would the new album benefit from having the fab 'Initiation' included on it? they usually include tracks that have been bandying around elsewhere on the album e.g. 'The Saint' on the (US?) version of 'In Sides', 'Dr ?' on 'The Altogether'

I think we all agree that when the album is ripped to slsk then someone will post here and inform the others?

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 29 April 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a remix of Initiation on the promo I've got (different from the one on the Octane soundtrack), but apparently it's been cut from the final version of the album...

you do all know it's been on slsk for a couple of days, right? right??

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 30 April 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

*checks* Mr. Barry, add me as a friend or something (NedAR) and I will thank you.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

(Cause right now it shows that you ain't online for me)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, I disconnected myself by mistake ... now I'm back online.
(you're added to my list Ned)

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 30 April 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Thankee. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a brilliant thread, just about laughed my arse off.
It's not so easy for me to download whole albums. I'd like to know if this is coming out in the U.S.

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Also thanks for recommending "Wolf Flow", Ned. I never got that one before.

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 02:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoops wrong thread. Sorry.

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Still works! Anyway, MUCH thanks to Barry, I now have the album and will indulge. :-) Dan, before you wrench my head off in protest, I will share it over the weekend.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

*nearly finished listening to it* No, Dan won't like this album at all. Oh no no no no no. Nope. He'll hate this as much as he'll hate the new Cure, I'm sure.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish the Cure would just break up.

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 04:02 (twenty-two years ago)

That will be hard to do.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 04:03 (twenty-two years ago)

HA HA HA Neil Sadaka!

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

btw i guess i really meant "at least a couple of days" - i looked as soon as matt said

It's not on Slsk. Ner.

and found it but didn't want to spoil matt's fun. aren't i nice?

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 30 April 2004 05:37 (twenty-two years ago)

NB: the 'impact' live versh everyone's (rightly) loving on -- did that ever make it to CD? what i have is a really naff tape that came free w/ select in 1994. but 'impact' (from glasto i think) is just the best 10 minutes ever.

― ENRIQUE (Enrique), Friday, 30 April 2004 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The version I have came on a bonus disc with In Sides.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 30 April 2004 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Look what happens when I spend the night asleep. I shall SLSK furiously when I get home.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Friday, 30 April 2004 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Toby, I Want to shake you like a Polaroid picture (of a baby).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 30 April 2004 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry dan. when i didn't post i forgot i was going to be offline all day yesterday... it just seemed a pity to deprive matt of his fun.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 30 April 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Toby I kiss you.

I'm not sure where I stand on this album in general - it's not as good as Brown-Sniv-Insides-MoN but its still a pretty good record. It's very Perry-Raggett though - dark and gothic and progged out.

The only one I'm not sure about is One Perfect Sunrise, although the beat just screams "WE ARE GOING TO MIX YOUR BIG GAY TRANCE ARSE INTO CHIME AT GLASTONBURY!" and that will pretty much win me over, I think.

And the Sparks vocals in Acid Pants are really starting to fuck me off - the "when the laugh track starts..." sample is used way too regularly and just gets in the way - as an instrumental it would be absolutely unstoppable (and I here cheeky references to both Remind and Walk Now in the acid lines every so often).

But the string buildup in Transient is great, and I still reckon You Lot stands up there with anything they've ever released, the beatless section in the middle with the speech is absolutely gorgeous and when it all kicks in it's just like "you can do THIS why on earth did you fanny around with crap like Waving Not Drowning?!"

Aw, that makes the song for me! (Keep in mind I'm a Sparks fanatic, so.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCK YEAH.

I LOVE YOU, SOULSEEK.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 1 May 2004 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a lot of acid in these pants.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 1 May 2004 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I want a t-shirt. I used to have one, many years ago.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 1 May 2004 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This album kills "The Altogether".
It's not as good as "MON".
Thankfully, they've ditched (most of) the raver-kid tendencies that "The Altogether" had in far too much abundance.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 1 May 2004 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm just about to have a proper sit down with it, rather than just grabbing little bits here and there.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 1 May 2004 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Is the speech in "You Lot" Ron Dixon???

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 1 May 2004 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

ehehehehe...

It's Christopher Eccleston from the 'Second Coming' TV programme from last year. I think someone's already identified it upthread.

This is far from being their best album, but by George it's still fucking brilliant. Better than the last two (proper) albums, I'd say.

I think part of the reason it's so good is because it reminds you of just about every phase of their career at one point or another.

Orbital are the best band ever, period. Fuck the expense. Tomorrow I shall sort out going to the Brixton gig. Anyone else up for it?

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Saturday, 1 May 2004 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I just wanted to say I hate you all.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 1 May 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Ditto.

― bimble (bimble), Saturday, 1 May 2004 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Never mind, I no longer hate you guys!

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 1 May 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I am currently trying to figure out how I can turn "Acid Pants" into a hat.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 1 May 2004 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

this is their last album¡¡¡¡ i've just relized this.
oh fuk¡ i feel like i've just been dumped.

― dyson (dyson), Saturday, 1 May 2004 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, I'm on slsk now. Who's going to help me get to the front of the queue?

Spot on.

Never mind, I no longer hate you guys!

Oh good. If it wasn't me, I thank whatever kind soul assisted!

Okay, I'm on slsk now. Who's going to help me get to the front of the queue?

Who are you on slsk? (My handle is listed above.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 2 May 2004 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, I don't even know what my handle is. I've just started using this program, I usually use other programs. How am I supposed to hook up with you on this thing? I've only got three songs so far.

― bimble (bimble), Sunday, 2 May 2004 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I'm not sure I'll need your help anyway. I just have to have patience, here. I will say this, though slsk is a lot faster than the other programs I've been using. Wow.

I listened to Acid Pants. Really sounds like they're trying to recreate Satan in a way. Surprisingly it does sound like the first album to these ears.

― bimble (bimble), Sunday, 2 May 2004 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a shame that "Initiation" and, especially, "What Happens Next" aren't going to be on the final thing according to the track listing at www.loopz.co.uk. "Technologicque Park" ought to be on there too. Fuck it, everything ought to be on there.

My SLSK username is the bit of my email address before the @ sign.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 May 2004 05:53 (twenty-two years ago)

So essentially there are three tracklistings floating around at the moment.

www.loopz.co.uk (the official site) says it's this;

1. Transient
2. Pants
3. Tunnel Vision
4. Lost
5. You Lot
6. Bath Time
7. Acid Pants
8. Easy Serv
9. One Perfect Sunrise

The version I downloaded is like this;

1. Transient
2. Acid Pants
3. You Lot
4. Pants
5. Lost
6. Initiation
7. Bath Time
8. Easy Serve
9. What Happens Next
10. Tunnel Vision
11. One Perfect Sunrise

And the version Matt has on CD has those tracks but in a different order, which I think must be summat like this;

1. Transient
2. Pants
3. Tunnel Vision
4. Lost
5. You Lot
6. Bath Time
7. Acid Pants
8. Easy Serve
9. Initiation
10. What Happens Next
11. One Perfect Sunrise

Can you tell how excited I am?

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 May 2004 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

WHY THE FUCK IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT NOT ON THE ALBUM?!

One Perfect Sunrise works for me now... I think it was walking by Thames in the moonlight while that lush breakdown was playing and the lights of the city flickering away in the distance that did it for me. I can definitely hear this in the Glasto encore making way to Chime...

But I want Acid Pants to be played out live more than anything.

Ronan - It's Christopher Ecclestone on You Lot - they're evidently trying to get a Doctor on every record these days.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

"What Happens Next" should so be on the album. Fools.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 May 2004 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)
