What's a spinnin' in your CD player?

Transit - Break Away

 

What is this?

 

 

In a word - rubbish.

 

It really is shit. And trust me, I'm as fond of this band as you are (well, close anyway). 'Break Away' is their debut, reportedly released in 1985... but I don't believe that. Well, it may have been released then but the band formed in 1981/1982 and it was definitely recorded around then (or before, if that's possible). It's a very poor 70's style rock album. To me it sounds circa 1978 so picture bands from that era, but with the Transit factor. It's really not good... not at all. I know you'll want to chase it down for all things Transit, but I hope I can assure you enough not to do it. It has nothing at all in common with their sound/style from 'Dirty Pleasures' onwards.

 

Amazingly, I found this. This is actually probably "the best" song on the album (for what that's worth):

Was there a CD version of this?

I only have a CDR copy of it, but the artwork looks like it's from an LP and definitely the rip if from an LP, crackles and all.

*Trixter - Trixter

*Trixter - Hear!

*Trouble Tribe - Trouble Tribe

Tryx - Pink And Purple Crew Edition

Tsar - Tsar

T.T. Quick - Sloppy Seconds

*Tuff - What Goes Around Comes Around

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
