Prima Volta

Postby Panorama » Sun Jul 17, 2005 7:21 pm

Prima Volta put out one album in 1984 called Mmwops (Making Music While Other People Sleep)

They have 5 awesome songs: Allright Allright, Headline News, Fiction, Show the World, Out in the Street. I also like Shameless Escape To Tibet. I have mp3's of the songs if anyone is interested. I like Headline News the best but they are all great. I heard them on Audioparagon.com a few years ago and begged for copies of the mp3's -- actually I loaned a tape of 5 Frazier Chorus videos so Steven Brown could archive it to dvd (and he was happy to get it).

I actually found Bert Taken, the guitar player's email address through the site below and emailed him at blackmarketaudio.com (his current band) -- he was really surprised I liked the music so much and tracked him down -- he sent me a copy of the album on cd. I think the mp3 files that I have actually sound better than the cd he sent (he digitized the tracked from the album, Steven Brown at audioparagon.com cleaned up the mp3's and they sound excellent), but it was great to finally hear the entire album and he included art with the cd.

Can anyone translate the text on these pages:
