Carina On Compilation CD

[john]

I've just discovered a compilation CD with a different version of Monument on it.
It's called 'Ladyfest UK 2003' and is available from www.bearos.co.uk/
My copy arrived this morning-----I'm pretty sure it's an alternative take(rather than a remix)
The rest of the tracks are but for only £6 it's worth buying------especially if you are a 'completist!' ;D

I spotted this before and wondered whether she was on it. It might be a liveish recording through the desk or something.

Bearos are a cool Birmingham record label of the indi variety.

Very tempting, along with otherstuff on the site.

I think the tiny record shop in the custard factory sells some bearos stuff too.

John, is this definitely different from the album version? Might buy this CD then but only if you are sure?! ;

i am pretty sure that this one is same as the original monument as she has not remixed it....unless they messed about with it when mastering the Ladyfest CD........Carina did a few Ladyfest gigs including one at the Garage in Highbury.....loads of Ladies being extremely loud.....good fun!!

[john]

I'm positive that it's a different version----------altho' Carina's vocal is pretty much the same, there are subtle differences and the harmonies are mixed differently .
But Tom's guitar part is completely different---whereas on 'Disconnection'after 'let it-oh God- let it come' he plays a pedal tone (same single note repeated over underlying changing chords)----on the Ladyfest version he plays a series of power chords.Sorry if this sounds a bit technical! And John's drum fills are also different.
And it's definitely not a live recording.

8-)Hi sorry guys asked Carina about this and it is a totally different recording......mixed by Tom Livemore and a guy called David Pickin playing on drums.....pre John.....i do have it aand the album is pretty cool ..punky......sorry again but have cleared it up now XX

[Steve]

Ah thanks Pamela! Well for £6, might as well get this then! See what the other bands are like too.

Did you see I found some photos of Carina from Ladyfest? They're in the media section

Cheers for that info Danni but before I'd read this I had already ordered the CD from www.bearos.co.uk! I probably wouldn't get into Kingston for a while anyway but I should go check out Beggars Banquet sometime...

Anyway, I have the CD now! Just listening to it for the first time right now! The version of Monument is quite different from the album one. More stripped down with less bass and clearer vocal. Cool to have an alternate version - dunnno which I prefer but probably the Disconnection one overall.

Haven't heard much of the other tracks on the CD as I went straight to track 7 to listen to Carina! ;D

Playing the whole CD through as I type though!
