Timber [EP]

Amazon.com
It's common knowledge that Coldcut are the masters of state-of-the-art sampling technology. Coldcut's segues are seamless, their transitions are absolutely liquid, and their sample selection remains consistently bright and surprising. On this EP the song "Timber" from the band's previous full-length, Let Us Play, is handed over to seven other accomplished remixers for an extended bout of chop, cut, edit, insert.

Darren Knott floats a funky '70s bass line and a skittering drum track that pushes the cut close to drum & bass territory. Future 3 opt for a languid, floating whisper of vocals and bubbling synths. Clifford Gilberto pulls out the turntables and cues up an acid-jazz rhythm, drum & bass tempos, and smoky jazz interludes, while Bundy K. Brown of the band Tortoise slings a choppy stop-start rhythm that lands in the echo chamber. As a bonus, five videos by the likes of Emergency Broadcast Network, Hexstatic, and others are tacked onto this disc for your viewing pleasure. Not a bad value for something called an EP. --S. Duda

Timber Timbre.......1999-12-24

This takes me back home to my childhood when we loved to dance and sing at ceilidhs. The music is authentic, the singing pure, and the gaelic clear and soft as I remember it being spoken in my native hebrides. Thank you whistlebinkies.

More wonderful Scottish folk from the 'Binkies!.......1999-07-24

I was thrilled to find this new album by the unfortuntely not-so-well-known Whistlebinkies! Timber Timbre is another outstanding recording following closely in the footsteps of their 1996 album, A Wanton Fling. Beautiful Scottish airs, reels and songs, including a surprising adventure into a set of traditional Chinese tunes -- played on pipes, of course. Highly recommended!

F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!.......2006-02-02

I've got the original music (including v2 and v3), the books (the best is Heitland's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Book; still in print);
the 22 VHS tapes issued in the early 1990's (a haphazard collection issued in no particular order of episodes that boasted famous guest stars). Can I please get the whole series on DVD? I have not seen Mother Fear toying with Illya (The Children's Day Affair) in over 40 years.

At LAST the complete series ORIGINAL soundtrack, the wait is over!.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

This project shows why Timber's popularity is advancing at such a rapid clip among music lovers. Superior creativity and talent.

I attended a Peter Breinholt and Big Parade concert in 1995. I've kicked myself ever since for not buying the CD at the time. I finally found it and ordered it last week. I've listened to it many times since it arrived and love it. Peter's voice is a joy to listen to.

Coldcut will be our rulers. Let us bow down before them and surrender to their music. All hail Coldcut. Just like a ninja, they cut up the record like a Samari. Buy this recored and frolock in eternal bliss.
