I finally got almost all of the songs The Bambi Kino (TBK) actually recorded, bar maybe four or five (which I’m hoping someone might have somewhere …)
Now they were recorded at all sorts of studios, some 4-track, some 8, some 16, some multi, sometimes in just one afternoon, to over two or three weekends. So quality wise, they were all over the shop.
So, using some AI, I managed to separate out all of the tracks from those old cassettes and CDs. Then sprinkled some magic dust on the bass and drums to get them sounding of a piece, and re-did all the vocals. Added some harmonies and keys here and there too.
And voila!
I’ve not put them in chronological order, they kinda work all mixed up. But you can pick the earliest tracks, they’re the ‘all in, best dressed’ trashy ones, mostly.
We were quite the most zeitgeist-y band, without any intention of being that. I had a swag of songs in the bag two or three years before the band actually happened and kept building on those. And I kept hearing other bands in the same vein, all through the whole shebang.
There’s a bunch of other TBK albums I ‘ve got to get through. The third of the three demo albums I’ll add soon, but then there’s my versions of all the other songs we did that didn’t get demo’d, my alternate versions of the ones that did, and all the other songs we never got to. Some I’ve separated off into two other projects, one very Carnaby Street, swinging’ ‘60s, the other more Laurel Canyon. I will get to all of these, all being well, in the next six months! But it’s a grand total of around 135 songs to get to …
