- --++=={ PHIL COLLINS compendium }==++--
-
- Welcome to this assorted medley of 'songs' from the Queen Mum's
- favourite rock star. Yes, it's that perennial rocker and all round
- receding-hair-line-mid-life-crisis kinda guy, Master Phillip Collins.
- Just think, if Peter Gabriel hadn't gone solo, we'd never have heard
- of him. God Pete you've got a lot to answer for.
-
- All files in General MIDI format (Drums channel 10, prog changes
- embedded in tracks). Tracks are named for ease of conversion for
- you non-GM buffs. Korg owners, I'm sorry. Get yerself a CANVAS!!
-
- Tweaked, sequenced, arranged, produced, edited etc. on an Atari
- STFM 2.5Mb running Cubase v2.0 with Yam SY22, Casio CZ1000 and
- Yam DD-5 drum pads. Played thru the one and only SC55 Sound Canvas
- (anyone want to send me a _free_ SC88? Come on Roland, all this free
- advertising I'm giving you?)
-
- Phil Plays thus:
-
- AGAINODD Against All Odds from that film with Jeff Bridges in
- ANOTHDAY Another Day In Paradise; OK Phil you're a white middle
- class rock star with loads of money; so you know all about
- homelessness right?
- ANOTHDAY2 ADIP v.2; more hypocrisy
- DONTLOSE Don't Lose My Number - probably his stockbroker's
- EASYLOVR Easy Lover - the two Phil's (whatever happened to Philip
- Bailey??)
- INSDEOUT Inside Out - sorry, can't think of anything sarcastic
- right now
- ONEMNGHT One More Night - and my hair might grow back
- SUSSUDIO Sussudio - what the hell does that mean? (no, look, I
- don't want to know, it was a rhetorical question)
- WESTSIDE The Westside - that instrumental one i.e. no singing.
- Well no singing on the others either - they're MIDI
- files
-
- And, as Paul Daniels would say, there you have it.
- Enjoy them if you can.
-
- Don't even think of playing them on anything less than a nice big
- expensive sound card (AWE-32 minimum) or stand-alone MIDI module
- (24 note polyphony GM minimum) ok? Or else I'll find out where you
- live...... 8-bit soundcards? get outta here.
-
- All abuse, congratulations, "leave Phil alone, he's a very talented
- man" etc. to zchag05@ucl.ac.uk (please, no more mail bombs)
- And I'm sorry if I sound bitter but hey, I'm a musician.
- N.B. This e-mail address should be valid for years to come and won't
- expire in July '95 as I'd previously posted.
-
- Cheers and lets throw off those chains of apathy that bind us and
- bring down the Government; oops sorry, that's a bit political.
- Or failing that, lets go back to our Take That albums. That'll
- change the status quo.
-
- Love to y'all now
