Finally, a new mix! So while awaiting our great 200th mixtape-collab Drain Crystals 3 to materialize, I decideded to skip straight to number 201. What can I say, collaborations are simply more difficult to finish. This one is more of a typically electronic mind trip with a touch of human warmth. As that’s how I prefer my electronic mind trips. Enjoy! -Moahaha

I wonder if one of you wonderful people would check this Youtube link and see if you can help me in my quest to find a piece of music.

Many regards, Michael.
Hi Michael. I had a listen. It sounded somewhat familiar (and I can understand why you thought it was Soft Machine. Maybe it is), but I don't really know. Very beautiful. I need to check a few contenders I got, and come back to you if any of them are a match.
DeleteThank you so much, Moahaha. You would make an old man happy.
DeleteShazam claims its "Dorian Terilament" from this record, though I can't find anywhere to listen to it to confirm: https://www.discogs.com/release/17327347-Morris-Pert-Chromosphere
DeleteYes I found that too. It would sort of make sense if this music is a Morris Pert composition. He was in a handful of british jazz-fusion groups during the 1970's (the music in Michael's link is decades older than that 2013-release). Perhaps it's some live in BBC-studio reindition based on the same ideas as "Dorian Terilament" (which I haven't heard), that has never been officially released. The sax-playing remind me of Elton Dean and the song itself shares many similarities with the more abstract parts of early 1970's Soft Machine, So I listened through their Peel-sessions album ++. Also checked the two Sun Treader albums I got and all of Pert's Brand X compositions (which I had little faith it would be). Could it be some Elton Dean/Keith Tippett etc... collaboration? Or maybe I'm looking into the wrong scene, and hearing things that are not there...:)
DeleteFollowing that link to Morris Pert, I read that there is a guy called Ian Campbell who worked with Morris Pert and who has a site dedicated to his music, with some CDs for sale. It might be worth emailing him to see if he recognises it as the track that Shazam suggests. Here's the email address - blackpark@btinternet.com . Hope you have some luck! It's a lovely piece, by the way. Let us know how you get on.
DeleteBtw: during covid/lockdown I co-arranged some interactive events at Facebook. For that I collected songs never made available for streaming or commercially digitalized - that could be played without Facebook shutting the livestream down (which happens the second a song is recognized). I used Shazam to check many hundred obscure songs I was certain had no reissues or any official online presence. But Shazam «found» a completely wrong match for about 40% of them. Frustrating, because a wrongly recognized tune would also shut the livestream down. Anyway, because of that, I’m personally a little skeptical in regards to the Morris Pert-trace/find. It absolutely is worth following up - as he would make sense. But I just thought I should share that Shazam-experience of mine. A few times Shazam matched my songs with a seemingly random, wrong song so many times in a row that I ended up testing it's system with a Beatles or ABBA-tune (to find out if it was working at all).
DeleteHi there, this is Michael. Thank you Gentlemen for your interest in my quest. I've been doing some investigating using your findings but nothing has produced any fruit yet. I did investigate Elton Dean a few years ago but no to no avail. I will not give though. I will hopefully find it before I pop my clogs. I had a simular problem a while back with another track from the same mix tape. I eventualy found it. It was "By Your Grace" by Beaver & Krause. Check it out, it's beautiful.

good that you found it, in fact it is a suggestive song... I wonder if there is a community of audiophiles where you can consult for unknown songs because I have a few, in the past I used soulseek for that purpose but now nobody participates in the chat rooms
DeleteThank you Moahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Psychfan:)
DeleteGreat music and an eye catching cover. What's not to like? Thanks yet again Moahaha.
ReplyDeleteThank you Zipper - glad you like it!
DeleteThank you,Moahaha !Very nice!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my amateur space-disco-"sci-fi" electronic music compilation!...they're tunes from my childhood :)

Wow! Thanks. Huge file. Downloading now, and look forward to listen through it:)
Deletenow I realized that some things are repeated there!...but most of the compilation is ok :) :) I did it quickly
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful compilation, thanks! I suppose I already owned about 25-30% of it's content, but out of the remaining 70-75% - I loved most of it really. So, many hours of nice discoveries and listening joy for me:)
DeleteHi there, Michael here. A minor unfruitful update. I emailed Ian Campbell but he never replied.
ReplyDeleteHi there Michael. Well that's sad. But what was the link to Ian Campbell again?
Deleteit was email address - blackpark@btinternet.com
