about

Tasty is Tycho Brahe’s second album, originally released December 7, 2001, just over a year after the debut album Cassiopeia; it was billed at release as “a collection of remixes, re-edits, and covers”.

The release was originally planned as two separate CD EPs, “Dreams of Dying” and “In Your Heart”. The EPs were to feature alternate versions of the title tracks originally found on Cassiopeia, plus new instrumental track “Delos (parts i and ii)”, and cover versions of Send Me An Angel (Real Life) and the by then infamous Tainted/Who, both regular and popular inclusions in Tycho's live sets.

The latter, Tainted/Who, was a fan favourite at live shows, spawning its own special dance moves with certain audiences, being a mashup of Tainted Love segueing into the Doctor Who Theme - but this track ultimately led to the undoing of the two separate releases due to sample licensing issues. With those problems necessitating re-recording and remastering of the Tainted/Who track, cost overruns for the project were contained by compiling the two EPs into a single album, thereby halving CD manufacturing costs. The band felt that the re-recorded version of Tainted/Who, with all of it's Doctor Who samples stripped out and retitled as "Tainted Love vs The Doctor", was a disappointing compromise.

Tasty also features an epic remix of White Room, by George Pappas, who was part of Australian band Real Life at that time. Tycho Brahe had played several live shows with Real Life by this time.

The original working title of the combined album release was “Tasty Morsels”, and the concept artwork included a photograph of a number of lab mice laid out for dissection, with Tycho Room resident feline Max the Studio Cat looking on hungrily. It was ultimately decided that “Morsels” would be dropped, leaving the title as “Tasty”, and the “hidden track” from the In Your Heart EP, "Max", was placed on the end of the CD; this was a recording of Max the Studio Cat eating a piece of cheese, it sounds disgusting and the band thought it was hilarious. The cover features a Sergio Leone-like close up of Max’s eyes with him in full “predator” mode – but in reality swiping angrily at a stick waved by Ken Evans, and recorded on digital video by friend of the band Paul Ferrari, with a digital still taken from that. A stylised rat logo features on parts of the artwork, calling back to the original mouse art concept.

This “Special Edition” Bandcamp-only release of Tasty replaces the original release's "Tainted Love vs The Doctor" with "Tainted/Who" as originally intended in 2001. This previously unreleased version has become popularly known amongst "Tychfans" as the “Banned by The BBC Mix”, a title originated by Tycho Brahe web master Ben “Heretic” Buchanan, as it contains all of the samples from the 1972 Doctor Who episode "Day of The Daleks" which were stripped out for the CD release. Also included is the previously unreleased standalone version of "Doctor Who Theme", and additional hidden track "XX50", both intended for inclusion on the EPs, but culled from the final CD album release. These three tracks are only officially available on this Bandcamp release.
