Early 1980s, Tim S had a whole load of music written out which didn't really fit the Cardiacs genre - but NEEDED to be played. A side project was formed - Tim, Dom and me, plus Sarah on occasion - to rehearse & record some of these. We were probably called The Cardiacettes, most of the side projects were. Six Piffol tunes, and a few more including this. And another tune which ended up in the Cardiacs set, bet you can't work out which song: first time it was played live I was stand-in bass player just for this song, as Jim hadn't learnt it yet.
Thank you so much for sharing this precious memory. The story behind this composition just keeps getting more and more interesting as time goes by! Do you by any chance know anything about the current whereabouts of the original recording of "Pod"? I heard it once briefly and it was astonishing.
I dearly hope someday that Barmy FiveSeveN will record an entire album of music by Tim Smith like this piece...music that Tim wrote out as staff notation but never recorded himself.

Man. Why have I not heard this before?! Its almost Zappaesque in how some of the time changes work, but its got a very Tim Smith tonality going on. Wild.
I'd guess this was conceived at the same time as th-cam.com/video/PAdWGylEODo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AccretionSecretions Similar Zappa-esque vibe. I can vaguely remember Pod, but don't think it was ever played at the time.
As far as we know it is from 1983, were the Piffols from then too? At the last Salisbury concention I was briefly shown an original (rehearsal) recording from the piece. I remember being flabbergasted by how much faster the tempo intended by Tim was than our sluggish version...!
The song is featured on the Whole World Window II. double albums that were sold last year on the WWW2 event in Preston. All proceedings go to Dr. Tim. I think there are still a few left! twww.onlineweb.shop/The_Whole_World_Window_II_CD_Double_Album/p5611275_19040796.aspx
Még mindig nem térek magamhoz... Egy, hogy lehet ilyet írni? Kettő, le a kalappal az egész zenekarnak, hogy tűpontosan végig lett játszva. A mai napig hiányzik Tim, és fog is...
Mi se nagyon értettük hogy lehet ilyet írni...ráadásul mikor Tim még csak "kölyökkutya" volt, ahogy ő fogalmazott! Valahol amúgy létezik ennek a darabnak egy eredeti Cardiacs által játszott (próba)felvétele. Ők még gyorsabban játszották.:O

@@ritakarpati4134: This was about 40 years ago. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning!
oh hey it’s tim quy!!! lol
yeah, this song sounds a lot like it would fit into the piffol series!
Rest in peace Tim Quy

Seriously? Where on earth can I find music that Tim wrote that wasn’t recorded?

Incredible, can't believe this was never recorded before?? I didn't know Tim notated everything back then already.
I find this on Christmas eve. And I didn't think Santa brought presents for us grownups! Smashing,well done pondlings.

I think this is the first time I has ever been played - it was just sheet music
😮🎉😂❤😢😊🎉 heart leaps for joy and gratitude and solidarity in the love of music 🎉❤
what a beautiful noise so wonderfully performed!!!!
Marvelous! Better than the music of the Tom & Jerry cartoons that Tim Smith told me he loved so much!!!
Great stuff. It was fab seeing it streamed, but lovely to see and hear it properly rendered. Well done everyone.
Ah, you followed the actual gig too? That's an honour.
