West Coast + AMO1 Remix + Kylie Remix = they are kind of the best band in the world at the moment.
― Tim F, Friday, 7 December 2007 23:43 (5 years ago) Permalink
Has anyone produced a decent edit of Out There yet (quantized, a little more DJ-friendly structure, and a bit higher tempo)? Not looking for a complete remix or overhaul just something workable.

i got "west coast" at rasputin for around $15 but i'm sorta bummed about it because finney makes it sound like "yearbook 1" is more essential
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 7 December 2007 23:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
yeah i'd like to know how hard i should try and find yearbook 1. is it actually better than west coast?? i guess essential is a good word.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 7 December 2007 23:52 (5 years ago) Permalink
and i'm sorta bummed because finney makes the long version of "self service" sound very u+k. maybe they will release a single comp type thing for the US market? "no comply" + long version of "self service" + early service EPs + "east side" + brennan green / lindstrom / prins thomas remixes, please?

what if studio did a dj kicks, i bet it would be awesome
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 7 December 2007 23:59 (5 years ago) Permalink
the 2007 version has the shorter version of "self service" both are great
― gr8080, Saturday, 8 December 2007 00:05 (5 years ago) Permalink
Vahid you can be happy with West Coast I think - "No Comply" and "Radio Edit" are actually the weakest tracks on Yearbook I (although oddly they occupy opposite ends of the Studio spectrum - the former being their most compressed pop and the latter being their most formless and spacey). If Yearbook I actually had the long version of "Self Service" on it it might be more U&K.
The short version of "Self Service" is great anyway, just not quite as... I will post the long version of "Self Service" here for people who've missed out a bit later on.
BTW yes a Studio DJ Kicks would be great.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 December 2007 00:09 (5 years ago) Permalink
still loving this.
blatant rip-off of The Doors' 'Peacefrog' with the guitar at the end of 'Self Service' though.
― Michael B, Saturday, 8 December 2007 00:12 (5 years ago) Permalink
While I don’t disagree No Comply and Radio Edit are the weakest tunes on Yearbook 1 both are still fantastic. Radio Edit especially.
― Mr. Goodman, Saturday, 8 December 2007 00:13 (5 years ago) Permalink
just heard "radio edit", might be my fav thing by them.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 8 December 2007 01:19 (5 years ago) Permalink
no comply's weird, too - it was the only real obstacle to liking the group when i first heard it, as i didn't especially like the song at first listen and figured the rest was probably similar - but it's only really the first couple minutes that brings it down, and i like the second half of the song as much as about anything from the more song-y sections of the album. though i suppose that could be down to boredom through familiarity, cause i usually skipped the track when the record started to grow on me

West Coast/Yearbook 1 = what I wanted Appliance to sound like all the time.

Some thoughts re recent Studio remixes (Kylie, Love Is All, Williams, A Mountain of One):
Interesting how all of these fit much more cleanly into prevailing tide of Balearic revivalism than their actual album does - they sound more enamoured of the disco beat on these remixes, and more distant from post-punk or baggy rhythms.
I wonder if this stronger disco infatuation will carry through to their future work.
The lack of a need to tie their wanderings down to one of their own songs also makes them both more expansive and wispy (longer sections where the grooves just wander around on 4X4 propulsion and sparing bass and background strings and echo and flashes of incadescent spanish guitar, without the need to fit into some overarching theme) and more obvious and cheesy (said effects are introduced simply because they sound good).
Like, the point halfway through the "Love on a Real Train" where sudden cut-up snippets of vocals drift in and the whole arrangement seems to bubble over.... brilliant.
The "Turn The Radio Off" remix is even cheesier: the middle-section with the "eh eh eh eh eh" background vocal and the lead vocal comes in is totally Ibiza in the mid-90s sense as much as the 1987 or 2007 sense.
― Tim F, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:31 (5 years ago) Permalink
i dont have anything to add to that except to say the bass on the love is a real train just blows my mind. one of those things that, when it comes on, you cant concentrate on anything else.

that tshirt is out of print. of course. (i was looking at it too and thought about spending 25 pounds for a second) these guys are really kind of aesthetically perfect aren't they? it actually sort of bothered me at first.

williams 12" comes on white vinyl. the non-studio remake is quite good but the studio version rules all.

i found their early stuff on the internets (2001 - 2002) and damn, they got really good over that 4 year span. origin (shake u down by the river) is the only thing that lasted from that period.
