Of the various versions of Quantum Baby which have to YouTube so far, which do we think is the best? The obvious criteria would be something like:

• Depth of sound

• Clarity of sound

• Absence of interference, random volume drops etc

• Overall atmosphere

Hello all

Sorry to file a technical support request but I just can't work out how to stop "watching" particular boards on this board. The "if you no longer wish to watch this topic click the following link" in the update doesn't seem to work. Any pointers gratefully received

Songs Of Lost World finally gets a release date. November 1st 2024. Wowser, I never thought I'd see the day. On a related, did any fellow Cureheads manage to nab a copy of the super limited edition November: Live in Paris 2022 single released last month? I only just heard about it and am kicking my...

Leeds O2 Academy 2020 version of "But Genevieve" is definitive for me because it came nicely off the back of what is now the regular intro music: back then, 2 days before the Zombie Apocalypse, we were half-trusting Raveys assertion that Genevieve was being recorded & released imminen...

I got tripped up right away because are we picking the best performances or sound? Like some of the ones I listen most for the performances are phone recorded from the front row with crowd noise and stuff so you might not like them as much if you want the cleanest sound instead. Anyway I'll try to ...

Okay, I'll try that

Do we not think though that Dylan's departure will lower the already slim chances of a record, given that he was a major songwriting contributor?

I think people do have views on it, after a fashion, it's just that they've already given them in several threads fairly recently, here for example ... https://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28802 And I was the thread starter on that one ! :lol: Ha ha, fair enough. I'd forgotten all ...

No nominations then? I thought people would have views on this

We've been talking about this for thirty years now but it boils down to; Von really doesn't want to make a record. Von has no need or incentive to make a record. Ergo he isn't going to make a record. If I have a task that is unpleasant that I don't want to do, but also that I don't need to do it, t...

We haven't seen a single new song performed on this year's tours, and any small remaining chance of any most likely departed with Dylan. So now seems as good a time as any to compile a definitive playlist of the best available versions of all the new songs unveiled since 'Arms' and 'Still'. What wou...

Perhaps the reason that new songs don’t get recorded is a combination of past troubles with record labels and also voice (vocal cord) issues? And sharing writing credits, and the music industry, and releasing an album into this industry climate, and the schedules of the band members, and Vons cats ...

A beguiling vision from another universe

Thanks for the vids. That last one, the complete show, has a lovely bass sound to it. Von's guttural growl is quite prominent. Good separation between him and Ben. Ben is still a little louder, but it may also be something as simple as that his higher range cuts through the mix better. (I've been t...

So the current line-up appears to be something like this: Ben Christo - lead vocals, lead guitars Dylan Smith - rhythm and acoustic guitars, backing vocals Andrew Eldritch - backing vocals, dancing Dave Creffield - "play" button, clapping I appreciate Ben carrying the band on his shoulder...

thats a fu ckng shower of sh it though. people i know who think that thats what The Sisters sound like keep tagging me & posting it! you may as well say all black people look the same or all blondes are dumb. inaccurate offensive & says more about them than the band. i am letting the OP hav...

Okay, so it's Ben: but al the way through? Why does Andrew barely sing on this version? That's all I was asking Yeah, I was at the show. Ben and Dylan both did a lot of singing, but especially Ben. Von was also singing, and could be heard perfectly fine in the beginning and on quieter songs like So...

Fair enough, it didn't occur to me that somebody might already have posted this

Sorry, what mystery extra vocalist? That's Ben doing the baritone in On The Beach when Andrew is absent. Okay, so it's Ben: but al the way through? Why does Andrew barely sing on this version?

High voice: ben Low voice: dylan Quiet growl: Von I know I'm whetter when it rains - all three And when i stand and raise my hand - all three and i know - von Pretty sure that's the only line in this recording that Von exclusively sings. Ben even joins in the second time. Listen to, and watch, the ...

In that case, someone is hopefully looking for a good load of milk and honey to Von ... Anyway, we''ll hear it tonight ... ...

Hopefully so !

https://youtu.be/AK5fcCbDw4Q At time stamp 11:16 Andy K's footage shows that moment from another angle at around the 2:50 mark. It's still relatively obscured but I would say that if nothing else, it challenges the idea that he "visibly stopped" singing. I think it's a confluence of facto...
