I don't see anywhere in that article that they a group. They are a production act, like Full Intention and Shapeshifters. Plus I don't think they should be deleted.

I'm going to have to disagree that Freemasons performs under the alias "Alibi" as it is well known that Alibi is DJ Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.215.149 (talk) 11:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Alanis and Uninvited edit

This song is indeed sung by Bailey Tzuke, not Alanis Morisette. The original was sung (and in fact probably written) by Alanis Morisette. This track is played frequently by GaydarRadio who have confirmed this is actually sung by Bailey Tzuke. Also, I have contacted Bailey via Facebook and she has confirmed it is her on vocals. Also, if you go to the Freemason's MySpace page, you'll see they have added the track to their music player. There is a picture that accompanies the track and it is very clearly Bailey Tzuke in the photo! This track is being released in October, hence the lack of information online at the moment.Sibruk 19:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok mystery is solved, there is actually an Alanis version floating around. It is clearly the same remix with her vocals, Bailey's vocals are extremely different to the version I have. I will get confirmation from Russell on what the story is. .Supes77--

Further to the above.....still awaiting more details, but it should be included in the official article that there is an Alanis version, it did go out on Promo as such. Bailey's version has had additional production to it with the strings being replaced with a real orchestra. .Supes77--

Mystery Solved: James/Russell have advised that yes, an Alanis version was created, but never released officially, this didn't get put out on promo as previously thought, and any copies found should be considered illegal. Without going in to the details as it was a private msg, you can get the idea of what has happened.

I have removed Alanis from the remixes area and noted her only against the Single, cover version. Supes77 —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:29, August 26, 2007 (UTC).

Great, thanks for the info, Supes77! You've dropped the release date for Uninvited in the article - is it no longer going to be October, do you know? Sibruk 22:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply


Not sure Sibruk, keep an eye on their myspace blog, they should announce something soon! Supes77 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.80.128.183 (talk) 03:38, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

The Beach - Suntun feat. Tia edit

This track was removed from singles as a 2007. It was also renamed correctly. It was not a single. Released in 2005 and is a remix..Supes77—The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 08:54, August 25, 2007 (UTC).

In addition - this is now confirmed as a release for 2007 but under the Alias of The Alibi, as such does not belong on this wikipage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supes77 (talkcontribs) 10:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unreleased remixes edit

If the remixes are unreleased, are they really worthy of note to include? Jamesb1 (talk) 14:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Probably not, and I'm sure they have been removed before as unverifiable. ~~ [Jam][talk] 14:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Are they Freemasons? edit

It might seem off-topic but I am curious and I'm sure some readers would love to know: are they freemasons? I know it's just the name of the tavern but still. Still... Anyone have like, an interview or anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.88.188 (talk) 03:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Kylie's The One edit

Who ever it is - stop putting The One as a remix! It is NOT being released as a single and has NOT been remixed. If I am wrong...put a citation on the page....until then....leave it as a producer credit only! Supes77 (talk) 11:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Music-video origin edit

Shouldn't somewhere be noted that Rain Down Love video is based on Daft Punk's Around the World? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.242.87 (talk) 18:49, 16 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Freemasons (band)Freemasons (duo) – Not a band per WP:BANDDAB. The editor whose username is Z0 17:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nom. bd2412 T 01:25, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose This is a duo of electronic musicians. They play electronic musical instruments. Chubbles (talk) 01:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose as proposed. WP:BANDDAB says "Use either '(band)' or '(duo)' when the musical ensemble is a duet." It does not deprecate the use of "(band)" in these cases. Dekimasuよ! 02:27, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose the guidance on WP:BANDDAB says "Use either '(band)' or '(duo)' when the musical ensemble is a duet." Maybe we should remove the (duo) option as it adds nothing In ictu oculi (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - a band makes it more imprecise because there could be 2 to an infinite number of members whereas duo shows there is only 2 members in the group. A band is defined as "a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type". This music group is a duo of electronic musicians who are not instrumentalists (players of a musical instrument). In popular culture, a band is typically a group of 4-5 people who sing, play the guitar, drums, bass, etc. Calling a group of 2 musicians a band is simply inaccurate and improper although literally they could fit the scope. @Chubbles: @Dekimasu: @In ictu oculi: please consider reconsidering. Not only (duo) makes it easier to categorize music groups consisting of 2 members, it also distinguishes electronic music groups from regular music groups.

  • 1) To this point, I think everyone has been fairly accepting of the fact that you filed 30 individual move requests instead of a multimove. However, please understand that it's annoying to get over 30 page notifications for the same comment–and then getting 30 edit conflicts after you edit the comment with the ping in it. If the issues at hand are the same, please pick one talk page and have the rest of the discussion there.
2) There is nothing inaccurate or improper about calling a band with two members a band. Musical ensemble#Two parts: "Examples of two-member bands are Japandroids, Local H, Pet Shop Boys, Hella, Flight of the Conchords, Death from Above 1979, Francis Xavier, I Set My Friends On Fire, Middle Class Rut, The Pity Party, Little Fish, The White Stripes, Big Business, Two Gallants, Lightning Bolt, The Ting Tings, The Black Box Revelation, Satyricon, The Black Keys, Tenacious D, Simon and Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Johnossi, The Pack A.D., Air Supply and Royal Blood. When electronic sequencers became widely available in the 1980s, this made it easier for two-member bands to add in musical elements that the two band members were not able to perform. Sequencers allowed bands to pre-program some elements of their performance, such as an electronic drum part and a synth-bass line. Two-member pop music bands such as Soft Cell, Blancmange, Yazoo and Erasure used pre-programmed sequencers." In fact, this shows why it is easier to have two-person bands when electronic music is involved. As Chubbles stated, electronic music is music made using electronic musical instruments. It isn't necessary to require a band to be analog.
3) The proposal referenced a particular naming convention, but the moves do not follow from that naming convention. Dekimasuよ! 08:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment. Reply to Dekimasu: I'm not saying a two-member band is incorrect but it's just less preferred compared to duo. Musical ensemble#Two parts says two-member rock and pop bands are relatively rare and they are mostly rock and pop groups not electronic music duos that are the subjects of these move discussions. Wikipedia's preference is usually the one most commonly used. Bands play musical instruments unlike electronic musicians who use digital audio workstation (DAW) to produce their music. DAW is not a musical instrument but a computer software. As for the naming convention, it did say to use either "(band)" or "(duo)" when the musical ensemble is a duet, as in duo for the duet and band for others. That precisely supports my argument so I'm not sure why you said "the moves do not follow from that naming convention". The editor whose username is Z0 08:49, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment the discussion for the general issue of whether electronic duos are accurately described as bands seems to be coalescing at Talk:The Ghost (Faroese band). Chubbles (talk) 10:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
