*Separated Tracks Notes*
I had some time so I dove into cutting the OB 1987 show up into tracks.
Notes: 1) I didn't edit the file at all, just separated it into tracks.
2) They're cut into FLAC 6 files, made with a free version of Audacity.
3) When there was more than several seconds of space and/or banter between tracks, I created 'stage banter' tracks.
4) There are 2 versions of 'It Only Makes Me Laugh.' One version has the crowd noise faded out after the song ends.
4)
Before No One Lives Forever, there was part of a song introduction for a
'new song' called Winning Side or The Winning Side. The recroding was
stopped before that song was played and No One Lives Forever kicks in,
mid song. I removed the intro for Winning Side and faded in the song.
That makes a good CD1 to CD2 break, if listeners want to burn onto disc.
5)
'Winning Side' was part of the soundtrack of the then upcoming move
'She's Out of Control.' The song was included on at least one later
album by OB, and versions are available on YouTube. ~Gman

Before the band Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman and his
brother Richard founded The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, which
was more of a theatrical troupe than a straight ahead band. It has even
been said that the very band was formed as part of Richard Elfman's
film project. To watch these guys (and girls) do their thing was like
watching an NC-17 rated Betty Boop cartoon on acid, a totally rude and
hilariously brilliant musical performance experience. The film "The
Forbidden Zone" is/was the only cinematic testament to the existence of
this wonderfully weird ensemble, which Maestro Danny evolved into the
better known new wave big band Oingo Boingo when the brothers parted
ways. One can get sort of an idea as to the energy of this lost
treasure of a film from the soundtrack selections. A highlight is
Danny's take on Cab Calloway in Minnie the Moocher, which was a staple
of the Mystic Knights' original performances. Another is actress Susan
Tyrell's performance of "Witch's Egg", which she also penned the lyrics
for. There are also the wonderful instrumental intervals, which range
from punchy funky cartoonish to surprisingly beautiful (the blatantly
Satie-ish love theme), and of course the title theme, the style of which
was to determine the rock direction of Boingo.
Track List:
1. Forbidden Zone 2. 'Hercules' Family Theme 3. Some of These Days 4. Journey Through the Intestines 5. Squeezit's Vision of his 'Sister' 6. Queen's Revenge 7. Factory 8.
