WAR OF THE INDIES

"War war is stupid and people are stupid. And love means nothin in some strange quarters. War war is stupid and people are stupid. And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers"........ as CULTURE CLUB would sing it, but we will not be talking about Boy George and the rest of the guys. I'll be featuring another of those PHILIPPINE released "INDIE series" CD which was produced wayback August 5, 1996 entitled "WAR OF THE INDIES". YUP!! I'm back again to give you great Music and Infos about this INDIE CD that was considered to be another follow-up Philippine NEW WAVE Compilation to both "And God Created Indie" and "The Rise Of Indie" CDs that I featured here in my little blog before. Just click the "INDIE series" in the lower right side portion of my blog on the "Information Society" labels to enter my blogposts on it.


WAR OF THE INDIES is another Philippine New Wave Compilation that showcased 14 songs from 14 different NEW WAVE Bands that are popular here in MANILA and had heavy rotations on XB, BM, and NU back in the 80s. It's a combination of Remixes and Original versions that is worth listening to. I guess this means "WAR", if you talk about the great music in this superb compilation. I was able to borrow an original copy of this back in 2000 but I wasn't able to have my own copy because during those times CD burning was not yet common. THANKS to both KABAYAN djrhom and slave2nuwave for sharing their original copies here in my little blog. I reuploaded the music files djrhom gave me and arranged it chronologically and editted it. Unfortunately djrhom already lost his Front CD cover but we are still lucky that slave2nuwave still have the front and back CD covers intact and the CD photo that I'll be using is his original copy. As usual, the art of the cover is fascinating as if you are going back to the "French Revolution" of the early 19th century which was headed by the great "Napoleon Bonaparte". Hmmmp!! Isn't that the term NEW WAVE has It's cultural origins of French-filmmaking in the late 1950s? I think there goes the inspiration....or the perspiration. He He He!! Are they barbarians in the cover? It would be devastating if it's WORLD WAR I and WORLD WAR II!! So here it goes!! WAR OF THE INDIES!!

The compilation started with a 99.5 RT classic "MORE TO LOSE" by SEONA DANCING which became a hit for PINOY WAVERS back in the 80s. There's a different version of "I GO CRAZY" and "BUILD" included in the CD. The DEPECHE MODE song "QUESTION OF LUST" was mixed with TEARS FOR FEARS' "MAD WORLD" in the set. MIRANDA STANTON's version of a JOY DIVISION classic "LOVE WILL TEAR US APART" is very refreshing on the tracklist which was first played by 89 DMZ "WAVE180" back in the 90s. I enjoyed listening again to the whole CD that made me travel back in time. Btw, Culture Club's "The War Song" is not included here okay. Let us make PEACE not WAR!! So there you go guys I just presented you "WAR OF THE INDIES". So what do you call the WAR of HANFORD versus JOCKEY and TRIUMPH versus SOEN? Hmmmp!! WAR OF THE UNDIES? He He He!! Well, just making you smile for a WAR-TORN blogpost I may say. So ENJOY THE MUZIC and GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!!

PEACE BE WITH YOU....

AND ALSO WITH YOU!!

After the success of "And God Created Indie" CD compilation, I present you the followup of it entitled: "THE RISE OF INDIE". I was able to buy an original copy of this compilation with some help from my LITEWAVE buddies and decided to rip it up for you guys for this blogpost of mine and share it. Though, a little bit expensive if I may say. He He He!! For the love of sharing what can I do. This CD was produced on the Fourth Of JULY 1996 according to the label. It's another compilation of Extraordinary NEW WAVE REMIXES that's very unique and definitely not the usual versions we are familiar of. Of course, PINOY WAVERS would remember these versions because these were also played on "WAVE 180" circa 1996-1998. GREAT REMIXES AND ART COVER AGAIN!! I was surprised while I was ripping the whole CD I noticed that each song registered as METRO: BEST OF BERLIN so I have to edit each song title because each of them corresponded to a BERLIN song. WEIRD Isn't It? I wasn't able to remove the BERLIN CD Cover though. The important thing is that I'm sharing it to you guys right now. And now I present you another of those PHILIPPINE NEW WAVE REMIXES Compilation CD........."THE RISE OF INDIE"!!

Well, I find these REMIXES great for remembering the groove of the 80s. It included MANILA visitors FRA LIPPO LIPPI and CHINA CRISIS and of course the PINOY WAVER's hit from INDUSTRY "STATE OF THE NATION". If you're an XB fanatic then "The Sound Of THE SOUND" is here in "TOTAL RECALL". If you like the CD and have downloaded it, then it would be great to hear from you. This is for PROMOTIONAL use only !!I hardly suggest that It's for your listening pleasure. Btw, I just wonder? RICE is a staple food of FILIPINOS, and PINOYS have rice on every meal so what would be the RICE OF INDIE? JAVA or FRIED? Naaaah!! I still love the PLAIN RICE. Wanna try the Philippine Government's NFA RICE? "SOME MORE RIIIIIICCE!!! CHOW TIME!! ENJOY THE MUZIC!! Thanks for dropping by again!!

