Starred - part 11

Skyscrapers

Carl has been writing and recording music since 1986 but his first real record involvement was co writing and producing Moments of Inertia by Circle City on Warp in 1993. After a year or so working with Leeds indie band The Bridewells and culminating in an album with them recorded in Roxy Music's studio, he settled down into writing and producing dance music. In 1994 he and DJ Ralph Lawson set up 2020 Vision Records, producing deep house flavours of their own as Wolf and Flow and under his own solo guise of Random Factor, remixing artists from around the globe including Blaze, Josh Wink, Superman Lovers and Fatboy Slim. His solo work is heavily electro tinted, reflective of the Kraftwerk era but owing as much to the likes of Drexciya, Prince, Depeche Mode and Yello. During the mid 90s he teamed up with SCSI founder Daz Quayle and wrote under the name Scarletron and also as Black Labs with two releases on Thomas Heckmann's Trope Recordings around 1995. Working under the names of Random Factor (2020 Vision) Voice Stealer (Subvert) and more recently Silicon Scally (SCSI, Satamile) he has released music on labels including Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Sony, Klang, Arista, Soma, Pagan and Minifunk. He is also a keen remixer in his own right, having reworked tracks by 2 Lone Swordsman, Luke Slater, Swayzak, Dave Tipper and Alexi Delano. 2002 saw the release of the critically acclaimed Mr. Machine album on SCSI recordings. In 2003 the combined EP's on Device Entertainment Recordings were released as the album Electrilogy+ under his real name, Carl A Finlow. Shortly after this release, he moved to Paris.

Here is my version of Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Bands song 'Turn The Page'.

Always loved this one and I hope I've done it justice

***LYRICS***

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before 

But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through 

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page



Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode 

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand 

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page 

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play 

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said 

Say Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page 

say Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage, 
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page 
There I goooooo turn the page 

turn the page 
turn the page
turn the page
turn the page

Did a remix for a Carl Finlow MIDI ARCHEOLOGY remix contest thingy over at Fundamental Records, the remix did not win but here it is anyway. I really enjoy his music, so it was nice to have a little go on a track. :) More infos about the project here: https://www.fundamental-records.com/carl-finlow

DBFC is not a band, its a club
DBFC has no strategy
DBFC is not interested in any political lies or promises
DBFC is inspired by the spontaneous combustion of the sixties and the endless possibilities of dance music
DBFC is not afraid to be accused of being schizophrenic nor longing to be praised for its diversity
DBFC refuses to choose between making dance records or rock records
DBFC is Dombrance, David Shaw, Antoine Reininger and Guillaume Rossel
