New old Media Cannibals vid online

[gwyn_r]

Tender Comrade is the latest entry in the digitally remastered Professionals vids from the Media Cannibals, by way of justacat's tireless efforts, on the Professionals Circuit Archive. It's a lovely, quiet look at the bonds between comrades in arms, to a (for its time) very unusual a capella song by Billy Bragg.

Back in the day, morgandawn and sherrold used the stunningly

Wow, fabulous remaster. I wouldn't have ever guessed the song had been edited. It's also amazing to see an arc of action and tension to a song that remains pretty much the same. My compliments to all the MCs who worked on this.

sherrold used the stunningly high-tech method of hitting pause on the casette recorder to shorten the long silent pauses in between lines and to cut a verse.

oh, my god, how awesome is that??

God I flashed to me sitting on gattigria's couch, clapping out the beats, Sandy by the cassette player - poised, taut and intent, finger on the stop button.......

I think "scared I was going to screw it up" would be more accurate -- but it was hella fun having you there to help!

try downloading and using VLC. It comes with most necessary codecs.

I need more info in order to help! You should be able to hear these okay -- I haven't had anyone else mention this, so I am sure we can figure it out. 1) You've got a Windows machine, right? Is it trying to run these in Windows Media Player? Sometimes people set it up so that WMP is the default player, and it will open a QT file and totally barf. You have to turn off the default player setting in WM in order to get it not to do that

Oh, I'm so glad to see this one cleaned up! Such a beautiful song, and it was always one of my more favorite of the older vids.

You and Justacat are so wonderful for taking this project on!

I am so glad you are happy! I've got a nice piece of feedback to send round to you all, and hope that maybe some more might come in to add. This is such a huge favorite of mine. I not only adore the vid, but I have such fond memories of when we made it.

It's wonderful to see this re-mastered. You and justacat have done a wonderful job. The song is perfect for the lads and you all did a brilliant job editing to a challenging song.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it -- they are so crisp and clear and the song is so crisp and clear now, and everything about it makes me ridiculously happy now.
