i gotta go with Inner Glimpse.. very well done i think..
then JT, SB, and EME last..
what\'s your favorite?
-
I gotta go w/ Jive Talkin\' for the pure fact that it\'s freakin\' Jive Talkin\'!!! Awesome cover. Really well done and I can see the rave reviews already for it. Inner Glimpse is absolutely Stellar!! Excellent version. Nice effects and vocals spot on. Sleeping Beauty is def. going to be a sleeper hit for those that have not heard it I suspect. Earache is raunchy just as it should be. This album w/ the proper marketing can get these guys noticed on a larger level from what I have just heard.
-
dunno, mine won\'t play :p
-
went with earache just because it was a total suprise to see it there, and it sounds stellar.
dont get me wrong, inner and sleep are awesome, its just that I was in the studio when these were recorded, and not when earache was, so earache is the \'new\' song to me.

Let\'s hope so!
-
Went with Earache also for surprise value - all are great, but IG unfortunately didn\'t do it for me as I thought it would, as it seems a tad slow.
BTW, thanks to dave for offering up a rip of the sampler for those of us who couldn\'t be there :thumbsup:

Thanks to Dave, done. Another vote for Earache. But I do so love IG... tough one.
-
I am going with Earache. It is one of my all time favorite covers. I just hope one day I get to see Timmy playing it in a pink tutu...
Order:
1 Earache
2 Sleeping Beauty
3 Inner Glimpse
4 Jive Talkin

LMFAO
-
IG fo sho is #1
SB is reallygood but I don\'t like Tim\'s "ahhhh" vocal in the intro
EA is f\'n GREAT!
Jive Talkin is a great cover and Jordan sounds good BUT - listen to the Rufus version... rule #1.. only cover a tune if you can make it better... and no offense to Jordan but Chakkakan he is not.
-
what does a bee gees tune have to do with chakkakan?
as for the breakfast\'s jive talkin. i would love to see them throw it down at a show, just for the fact that people would start busting out disco moves. it is also a nice treat to have on the sampler, but it does lack something opposed to the other 3 selections. i think its a bit repetetive musically. i dig sequoia\'s vibe on it.
-
The tune is by Rufus which was a 70\'s funk tune fronted by Chakkakan.
I also like Jordan\'s vibe on it and his voice is great... I would also like to see it at a show BUT.. it just sounds to white bread for me.
As for the record... there are probably 50 tunes that would make much better sense.. but hey.. what do I know?
-
Having listened to the sampler many many times now I still am really lovin\' Jive Talkin\'. I think it shows a "normal" side to the band that some may not have heard. Plus it just brings back good childhood memories. IG is really good but the more I hear it I just want to hear the live versions more. Kinda the same for SB. As for earache I think I listen to that the least.

Hey Josh I think the Gibbs brothers were pretty damn white bread yeah?
-
i dunno.. maybe it\'s just me, but EME is just too much a novelty to me.. don\'t get me wrong, it rocks, and they rock it.. but.. it\'s just kinda worn out for me.. and they\'ve been playing it forever..
sleeping beauty - i don\'t really like the mix.. there\'s effects on the instruments during the chorus, but the vocals are normal. doesn\'t sound right to me.. and i don\'t like that the effects stay there when it breaks into the chorus.. oh well..

You mean Rufus covered It. It is a Bee Gees written song.
-
I would have to say Inner Glimpse.......awesome tune..but sleeping beauty is right there too..
-
Hi gang....thought I would stop by and see who liked what.....we do listen to you....
Jive Talking is a BeeGees song off 1975\'s Main Ingrediant album.....their comeback after falling so far into disfavor they were billed as an oldies act. Chaka Khan did sex it up the same year, but the hit was the Bee Gees. Yes its a bit whitebread....but then again...last I looked everyone in The Breakfast was white. And we aren\'t trying to sound like anything else.
The covers are for fun....don\'t take them all that seriously. We just felt that wewanted to give the fans some things they wouldn\'t get unless they were fans. We\'ll probably do it from time to time for if peeps dig it.
The stuff from the album will be slightly refined...both songs have already had some updates since we had to send out the stuff you have to get pressed. The ones with the paper labels will be collectors items...they have the early mixes.
The AHHH in Sleepning Beuaty might not make the record, but we will add a few vocals to smooth out the blend. But we like the effects on the intruments and they will stay. I know from a long time of doing this that you can\'t please everyone...and that\'s cool. Inner Glimpse will be slightly different at the end....the synth is a bit loud. It just snuck through when trying to get to press.
What you should know about the record is that we have made a major committment to make the songs more in the recorded sense than the live versions. A bit more enphasis in the song, and the vocals than in the past. We know that everyone might have a favorite live nite of these songs, but we want the record to be a definitive recording of these tunes that appeals both to radio and fans that never heard the band at all. Its a tough order with jam bands, but I think this jam band is special.
Enjoy. Looking forward to giving you a great Breakfast CD.

wow thanx for the killer post. Nice to know that you guys are taking the fans into account. Very rare indeed. Looking forward to hearing the finished product even more now!
-
^^ Hear, hear!!
-
beegees, rufus... i like the song and I think it\'s a great live piece was my only point.
i figured you\'d catch the "ahhh".. and I LOVE the effects on the instruments! LOVE THEM!
-
Neither Jive Talking or EME will be on the CD.......collect those disks...
Then again....there is that OTHER secret cover that might.......
then again......
Josh....gotta set the historical record correctly.....

The record should be done this week. We decided on the final track list today.
Both Inner Glimpse and Sleeping Beauty will have mix updates.
The CD will have ten songs....one never played before.
Which leaves 9 you can all place your bets on.....

Where\'s my heady battle of evermore!!!!!?!?!?!
-
10 Tracks... let\'s see (in no particular order)
01. "track nobody has ever heard" (Episode 3?)
02. The Grand Scheme of Things
03. Doughboy
04. Sleeping Beauty
05. Inner Glimpse
06. Dimension 5
07. Fairy
08. Vera St.
09. No Regret
10. -- Unannounced (I think) tune (one we all know and love) --
That\'s my best guess.

you bring your voice and I\'ll bring the crack, and we can scream for it till they have no choice but to play it....
Marcial, I dont think they are throwing in the towel as much as making some lineup adjustments. Rumor has it no more Timmy, with maybe a Jordan substitution....But I am not really in the loop, just passing on hearsay and gossip....

drew\'s list is pretty good. i won\'t say how good, but it\'s pretty good.
i will throw in my usual \'there is no episode 3\' line, though. :)

your list is missing at least 2 origional songs, plus there was a third cover recorded, and your list has stuff on it that is incorrect.
