Collectiv Three (An Elemental Rendevous)

"'Elemental 7' and 'European Rendezvous' were originally released on Doublevision as CTI projects. They were recorded on analogue 4 and 2 track reel and cassette format. The inherent limitations of this type of equipment are accentuated by the digital CD medium, however, they were digitally re-mastered to the highest standard possible from the original reel to reel tapes. The decision to re-release these two CTI projects was in answer to demand which in itself saved them from being destroyed. We were just in time to rescue the material from serious damage due to bad storage facilities beyond our control. The original master tapes are now no more. 'Elemental 7' is the soundtrack to a one hour video of the same name which is now unavailable. The video and soundtrack were made in 1982 and completed in 1983. A CTI project by Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti and John Lacey. 'European Rendezvous' is music taken from live shows during 1983 in Holland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. An extended version was available on video featuring the slide projections by John Lacey which accompanied each show. The video is no longer available. Because of the time limitations with CD format we found it necessary to omit some tracks from European Rendezvous. We chose 'Thy Gift Of Tongues' and 'The Need' as they are available on. Also omitted was 'Voice Echo' and 'Slow'. All tracks published and copyrighted Rough Trade Music. 1982/83/90." Manufactured & distributed by Play It Again Sam. Made in Austria. Release title on disc and spine as 'Collectiv 3'
