I watched UTCM and was wonering since I don't know how these songs sound like, could someone possibly tell me which parts in the movie are these songs played.

Alexa de Paris

Mia Bocca

Old Friends 4 Sale

and any others that are not on the Parade album/sountrack I can't name right

now.

Alexa de Paris is playing during the scene where Christopher and Mary are dancing out on the deck (aka the "Cabbagehead!" scene). To my knowledge, the other two you mentioned don't appear in the movie.

"Love or Money," which wasn't included on the album but released as a B-side, plays during the shopping spree Christopher, Mary and Tricky go on.

Yeah, what FunkMistress said.


Old Friends 4 Sale is that slow Jazz/Blues ballad that's played during Christopher & Tricky's arguement, when Chris stood him up the previous night to run off with Mary.

Oh, and Mia Boca is that heavily orchestrated, drum machine-driven song played during Mary's birthday party scene.

NWF said:

Oh, yeah. But it should be noted that it's an instrumental version of a song that also exists in two other versions with two different sets of lyrics.



'K?

One of which can be heard on "The Vault" album.



Geek.

Oh, and Mia Boca is that heavily orchestrated, drum machine-driven track played during Mary's birthday party scene.

What was Alexa de Paris the b-side to, was it Mountains? That dancing scene is perfect, an audio visual version of the perfect parts of The making of Americans.

If I could thread jump, I wonder if his obvious fascination with twenties and thirties during this time is what led him towards Dorothy Parker?

Because of all of this talk I watched UTCM tonight. I actually like it even more now. Did you guys catch the Sister Fate single in the background of where Prince and Tricky are staying. There's also a Miles Davis album on a chair. Behind the chair is an old album. It has a black woman on the cover. It looks like an album from the sixties.

Wow! I'm going to have to check that out.

I also read in The Vault the parts of "Junk music" from the Flesh recording sessions made it into UTCM but I don't know where.

GaryMF said:

Great, more stuff to look for. I can't believe I've never heard of the Flesh Recordings. As far as UTCM, I do have CHARADE. I've never heard of the Junk Music song. I thought I was a little more hardcore than that. I'll send you the bill GaryMF, haha!

Well, I need to check my Vault at home, but I'm pretty sure there was this recording session(s) that took place pre-madhouse with Sheila, Dr, Fink, maybe even W&L... can't remember..... that was just jamming in a jazzy vein. THe idea was to release it with no name a la Madhouse or the Black Album.... but it never made it for some reason.

I kinda remember Per Nilson saying that a bit of Junk Music (one of the long jams from the session... it was going to be an entire "side" of the LP) made it into UTCM.

GaryMF said:

The Flesh consisted of Prince, Levi Seacer Jr., Eric Leeds, and Sheila E.

The initial 'Flesh' sessions were just Prince, Eric, Sheila & Levi,
but the sessions that made up the album (including the track 'Junk Music')
included Lisa, Wendy & her brother Jonathan too.

'Junk Music' can he heard very briefly in UTCM in the scene where Chistopher
and Tricky are discussing Mary Sharon, intercut with scenes of Mary and her
father talking while she brushes her hair. From about the line where Christopher
says..."No Tricky, she's definitely still a virgin. I think she's afraid of Men"
up until Mary says "You've changed the conditions over the last 3 years!"
