Which follows, they have the rights to Creation and all. Well well.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 March 2004 02:51 (twenty years ago) link

this has been up on siren disc for about a week now. it doesn't have their cover of map ref on it!

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Thursday, 18 March 2004 02:51 (twenty years ago) link

Well, that's from after they left Creation, so I'm not surprised. To be totally complete they'd also need "We Have All the Time In the World" on there and that too was done after they left for Island.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 March 2004 02:52 (twenty years ago) link

Also, all this stuff is pre-Loveless. I'm completely satisfied with the track selection. It is an awesome collection of music and an essential release for anyone without these EPs.

update from mybloodyvalentine.net

Update: March 23. This release has been postponed, problably due to the fact that apparently Kevin just got the masters from Island. No new release date has been set.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 25 March 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago) link

Ha ha!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 25 March 2004 02:00 (twenty years ago) link

masters? from Island? que? what the hell were they doing with them?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 25 March 2004 02:02 (twenty years ago) link

MBV did sign with Island for a huge advance, some of it probably went to Creation to help bail them out due costs incurred making "Loveless" - losing the master tapes would have been part of the deal - Remember when Creation released a best of, it wasn't able to obtain any MBV songs.

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Thursday, 25 March 2004 02:11 (twenty years ago) link

oh ok

cardboard is very expensive in japoan now. the fine for stealing from recyling centers is like $2000. china is buying all of the cardboard in japan.

THIS CHINESE CARDBOARD SUPER GUN WILL KILL US ALL

― don weiner, Thursday, 25 March 2004 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

two unreleased songs from 'isnt anything'?
*faints*

― zappi (joni), Thursday, 25 March 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

Stop the presses! The release of an MBV album has been delayed!

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 25 March 2004 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

"No it's not, it's all real they're really doing it!"

Haha.

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Thursday, 25 March 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I must say: this latest development kind of amuses me.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:33 (twenty years ago) link

It is hilarious and perfect.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:44 (twenty years ago) link

And it does mean that I can wait and save up a little more spare cash for it = hurrah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 March 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

I just ordered this from amazon.com! We'll see how long it takes for them to send me a notice along the lines of "the release date for this item has been delayed indefinitely..."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 06:11 (twenty years ago) link

it said, "ships in 2 to 3 days". sure....

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 06:12 (twenty years ago) link

We place our faith in you.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 14:27 (twenty years ago) link

The next My Bloody Valentine album (or compilation) will be released sometime beetween the next Syd Barret album and the Armagheddon.

― francesco, Wednesday, 28 April 2004 15:42 (twenty years ago) link

That interview linked to a few posts upthread was interesting, but what really caught my attention was:

In Britain there was a big drum-n-bass movement and that was the last thing I got really into. I got really *really* into it at one point...we were programming all this drum-n-bass music...

Anyone have any idea if the drum + bass stuff Shields implys he worked on might have gotten released?

― Graeme (Graeme), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

Probably not, but if you want to hear DnB MBV, just buy Third Eye Foundation's "Semtex".
It even came out around the same time Kevin was working on his DnB stuff.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

Perhaps I should've changed 'gotten released' to 'seen the light of day in any form.'

Third Eye Foundation, eh? Will give it a listen (although Mogwai comparisons / connections have always made me steer clear in the past).

― Graeme (Graeme), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

shields mentioned he was experimenting with DnB in a mid-90s interview that i read. i long since gave up hope of ever hearing this tho'.

― zebedee (zebedee), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

There's a bit of a rhythmic drum'n'bass feel to that MBV Arkestra remix of Primal Scream's 'If They Move, Kill 'Em' that came out back in '98. First fruits of Shields' work with the Scream - or, indeed, anyone for a good few years - if I remember rightly. I thought that record was amazing at the time, but I've just dug it out and to be honest it sounds pretty ordinary.

― Jason J, Wednesday, 28 April 2004 20:24 (twenty years ago) link

third eye foundation don't sound anything like mogwai, so don't let that frighten you off.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 20:25 (twenty years ago) link

Third Eye Foundation, eh? Will give it a listen

The first track on Semtex is indeed exactly what I imagined/hoped MBV-n-B would sound like.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 20:26 (twenty years ago) link

is that "sleep"? that song slays me

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 23:27 (twenty years ago) link

CD Japan now lists this as being "cancelled"

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:38 (twenty years ago) link

its never coming out. though i got some cdrs and its fab. kevin's obsession with sound quality y'all.

― doomie x, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

big surprise

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:25 (twenty years ago) link

pathetic fat stoner

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

er, perhaps harsh

but god help the guy if this continued on-again off-again bollocks with regards the reissues isn't doing his legacy some significant damage.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:37 (twenty years ago) link

Er? I think the legacy is stronger than ever!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:46 (twenty years ago) link

Ned speaks the truth - being willfully obscure, increasing the rarity of a catalog, etc., when coupled with critical adulation all increase the clamor/glamor surrounding any so-called "genius".

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 23:49 (twenty years ago) link

oh come on, like this whole compilation/no compilation, box set/no box set garbage isn't putting people off? it's certainly pushing me to the point of not caring.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:02 (twenty years ago) link

But how many bands and folks are around these days that know their MBV? Plenty, just look at the Air and Fennesz albums from this year for two of the higher profile examples. I don't care if he lurks quietly in a corner the rest of this year or whatever he prefers to do.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago) link

i do feel like my point is being missed.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

Well, there's always this..

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:47 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, "QVC" as in the U.S. cable tv shopping network

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:47 (twenty years ago) link

It bothers me a little when people rip on Shields for being lazy or whatever. He enriched my life in a big way by making a couple incredible records -- what right do I have to expect anything more from him?

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 00:53 (twenty years ago) link

now i know my point is being missed.

generally people never hassled brian wilson for not releasing smile, right? would the situation be different if at various points over the years he promised to release it? was known to be working further on it? and then pull it at the eleventh hour? and then repeat the process?

maybe nobody has a "right" to expect anything of the guy, but he's obviously broken promises to somebody. new release information doesn't turn up on hmv's website by magic.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 01:02 (twenty years ago) link

I concur with Jim. I think Kevin's being a bit precious about all this. Theyre just songs FFS and I say that as a big MBV fan myself. I already have most of whats on that tracklisting anyway (inc Instrumental #1 and some other snippet of stuff which has no name... no idea what it is) so why would I be jumping up and down about a few songs?

Remember the Stone Roses, people (ok maybe not a great analogy but you get my gist).
