thanks dan. "hole" was my foetus entry point and for years i thought it was the greatest album of all time, but now it's "deaf", "ache" and the early singles i listen to the most, so i really need to get this.

you know he played synth on the pragVEC! Lp before leaving London for NY? Their drummer Nick Cash was also in The Lines but Thirwell didn't seem to remember them when I asked.

Oh btw rife is available on emusic. Trying to resist the urge to burn all my foetus stuff and make a mint on amazon. One of the Marc almond singles is starting at $40!

nice. there was a cringe worthy interview on resonance fm this evening with jg thirwell. he seems like a cool a guy who's heavily into music but the interviewer was a complete dick. he even mispronounced einsturzende neubauten

I've been trying to find a podcast of this but cannot. Can you explain further?

(I mean, it just aired today and it's expecting to much that the host has uploaded a podcast and some website maintainer has put it up.)

has Sink ever been remastered? I have an early Wax Trax and a later Thirsty Ear and now I see there is a 2007 Some Bizarre reissue, but no notes about remastering from the original 1989 version.
― sleeve, Monday, 5 October 2009 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't think it has ever been remastered. The 2007 version in the digipack is not a remaster although it has been described that way when mentioned collectively with the remastered versions of Hole and Nail.

JOHN JUSTEN if you are reading, I have now heard the cover of Shrunken Man and I am obsessed with it as it is *PHENOMENAL*

of course, reading the news yesterday that jim is to release a new album, hide, kind of got me in gear

there aren't many records that mean as much to me as hole and nail do. there's an element of intense personal expression that i don't really get from his subsequent work. in an interview years ago he said something along the lines of feeling like he was going to die in the course of making each of these albums, such was the effort he was putting in to them.

I was wondering about remasters and sound and stuff. Have wanted to get OKFM in decent sound for a while, I love the 3D intro section on that particular track. Subsequently wanted it in best possible sound.
Also would love a copy of Mother I Killed THe Cat. I had the single but every time I put it on tape the tape broke and I wondered if that was just coincidence.

Has anyone else noticed what feels like an unnaturally enormous number of used Foetus LPs out there in the world? I feel like I encounter Foetus as much as Carole King, or at least Poco.
― Clarke B., Sunday, 2 September 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link
you clearly have some interesting charity/used record shops as i have never ever come across any used foetus albums !
― mark e, Sunday, 2 September 2012 17:20 (eleven years ago) link
I have two Foetus related trivia questions of my own devising:
1. Which song by the Dickies is apparently sampled on which Foetus song? 2. What's the connections between Foetus and Phyllis Diller?
― everything, Sunday, 2 September 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link

hole - nail - thaw
best trilogy ever ?
i think so.
just given them all a spin tonight and to say i got the same blood rush as i did back upon their release would be an understatement.
unbelievable stuff given the studio restrictions of the day ..
― mark e, Sunday, 2 September 2012 19:54 (eleven years ago) link
Male is maybe the best live album ever recorded.
― passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Sunday, 2 September 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
i saw that tour
it was immense.
in london the support was gary clail and on-u sound.
which was perfect for me, but mad as a box of frogs for others.
and then when jim jumped into the moshpit and beat the living daylight out of one of the moshpit crew then the levels of intensity went up to a whole new level.
blood. violence. and elton john cover versions.
what more could you ask from a concert.
― mark e, Sunday, 2 September 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it was an awesome tour right enough.
I remember hearing the album for the first show in Prong's tour bus - Troy Gregory was unusually proud of it.
