I thought I would throw up a list of Ben's music (see attached pdf) that I have managed to put together over the last few years. Much of the 'unreleased' stuff is still floating around the internet and on his site, whilst the 'released' stuff can be bought on the usual sites (itunes, Amazon etc.) PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND BUY THEM!!! In total I have listed 183 tracks on the PDF. Those tracks marked *** I have found references to, but am yet to find copies of...the search continues. Finding his work on the internet is like panning for gold . The four albums/EP's I have had the most trouble finding are: Radical Face - EP2 Radical Face - From The Teeth Of 4-Tracks Radical Face - Robbing The Grave EP Radical Face vs Phalex Sledgehammer - Crooked Teeth If you are aware of any song titles/recordings not on the list and/or links to where they may be found, please add them in a comment below.
Hm, I recognize them all, all but the Helicopter Project, and I wonder what is is. I've collected everything I can, from iTunes, and Cooper himself (a generous man), by only just asking. What I've collected so far http://themomentbetweenaflickerofli.../09/all-of-ben-coopers-creations-updated.html
I found the two Helicopter Project links (below) which were probably posted by Ben at some stage as they stream from his site (and yes he is super generous!). Shut Up! is a great little screamo track that always makes me laugh. Smile seems more in the the style of Radical Face so it may not be Helicopter Project stuff - I'm sure only Ben knows. www.radicalface.com/music/shutup.mp3 www.radicalface.com/music/smile.mp3
Yeah, I have a sister who lives in New Jersey and while taking my Niece and Nephew to Disney World she met up with some friends and landed a copy of Typecast on her laptop. We did a music swap a few years ago, and that's how I learned of B. Cooper. She has an addiction to those who aren't heard of. Little does she know now. haha. Thanks for putting those links up.
Whoa, is that really Ben's vocals on Shutup! or was the Helicopter Project a collaboration? Thats a pretty impressive list, have you actually got all of these songs or are they just ones that you know exist?
Ha, yeah pretty sure. Helicopter Project was a collaboration, but I think I read somewhere that Ben took over lead vocals when they were looking for a new singer. I was a bit unsure he had that kind of vocal range in him myself, until I came across some of his Biowulf stuff. Think its pretty cool personally (not to mention being a hell of a lot of fun). Check out this gig at Jack Rabbits he did a few years back. I love the pizza/merchandise guy doing the rounds in the crowd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C_5lDruyuQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_RGipEf10k Thanks, its taken a bloody long time to find it all! All the songs marked *** on the pdf are tracks I am yet to get my hands on - I have everything else. I have bought everything he has commercially released on cd/vinyl and got everything else from either itunes, amazon or panning the net. Have also been lucky enough to get some of his rarer unreleased stuff off a very kind likeminded fan.
I have just updated the list with track numbers and album titles to make it a little easier to navigate Also just found a brand new electronic track from a Japanese group called Miaou featuring some beautiful work by Radical Face: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXaSv8S2pb8
Where did you find the Radical Face vs. Phalex Sledgehammer stuff? I'm having trouble locating it myself. Also, if you'd be interested in exchanging it for "The City and The Machines" I'd be happy to.
Not had any luck finding that one. Any chance the title is a variation on 'we walk through walls'? Could you shed some light Ben?
I know "We Will Walk Through Walls", "Walking Through Walls" and "Climbing Out of the Wall". Lots of walls. Nothing about ceilings, though.
I am an great fan and I was wondering if you could shed some light on where you found: From the teeth of four track, crooked teeth, and Typecast. Thanks!
Crooked Teeth is an easy one (@ Ben: Thanks a lot for sharing!). Don't know about the others, though.
Thank you very much! but from what I read in the list obove crooked teeth is also complete album. I will continue searching for this but that you for this song!
I got them by tracking down die hard fans on the internet and harassing them. I'd be happy to share if you want to PM me your e-mail. I've got everything on Craig's list, as well as a few others.
ok all I have yet to get are some tracks from typecast all of teeth of 4-track and and all of crooked teeth. I have all his remixes and all 4 iron orchestra tracks so if I have anything that is of need to anybody please inform me.
I figured I'd register to add what I know. "We Crawl Through Ceilings (Benedict Arnold Dance Tribute)" exists, and I have it I also also have "Riverbottom Nightmare Soup Kitchen" and "Devils Sleep Inside my Head". EDIT: I also have the full Robbing The Grave EP. Besides the tracks listed, it also contains "The Strangest Things (Instrumental)", and another track called "Head Full Of Shit".
Also this one: http://oldradicalface.com/music/nothingcompares2u.mp3 also does anybody have any possible places I could look for From The Teeth of 4-Track? I have Opus (parts 1, 2, 3, and 4) but I am missing the remaining tracks. I would be eternally grateful to anybody who would help me!
