Justus Köhncke - Zwei Photonen - 13-Jun-06 12:29 AM
The title "Timecode" is almost an ironic answer to the question "How long has this been going on?" that forms the refrain of the Lipps, Inc. song.

Its interesting to me that the 60-minutes style "ticking clock" sound is also part of "How Long", but as a rather more subtle effect. I had never recognized it as a clock in that song, and one could debate whether the sound was intended to make that representation. In "Timecode", however, the sound is given a couple of moments to shine, and is instantly recognizable as a ticking clock. The track title helps to suggest this as well.

In the notes that accompany Mixed with Love (Sussd Records/Salsoul UK, 2004), a compilation of mixes by the famous disco dj and remixer Walter Gibbons, Tim Lawrence gives this story about Gibbons dj-ing during the time when he became born again and wouldnt play records with "unhealthy" messages (circa 1983):

Gibbons told [writer Stephen] Harvey that he was now playing records at his own house parties and added that he took requests, even for records that he considered to be unchristian, because that could help him get into the mindset of dancers and help reshape their outlook. When one dancer asked him to play "Nasty Girls", Gibbons put it on, and then segued into "Try God" by the New York Community Choir. "For me, I have to let God play the records," he told the writer. "Im just an instrument."
