The Studio - West Coast

someday in the future there will be a plugin in reason that just cranks out "studio remakes" of whatever songs you want and adds that awesome guitar and beat and i will never listen to anything else again

Wow, this remix is one of the best things I've heard all year! Thanks max!

i also have this if ppl are interested the keys (studio remix) - the rubies

yeah this is fire

oh i love that rubies remix - where can i get it at good quality? is it out?

thanks max

loving the remix, thanks max

yeah if someone has a better quality rip of that id love to hear it

is that the 96kbps rip that's been floating around the blogs?

super good but the quality just kills it :(

i don't know...all these Studio remixes are making me like them less. reducing it to a formula, i suppose.

(Good shout on the Deadbeat podcast by the way Tim, this is wonderful)

Is West Coast itself still only available on vinyl? I have no problem with Yearbook 1 per se (elongated version of Origin especially). But the edited version of Self Service breaks my heart, especially as it does away with my favourite bit (the trancey Europop keyboards playing softly in the background in the middle, that then pitch up).

i have a CD called West Coast...isn't it Yearbook 1 that's still vinyl only?

i don't think west coast was ever on cd? do you have a promo?

nope i bought it from here: http://www.inf000.com/

but it has the extended Out There and the shorter Self Service, which is what Matt has on Yearbook? i'm so confused..

extended Origin i mean

it's the same edition as the 2007 west coast lp, which means same tracklisting as 2006 west coast lp but with yearbook 1 versions of the songs

we've been through this upthread.

To be clear:

The long version of "Self Service" and the short versions of "Indo" and "Origin" are only on the 2006 edition of West Coast.

The versions of the tracks on the the 2007 edition of West Coast are the same as on Yearbook 1, however the tracklisting is the same as for the 2006 edition of West Coast.

The 2007 edition of West Coast is available on both vinyl and CD. The 2006 edition was only ever released on vinyl.

It does seem odd that they went for the shorter version of "Self Service" for the re-release - despite the edition of the piano it's not a patch on the original extended version.

can't be bothered to check if anyone's posted live vids upthread ...

bit of a tighter budget than daft punk :)

kylie remix makes me wanna roll around in the surf with a lover

How long is the longer / better version of 'Self Service'? On the copy I have, it's 8m 16s...

That's the long version. The short version is only about 4 or 5 minutes.

and the short version is the newer version.

the old school cd back looks sick

Love it!

Having lived with the newer versions of the songs for a couple of days I will happily give up the old Self Service if it means getting the new, longer Indo. Those two intertwining guitar refrains = sublime! I love the way it feels so propulsive despite the fact there's not a sniff of a beat.

That and the revamped Origin (love that chunky bassline) have cemented its album-of-the-year status for me.

Tonight this seems like the best album in the world.

so, that 120 Days album is kind of like a really bad version of this, maybe?
Will Lindstrom as producer improve them at all?

wait what?

oh wait you mean 120 days. never mind.

why is this totally impossible to find?

order it from amazon.

unlesss you want the 12" or something.

http://www.inf000.com/

that's what I'm talkin 'bout - thx man!

holy shit $40!

lol. amazon has the CD new for 14.99 but if you want the LP idk what to tell you.

goddamn weak dollar

other than it's probably worth $40 tbh.

I only asked cuz I've been keeping an eye out for this at various record stores and never ever seen it anywhere. I dunno, maybe for xmas...

we've had it at Amoeba here in SF for months....

Information was being distro'd by Amato, who went down spectacularly a few weeks ago. here in SF, i was buying them through Forced Exposure (who bought thru Amato), and we were getting them at a decent domestic price - it retailed for $15. Since Amato went down, Forced is out of stock and who knows when they'll restock.

I bought some from one our UK distros as a stopgap - but they're hitting the floor for $23, a huge bummer. On the flipside, i contacted the label themselves who agreed to sell me as many as i wanted for the same price Forced was selling them. if you can wait, i would. the price will come down soon enough.

the forced e website still has the 2LP for $18 listed: http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/studio.html

aah yeah, i'm specifically talking about CD's...

well they still have the cd for $15

their website is (often) wrong, i can guarantee you they're out of it.
