Dear All,

I have heard that the FGTH 12" of the titel track, Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, is very good. So I'm thinking of getting it. But am a bit confused over:

Which version? I see CD101 has the "original UK" version for 7.99 - is this the one? I suspect it is.

Also they have a CD album of 12" - worth it?
I'm only really interested in the 12" from WTHPD's album. Two tribes 12" and War 12" perhaps?

Thanks guys

A lot of FGTH and other ZTT output is available on emusic.

The sound quality of the Relax 12" is fantastic. Unusual for pop music. That wave crash in the middle nearly knocks you off your chair!

It is typical of the ZTT / Trevor Horn production.

Listen to any of the Art of Noise / Propaganda / 808 State et al material that they were issuing in the 80's and 90's.

Shayman,

Do you know what version the Relax 12" is? There are various.

Mines 12ZTAS1. The bog standard one I believe.

AFAIK there was only one 12" version of Relax released in the UK and two versions of Two Tribes (Carnage and Annihilation). The other 12" mixes available were released in the US or Japan and if memory serves me correctly, were generally inferior to the UK releases. Carnage and Annihilation are absolutely spectacular, a monstrous mix of percussion, driving bass and haunting samples from nuclear warning ads. Relax was pure high energy pre-house and filthy lyrics.
Having heard some of the tracks before Trevor Horn got his hands on them (including Relax) his influence should not be underestimated.

They were Trevors tracks if it was not for him and his wife FGTH would not have made it ,they didnot even play on relax.He got in other people.regards munch

I believe Holly Johnson's voice was the only part of FGTH on Relax which makes it all the more ironic that the rest of 'em still tour without him no doubt "doing" Relax.
