"Right Here"a Tribute to The Go BetweensPage 4 |
Sean Sennett & Friends 'Don't call me Gone' - Quite a cool story behind this one, recorded at Sunshine Studios (where the Go-Betweens recorded their first two Able Label singles) and used the original engineer who did the said singles. Sean Sennett was originally in The Honeymen and he managed to get John Willstead (the last bass player for The Go-Betweens) to play on this as well. 'Don't Call Me Gone' has that Monty Python 'He's a Lumberjack' like quality into it too.
The Earthmen 'The House Jack Kerouac Built' - The Earthmen are truly professionals, I was really impressed with the way they worked when they recorded it. They even arranged for some members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to play on this. Another carbon copy in my opinion but still just as good.
Frente 'Clouds' - Frente could have played it safe doing another cute acoustic cover version. But having had such an established stereotype of that (Bizarre Love Triangle/Not Given Lightly etc) they instead used samples and tape loops on 'Clouds'. To let you in on a few secrets, the drums were John Bonham, the strings were from an old Barry White record and lastly a sample from 'It's a Long Way to the Top' on the last note of the guitar solo before the Bon's bagpipes come in. Amazing.
Go-Between - If you must know, this sample was pinched from that immortal Australian cop show Bluey (the one The Late Show used for Bargearse).
