REQ: Unreleased Steve Braun?

Postby Sundayguy » Thu Oct 08, 2015 1:07 am

Hey everyone,

Since I had just been asked to upload some Numan related tracks I came across
the singles by Steve Braun, on Numan's label. There were plans to release a full
album by Braun, intended to be called Fast & Slow, and there's a web-page with some
short clips of all the songs.
I'm wondering if anyone can uploud or find on the web, or go through old files maybe
or dig up this unreleased Steve Braun album?

I'd suppose if there are clips there must be the full versions, somewhere.

Much thanks to all, for assist in locating! :wink:

If I remember correctly, Steve Braun recorded several albums worth of songs and if a label takes interests he said he would release them, Fast And Slow is just one of them, and Steve gave that website the clips during an interview.

Mostly I'm looking for the Fast & Slow songs, as they were going to be released on the Numa label, and
had that certain Numan influenced sound. The clips I heard weren't as good as the 2 Numa singles tracls, but
still would want to hear the whole songs.

Is it possible for someone who owns it to post tracks from the Steve's first single "Out to Play"? Those were the delicious slices on minimal synth greatness - needlessly and foolishly re-recorded for Numa singles' B-sides. The prices for this little 7" are just absurd and heartbreaking, so maybe someone is willing to share them - in 320 kbps MP3 or dare I ask for WAV/FLAC/APE? It's a pity to think that those songs are lost forever due to forbidding prices... :(

Passing_Stranger,

Because I'm feeling somewhat generous today, here are the files you asked for, cleaned up and in .wav format:

https://www.mediafire.com/?lxat21bn86x005k

If someone has the unreleased album they can PM me instead of posting it here, I know some things like that
are not openly shared a lot, but I'd still very much like to hear the complete songs, not just the available short clips.
If passed along to me, I won't share it, I'll keep it under wraps, can even delete the files after listening.

To say you've made my day is an understatement! Hope I'll be able to return a favour someday - though it seems you have everything already :D

I remember about that Numan compilation and try to post it ASAP.

As for the Braun's album, as I understand it you have to contact him directly and ask as it's only him who has copies and nobody else...

Thanks for the info Passing_Stranger,

I'm always glad I can share something here. There are a lot of people with a lot of files.
Some serious collectors. I'm sure I don't have Everything, but I have collected up a fair amount
of Numan and related over the years. Proudly a fan since back in 1979! :D Enjoy!
