Re: Earthquake Weather Redux
Mr Dread, echoing what has previously been said here. Thank you for your skills and hard work. Gallop Your Donkey would have been a hit single if released in 1989 in the UK.
The drums on Sleepwalk also sound like you've given them more space and especially the latino percussion right near the end of the song. Top job.

Should put out it's actually "Gallop You Donkey" and not "Gallop Your Donkey". The dropped "r" is intentional as per the lyric.

Re: Earthquake Weather Redux
Awesome, Marky! Thank you. It's been cool to hear the incremental improvements you've made to this album over time. This one is definitely the best sounding version yet.

This really is fantastic. To paraphrase Brian Clough, I wouldn't say it is the best remaster ever, but it is in the top one :)

Best press conference answer ever? Even made me, a non United fan, laugh at that.Marky Dread wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 6:50pm'When seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.'

I was confused at first and thought Eric had lost the plot. But when it's put into context of the press waiting for the next titbit it all makes sense.laxman wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 6:23amBest press conference answer ever?

Re: Earthquake Weather Redux
I view Island Hopping as one of Joe's all-time best. It's such a great "tip of the iceberg" song where I want to learn more about the narrator. A couple decades ago when I had delusions of grandeur I intended to write an entire album around it, where it would be track 1 and each subsequent song would be a little adventure on a new island. Love triangles, pirates, jailbreaks, etc.Marky Dread wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 8:34amYep I guess Joe took inspiration for the song from that. Though lyrically it's really about lazing around and taking things easy.Stefano1972 wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 7:13amRegarding Island Hopping, I recall in the recording of the concert at the I-Beam in San Francisco on November 17, 1989 (again thanks to Charlie Don't Surf for sharing his recording), Joe says he wrote that song while in Nassau at the search for Mick Jones.
Probably better I didn't go through with it, but my point is that this song really gets my imagination going.

Should do it sounds like a nice idea. Definitely scope to write about your encounters as you hop from island to island.msza2 wrote: ↑04 Jun 2023, 7:56pmI view Island Hopping as one of Joe's all-time best.

Re: Earthquake Weather Redux
I think one of Eric's best moments wasn't caught on camera, what a pity. This is the quote about the incident, and I think it shows his character and strength.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 3:07pmI was confused at first and thought Eric had lost the plot.

"In December 1991, during a match for Nîmes, he threw the ball at the referee, having been angered by one of his decisions. He was summoned to a disciplinary hearing by the French Football Federation and was banned for one month. Cantona responded by walking up to members of the hearing committee in turn and calling each of them an "idiot". His ban was increased to two months, and Cantona subsequently announced his retirement from football on 16 December 1991."
Thankfully he reconsidered his decision and via Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United did something good in Manchester.
