What with this lot, the MBV stuff, and then World Dom in the pipeline, surely the God reissues can't be far behind.

The bonus track pairings with the original album tracks are so odd! However, I'm not complaining and look forward to hearing everything (although I may play them in different order). Also, "Arc-Lite (Radiated)" is AWESOME.

heaven's end and fade out reissues sound great
― eman, Monday, 22 December 2008 03:13 (seventeen years ago)
esp. the guitar loop tracks on fade out disc 2
― eman, Monday, 22 December 2008 03:14 (seventeen years ago)
Super wanting. Esp Gilded Eternity.

Apparently we'll have to wait till Feb/March or thereabouts for them though. At least, that's the last I heard.
― krakow, Monday, 22 December 2008 08:16 (seventeen years ago)
Any further info on A Gilded Eternity or The World In Your Eyes? Love the first two reissues...
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 1 March 2009 22:02 (seventeen years ago)
Looks like February slipped into March. Here's hoping they appear this month.

Why has Louis never heard Loop before?

Oh my god, are you kidding? I was going nuts over Arc-Light at the gym last week. I decided to listen to them on my run right after Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and it worked great. Loop forever!
― Music Is Sex For Your Ears (Bimble), Saturday, 28 March 2009 16:32 (seventeen years ago)
Collision, Arc-Light, Black Sun, Thief of Fire (Motherfucker) - all these are Grade A wig-shakers.

Pfunk, would you say they were harbingers of stoner metal?
― Music Is Sex For Your Ears (Bimble), Saturday, 28 March 2009 20:04 (seventeen years ago)
no

Amazon is listing May 26th for the reissues of A Gilded Eternity and The World In Your Eyes. Whoo-hoo!

I have the sudden urge to hear the title track to Fade Out. I think that's the riff that's in my head anyway...we shall see.
― Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Sunday, 19 April 2009 15:22 (seventeen years ago)
Yep, title track to Fade Out, this is it. Oh yeaaaah maaaaaaaan.
― Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Sunday, 19 April 2009 15:24 (seventeen years ago)
This Tuesday.

Four days to go...
I'll be at my local record store at 9am with money in hand; so excited!
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 20 June 2009 02:18 (seventeen years ago)
I broke down and ordered all four reissues from Aquarius, cannot wait for that package to show up!
― the sideburns are album-specific (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 22 June 2009 17:32 (sixteen years ago)
The first two are fucking great. Will be picking up the new ones this week as well.
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Monday, 22 June 2009 18:15 (sixteen years ago)
ARRRGH. Just got an e-mail from Aquarius, they're out of one of the first two reissues from last year, so now I have to wait until that comes back in to hear any of this stuff. Dammit! I've also got the new Dino Jr and the new Wooden Shjips in that order.

Bugger! The reissue of A Gilded Eternity didn't make it to Maine. Was anyone else able to get a copy?
However, The World In Your Eyes did make it, and is absolutely fabulous despite lacking in information (just tracklisting and recording dates; what ever happened to liner notes?).
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 14:56 (sixteen years ago)
How does "Collision" sound??? Hampson said he could not locate the masters but said it sounds better anyway.
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 19:28 (sixteen years ago)
"Collision"sounds great; whatever source he was able to use must have been good. No obvious difference between it and the other tracks, at least through my stereo speakers. Might notice something listening later on headphones.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 19:34 (sixteen years ago)
'Collision' is the one song I'm *really* looking forward to hearing again after selling the vinyl years ago.
― Enemy Insects (NickB), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:23 (sixteen years ago)
One of the great EPs of the late 80s.
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:33 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah sure, 'Thief of Fire' etc. What a great format the EP was back then - AR Kane, Band of Susans, Loop, MBV...
― Enemy Insects (NickB), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:46 (sixteen years ago)
Bugger! The reissue of A Gilded Eternity didn't make it to Maine.
Same goes for Texas...
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 24 June 2009 15:57 (sixteen years ago)
I'm thinking it just didn't come out Sateside. Hope the delay is short.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 June 2009 16:18 (sixteen years ago)
I think it's on Reactor like the other three... I think just delayed?
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 25 June 2009 03:35 (sixteen years ago)
I ordered them both from Aquarius and got an e-mail that they had both set aside for me, they were actually just waiting for one of the older reissues to get back in to send my order out. So apparently a few places got it.

Heard Fade Out for the first time yesterday and holy shit its good.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 25 June 2009 13:55 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, that's the one to get, I reckon.
― Enemy Insects (NickB), Thursday, 25 June 2009 14:03 (sixteen years ago)
I reckon you need them all. Really.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 25 June 2009 14:08 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, probably. Saw them on the Fade Out tour and it was all long-hair and loudness, thick smoke and strobes, and then those guitars just flailing out and ripping holes in the fog. Good times.
― Enemy Insects (NickB), Thursday, 25 June 2009 14:11 (sixteen years ago)
That sounds awesome. Sadly, I never got to see them, living in the sticks of the States when they were a going concern.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 25 June 2009 14:31 (sixteen years ago)
ATP or someone else with some influence needs to get a Loop reunion going...
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 25 June 2009 15:03 (sixteen years ago)
How the FUCK have I never heard their version of Mother Sky before?
Just ... wow.
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 28 June 2009 18:01 (sixteen years ago)
Actually, the better question is: how the fuck have I listened to so little Loop at all? One of those terrible teenage oversights that I've never quite made up for. I should try harder, I guess.
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 28 June 2009 18:22 (sixteen years ago)
you've got a lot of things you've done wrong lately, grimly!
