they're over-praised HERE!

the screen continues to present an impermeable barrier to me.

I'm British and none of those bands are much cop, and I do blame s1m0n r3yn01ds. Flying Saucer Attack, they're rubbish too.

FSA suck ass. What a fucking onetrick joke of a band

Nice article, Andrew U!

You know how these singles were even more fully ignored than the full-length, but that when compiled, these EPs make just as much of a classic album as Pop is

Yes, yes I do. ;-)

FSA suck ass.

It may have been a single trick, but it was a bloody good one.

if someone puts together an ep-compilation, could i get a copy, too?

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 12:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I am starting to think Ned has probably sent out more CD copies of the EPs than Disco Inferno sold in their lifetime.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 12:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm positive he has

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 12:35 (nineteen years ago) link

If Ned wants to deal with American requests for the EP compilation, I will happily deal with UK requests.

Okey dokey.

That's both cool and frightening if true.

The offer to burn still stands as always -- Scott Seward and another ILXor are on the to burn list. Thanks for Nick for offering to take care of the UK wing; I'm more than happy to accept requests from literally anywhere.

Rockness. And of course what's turned out to be the major DI thread on this site is here:

Disco Inferno: please help me out

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 14:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Nice article, Andrew U!

Thanks, Ned. I owe much of the article to you for introducing me to the five EP comp.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah, nice. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

These records aren't very immediate, to me; they are a little hard to grasp at first.

Moonshake's Eva Luna is very immediate, but then so is Technicolor to me and the title track is closer to Def Leppard than it is to britpo(o)p.

I wouldn't reccommend listening to Disco Inferno, say, in your car because it ends up sounding like a jumbled mess (or you could just turn it up really loud). I think if they wanted to be more successfull they should have put the vocals higher up in the mix (like Moonshake [except when the girl is singing and I spose they weren't much more 'successfull']).

i think maybe i listened to so much american post rock and other experimental music that this stuff seems, i dunno, too immediate. maybe there's a non-immediate immediacy that i need to wait for to get it?

If you drink Sunny Delight for years and years, that first sip of fresh-squeezed Valencia might well taste a little strange and off-putting.

Sim0n R3ynolds jock-ridin' ball-trippin' foolishness knows no political boundaries. That said I heard Hex once and it sounded kinda neat (can't remember anything though). A.R. Kane sounds like whales humping and I haven't heard Disco Inferno yet.

YOU EXTOL THE VIRTUES OF LIMP BIZKIT ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT YOU HAVE NOT HEARD DISCO INFERNO YET.

Unlike Alex in NYC, I will not damn thee out of hand. But e-mail me your address NOW, you punk. You're getting a CDR whether you like it or not.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 01:43 (nineteen years ago) link

shall I return the favor with the finest of droppings from Fred's Chocolate Starfish?

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 01:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Thank you no. That I have heard. I curse myself to this day.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

feh. No copy of The B-Boy With The Thorn In His Side for you.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned your Disco Inferno proselytizing knows no bounds. I applaud you sir (but quietly so that the neighbors in my building aren't anymore frightened of me than they already are from the weird loud musics and weird smelling curries).

two weeks pass...

I got the three albuns.

I really enjoyed disco inferno. Bark Psychosis is also good.

But AR Kane is just boring.

*enjoys A.R. Kane's 69 although he has heard people think it sounds like Cocteau Twins with something up their ass*

I will openly admit to actively disliking AR Kane. I had 69 and the Lolita EP and I recently traded both for some Ohio Express records and I feel like I got the better end of that deal by far.

Love Bark Psychosis and Disco Inferno is fine by me.

two years pass...

Really, really want to love Bark Psychosis but every time I listen to Hex the vocals remind me of this
