Bio
.. ..This is the official myspace for Flaming Tunes.... Dedicated to the memory of Gareth Williams 1953 - 2001.... .... A few updates for the new year very soon!.... ..FLAMING TUNES IS STILL AVAILABLE TO BUY ONLINE:.... ..CLICK HERE TO ORDER FLAMING TUNES CD..... .... .......... ..This site was launched to provide a myspace source of information.. about the first official Compact Disc issue of ..Flaming Tunes.., the cassette.. album released in 1985 by ..Gareth Williams.. and ..Mary Currie..... ..The album was recorded after Gareth left ..This Heat.. in the early.. 1980's and returned from the first of several trips to India... Except for its initial release there has been no official edition of FT,.. although a bootleg CD from the late 1990's included the tape in its.. entirety. It was misleadingly described as "This Heat's final demo.. recordings" which was a great cause of annoyance to Gareth... He considered the Tunes album a deliberate attempt to create.. a music with a different mood and texture to the often harsh and.. uncompromising This Heat recordings, whilst giving full reign to his.. eclectic tastes and distinctive musical stylings... To this end ..Life and Living Records.. worked with friends.. and associates of Gareth and Mary to see at long last the release of a ..definitive, authorised digital edition... .... The CD version is available to buy direct from Life and Living Records....... .......... ........ Flaming Tunes voted one of the standout re-issues of 2009..in The Wire magazine January Rewind issue!.... Updated 22nd December 2009... .. .. .. .. ..this profile may have been edited with ..Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4.. -

Have You Ever Read A Digital Apology, A Digital Apology....(with apologies to the Lovely Eggs)It was only brought to our notice recently that Flaming Tunes had been made available as a digital download by our distributor ReR since its release in May 2009. This was done without our knowledge and authorisation.We released Flaming Tunes for commemorative reasons, as well as for its own intrinsic value, and because of that we were very careful to make a quality production in terms of audio, artwork and keeping as a whole the only collection of music that Gareth intended for release. Had we decided to release a digital edition it would have been presented in that way, and we feel we owe an apolgy to those of you who may have purchased the download, to Flaming Tunes musicians and collaborators and to the memory of Gareth Williams.
Today we remember Gareth Williams, ten years on from his passing...
