This is probably an old question, but I poked around and couldn't find
any answers...I am wondering what exactly the difference is between the
various Richard Kirk side projects. I have only experience of Electronic
Eye, Sandoz, and his proper solo project. What puzzles me is the 'written
by Kirk, arranged by Sandoz' type credit that is on these records. It
seems, because of that, to be more than just a choice of different
project names--and also because the projects are so different from one
another.
So how does one put together this sort of music with that kind of 'band'
configuration? I have this absurd image in my mind of Kirk sitting at a
piano playing out simple melodies, then handing them off to some flunkies
like a film composer would, for arrangment/orchestration. Nah. But what,
then?
I'm also a little confused by the notes in The Conversation. I haven't
got it with me at the moment, but at one point it seems to give credit to
Kirk for the entire album. Elsewhere it credits Mallinder also.
(Spelling? Sorry.)
Quite a while back, Tower Records (and, I imagine, other stores) put
almost all of their Mute/Elektra stock in cutouts for like $5 a disc, and
I stupidly passed up the opportunity to buy up literally dozens of CV
albums. By any chance does anyone here know of a store, *anywhere*, that
still has a bunch of Cabaret Voltaire cutouts? I can no longer find the
domestics for sale, and completing my collection with imports would
likely cost me well over a thousand dollars. No.
Thanks for any help,
