I came to know the band through their Domino stuff, loved it, and checked out the early stuff. Which hit me so hard that I haven't had much use for the Domino stuff ever since; with the exception of some odd tracks (the Home is Where it Hurts EP is brilliant). So yeah, I'm more interested in a companion box compiling the old stuff, including leftover goodies.

These guys were involved in Remote Viewer as well, right? Was into the first RV album in college.

both the RV guys were in Hood at one point but their main other thing was Famous Boyfriend

Sebastian, do you own the Singles Compiled cd's? Hood recently placed a message on their website that they found some more copies (it's been OOP for some years now) and they are indeed dead cheap, as they put it. A steal, and a mighty good one imo.

@Le Bateau Ivre: yeah, I own those two (and love them dearly). I own everything by the band, except Structured Disasters, which I think is the perfect mix of old and new Hood. Impossible to find in hard copy though. Last time I saw it on eBay it sold for way above $100.

"Useless" is actually my least favourite track from the Domino years.

But by 06/12/11 it won't be a "pre-order".

Been enjoying the dip back into all these -- will be reviewing the box set for Pitchfork.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
I look forward to that read, Ned. I'm still hoping for a separate pressing of The Hood Tapes. Seems a bit much to invest in the entire set when I already own everything else.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 20:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
Looking forward to that too, Ned, very much!
I agree with Doug Watson though, I won't shell out for this because I own everything apart from the Hood Tapes already. The singles and compilations compiled from some years ago were brilliant.

hood tapes isn't essential; let me know if you really need to hear it.
― akm, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 03:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
I've an "unofficial" version of the 2005 CDR but apparently the boxset version is expanded. They should just bandcamp the thing.
― doug watson, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 13:41 (1 year ago) Permalink
@hoodmusic tweeted earlier something along the lines of "apparently we're reissuing Cold House on vinyl soon". Domino website says the box will be in shops in March- maybe there'll be a download of the Tapes then. I'd like a legit download of Useless.

When I'd read about a deluxe edition of Cold House, I'd interpreted it as an expanded CD set. I'll be sad if it's only some 180g vinyl version.

‘Cold House’ is repressed for the first time in a ltd edition of 500 for the world as a double gatefold lp cut at 45 rpm for maximum audiophile pleasure and also comes with exclusive liner notes to the vinyl edition and download codes.

A great review here: http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16821/reviews/4144509

Kinda annoyed that I pre-ordered this from the label and paid £24 only to find that it's £15 in both Boomkat and Norman Records this week.
― Super Receptor (Barnaby, Hardly), Friday, 17 February 2012 10:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
that's my review fyi, thx mayne
£15 for the whole box?? or are you talking about 'Cold House' on vinyl
(press release said RRP of £50 for the box but I couldn't find anywhere actually selling it for that much)
― Sylv_ebanks (DJ Mencap), Friday, 17 February 2012 11:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
Ah, sorry, I was talking about the Cold House reissue.
― Super Receptor (Barnaby, Hardly), Friday, 17 February 2012 12:38 (1 year ago) Permalink
ha, it seemed implausibly cheap but £24 seems wildly expensive for vinyl that isn't private press so there you go
