Oh God yes, love that Chic guitar on it.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 25 March 2005 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

That guitar part is outstanding.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 25 March 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, terrific Chic guitar, great bassline, dodgier-than-usual lyrics - all the elements seem to be in place. For me the parts don't make a whole in this case. Vinnie's mild objections match mine. I don't hate it; it's just underwhelming next to their other singles.

I actually prefer "Touched by the Hand of God": even better bass, breathy chorus.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 26 March 2005 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Touched By The Hand of God eats it for breakfast, yes. SOTN comes across as rather clumsy, I think.

And the video for TBTHOG...christ on a crutch is it wonderful.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 26 March 2005 00:44 (twenty-one years ago)

No mother fucking kidding. Saw it for the first time only a few weeks ago. Hilarious.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 26 March 2005 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

In other words everyone MUST have the Substance VHS today, only cost me a few bucks, even if you've seen all the other videos on it already, etc etc.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 26 March 2005 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I watch it *regularly*. The "State of the Nation" video is kind of throwaway, but I think the track is anything but!

whoops. oh well. sue me.

Oh you vicious criminal.

"Young Offender"

"Thieves Like Us"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

It's called YSI
and it's become
unmentionable

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

*listens* Okay, when the murky/grimy stuff kicks in around 40 seconds, that's when this sucker really takes off...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

It's perhaps a little too faithful. I was hoping for a popped up complete rework with the same energy as "10 Dollar" or "Some Girls".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

However, I'll save a full review until I have a better quality version.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

It's true, actually, that it becomes a straightforward enough take with new bells and whistles. But at the same time, it then reconfirms the wonder of the song itself. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

"Taking us back to...I'll put my money on 1989."

And you lose, Rob da Bank. Get one Google.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

Hey, he wins because he world premiered it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

Apparently there *is* a promo CD (so it won't just appear on vinyl).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

Hey, he wins because he world premiered it!

Yes, but I still want his money. I am greedy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Dude, he works for the BBC.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

Don't rob me of my joy!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

I.e. he has no money!

"Round and Round" is about twice as classic as I previously thought.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Saturday, 24 September 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

can someone please tell me what's the difference
between the verions of CEREMONY as mentioned
er, three years ago?

― piscesboy, Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

the 7" and original 12" recording by New Order is slower and a bit more raw sounding than the rerecorded version.

― biz, Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

..and Gill isn't on the original. It was rerecorded with Gill and became the 12" version (although a few were pressed later with the original instead). Most of the 12" out there are the second version. There is no correlation between the various 12" coloured sleeves and which version it is. I think I'm right that all the gold 7" are the original version. The only way to tell for sure are the timings - the first version is around 4.34 and the second is around 4.24.

The first version has never been available on CD, even though it is much the better of the two, but it will be included on Singles, due out in a couple of weeks.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 29 September 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

That Richard X remix is... GINCHY!

― biz, Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:10 (twenty years ago)

"GINCHY"??

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

i disagree that the first version of ceremony was the better of the two. I wanted to think that because I'd never heard it, but when I finally did, I was disappointed. it sounds like a demo at best; I even like the Still version more.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

I have to agree. I also like the Still version much more.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Ignore def #3.

― The Ghost of Gidget (Dan Perry), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Interesting. *strokes chin*

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

I *highly* recommend that YSI that biz posted!!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

whats so good about this excerpts thing?

― piscesboy, Thursday, 29 September 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

A bunch of rare (especially vinyl-only tracks).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

How is it you grow up in LA, Spencer, and at least not know of Gidget?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 29 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

I watched Gidget, but I do not remember this term.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

Someone will have to YSI this again later tonight so I can download it at a place that is not my office.

― Stuh-du-du-du-du-du-du-denka (jingleberries), Thursday, 29 September 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

richard x in not very good remix shocker.

― piscesboy, Thursday, 29 September 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

That would be a shocker.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

...As he's basically a genius and has about a 90% CLASSIC rate.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

i'd say Richard X is more like a different producer of the orignal track rather than a remixer. his work is more like slightly beefed up, slightly techier versions of the orginal song he's mixing. he's a "reproducer", rather than a "remixer" in my opinion.

have you guys heard the mix of Everything's Gone Green on the 7"s? it's fantastic!!!

i can gmail but don't have time to upload to YSI. I've got all 3 7"s recorded and mp3'd. only 3 of the 6 tracks are worth having.

― biz, Thursday, 29 September 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

biz, if you could shoot off copies of what you have to [email protected], I'd be most appreciative...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 29 September 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

on EGG, bernard's vocals sound like a different take but not a new recording. very interesting.
