Re: The Real Davie Addison?

"David Addison: Oscar,,, not really, we spent most of the time being teenage boys, chatting up girls, going for walks along the coast and into the woods to play on the tarzan swings, knocking on doors and running away, setting bushes on fire and watching gory horror films at mine and they where gory, cannibal holocaust, cannibal ferox, zombie flesh eaters etc etc and Mikey used to hide behind a cushion when he saw the gore, it freaked him out, LOL"
Plus he mentioned he knew them when they were 11-13 yrs old, highly doubt they were making serious music during that time.

Seeing as we don't know what Cat 3 sounds like (probably for good reason, if it ever saw release it was just friends and family)... I'm willing to bed they didn't sound too great at 13 hahaSkimming Stone wrote:They allegedly released Catalog 3 when they were around 16, who knows what 13 year old them were capable ofanecdote wrote:Plus he mentioned he knew them when they were 11-13 yrs old, highly doubt they were making serious music during that time.

Ergh! Hate farcebook but I enjoyed reading that.
Re: The Real Davie Addison?
Sort of makes you think though, why did they even list it on their site back in the day if it sounded bad? Plus they apparently repressed it on CD in 1997 when Twoism and Hiscores were already out. So maybe all of their older stuff is actually good? Just my two centsAerial Boundaries wrote:Seeing as we don't know what Cat 3 sounds like (probably for good reason, if it ever saw release it was just friends and family)...

It has been discussed to death on here, though no one knows for sure of course.anecdote wrote:Sort of makes you think though, why did they even list it on their site back in the day if it sounded bad?

Maybe it does kick ass. Maybe it is the work of young craftsmen in the making, disappointing in light of their mature work. Maybe these releases don't exist at all and they were made up as some sort of fake backstory, or a joke (this has been suggested before).
I'm more inclined to think the second. Prodigies they may be, but making work at 16 years of age that would live up to the standards we expect even from hearing Old Tunes and R35TT, I just doubt it.
I mean they're only human, and it isn't just about talent (which I am sure they have plenty of), it has taken many years to build their skillset.

I dunno guys......doesn't seem like a bawbag......seems.......pretty much legit. scammers / spammers and trollers always leave a shitty trail but this guy.......just reeks of honest.

Except the overusing of "lol" he looks like a cool guy.

Re: The Real Davie Addison?
There's honesty here.
If you grew up in the suburbs in the early 80's, there are elements in this guys conversation that will hit the same chords the BOC music does. It was a magic time because it was our childhood. Nothing fancy or mystical about the specifics really, when you break it down.. but to look back through the lens of memory, there's something lost back there that you didn't even realize you had. You take these things apart, they're not that appealing.. you put them back together and there's that certain feeling. That feeling will haunt you some day in your life.

Davie Addison is a great piece of music, really nostalgic feeling to it, imagine how it might affect this guy listening to it? (assuming he is legit of course)

Re: The Real Davie Addison?
Hearing his stories of their childhood antics was too uncanny with the feeling their music arises. I take a break from the internet and then tales like this show up? They're just minor snapshots but they've definitely provided an important part of the Mike and Marcus puzzle. I adore how normal they are.

Saw a blind man walking down the street
Greets every person he chanced to meet
Saw a cop write a ticket to a man over fifty
Fell over laughing screaming he was a hippie
Ran into a granny had a smile on her face
Broke a trophy she just won in a race
Don't worry about the future
Forget about the past
Whether it's good or bad
It's a gas

If the brothers read this forum, they're probably either very impressed or terrified. or both.
preparation for a dive.
Re: The Real Davie Addison?
I see no reason those guys could possibly be terrified by this. Probably little more than a "heh" each time someone figures something out that doesn't pertain to legal shit.
That windmill definitely does bear a vague resemblance in its sound's pattern to YCFTS and I wouldn't be surprised if that influenced the sound they created, though at the same time the final sound is slower, considerably more spaced out and sounds like something stretching and breaking as opposed to machinery. Still, move the first bit of this back a little and slow it down, you get almost the exact same pattern as the very beginning of the song.

Okay...now...wait for fog machine.