So Everybody,
Let's all RISE!!! .......of indie!!

And GOD Created INDIE

From the first book of THE BIBLE which is the Book Of GENESIS, the creation week narrative begins with these words: "In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth." It took place over a period of six days and was followed by a seventh day of rest. GOD created in chronological order: LIGHT, THE HEAVENS, DRY LAND AND SEA, LIGHTS IN THE HEAVENS, SEA CREATURES AND BIRDS, LAND ANIMALS AND HUMAN BEINGS, and rested on the 7th Day. So when did GOD CREATED INDIE? Hmmmp!! On the 8th day? Naaah!! It's just the title of another Philippine NEW WAVE Compilation CD.


It was 1996 while I was listening to 89DMZ's New Wave Program called "WAVE180" hosted by "THE UNBEATABLE", I heard a very different extended remix of PSYCHEDELIC FURS' classic song "GHOST IN YOU". I never heard that version before even in the 80s so I decided to track it down where I could get a good copy of this version. Then I saw this CD in GREENHILLS SHOPPING MALL entitled "AND GOD CREATED INDIE" few days after I heard it on "WAVE 180" and It was included on the CD. It was a bit expensive that time so I decided to skip it for a while. Then I found out that my brother's classmate have bought the CD compilation already so good thing I'll just have to borrow it and tape it on a good MAXELL Chrome Tape to cut on my budget. No CD burning back then. He he he!!


It's a compilation of THE BEST NEW WAVE REMIXES which were very much different from the original remixes that PINOY WAVERS are familiar of. YUP!! It's not the original remixes we heard before and totally another version. The ART cover is terriffic for the title don't you think? These songs were all played on "WAVE 180" during the radio program's peak. We are fortunate today that my friend Rhenzo was able to obtain a copy of the compilation so that we could share it to you guys. We will be glad to hear from you guys when you download this compilation. I reuploaded the file he gave me and so here it is the CD compilation I'm talking about........."AND GOD CREATED INDIE".

INDIE mp3 collectors series

What is INDIE? It's not the nickname of INDIANA JONES and nothing to do with the INDY 500 motor race. "INDIE" is short for "Independent" and It means a lot of things and if you're talking about music then the discussion of INDIE MUSIC would just end up with a debate. In this case I'm referrring about "INDIE MUSIC" whether It's the so-called "INDIE POP" or "INDIE ROCK". If you're going to research the true meaning of this musical genre then It's very diverse and complicated in a way. What may be INDIE to you may not be INDIE to others. It is definitely a subculture music that is independent of major labels or producers that could be labeled on this genre. NaintINDIEhan naba KABAYAN? He He He!! What is an mp3? The term MP3 came from M(oving) P(icture) E(xperts) G(roup) -1 Audio Layer 3 nomenclature which is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression. So that's "INDIE" and "mp3" for you!!


Back in 1999, there was these two mp3 music collection series that were made available here in MANILA specifically at GREENHILLS SHOPPING MALL entitled "INDIE mp3 collectors series 1 and 2". YUP!! You got it right guys!! I consider this if not the first mp3 collection released, then It's one of the first released here in MANILA back in 1999. As bootleg? Naaah!!My high school buddy "JACK J." who now resides in CANADA was able to buy these two mp3 collection back then and I was glad that he still has it on his Vaults up to this time so that we could feature it here in my little blog. Well, during those times CD burning was not yet a medium of getting your kind of music and mp3 players was not yet in the market unlike today most of the PINOY youngsters has an mp3 player with them. When JACK told me about this back in 1999 I decided to borrow it after a week so that he has time to listen to the entire mp3 of both selections. The series explores 299 great songs that would travel you back in the 80s. This is very different from "THE ULTIMATE EIGHTIES COLLECTION" mp3 series that I've featured in this blog before.

So what's "INDIE" about it? Basically, It's PINOY NEW WAVE definition and it included tracks played by XB, BM and NU back in the 80s on MANILA's FM radio dials. It's an 80s Independent collection that span the entire decade.


"INDIE mp3 collectors series 1" has a total of 148 songs that includes music from bands like DEACON BLUE, EIGHT WONDER, SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES, THE MIGHTY LEMON DROPS, ROARING BOYS, SISTERS OF MERCY, and a lot more.


"INDIE mp3 collectors series 2" has a total of 151 songs that includes music from bands like THE WILD SWANS, TWO MINDS CRACK, THE SOUND, THE ADVENTURES, THE BELLE STARS, CACTUS WORLD NEWS, and a lot more.

Nice Compilation INDIEed!!
