The other day I stumbled on this YouTube upload of a classic Carbon Based live set, unaware or forgetful that it has been on the FINRG SoundCloud for the past six years. It’s a great one though, so even if old news for you it’s certainly worth a revisit.
The lack of tracklist is a shame, what with the inclusion of a couple of still-unreleased tunes, but regardless it’s nice to have the chance to enjoy a full set of Carbon Based. There are some lovely tempo switches throughout, while the final combo of Anger Ball into Psychotherapy still does the business today.
edit: Thanks to Jambato for starting us off with a tracklist in the comments – I’ll add it here in case anyone can make some additions:
01. Intro
02. CB – Fairy Play @ 2:50
03. ? @ 7:40
04. CB – Dark Side (remix?) @ 14:05
05. CB – Ultimate Protection (Intro mix?) @ 20:50
06. Proteus & Carbon Based – Heavy Fusion @ 24:23
07. CB – Ultimate Protection @ 31:06
08. ? @ 37:00
09. CB – Underworld Species @ 43:19
10. CB – Anger Ball @ 48:43
11. CB – Psychotherapy @ 54:30
It is indeed a very nice set. I tried to come up with a tracklist, however incomplete:
Some intro
CB – Fairy Play @ 2:50
?1 @ 7:40
CB – Dark Side (a somewhat more upbeat mix apparently) @ 14:05
?2 @ 20:50
Proteus & Carbon Based – Heavy Fusion @ 24:23
CB – Ultimate Protection @ 31:06
?3 @ 37:00
CB – Underworld Species @ 43:19
CB – Anger Ball @ 48:43
CB – Psychotherapy @ 54:30
I will always remember them as “those guys playing live with top hats covered with glitter”, how did they even cue with those?
Glittery top hats? That’s one CB moment I missed, sadly, and I bet there are plenty of others too.
Thanks a lot for the tracklist attempt Jambato, that’s about as far as I could have managed too – I’ll add it to the post itself to see if anyone can add more…
Heh, they used to play gigs in all sorts of utterly silly full-body outfits too. 😀 The sets tended to have new edits and unreleased tracks to keep things fresh, looks like that’s also the case here. 🙂
Unknown track #2 (@ 20:45ish) is an intro mix thing of “Ultimate Protection”. I remember them starting some of their old sets with this.
I don’t know anything about the other 2 unknown tracks, though… #1 has been a huge favorite of mine since I first heard it many years ago. Really cool track that one is…
Thanks Solvynt, will update the list 🙂
