it was a pressing of one copy! they did one test pressing (which i have) but they messed it up and missed off the arthur russell track. i waited and waited for them to do another test pressing but that was the last i ever heard about it. sadly i am almost certain it will never see the light of day now. i keep meaning to change the info on the website. in fact, i'll go and do that now.

One day I will make it up there for Optimo! I'm not saying it wasn't good when I saw you in Brighton, but I'd like the full expereience.

God, I envy you people that live in the part of the world that gets Optimo with any regularity (translation: PLEASE TO BE PLAYING IN LOS ANGELES).

think of all the ILM people who wish they were in glasgow. if you're not going to do it for them at least do it to make them jealous.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:25 (twenty years ago)

I regret it while I'm young!

we'll be ten years old then (if we last that long!). seems a good age to bow out on.

coo ur gosh etc. but aye, always quit while you're ahead/leave them wanting more/etc.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Wow. I need to make it back to Optimo within 97 weeks! Anyone who hasn't been: get thee to Glasgow now.

And have a (gigantic) falafel at the shop around the corner for me.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

well I probably won't make it to glasgow in the next 97 weeks but I'll definitely be at don hill's in nyc next month .... I went to the glass house gallery optimo in brooklyn last year and it was great.

― Renard (Renard), Thursday, 12 January 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

whats the last track on the optimo fergie mix?

― fez, Saturday, 8 April 2006 12:46 (twenty years ago)

it's by the lift boys aka yamatsuka eye from the boredoms. the best i can decipher the title from the artwork is 'liftvoyzzz'

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:22 (twenty years ago)

I just got that 12"...but there's 2 songs on that side! What a fantastic record though.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 8 April 2006 13:51 (twenty years ago)

i know but 'liftvoyzz' is all it say on the label so i guess they are both called that!

my copies of walkabout (mix CD and 12") are due to turn up today. am drumming my fingers on the desk in anticipation.

― haitch, Sunday, 13 May 2007 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

woah twitch even has psychedelic record storage!

― tricky, Monday, 14 May 2007 03:41 (nineteen years ago)

hoo boy what a mix! suicide sound even more menacing than usual coming out of all that buzzy noise from the godsy track.

― haitch, Monday, 14 May 2007 06:06 (nineteen years ago)

psychedelic record storage built by jed.

― stirmonster, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm loving that Optimo mix too, particularly the "car sick" track, and the Boris one is fantastic too.

eleven months pass...

the space odyssey mix is an amazing hilarious delight.

― s1ocki, Saturday, 10 May 2008 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

glad you enjoyed it. the night we did based around "2001 : a space odyssey" was completely hilarious. they don't show up too clearly in this photo but we had a load of HALs custom made. also note monolith hanging from the roof. :-)

omg wish i coulda been there.

i love the way the space odyssey mix just keeps going... the first time i listened to it i kept thinking "ah what a perfect way for this to end" (like the close encounters music, thus sprach zarathustra etc)... but when telstar came on it warmed my heart.

― s1ocki, Saturday, 10 May 2008 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

Mix? Hrm?
