Alga Marghen's vinyl pressings are so crackly and noisy, they have such incredible taste in artists but I have learned to hesitate before going in on one of their vinyl-only releases. Still impatiently holding out for them to out out those Eliane Radigue 60's pieces on CD or even just a download, for instance
132 page book, though...
Probably wont order, but if this shows up at Aquarius or Amoeba I might be helpless

I watched 'Deadly Harvest' a year or so back, 70s Canadian science fiction tv film about the world's food supplies failing from global cooling over the coarse of red years and the resulting small town food riots. I will watch any 70s science fiction film regardless of quality, but seeing John Mills-Cockell's pop up as the composer during the credits made me yell out loud. Score was cheesy with the occasional demented dissonance, there's a queue for a scene where the hero is driving his truck through abandoned cities for two minutes where the editing is so incoherent and the music is so over the top inappropriate, it becomes something worth seeing
I checked out the two Syrinx records once; way more traditional. Some odd electronic moments. Should listen again.

'Red years' / two years
Autocorrect changed a slightly misspelled attempt at 'cuddling' to the word 'fucking' on a friend of mine last night, our phones are getting so bored with us

i enjoy the syrinx records but have never felt they were...essential? good though and worth hearing.

xxp - uh, could you please edit/googleproof/remove the name of that place that is an underground venue? We're in "better to be safe than sorry" mode.

anyone get that box set? either on CD or vinyl? window is closing on whether or not to invest and I'm curious about how good that booklet is
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 4 February 2016 19:37 (eight years ago) link
i made an impulse purchase of the vinyl box but haven't opened it yet.

my friends at mystery train in amherst had one. couldn't resist. if i had never seen it in a store i never would have ordered it online.

waiting for a day when i can listen to/read the whole thing.

vinyl sounds excellent, to my relief after reading yr posts here, although there is maybe this teeny tiny weird surface noise in the background? they used a reel safety master for FPPI and maybe those artifacts are what I'm hearing. I did an A/B comparison with my original copy once but that's all I got right now. I never heard the Streamline CD.
Booklet is essential, if the only thing that was holding you back was pressing quality concerns I would go for it if booklet size is important to you. there's definitely a lot of full-page images and reproductions that seem like they would lose something in a CD booklet (I have not seen the CD box, though).

I'll try to add more about the book later tonight.
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Thursday, 4 February 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link
please do!
as a teenager I remember thinking I didn't even want to know more about Faust because it would ruin the music, and then the Wumme booklet & the 2006 CD liner notes for 'So Far' came out and the stories only made the music that much more amazing & I'm thinking it'd probably be much the same with this band

This was available on CD?

yeah, it's not listed on Discogs yet but a CD version was released after the vinyl:

Just checked, they have the CD on Amazon.

agreed, and there are a lot of color images in the book too! also a facsimile reprint of a smaller zine is included separately, and the otherwordly music speaks for itself

oh wow this is on apple music

they walk and walk and finally they walk right out of the city
this is the pastoral part of the story
they are walking in the plastic fields and they are young and happy
everywhere they look it is beautiful
