The Studio - West Coast

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.

good luck.

West Coast + AMO1 Remix + Kylie Remix = they are kind of the best band in the world at the moment.

Has anyone produced a decent edit of Out There yet (quantized, a little more DJ-friendly structure, and a bit higher tempo)? Not looking for a complete remix or overhaul just something workable.

i got "west coast" at rasputin for around $15 but i'm sorta bummed about it because finney makes it sound like "yearbook 1" is more essential

yeah i'd like to know how hard i should try and find yearbook 1. is it actually better than west coast?? i guess essential is a good word.

and i'm sorta bummed because finney makes the long version of "self service" sound very u+k. maybe they will release a single comp type thing for the US market? "no comply" + long version of "self service" + early service EPs + "east side" + brennan green / lindstrom / prins thomas remixes, please?

what if studio did a dj kicks, i bet it would be awesome

the 2007 version has the shorter version of "self service" both are great

Vahid you can be happy with West Coast I think - "No Comply" and "Radio Edit" are actually the weakest tracks on Yearbook I (although oddly they occupy opposite ends of the Studio spectrum - the former being their most compressed pop and the latter being their most formless and spacey). If Yearbook I actually had the long version of "Self Service" on it it might be more U&K.

The short version of "Self Service" is great anyway, just not quite as... I will post the long version of "Self Service" here for people who've missed out a bit later on.

BTW yes a Studio DJ Kicks would be great.

still loving this.

blatant rip-off of The Doors' 'Peacefrog' with the guitar at the end of 'Self Service' though.
