Notes and other random things:
Let me begin by saying THANK YOU! to my faithful listeners. Hey, and thank you to my fly-by-night, just-happened-to-find-this-by-accident-because-I-was-watching-a-meme-about-a-cat-that-plays-the-synthesizer listeners too. I truly appreciate your patience awaiting this new edition of CRCRetro. It has been a long time coming ... about a year-and-a-half to be exact and that's much too long. I'd say it's good to be back, but I always say that and then I disappear for long periods of time only to resurface and say it's good to be back. So, I'm not going to say that this time (though it's good to be back).
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and that scarcity pushes demand and all that. I don't know who "they" are but I'd wager they spend a lot of time alone. Let's just say life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it. Hey! That could be a movie quote! So, what does any of this have to do with music? Well, nothing really. I can only hope that rambling is part of the newest Google algorithm geared toward search results.
So, music-wise we have some business to attend to. First up, is a band I know very little about. The group is Covenant, not to be confused with the Swedish electronic band of the same name. So, here's what I do know: a lifetime ago, when I worked in a record shop, I came across this compilation of songs by bands that appeared at South By Southwest (SXSW). At the time, SXSW was a cute little "fest" held in Austin, TX every year and it had just finished its 7th or 8th annual edition. On this compilation was a song called "Reflection" by this Covenant group. I loved the track. Shortly after, I stumbled across an 8-song album by the band, which was released in 1995 on the Celestial label. The album was called "Sentience". Along with the aforementioned track, "Reflection", it had some other great tracks like "Possess Me" and the lead off track here, "Goodnight". I can only assume that the group was from Austin as the album was mastered in Austin and their "Covenant Collective" P.O. Box has an Austin address and fax number. Along with other Texas electronic acts from the era and area, like Channel 69 and T-4-2, Covenant's music has received a lot of airplay in my world and I'm hoping you enjoy a little taste of their musical contributions. Would love to provide more info if anyone out there knows something more. So, if any of the band members, Robert Badger, Paul Wilson, Chris Schaucherer or John DiGrazia are out there reading this or listening, please hit me up. And, if any of you feel inclined to reach out via snail mail to the Covenant Collective to see if it's still active or to tell them how much you love their music, you can always send a note to:
Covenant Collective
P.O. Box 684884
Austin, TX 78768-4884
Not sure if you'll get a reply, but you never know!
It appears that my dissertation-length write-ups are now being limited in character length, so I'll have to rework these in a more efficient fashion for future episodes. Glad to have you all as listeners!
Merry Christmas to you all!
