Thanks to all those who sacrificed so much so that we may live freely. I thought I'd play around in a higher BPM range for this episode.  I also included a bit more guitar-influenced retro than usual. It's shocking how much the beats per minute can vary in a rock song over the duration without a click track, even with a world class drummer manning the kit. Makes beat matching a challenge. Still, lots to like in this episode with some eminently familiar tracks, some deeper cuts and I'd wager an unfamiliar track or two for all but the most learned retro music experts. Happy Listening!1. New Order are: Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert - from the album Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)2. AFOS are: Mike Score, Ali Score, Frank Maudsley, Paul Reynolds - from the album Listen "...more moody, and dark...more electronic...more out-there" - Mike Score; #22 UK (1983)3.

Tones on Tail are: Daniel Ash, Glenn Campling, Kevin Haskins; Go! originally released as a B-side of "Lions"; became a huge club hit in Germany and US; used in lots of movies and commercials since; (1984)7.

Mix) - The CureNotes and other random things:Let me begin by saying THANK YOU! to my faithful listeners. Hey, and thank you to my fly-by-night, just-happened-to-find-this-by-accident-because-I-was-watching-a-meme-about-a-cat-that-plays-the-synthesizer listeners too. I truly appreciate your patience awaiting this new edition of CRCRetro. It has been a long time coming ... about a year-and-a-half to be exact and that's much too long. I'd say it's good to be back, but I always say that and then I disappear for long periods of time only to resurface and say it's good to be back. So, I'm not going to say that this time (though it's good to be back).They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and that scarcity pushes demand and all that. I don't know who "they" are but I'd wager they spend a lot of time alone. Let's just say life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it. Hey! That could be a movie quote! So, what does any of this have to do with music? Well, nothing really. I can only hope that rambling is part of the newest Google algorithm geared toward search results. So, music-wise we have some business to attend to. First up, is a band I know very little about. The group is Covenant, not to be confused with the Swedish electronic band of the same name. So, here's what I do know: a lifetime ago, when I worked in a record shop, I came across this compilation of songs by bands that appeared at South By Southwest (SXSW). At the time, SXSW was a cute little "fest" held in Austin, TX every year and it had just finished its 7th or 8th annual edition. On this compilation was a song called "Reflection" by this Covenant group. I loved the track. Shortly after, I stumbled across an 8-song album by the band, which was released in 1995 on the Celestial label. The album was called "Sentience". Along with the aforementioned track, "Reflection", it had some other great tracks like "Possess Me" and the lead off track here, "Goodnight". I can only assume that the group was from Austin as the album was mastered in Austin and their "Covenant Collective" P.O. Box has an Austin address and fax number. Along with other Texas electronic acts from the era and area, like Channel 69 and T-4-2, Covenant's music has received a lot of airplay in my world and I'm hoping you enjoy a little taste of their musical contributions. Would love to provide more info if anyone out there knows something more. So, if any of the band members, Robert Badger, Paul Wilson, Chris Schaucherer or John DiGrazia are out there reading this or listening, please hit me up. And, if any of you feel inclined to reach out via snail mail to the Covenant Collective to see if it's still active or to tell them how much you love their music, you can always send a note to:Covenant CollectiveP.O. Box 684884Austin, TX 78768-4884Not sure if you'll get a reply, but you never know!It appears that my dissertation-length write-ups are now being limited in character length, so I'll have to rework these in a more efficient fashion for future episodes. Glad to have you all as listeners!Merry Christmas to you all!

I've come so far to see you all ...Finally, another podcast for your listening pleasure. It appears even this 'cast is not immune to supply chain snafus. Immediately after my last podcast, my 12-year old computer bit the dust. I spent a lot of time picking out parts for my new build, but could not find a suitable video card to save my life. Took many months and a bit of luck to get the last piece of my silicon puzzle and then a couple weeks to find enough time to put it all together. But, I did and it works! So, here we are. Lots to like in this one and hopefully I'll get to provide some tidbits about some of the songs in the near future. For now, enjoy the music. Great to be back!

Give Me Your Hand (Razormaid! Mix) - Red Flag 15. Tasty Fish (Pascal 12" Mix) - The Other Two Notes and other random things: I hope everyone is staying busy and safe during the current craziness. I really assumed that lockdowns and stay-at-home-orders early in the spring would be a boon for my podcasting opportunities, but alas it was not. Still, I finally managed to get around to recording this line up of tunes yesterday that I assembled a while ago. So there's that. If you're a 90s dance music fan there is lots to love here, most of which has not appeared in a #CRCRetro podcast prior to today (I'm looking at you Anything Box, Electronic, The B-52's, The Farm, Cause & Effect and Candyflip). One thing that stands out is a full third of the tunes here are album versions and not remixes. Much like the more you learn the more you find out you have yet to learn, the same applies to my music collection. Seems like the more stuff I collect, the more I realize how much I have yet to get. Because I have no desire to repeat things too often in this 'cast, I assume nobody will have issues with hearing album cuts of some songs strategically placed among the mixes. But, it certainly makes mixing more challenging. Thank God for looping! A second thing that stands out is that three songs here are from the New Order evolutionary tree. "Idiot Country" (a personal fave of mine) from the super-group Electronic featured Bernard Sumner from New Order, Johnny Marr from The Smiths/The The, and Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys. "Tasty Fish", from 1991, is by The Other Two: New Order drummer Stephen Morris and New Order keyboardist Gillian Gilbert. Of course, then there's the 1995 Hardfloor Mix of "Blue Monday", the original of which still sounds cool and futuristic all these years later, and is still the best-selling 12" dance single of all-time. Considering I'm currently reading Peter Hook's book "Substance Inside New Order", which is his take on the phenomenon that was/is New Order I suppose I had them on the brain while assembling this podcast. Nonetheless, there's a lot of good, upbeat vibes in this edition and really we could all use a little more of that these days. More to come ...
