Aaaah, the wasp in a jamjar guitar tone on that version of Mother Sky. Beautiful.

Who hasn't covered "Mother Sky" these days? The reissues should be good, though. Even though I won't buy them since I have the albums.

Slight delay on the reissues: http://www.heavensend.org/news/index.html
September 13, 2008. Loop reissues delayedThe album were due for releases on October 8th, but now have been delayed to problems with the artwork. They will now be released on November 17th.

A telling bit re: the breakup:
There’s reasons I don’t want to go into it. It was very difficult to move into Hydra Calm [Main’s first release], and what became the Main stuff. That’s where I wanted Loop to go and I was finding it very hard to think about that in a rock band format. It’s very hard to tell a drummer who is a very very good drummer not to drum.

Comments hilarious.

THE WORLD IN YOUR EYES REISSUE
The World In Your Eyes Re-masteredDear All,
Notes:All re-mastered from the original sources with the exception of Collision/Crawling Heart/Thief Of Fire/Thief (Motherfucker), sadly due to the original masters going AWOL - or I suspect, STOLEN.But, they still sound a damn sight better on CD than they did, so not all is lost.Same with Pink Moon and Cinnamon Girl - they have also suffered the same fate, but as in everything, you can't have it always your own way.
Still waiting on the Like Rats master, but we are told that it's safe - just 'somewhere'...and NO! Justin Broadrick does not play on it.Spinning parts 1 & 2 are the edits of the split side 7" - we wanted to sound like Television Little Johnny Jewel crossed with Fripp on Heroes...bless us in our naivety.Arc-Lite (Radiated) is from the original 7" B-Side - Daniel Miller wanted us to sound more like NEU!... bless him in his belief.
Head On from the 1st Loop demo was beyond saving, due to damage to the master - but how many more versions of that fucker do you need?
OK - uptightanouttasight

What with this lot, the MBV stuff, and then World Dom in the pipeline, surely the God reissues can't be far behind.
― NickB, Monday, 24 November 2008 22:44 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Looks like February slipped into March. Here's hoping they appear this month.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
Collision, Arc-Light, Black Sun, Thief of Fire (Motherfucker) - all these are Grade A wig-shakers.

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 (fifteen years ago) link
Yep, title track to Fade Out, this is it. Oh yeaaaah maaaaaaaan.

Four days to go...
I'll be at my local record store at 9am with money in hand; so excited!

I broke down and ordered all four reissues from Aquarius, cannot wait for that package to show up!

The first two are fucking great. Will be picking up the new ones this week as well.

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
"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 (fourteen years ago) link
'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 (fourteen years ago) link
One of the great EPs of the late 80s.
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:33 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Bugger! The reissue of A Gilded Eternity didn't make it to Maine.
Same goes for Texas...

I'm thinking it just didn't come out Sateside. Hope the delay is short.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 June 2009 16:18 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
