Cardiacs - Sparkly Silvery Sky

[@voodoolander]

"Life's ambitions fulfilled deep inside my mind and yet I sit here, eyes closed navigating in my tin can as I rush straight forward, deeper, deep into the sparkly silvery sky!" Altogether now......

Please mister, we must know this: A number of cameras, a recording off'f'f'f'f the desk - THERE MUST BE MORE OF THIS. Where is it? Give us it. This was Camden Barfly '99 was it not? THERE MUST BE MORE OF THIS. Thankyou sir may I have another. BANG Thankyou sir may I have another. BANG Thankyou sir may I have another.

Bloomin' fab.

Great song, never heard it before! Amazing band and Tim's a treasure.

[@voodoolander]

I had no idea either - then i picked up the demo version by The Goddamn Whores (I also had no idea it was a cover version) and you can actually hear what is being sung! So i thought i'd share it for the next glorious sing-a-long when either band plays it next (cardiacs and goddamn whores were playing it on the last tour - double the fun!!)

Yes fucking yes. TIM

[@RussellBanks-ye6de]

I see you have posted a few videos from the Cardiacs gig at the Camden Falcon from late January 1999. Were you involved in their production at all? I ask because my brother Jonathan Banks was and I am trying to track down the other camera persons. Thanks

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY IS THERE NO STUDIO VERSION OF THIS

[@Benn.singersongwriter]

There is a studio version from the band of Jon Poole. It has a cardiac vibe but i like this live version a little more. randomjonpoole.bandcamp.com/track/sparkly-silver-sky

[@CrankyRayy]

Never seen the live version of this one

[@silverytheband]

Camden Falcon, 1999?

[@voodoolander]

Really sorry but I have had a good listen (as you'd expect) and I can't decipher anything beyond the chorus. But I do recommend getting hold of the demo of the Goddamn Whores version (this was thrown in if you bought their cd on the last Cardiacs tour) as it is well worth hearing Random Jon Poole singing it. It is fantastic.
