1997 - 2000
Details in F8 History
2002
When Terminatryx was created in 2002, all F8 operations were put on hold, including :
-
Pre-production & production of F8
music videos
- F8 merchandise
- Recording of A Star Is Miscarried EP
- Live shows
It is unlikely that any F8 songs will
get high radio rotation any time soon as its pop sensibilities are rather
non-existent - not to say it's inaudible, quite the contrary - it
simply does not conform to your run of the mill recipe-laden boring
meanderings funneled into cash generating concepts of puerile, base, formulaic, instant auditory rape aimed at commercial radio...
2004
Extensive F8 music was used in Paul & Sonja's 2004 short
flick imPERFECTION ( details at www.flamedrop.com/pictures )
During early- and mid-2000 various programming, sequencing, loops and backing was created, but not used - these got resurrected and used across the new release of all the F8 recordings, incl. songs on the 2017 release The Soul And The Flesh).
2009
The F8 track SexHex was included in the historic Kopskoot! heavy Afrikaans compilation CD (produced & compiled by Paul).
2017
In 2017 it dawned that F8 will celebrate its 20th anniversary(!)
To celebrate, all of the 4 recording sessions across the years each got their first ever digital release, plus the new 2017 offering :
THE SOUL AND THE FLESH (2017) |
|
A STAR IS MISCARRIED (2000) |
|
ADDICTIONS (1999) |
|
PRONOUNCED: FATE (1998) |
|
A D8 WITH F8 (1997) |
|
All these 27 tracks will be accumulatively
compiled in the anthology
IN RETROSPECT (1997 - 2017)
A very limited amount will be available on double CD, bolted to a metal plate (initially intended for the late-'90s STEP ON IT! collected works.
While no concrete live plans are on the cards, it is not ruled out.
If there is a demand, additional personnel will be recruited for that purpose.
