Compilations

Tycho's first released track, featuring Carlie Page on vocals. According to Ken, "This recording sounded awesome but some monkey butchered it in the mastering stage". The "techpunk mix" title was added by someone unknown to the band, without permission.

The other acts on this compilation CD are largely Melbourne based, including Dekonstrukt. The latter included Jandy Rainbow in the lineup, who would for a time live with Ken and Georgina after a move to Brisbane, when Ken would help produce and remix some of Jandy's songs for her debut album. Dekonstrukt's song on Club UK is credited as being produced by JVA (John von Ahlen, later of The Tenth Stage and Parralox), although the incorrect recording was included on the CD, the demo, not JVA's mix.

Tycho distanced itself rapidly from this label.

• 05. Tycho Brahe - Marianne
• 10. Tycho Brahe - White Room

Tycho's CD debut in the original duo format of Ken Evans and Georgina Emery. These recordings mark the last time to date that Tycho used a commercial recording studio. This alternate recording of The Human League's Marianne is essentially the same arrangement as the "extended version" on the Free EP (2006), whilst this recording of White Room was remastered for the Cassiopeia album (2000). A version of Sentence was also recorded, but the band were that dissatisfied with the result and the expense that the recording has never been released, and Ken focused on setting up Tycho's own recording facility.

Note that the artwork displayed above has been signed by original Human League member, and co-writer of Marianne, Ian Craig Marsh.

• 1.07 Tycho Brahe - Dreams of Dying
• 2.10 Tycho Brahe - Sentence

This double CD-R compilation was limited to 150 copies. Compiled by Radio WUSB DJ Thaljana in New York, to augment the synthpop radio show Chartreuse Translucent, it included Dreams of Dying and Sentence from the Cassiopeia album. DJ Thaljana's altruistic aim was to "spread the synthpop", and this 36 track set provides a great snapshot of the underground scene at the time.

Billed on the inside sleeve as "A Compilation In Support of 4ZZZ FM", it is uncertain whether this was ever actually released. TB has a "pre-release" copy in the vaults. A nice snapshot of the Brisbane scene at the time, it includes acts such as Dogmachine (Stephen Birt drummed in this band), Ostia (who played several shows with Tycho in the late '90s), and Squelch (one time synth bassist Lana G was in this band). The version of "Dreams of Dying" is the album version from Cassiopeia.

The version of Total Kaos from the Cassiopeia album was track number 2, on disc one of this three disc compilation set. Other notable acts on this set were Wave In Head, and Psyche.

• 1-09 Tycho Brahe - Don't Feel That Way
• 2-05 Tycho Brahe - Avarice (George Pappas Real Life Remix)

Given away to promote the Assemblage 23 + Angel Theory gigs in Australia (December 2007, January 2008). Tycho Brahe was local support act in Brisbane. Although released by Fiend Magazine, this was not included with any issue. Comes in a clear plastic sleeve with a flyer for the gig.

The version of Don't Feel That Way is the same as that on the Atlantic album, however the organiser of this compilation misplaced the unmastered file whilst Ken was travelling interstate. With only a few hours notice of this problem given prior to a mastering deadline, Ken was not able to arrange access to the file, so an inferior quality mp3 file was converted to CD audio format by the organiser for the promo release.

This is the "single edit" version of the song, also available on the single of Don't Feel That Way. TB was honoured to be included on this download only compilation with new recordings by heroes Boxcar, and Severed Heads.
