Privateering: The B-sides

[MaxG]

Hi FFoma

Sent you PM. I have travelled to Russia a few times and saw MK there on the 2008 tour and this song Occupation Blues has a definite russian sound to it. I am not a musician so I cannot say exactly why but I think you understand

Answered, Max, check out your PM

It's amazing how much music can say. Western Europe feeling just with couple of notes. Postcards from Paraguay also have same feeling of non-British music and that is more interesting it also have minor 7 flat 5 chord, like Occupation blues. Rare chord for MK, another song with it is Rudiger.

Oh, it's foma again with his ridiculous music theory

The bonus songs are wonderful.

Does anyone know what country he sings about in "Occupation Blues"?

River of Grog is so sad, and so good. Reminds me of "Madame Geneva's"

I 100% about your sentence about Follow The Ribbon and Bob Dylan, it was totally clear that thsi song has Dylan relations..

Also, for me, it was 100% clear that Occupation Blues is about France - of course. Some people stated at AMIT lately that it reminded them of Russia, because of the melody, and I was really astonished about that. I am not saying that I am not totally wrong, but it is just so clear for me! 

It is a Cha Cha Cha, isn't it? Would there maybe some South American influence because of that?

It's Cha Cha Cha, I confirm. About which country, I will give it a listen again tonight and will break my brains about it

France, that's what I thought, too

By the way, such a PM with a link to "Your Perfect Song" would be greatly appreciated!

And where can you find the un-mixed studio 2-track versions or what it was? I have the deluxe set; should there be a link in there somewhere?

Sorry, I'm a little bit behind you guys, and don't know if this is what you all have known.  Someone told me there would be another B-side song which will come out from Japanese versions of the new album?  Anyone got some info about it?  Or is it just a rumour?

I own the 2CD version - can't buy the album again for a couple of songs - if someone could PM or email me the link for the 3 B Sides + Your Perfect Song, I'd be extremely grateful!

Thanks

Thats the reason why we bought the 3cd version and/or the box version instead the 2cd, because we wanted to have that songs.
