The RiverRun Project - 10 years later

[stimpee]

Okay, I knew one song was omitted. I concede that any unmixed versions should be included, and the remixes of Lenny Penne. Still, Darc was on The Bells The Bells. Any radio show stuff should be on a separate radio shows release :-)

I'd love to hear Crocodile again from 2005. The Zurich version is good. But this is OWB-stuff and you need to draw a line somewhere.

For released tracks, there's also a Lovely Broken Thing promo that contained unmixed versions of all those tracks (including a 10 minute version of Lenny Penne.

There are also the two versions of Peach Tree on the Crocodile and BBB singles. And for remixes there's also the High Society Lenny Penne remix.

The RiverRun period easily extends through the end of the Oblivion with Bells releases. I would include stuff like Breaking & Entering, Sunshine, Loads of Birds, etc. If you don't mind including webcasts, there's lots of RiverRun stuff in there too (Choppo, TT, Bear of a Man)

Is there any way of getting hold of a copy of the lovely broken thing promo cd? How many copies were made? I'd love to hear Billy Goat unmixed. Also has anyone ever worked out how to get a copy of that full version of Ancient phat farm coat from Japanese iTunes as after peach tree it's my favourite of all the river run tracks.
Final question are the 2 versions of peach tree different? I've got the one on the crocodile but if the other is different will have to get it!
Cheers!

Been a long time since I was here, but feels good to be back!

On revisiting these myself now, I see that a lot of my files are not in the best of quality. I have the originals in 192kbs mp3, and from looking at various sources I see that Lovely, Pizza and Big Sister is available in lossless, but not JAL or the Misterions mix, is that right?

The original releases of the 3 EP's were in 192 Kbps MP3 only. In 2010, they became available on the Underworld Shop in lossless WAV. At the same time, the 5 RiverRun singles also became available in WAV, which means there were lossless unmixed releases of JAL to Tokyo, Play Pig, Vanilla Monkey, and Peggy Sussed and their accompanying remixes. Unfortunately, they are no longer available on the Shop.

The Misterons Mix was only ever available in its original 192 Kbps MP3 form, since it was a free bonus. It was never made available for sale. The unmixed Ancient Phat Farm Coat is the other thing that was only available in lossy form.

Thanks a lot! I'll see what I can track down. This was a great run of songs!

[darkvoice]

I missed the wav files. I've bought the mp3 versions way back.
Any clue were to get these?

[ultradave]

I remember obtaining these in 192kbps... and then re-purchasing the WAV's because you have to have these in Lossless... I've got them, but I don't know if these would be considered "OOP" or "Promo" items to put them on the tracker.

I'm A Big Sister... is my goto mix whenever I go on a chill trip, which is quite often.

Aside from the 3 Riverrun Mixes I also have the following in Lossless:

JAL - (Paul Woolford Vocal)
JAL (Paul Woolford Dub)
Play Pig (Buick Project Mix 1)
Play Pig (Buick Project Mix 2)
Play Pig (Pig & Dan Mix 1)
Play Pig (Pig & Dan Mix 2)
Peggy Sussed (Robag Mix with Melody)
Peggy Sussed (Pete Heller Vocal)
Peggy Sussed (Pete Heller Dub)
Vanilla Monkey (Martinez Mix)
Lenny Penne (High Society Mix)
Food A Ready
Ancient Phat Farm Coat (Lossy)
JAL To Tokyo

King of Snake (Rick's Bungalow Edit)
King of Snake (Rick's Bungalow Mix)

These were all obtained from Promo CD's that I got on eBay. The Riverrun Promo CD's were a set of 3, and the KOS was a promo by itself - but I have them all on 2 CD-R now.

Well, R+K even said as much in interviews that OwB was a continuation of the RiverRun Project, and there's definitely a through-line there.

So, personally, I draw the line after OwB. They kind of stopped the conversation after that, and the tone of Barking and its release was completely different, even though some of the Barking tracks had their origins in the RiverRun period (ALAF, Scribble).

again,

if someone wants to post them on the tracker,

that would be a place for people to get them.


haven't found anyone willing to distribute them on there.

If someone did put them on the tracker that would be brilliant, hint hint! pretty please someone!
I've managed to get hold of most of the tracks by downloading off you tube etc over the years but can't find the Boy boy boy version of Peach tree or the Unmixed lovely broken thing promo cd or full ancient phat farm anywhere! I would just like to hear them and am not too bothered if they're lossless or not!
