Hi there,

can anybody tell me anything about that project called “Carmody”, which released one tape in 1983? Tracks are “As We Down”, “Messengers Of Love”, “Most Of You”, “Space Invaders” and “Time’s Under”.

This tape is among the best music of that time I’ve ever heard.

I’d be thankful for any information about that project, its members, country of origin, any further releases etc.!

Best regards,

Rosso

Carmody

There were 2 tapes released by Carmody. One of them was a split release with one of their own side projects. There are more tracks on those 2 releases than the ones circulating on Soulseek and elsewhere.

Someone called my name again ?

Alright, here we go - if I remember correctly:

CARMODY was an Italian duo, yes, and recorded between 1982 and 1985. I guess it was three demo tapes - two of them “untitled”, the other one “DOGU” though I do not know whether they were made public or not. All in all they recorded around 30 tracks. Their name came from:

citation:
“The name CARMODY belong from a book of the science fiction author Robert Sheckley where mr.carmody is lost in the deep space and he find very difficult to back home… The title is DIMENSION OF MIRACLES.”

We are working on a release for Anna Logue Records compiling their greatest tracks.

And if you like them, you should not hesitate buying the MONUMENTS xxvii CD recenly released on Anna Logue Records as their sound is pretty similar.

Cheers Marc, I’ve been dying to hear more Carmody for a long while now!

Tried tracking down Mr. Cassacci with no love wink maybe that’s the wrong name to place.

Anyhow, seems you are one top of it, and I for one am looking forward.

Thanks!

Yes, I think he merely knew/played with them at some point.

The “real” name evades me, but I hope we’ll all know soon enough, music included.

Sorry I have to correct my information: there is a guy with such a name in the group. He was the guitar player on a couple of tracks.

Great guitar work on “Messengers Of Love”, indeed; I guess Mr. Cassacci was responsible for that.

My favourite of their tracks I know so far is “Most Of You”. I’m just having problems understanding the lyrics, so if someone could help me here, I’d be very happy. All I understand is “Most of you are stupid” (or did I get that wrong?).

Thanks to all of you for your information. I’m looking forward to listen to more of Carmody soon; I hope the release of further tracks is on its way!

Best regards,

Rosso

...You walk swinging through the night

...Your noise is a cloud.

...A cloud over my head.

...While moving on the skies.

...People in my life speaks languages from other(modern?) lands.

...Long lie to silent who.

...Most of you are nice a lot.

...You bring(?) ???? and speak so gently.

...?????? ??? ??? ??? ?? a body for my head (hand?).

...Most of the world are ??????.

...People in my life speaks languages from other(modern?) lands.

...Long lie to silent who.

...Most of you are unbearable

...Si??es ???? ??? horizon(s?).

...Other people care(?) and amuse(?)

...My body tye (time?) lies through you.(?)

...People in my life speaks languages from other(modern?) lands.

That track comes from something called Torino 80 Vol 2 as far as I know.  Does anyone have Vol 1, 3, 4, etc?
