The music on that Sally Oldfield sounds like it could be Goblin! The initial riff sounds like something off the Deep Red soundtrack. (No great surprise I guess since they copped a good bit've their act from her bro in the first place).

Steve - it's sold out, as far as I can tell. There might be a very limited number of tickets available on the door and someone else who's going with us might have one spare but otherwise looks a bit late.
I'm not sure how special or secret those Special Secret Guests would have to be to get me staying past 7.30, mind.

I guess I hoped it might be Glass Candy, but apparently there were some issues getting them to come on this tour (which was supposed to be the plan originally, I heard).

The special guests are someone DJing somewhere else in London on that night, or so I read.

Looks like Yearbook 2 will be a collection of their 'Versions'.

Just got this from Bengans:
129:- (EXKL. FRAKT 29:-) RELEASE 28/5
Med sin debut "Yearbook 1" 2007 satte Dan Lissvik och Rasmus Hägg aka. Studio sitt namn ordentligt på världskartan. Hyllningar över hela världen och utsålda konserter följde denna minst sagt stil och banbrytande duo från Göteborg. Inte minst var bandet ett hett namn på remixmarknaden och "Yearbook 2" väver samman dessa mixar som tidigare ej funnits tillängliga på CD. Och det är inga smånamn som Studio kan lägga på sin remix-merit lista. Shout Out Louds, A Mountain Of One, Tangerine Dream och till och med självaste Kylie Minogue.
In english
The new album from swedish remix-masters Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg aka Studio is soon to be released. If you liked Yearbook 1, you will not be disappointed with this!
Tracklist: A Mountain Of One - Brown piano (remake by Studio) Shout Out Louds - Impossible (possible remake by Studio) Love Is All - Turn the radio off (remake by Studio) Rubies - Room without a key (version by Studio) Brennan Green - Escape from chinatown (version by Studio) Kylie Minogue - 2 hearts (version by Studio) Williams/Tangerine Dream - Love on a real train (version by Studio)

from factmagazine:
Gothenburg-based duo Studio will release Yearbook 2, a compilation of their remixes, on June 16 through independent label Information. The follow-up to 2007's glorious West Coast (one of both FACT and Rough Trade's top 10 albums of the year) consists of 7 reversions (they're more like epic Balearic dubs) that Rasmus Hagg and Dan Lissvik previously created for the likes of Kylie, Love Is All, A Mountain of One and all-girl trio Rubies. Described by us, among others, as the missing link betweeen The Cure, Manuel Gottsching and LCD Soundsystem, produced by Martin Hannett, Studio had planned to release their second artist album this summer. However, the pair have scrapped tracks they were working on and are now planning to take a live band into the studio with them this autumn. The resulting LP is expected in early 2009. For now, at least, there's Yearbook 2...

not sure what to expect with a live band, tho -- don't want to be reactionary hater, but i'd rather not see them try to break into the indie scene, & they're hardly shying away from it judging from their choice in bands to remix
― lucas pine, Friday, 16 May 2008 20:58 (5 years ago) Permalink
there's some videos on youtube of the studio palooza tour from last year. maybe this is a taste of things to come. light show~!

― uncannydan, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:31 (5 years ago) Permalink
I would much rather see them with a live band than behind laptops to be honest. The thing that's so great about West Coast is how they've made something so carefully constructed, so precisely sculpted, feel so organic and loose. But I'm not sure that approach would translate to the stage - full band all the way for me.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:49 (5 years ago) Permalink
how much of the stuff on the last album was live?
― max, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Ah right, you're talking about the second record. Not sure it would make a huge difference to the end product, except maybe the beats, presumably they can afford to hire session musicians this time around.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
"not sure what to expect with a live band, tho -- don't want to be reactionary hater, but i'd rather not see them try to break into the indie scene, & they're hardly shying away from it judging from their choice in bands to remix"
Although interestingly their remixes are by and large less indie sounding than the album - or at least more obviously enamoured with disco and sans wailing vocals.
Otherwise I get where you're coming from. I guess it depends on how they do it. I'm hoping that live band doesn't = live studio performance, because what's clear from both the first album and the remixes is how much of the magic of their work comes from the editing and overdubbing process.
But I suspect what "live band" means is: a lot of recording of session musicians and then editing/overdubbing everything into one piece.
― Tim F, Saturday, 17 May 2008 00:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
"their choice in bands to remix" = the bands that are offering them cash. It's not like they're phoning up Love is All and begging to remix them. That's not how it goes.
― Raw Patrick, Saturday, 17 May 2008 01:37 (5 years ago) Permalink
it's not a criticism, patrick! but they're pretty hot right now - yearbook 1 / west coast got into plenty year end lists, they're remixing kylie minogue, and they're balearic's ambassador to the ilx-crit world - so yeah, i think they do get some choice so far as who they want to remix

Ask them why I didn't cross reference West Coast with Yearbook 1 before I bought both only to discover the latter's got all of the former.

Their rework of AMO1's "Brown Piano" is quite good.

none of the Y2 tracks reach the heights of 'out there' or 'west coast' but this is still one of the best releases of the year.

― cutty, Monday, 23 June 2008 14:40 (4 years ago) Permalink
Actually I'd probably rate the "2 Hearts" remix about as high as "West Side" maybe. Hard to say.
― Tim F, Monday, 23 June 2008 14:44 (4 years ago) Permalink
But it sounds more like Studio than it sounds like Kylie or Love Is All. On first listen I thought I might prefer it to YB1, but I'll think about that for a while. It's possible that I just prefer other singing to their singing.
I'm probably reading too much into things, but on the sleeve different tracks are described as 'versions', 'remixes' and 'remakes' - does this mean they might have actually re-recorded the songs themselves rather than working with original tracks?
