"'Elemental 7' and 'European Rendezvous' were originally released on Doublevision Records as CTI projects. They were recorded on analogue 4 and 2 track reel and cassette format. The inherent limitations of this type of equipment are accentuated by the digital CD medium, however, they were digitally re-mastered to the highest standard possible from the original reel to reel tapes.
The decision to re-release these two CTI projects was in answer to demand which in itself saved them from being destroyed. We were just in time to rescue the material from serious damage due to bad storage facilities beyond our control. The original master tapes are now no more.
'Elemental 7' is the soundtrack to a one hour video of the same name which is now unavailable. The video and soundtrack were made in 1982 and completed in 1983. A CTI project by Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti and John Lacey.
'European Rendezvous' is music taken from live shows during 1983 in Holland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. An extended version was available on video featuring the slide projections by John Lacey which accompanied each show. The video is no longer available.
Because of the time limitations with CD format we found it necessary to omit some tracks from European Rendezvous. We chose 'Thy Gift Of Tongues' and 'The Need' as they are available on Collectiv 1. Also omitted was 'Voice Echo' and 'Slow'.

"All the tracks featured on this CD were originally released on vinyl/cassette or as flexidiscs or 'B' sides, all of limited availability. Due to demand for these rarities we have compiled as many as we could obtain the master tapes for. Because of the nature of the compilation projects, being in cassette form etc. some of these tracks were re-mastered from the original cassette master, for most we were lucky to find the original reel to reel recordings and therefore obtain the best possible quality.
The majority of these tracks which appeared as part of compilation projects were donated in the spirit of independent music, fulfilling the demand for alternative music for the listener as well as the 'musician'. The early 80's were a very active time for independent alternative releases, an era which was effectively ended by major label interference and when the spirit and innovation got taken over by the smell of money.
