Fake Edit: I remember some kind of ep or comp. being released after Hex, so it may have not have been all that long since Bark Psychosis put out something. But I may be wrong about that.

Bark Psychosis were one of the leading innovators of rock during theiractive period of 1988 to 1994. Their music, while almost traditional rock is better described as post rock. Their use of samples to create textural soundscapes brings a whole new sound to the genre. Post rock was speared-headed by Bark Psychosis when the genre was staid and unchanging, one of Bark Psychosis innovations is the use of volume, not too exciting you might think but as the barrage of guitars gives way to the soft vocals and synthesizers you’ll notice the dynamics that infuse their work. The artwork feature photographs of the St Johns Church where this live recording was made back in 1991, the situation perfectly reflecting the style of Bark Psychosis and their unique sound is enhanced by the acoustics. Starring alongside the 5 live tracks are some very special moments in the history of Bark Psychosis. Re-mastered versions of Reserve Shotgunman and Hex maketheir first appearance since their release as b-sides and are joined by an ultra-rare track that all good Psychosis fans will have heard of - Clawhammer. Originally released in 1988 alongside an extract from Spacemen 3 Dreamweapon, this flexi-disc remains a collectors item for both Bark Psychosis fans and Spacemen 3 devotee's alike. Also featured is a remix of Big Shot.

The CD single does say 'edit' on it, and as I bought that first on the day of release I thought "Great song, I wonder if the full version is any bigger and better?" So I went off and bought the 12 inch (on white vinyl) a day or so later and do know how much difference there is? Hardly any. There's about 20 or 30 seconds of music at the start, very much like the coda of the song, then the song proper starts, and it ends just like the CD version. So really, you're not missing much.
What are the live tracks on "Replay" then? I presume "Pendulum man" from "Game over" is there?

Have you got "World of Echo" then, as I've been after a copy of that for years...
― Rob M (Rob M), Thursday, 13 November 2003 16:01 (twenty years ago) link
I do like "Spirit of Eden", "Hex" never made enough impression on me to ever play it more than a couple of times
Yes I have a copy. No I cannot for the life of me work out why people go on about it so much - I blame Simon Reynolds.

Great track listing.
― djh, Thursday, 10 August 2023 20:33 (nine months ago) link
This looks great but I feel picky about a couple of the inclusions on here.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 10 August 2023 23:07 (nine months ago) link
Hate to nit pick as all these tracks are great but no Butterfly Child or Papa Sprain?
― Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Thursday, 10 August 2023 23:11 (nine months ago) link
Appliance are not great imho, or relevant, ESoJ too.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 10 August 2023 23:14 (nine months ago) link
Yes, surprising that Butterfly Child weren't on there.
I felt strangely enthused about this last night - just glad to see those bands being documented together - without ever having a need to buy the album (as I'd have every track on there that I'd want).
Made this a few years ago (probably with wine). Surprised I omitted Piano Magic and Hood and not sure Montgolfier Brothers and Bitter Springs quite fit the timeline:

― djh, Friday, 11 August 2023 16:53 (nine months ago) link
Yeah, would agree with this (while simultaneously being very irritated that Butterfly Child/Joe is not on there).
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 August 2023 17:07 (nine months ago) link
Surprised that O'Rang are not on that comp as well, or Long Fin Killie for that matter. Would have been nice if it went all in on the mid-90's era post-rock stuff.
― henry s, Friday, 11 August 2023 17:10 (nine months ago) link
Then again, licensing etc. Probably good (and mundane) reasons why the obvious artists aren't repped. (See also: MBV/When You're Awake You're Still in a Dream.)
― henry s, Friday, 11 August 2023 17:12 (nine months ago) link
x-posts. Butterfly Child seems an omission and there might be a practical reason for it (or the compiler might just not have liked). But, regardless, it's a better version of those years than any other compilation trying to recall the UK nineties, I'd reckon.
― djh, Friday, 11 August 2023 19:58 (nine months ago) link
Casts a wider net and obviously lacks some of the key UK bands but this is still the benchmark comp of the first wave postrock era imo:

Virgin Ambient was on a roll there, for a while.
― henry s, Friday, 11 August 2023 20:38 (nine months ago) link
Yes, great compilation but with a slightly different perspective. Have in my head that Simon Hopkins was behind some awesome compilations.
― djh, Friday, 11 August 2023 20:43 (nine months ago) link
Yes, and Kodwo Eshun did the amazing Routes From The Jungle comp which I believe was part of the Ambient series.
― henry s, Friday, 11 August 2023 20:46 (nine months ago) link
think Kevin Martin did the Monsters one. David Toop was behind lots of the others
― NickB, Friday, 11 August 2023 20:48 (nine months ago) link
oh no you're quite right, was Hopkins my apologies!
― NickB, Friday, 11 August 2023 20:58 (nine months ago) link
Tangentally related, I'd check out the two Southeast Of Saturn comps too.

Random Monday night thought: did "In The Light of Time" get much coverage and/or prompt any interesting writing/interviews?
― djh, Monday, 13 November 2023 23:24 (six months ago) link
Nothing seen on any of the stops that I frequented since it was released. Maybe it's not yet the right moment for a UK post-rock / lost generation resurgence? Despite the stupidly accelerated culture in the West, some music just needs time to get properly lost before it can be rediscovered.
Just checked and yeah, it's been less than 15 years since Biggie Samuels did those excellent "Post-Rocktoberfest" compilations on his Bubblegumcage blog.
― sawdust lagoon, Tuesday, 14 November 2023 19:46 (six months ago) link
somewhat tangential but … the distance between the quality of the music and quality of album title with “code name: dustsucker” remains astonishing

30th anniversary of Hex, apparently.

A massive album. And Dustsucker will turn 20 in July of this year. Still holding on for one more BP album but yeah, so much time has passed

The Boymerang album turned 25 a couple years back, with little to no fanfare.
