You Do of course the remastered version,

43:53 Speaker 3: which I love. Anything we should know about this one,

43:56 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously what's nice about this too is all

43:58 Speaker 3: these all these songs have something distinctive about them. You know,

44:02 Speaker 3: there's there's there's nothing, there's nothing here where you say, oh,

44:06 Speaker 3: that sounds a lot like the song I just listened to.

44:08 Speaker 3: But what should we know about this one? The Little

44:10 Speaker 3: Things You Do?

44:11 Speaker 6: Well?

44:12 Speaker 12: Really, strangely, it was set to be a single. We

44:15 Speaker 12: we got as far as recording, we started filming a

44:21 Speaker 12: video for it. It was gonna strangely, it was going

44:24 Speaker 12: to be a vinyl single, seven inch single for Pappada.

44:29 Speaker 12: I don't know how this happened, and none of us

44:31 Speaker 12: can remember why it didn't happen or what shouldn't have happened.

44:35 Speaker 12: So what you're hearing is the single version, which we

44:37 Speaker 12: recorded at the time. Because the album version goes straight

44:41 Speaker 12: into the next track. What you're hearing is the single version,

44:46 Speaker 12: and it had it had never been released before, So

44:50 Speaker 12: in many ways, this isn't a remaster, it's a master okay,

44:53 Speaker 12: because because he got shelved and neither us nor the

45:00 Speaker 12: people at the record company, who I'm still very good

45:02 Speaker 12: friends with and remember what happened. But it didn't come

45:09 Speaker 12: out as a single. But it is now and it's

45:13 Speaker 12: it's sounding great. Those big big horns on there are

45:17 Speaker 12: really good. Gregor, who's the guitarist, playser is a kind

45:21 Speaker 12: of like lestering guitar sound from it. So it's one

45:26 Speaker 12: I'm still very very pleased with. I think that as

45:30 Speaker 12: a songwriter and lyricist, I have to do. I have

45:33 Speaker 12: to have something in the lyric that I particularly like,

45:37 Speaker 12: and I particularly like it's the way your picture overloads

45:41 Speaker 12: my memory because it was a real thing. We were

45:45 Speaker 12: doing a cover and there was a girl on the

45:49 Speaker 12: cover of the previous single, which was the Uranium Girl,

45:54 Speaker 12: and it kept on crashing the computer that we were using.

45:57 Speaker 12: So it came from that. It's the way your picture

46:00 Speaker 12: loads my memory. That's my favorite.

46:01 Speaker 2: Okay, I get it. Oh that's cool, that's cool.

46:04 Speaker 3: I like that.

46:05 Speaker 12: Back in the days when computers used to crash if

46:07 Speaker 12: you try to load up more than three megabytes, we have.

46:12 Speaker 3: Come a long way with technology, that is for sure.

46:15 Speaker 3: We certainly have that is for sure.

46:17 Speaker 12: If we make the right decision. I'm not sure.

46:21 Speaker 3: Me neither.

46:22 Speaker 12: Hopefully, we couldn't do this, so could we? Mat we

46:25 Speaker 12: couldn't do this. We couldn't talk across the.

46:27 Speaker 2: Effer exactly, exactly.
