The West Coast LP (2006) had much, much shorter versions of Origin and Indo, and a longer version of Self Service.
West Coast 2LP (2007) are the same versions that are on Yearbook 1.
I'm DLing the 2006 version and will give it a listen tomorrow.

anyone know where i can find a copy of the No Comply 12"?

So, the biggest difference between the 2006 LP and the 2007 2LP is Self Service. The version on the 2006 LP is longer and has more of a baggy Stone Roses beat, riding a little bit more of a consistent groove, whereas the 2007 version is a bit more pop-song-structured, with the steel drums more prominent, calling a bit more attention to its different parts. Definately two completely different recordings. This song also falls into different slots in the track order on the two versions of the album. Love them both; the 2006 version would work better in a DJ set.
The 2006 version of Origin is really only the last two minutes of the 2007 version. The 2007 version is a re-recording of a song on their third 7", Shake You Down By the River, which is why it appears on Yearbook 1 as Origin (Shake You Down By the River). Yet the same version appears on the 2007 2LP as just Origin.
Indo is great on both versions, albeit 4 times as long on the 2007 version. The two sound like they could both be from the same recording.
As far as I can tell, Out There, West Coast, and Life's A Beach! are the same.
Like I said, confusing.
So, while Tim's take upthread is spot on, he was really listening to a different album than most of us are listening to now.

cutty do you have West Coast (2006) on vinyl or digitally?
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 August 2007 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
i think my favorite track so far is "west coast", but the whole album is good. i have the first release of the album on cd. can't decide whether to splurge on the re-press.
― tricky, Thursday, 9 August 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
i have mp3 rip off vinyls

so glad to see you repping strategy, cutty. that and radicalfashion are prolly my two favorite records of the year.

cutty looks like he's trying to make Jesus punch himself in the face. "why are you hitting yourself?" big brother style.

i miss my ygs

i can't believe i missed this thread before! this is so, so awesome.
― toby, Saturday, 11 August 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link
the thread or the record?

The posters on it.

^ that's actually my least favorite part :(
― jaxon, Saturday, 11 August 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link
the thread is kinda awesome for the enthusiasm - i read it at work in the morning and had to wait until last night to hear the record. but the record is really awesome.
― toby, Saturday, 11 August 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link
whenever it's on i just feel so relaxed and happy. i hope this effect continues.
― toby, Saturday, 11 August 2007 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link
i listened to this again. it's still good

I keep on meaning to recommend the band to Simon Reynolds - they remind me of a complaint he made last year about the post-punk revival, being that while everyone had cottoned on to the tense jerking disco-punk blast sound, so far few if anyone had revived the slower, eerie, beautiful side of post-punk, like the slow moments on Remain in Light.
― Tim F, Sunday, 12 August 2007 00:56 (sixteen years ago) link
They have a mix up at allez-allez.co.uk very much on their krautrocky side, slow, drifty and lots of arpeggios (soundtrack for new-age porno?), the shitty bitrate really hurts the more subtle stuff. I prefer the Matias Aguayo one below (amazing!)
― Alex xy, Sunday, 12 August 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Fantastic record.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 12 August 2007 19:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Christ, and here I was thinking that this is why I download things before buying them— this album just seems aggressively OK. Like, yeah, has Cure tones. Cure meets Banco de Gaia. Wind chimes? Again, this seems like OK music to just have on in the background, but I am totally not getting the "BEST ALBUM EVAR!"-ness of it.
― I eat cannibals, Sunday, 12 August 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm listening to the mix up at allez-allez.co.uk. this quote kinda bugs me.
rasmus has kindly supplied us with this week's session; 'the blue room mix part 1' is packed with beats and treats from the depths of his dusty crates - in fact so deep that the tracklisting must remain secret!
i've heard or own more than half the stuff on there.
kinda why i started this thread elitism, privacy, djs, blogs and "giving away stuff"
although, i really want to know who did the Riders on the Storm cover.
― jaxon, Monday, 13 August 2007 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link
and all the non-beardo/balearic, anglophiles that came onto this thread because of the cure and talk talk references, have you guys heard the A Mountain of One eps?
I'm a balearic beardless beardo anglophile but I have (despite my best efforts) not heard the A Mountain of One EPs yet.
― Tim F, Monday, 13 August 2007 22:44 (sixteen years ago) link
they're as good or better
― jaxon, Monday, 13 August 2007 22:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Eh, i'm kind of over them. The "cant be serious" cover is still gr8, but the rest of the material i'm just not feeling anymore. maybe i'll come back around.
― gr8080, Monday, 13 August 2007 22:49 (sixteen years ago) link
my ignored mountain of one thread
playing live next thursday in stepney.
feeling MoO waaay more than Studio or Map of shitty dadrock.
but Studio is a close second and MoA a distant third.

im stil deep into those amo1 EPs but i only listen to music when im stoned so what do i know
― max, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 02:43 (sixteen years ago) link
this album is terrific, too
and i probably would have liked it a few years ago before i got into dance music. i dont know that thats a compliment, though.
ok i re-listened and i guess its just "Innocent Line" that grates on me. its like two lyrics away from MOR Christian Rock.
the rest is grate!
― gr8080, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 02:45 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i usually skip innocent line and the reprise now, but i think the last 3 trax are killer. i like the first ep better tho i think, esp. cant be serious and freefall
― max, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 02:46 (sixteen years ago) link
This is AMO1's MySpace page, right? These songs are great!
I see why you mention them on this thread, sorta kinda.
