"Here is the Tik & Tok EP: We think you can see in their style where Fisherspooner got all their ideas from and hear where a lot of techno and electroclash got it's sound from. Obviously Tim is supercool as well, just read the bio! This EP is made of older tracks and unreleased material, all remastered. In 1980 Tim Dry formed a rock/mime/burlesque/music troupe named Shock. They travelled the world, made some records, got a lot of press and found themselves in the vanguard of the New Romantic cult of the early '80's, alongside Boy George, Duran Duran, Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet. Tim also created a robotic mime and music duo called Tik and Tok with Sean Crawford who was also a member of Shock. They supported Duran Duran at Birmingham Odeon in '82, worked with Vangelis at his home studio, were supported by a fledgling Depeche Mode, got a huge amount of press coverage and released 5 singles and a well received album on the Survival label in the UK, Germany and Japan." |

I'd be curious about the "new aphex" that Phobia mentioned earlier. |

I sense hostility! :O I was thinking that since you seem to be affiliated somewhat (lol) with rephlex, maybe you could shed some light on something that will garner more attention when it is released. |

you know what they say, knowledge is power. which makes you the weakest man in living history, prick. |
||||||||

|
|
I am the "weakest man in living history" on the basis that i don't know when the new aphex is being released? You sir are laughable! Good day! |

Do you work in PR or promotions, Mr/Ms Drummond, or in the music biz in some capactity? Only you seem to have all these hot leads. Forgive my prying questions. |

sounds cool the cover is funny : i wonder what these guys have become since the 80's (robots, labour ministers, bankers, on the dole?) |

i copied the spiel from the warp site. the samples are there so you can decide if its worth buying or not. warp tend only to put up samples of their own material and not rephlexs. |

oi! Such a clever play on words! I am amazed that you are not some famous playwright but instead are some hasbeen internet character! |

I seem to remember seeing Tik & Tok on a saturday morning tv programme when i was a tiny thing and they said they were going to be in the new star wars, which i guess was Return of the Jedi, i wonder if that was true. |

i remember seeing blancmange on cheggers plays pop but i don't think they said anything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
err...how can you remember interviews on telly, given 20 years ago & were a "tiny thing"??!! i'm glad to say i forgot 99% of what i saw on tv as a kid |
||||||||
|
|

I remember a lot, I mean a lot of shit. If it's trivial, pop-culture related it's hardwired to my brain. If it's of historical, scientific, sporting or cultural significance then it's gone before I can say "Sorry, what were you on about?" |

youre the pub quiz freak who when a question such as what was the serial number of the 3rd twelve inch of warriors of the wasteland by frankie goes to hollywood, can answer it straight away, then as your friends gasp in horror/amazement, ponder for yourself how/why the fuck you knew that in the first place. |

i used 2 b like that but now it's the opposite (i remember the first pages of ulysse by joice but impossible to say if i saw star wars episode ii or not 'cause i don't even remember the plot) ps: i only read the first pages of ulysse not the whole book |

I do actually have all the 12"s of FGTH, how do you know....? But if they asked when did WWII end or what's the largest river, or indeed, what day is it tomorrow, I'd find my knowledge somewhat lacking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a good song 'relax' was... it's true that fgth didn't wrote it? |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
tell me how much money you put in those quiz machines, i need to feel better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

they did and they didn't. the original bares little resembelance to trevor horns over-produced version. |

at that time, i remember, a mate told me they were gay & it was the first time i heard about gay people, men loving men...it added something to the music |
||||||||

Well, actually, i found that the Pepsi music quiz game, virtually hosted by Dr Fox, pays out handsomley to anyone with a smattering of pop knowledge. Beware of the Q Magazine quiz game as that is design to suck you dry, and not in a good way. I never touch the other quizzes, oh no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill keep my eye out for dr fox. remind me what he's a doctor of again? you're right about the Q machine, you can keep going and collecting a quid for quite a while if you're on form but getting 2 quid is risking that get your money back option, and if you're near getting 3 q music awards it comes up with some ridiculously contrived question that nobodys knows, e.g, true or false, robbie williams once owned a hitatchi tv |

thanks cylob |

With the Q one I thought I was being clever by collecting the 2 quid then taking the money and then starting again, but then I realised if you do it too many times it ups the amount of questions you need to answer to win even a quid, so you have to leave it twenty minutes, spending your winnings on drinks to pass the time, and then you're back to square one. Still, happy times. |

you're welcome, lou carpenter |

roughly they work on a 13 quid in 5 quid out ratio. like that fucking crystal maze bollocks that had nothing to do with how many games you won, but how much money it had taken. i really don't miss that game. stupid fucking trackball. i play hangman and battleships, you have a reasonable chance of winning on hangman, 5 or 6 quid if it feels generous. its obvious when it wants to pay as you repeatedly get given questions so easy even your mogoloid mate in your group of friends (yes, everyone has one) can answer them all correctly. battleships is more of a kill time between drinking and playing pool type game. you can play for longer, the questions are easier but the payout is less |
||||||||

I didn't realise that about the Crystal Maze, fuck I must be in the target chump demographic. How i used to battle with the trackball to "grab" the gold things at the end, but thinking of it there were times when I was sure i'd done it but it would say no. That cheating bald bastard. I'll give hangman a go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hangman is ok but the movie quiz is where the money's at |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would help if i knew anything about films which i don't! anyway even if you win it gets recycled in the fucking bandit or the fag machine. |

Shocking price on fags in pubs now, plus a light pack n all. Probably be out the window once we follow Ireland's lead on smoking... I think I'll download some of the tracks at the top. Hell, I'm here what's the worst they can sound like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
fags are MUCH cheaper down the pub than in the shop. just don't buy them from thee machine ;) |
