WANTED: Six Mile High - Homebaker & Hallowed Ground



SIX MILE HIGH
Homebaker & Hallowed Ground
1995 Sony

Notes :
I'm looking for mp3 copy of two 12'' singles (Homebaker & Hallowed Ground) from obscure Australian indie dance band Six Mile High.

Six Mile High were an electronic-fusion-rock group from Perth, Australia, who released an independent album, Initiations, under the name Yummy Fur in 1994. When they signed with Sony in 1995, they had to change their name as a group already held that name internationally. They released the singles "Homebaker" and "Hallowed Ground" in 1995, both receiving strong airplay on Triple J and locally within Perth - however, failed to succeed commercially outside their home city and subsequently were dropped by Sony. They reverted to their former name, releasing a single "Life" and album ''One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other'' in 1997.

Band members were: Andrei Mazandarani (vocals, programming), Anton Mazandarani (drums, percussion), Julian Ralls (guitar), Travis Calley (keyboards, programming, saxophone), Kiriakos Lucas (guitar) and Jerome Mazandarani (bass).


Their first single ''Homebaker'' have tracks Homebaker (The Loco Mix) & Homebaker (The Molecule A Go Go Mix), both remixed by Stephen Mallinder from Cabaret Voltaire.

I can't find any info about their second single, tracklisting, cover.

If anyone have mp3 copy of these records, please leave comment or send email to: evibes72@yahoo.com

I have copy of title tracks, i'm not sure if these are original versions or remixes, both are great, baggy influenced tracks.

The Adventure Babies - Laugh




THE ADVENTURE BABIES
Laugh
1992 Factory

Notes :
The Adventure Babies were a Manchester-based Brit Pop band founded by Matt Tedstone, Dave Atherton and Jez Bramwell in 1990. The band had three releases on Factory: ''The Camper Van EP (1991)'', ''Laugh (1992)'' & ''Barking Mad (1992)''.
Possibly their greatest claim to fame was being the last band signed by Manchester legend Factory Records before it went bankrupt. At the time of Factory's bankruptcy in 1992, test pressings had been made of a second single from the Laugh album.
The band continued playing with new guitarist Vulch (Bryan Wilkin), formerly working with Martin Hannett and seeking a new recording contract for a year. To tie in with their final gig, a second album ''Once Upon A Time The End'' was issued in 2005, on CD only.
