This recording comes from Psychic Ills' yt song upload here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh60iGucgzo
"Not At all" not yet released commercially. This recording comes from
D.B.G.'s upload of the song to their yt
Channel, here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/dbgshows .
*Hope sings on all songs here, & co-wrote the 5 with asterisks (*).
I haven't seen writing credits for "Not At All," but to my ears it sounds like Hope's style of melody & lyrics.
Dirt Blue Gene is comprised of the same musicians as have been in
Hope Sandoval &
The Warm Inventions, but minus Hope & Colm. "Not At All" is attributed to Dirt Blue Gene (with Hope), but the musicians on it are just three: Hope, Colm (on vibes) , &
DBG's
Charles Cullen on guitar. The song could easily fit on a HD&
TWI album!
Hope's also credited as appearing on two songs by
Le Volume Courbe on the album, "
I Killed My Best Friend." Hope doesn't sing though but plays glockenspiel. Those songs aren't included here.
"Angels' Share" was recorded in Hope's and Colm's home studio in
San Francisco along with the rest the "Vetiver" album. Colm plays percussion on some songs. Vetiver asked Hope to sing on one song. "
Angels Share" was her favourite, so she sang back up on it.
Hope and
William Reid of
JAMC were a couple in the years the two JAMC collabs were recorded. Hope's band
Mazzy Star opened for JAMC on a 1994 tour and Hope would come onstage during JAMC's set to sing "Sometimes Always."
Hope and
David of Mazzy Star were friends with Bert Jansch who plays guitar on several other songs on Hope & Mazzy albums.
Several of these songs
I've previously upped to yt individually:
-Hope with Bert Jansch - All This Remains: https://youtu.be/pd1rJuQGbMI
-Hope with Dirt Blue Gene - Not At All:

-Hope with Massive Attack - Paradise Circus:

-Also, a live
VIDEO version of "Sometimes Always" broadcast on
MTV, 1994:
https://youtu.be/aNGTG1yn85w
If you click on "show more" under those videos, you'll see my video descriptions with background info & lyrics.
The official video for the song "Paradise Circus," released 2009 is not a traditional music video.
Instead, it's a mini-documentary that uses the song as its soundtrack/theme song.
It's a documentary of an interesting interview with retired porn star
Georgina
Spelvin and includes hardcore clips from her
1973 "porn classic" "
The Devil in Miss Jones." So, it's an XXX-rated video, but one Hope approved for release and says she likes. (See my video description at my upload of the song by itself for more info. about the video including relevant Hope interview quotes). Youtube allows only a heavily censored version of the Paradise Circus video someone has upped here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F9pydomWOE , but Vimeo has it uncensored & up
for viewing here: https://vimeo.com/71961703 You can also download a HD video file of the Paradise Circus video from a file
hosting site, here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6u5l9gyutbpp/Hope%20Sandoval%20+%20Massive%20Attack%20-%20VIDEO%2C%20Paradise%20Circus%2C%202009.zip The Vimeo version is a small file with slow bit rates. This HD one is much higher quality.
You won't find such info about the Paradise Circus video at a certain popular Mazzy Star/Hope FB
Group which recently BANNED (deleted) an informative post about
the video. But at this fan site: http://mazzystar.free.fr/phpBB3/viewforum
.php?f=4 we're not squeamish about covering
any aspect of Hope's career, including sharing info about the "Paradise Circus" official video of Hope's song, a video Hope herself approved and likes. The fan site also has an extensive (mostly live) Bootlegs-with-download-links section,
here: http://mazzystar.free.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t;=13&sid;=b55ef9a13d899be970ad9794b81e28f6
The site also has dozens of Mazzy Star & Hope text interviews collected & posted there, plus photos, band history info, etc.
