Ein unveröffentlichtes Album der TELEVISION PERSONALITIES. Aufgenommen 1990 auf einem Vierspurgerät vom Bassisten Jowe über ein paar Sessions hinweg. Jowe Head erinnert sich: ,Nach nur ein paar Wochen hatten wir 15 Tracks aufgenommen, von denen einige neu aufgenommen und mit unterschiedlichen Arrangements auf ,Closer To God landeten. Unser Plan war es schon damals, diese Tracks irgendwann zu finalisieren und zu veröffentlichen - die Zeit ist nun gekommen." Von den bisher unveröffentlichten Songs basiert ,I Like That In A Girl" auf einer Unterhaltung die TELEVISION PERSONALITIES Mastermind Daniel Treacy mit Lawrence von der Band FELT aus Birmingham hatte, womit sich der besondere Akzent am Ende des Songs erklärt. ,Love Is A Four-Letter Word" war einer der Songs, die die Band regelmäßig live spielte und der sich irgendwann zu ,Love Is Better Than War" entwickeln sollte. Auf ,I Suppose You Think It's Funny" zeigen Jowe und Daniel ihren Falsett-Gesang, während die Basis für ,If You Fly Too High" eine Begegnung mit Evan Dando von den LEMONHEADS war. Die Band jammte auf der Bühne mit Evan und spielte ein paar Songs von Jonathan Richman und Johnny Thunders. Im Song wird auch Alan McGee namentlich erwähnt, der ein großer Fan der TVPs war. McGee gibt nicht nur offen zu, dass er Daniels Musikstil kopiert hat, sondern auch, dass das subkulturelle Schaffen von Dan Treacy seine Entscheidung bestärkte, mit ,The Living Room" einen Mod/Psych Club zu eröffnen und mit Creation Records ein Label zu gründen, auf dem schließlich Bands wie THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, PRIMAL SCREAM, RIDE, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, TEENAGE FANCLUB oder OASIS veröffentlichen sollten.[ENG] Television Personalities unreleased album. Recorded in 1990 by bass player Jowe over a number sessions on a portable 4-track cassette-tape machine. "Over the course of a few weeks, we had amassed fifteen tracks, some of which ended up being re-recorded with very different arrangements on 'Closer to God'. The intention was to finish and release these tracks at some point, and that time has finally arrived" - Jowe Head. Of the previously unheard songs, "I Like That in a Girl" was based on a conversation Daniel Treacy had with Lawrence of the Birmingham band Felt, hence the peculiar accent that Dan uses towards the end! "Love is a Four-Letter Word" was a song the band would play regularly live; it eventually evolved into "Love is Better Than War". "I Suppose You Think It's Funny" displays Jowe and Daniels double-falsetto skills. "If You Fly Too High" was based on an encounter with Evan Dando of The Lemonheads. The band jammed with Evan on stage that night, playing some tunes by Jonathan Richman and Johnny Thunders. The song also mentions Alan McGee, who was a great fan of the TVPS. Alan openly admits that he emulated Dan's style of music, and influenced his decision to run a mod-psychedelic club, The Living Room, and to start his label, Creation Records, on which The Jesus And Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and Oasis released hit records.

Works amazingly, but only if you install it correctly.
Material Type: 157mil Closed Cell Foam, Style: 157 mil 36 SqFt
If you purchasing Siless Liner 157 mil (4 mm) Sound Deadening mat, to block unwanted sounds in your car, this is what you need to buy. But wait! It's not the only thing you need to buy if you want to "actually" deaden sound. By itself, it will definitely block a noticeable amount of sound, and, most likely, that's all you realistically need. But... But... If you want the Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat to really help you take it up a few notches, to get the best sound almost bordering on soundproofing, listen up. You will have to install traditional butyl rubber first. Doesn't have to be the Siless brand, but I'm sure they would love to sell both to you, I used both Killmat (80mil) and Noico (50mil). I have a Honda S2000. It's a two-seater convertible sports car if you don't know what this car is, and it's loud when I'm driving above 60mph. I also happen to have a sound system installed as well. Other than that, the car is stock. I first installed the butyl rubber on the car's interior sheet metal. I went all out and covered everything I could. I didn't need to but I wanted to. I was extremely impressed with the results. But I wanted to go further. Not because I needed to but because just wanted to see what it would be like. So I bought Siless Liner 157 mil (4 mm) 36sqft Sound Deadening mat to go on top of the butyl rubber mats. I put this over every area I installed the butyl rubber. I had to be careful of clearance issues since I added a significant amount of underlayment, and you should too. If you put butyl rubber sound-deadening materials in 50% of the total interior area, you'll hear a noticeable improvement. If you put butyl in about 80% of the total area, you'll be even more amazed at the improvement, compared to before. I originally did all the above myself, so that's my experience and so your mileage may vary. I then installed the Siless Liner Sound Deadening mat over every place I could even going further than I could with the butyl rubber. I used the Siles Liner in areas where butyl rubber would not have been effective, such as the roll bar hoop area and large empty cavities or holes. I covered everything I could, firewall, doors, floor pan, transmission tunnel, trunk, trunk lid, fuel tank area, rear quarter panels, and rear-wheel tunnels, in Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat. WOW!! The Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat was the icing on the cake! Let's not forget, this car is a convertible sports car so it will never be a quiet ride, ever. But I can now actually have a conversation with a passenger at a normal-ish volume! This also means I can now have a normal hands-free phone call without having to plug one ear to block out the noise! My sound system sounds so much better! Just by going through the install process, I looked for any vibration, rattle, squeak, and noise-prone areas to either eliminate or reduce unwanted noise production. If you forget this step, the inside and outside of your car will rattle and buzz. I skipped this step the first time around. But did it right before I installed more butyl rubber and the improvement was impressive, especially inside the car. Outside the car, I didn't notice a difference until I put the last layer of Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat. The sound deadening mat works both ways from what I can tell. If I turned up my music, as loud as I occasionally do, parked in the attached garage to the house, with the garage door closed, I would be barely able to tell the car was playing music in the garage. It sounds like it is another car, just a little bit down the street, with a very loud base. If you stand 20 feet away outside the car, the sound system is noticeable, but not obnoxious by a long shot. Get a 3 piece wood/metal roller set as well, which makes quick work of large areas.
