The Hundred Voyages of Version

[Corpsey]

"Hitler failed to get into art school and invaded Poland."

 

[craner]

Sorry, Version. All the lads are here today, you should be happy. Carry on!

When you start looking into the backgrounds of actors/actresses/directors, it quickly becomes obvious that we need to see blue blood pouring in the streets.

it's a stitch up and always has been. a few get adopted as mascots or high end sex slaves and get famous that way otherwise you've no chance.

corpse! where have you been man. you missed craner's listening party, he started giving out all his pulling tips after a couple of glasses of wine (he's deleted them now)

 

[version]

Loving it, mate.

13. Joo Rita, Red Car Boogie

That bass! That scene! Chow Yun-fat’s toothpick!

 

[craner]

I don't even fancy Claudia Schiffer that much, it's just the principle of it.

did he delete his pulling tips?

 

[luka]

corpsey sent me a DM saying he doesn't like Craner or Craner's music so there was no way he was going to attend that party

 

[craner]

Looking like that and getting to marry a supermodel, that annoys me more than the rest of it.

That bass! That scene! Chow Yun-fat’s toothpick!

Here's the scene in question:


And here's a bonus clip of a talented dancer:

2. A Guy Called Gerald, Alita’s Dream

Maybe there are minor differences between the two – there’s a version out there with a vocal intro rather than the pads – but I think this is essentially Darker Than I Should Be retitled for Black Secret Technology. Anyway… I first heard of BST via a Lee Gamble interview where he talked about it sounding like a xerox of jungle, a ghostly impression, and I think he was right. You’re looking through frosted glass or into a plume of smoke. The form’s just about visible, but it’s got this wraith-like quality to it. It’s there, but not entirely…

I love this. the break sticks in my head, more than the melodies. a catchy break

 

[craner]

Bonus clips? That's a new innovation, Versh.

 

[version]

This is a voyage.

 

[luka]

i have to go to matthew ingrams book launch soon. you only get an invite if youre important and famous. would rather stay here but i never miss an opportunity to network.

14. Delroy Wilson, Ease Up

Torn on this one. Love the tune, but can’t get behind the slut shaming lyrics. Perhaps Wilson should have taken his own advice and eased up.

15. Little Ann, Deep Shadows

Spellbinding.

 

[version]

16. Red Fox, Shell Out Everything

No clue who Red Fox is, but stumbled across this last year and been listening ever since. Craner will love it.

15. Little Ann, Deep Shadows

Spellbinding.

That's beautiful, the poise, the pauses, the gaps in the sound, switch in the melodies, it takes your breath away. Lovely choice.

17. Norio Hanzawa, Stage 1 (Gunstar Heroes OST)

Mentioned this one in Crowley’s thread when he brought up Streets of Rage. Spent hours and hours playing this game with a couple of my siblings, sat on the floor in front of the TV passing the controllers around as you could only play two at a time. The fact it’s the theme from the first stage that I remember most clearly tells you how good we were… although it’s also by far the best tune in the game.
