Disco Inferno: please help me out

what say we all chip in and get that Floorshow LP released?

Floorshow?

the post-DI Ian Crause band, who apparently recorded an LP only to have it nixed by the record company...Robin Guthrie then remixed it, and it still got rejected...folks, it's out there, ready to go...and you know you want it!

I'd just like Rough Trade to gather all the five EPs and stick 'em on one CD. I'd wanna hear Floorshow too, maybe, but I wasn't struck by his solo work.

I'd just like Rough Trade to gather all the five EPs and stick 'em on one CD.

And I'd love to write the liner notes!

Hey Mr. Ned: Is that offer to burn the 5 ep's still open? I'd love them.

Yup, drop an e-mail with your address.

Thanks. I just did it.

didn't they do this in 1999?

Nope.

i've heard that album isn't very good, from someone who heard it

is this a bootleg, then?

Yeah whats "the 5 eps" that I have then?

the album I was talking about is the floorshow album

btw

and the 5 e.p.s comp referenced there is, yes, the same comp everyone with the e.ps winds up making (or copies of ones that people got off ned, bootlegger extraordinaire)

I was gonna say!

"Technicolour" going for £1.31 on amazon.co.uk new.

remind me never to go to hmv ever again

Anyway, I gather some more folks have the EPs now...the offer, as ever, remains standing.

Can anyone help me find decent-sized images of the EP covers online? Ideally 250x250pixels plus in size? Big kisses to anyone who can help!

Also, wtf, this page - http://www.last.fm/event/529497 - reckons they played a gig in April???!!!

Found 'em!

They still haven't released an EP comp? Such a shame... they are probably the worst band to google behind Can and Television. I'd ask Ned, but not sure how he stands on shipping to Sweden. If anyone could mail them or link or whatever, it would be much appreciated!

I'd be happy to send a copy! In fact I have two requests hanging fire I need to fulfill anyway.

Is one of them mine?

Ned, in that case you may check your mails!

I think it's wonderful that Ned still makes this available for folks! I don't have one, myself, though. I think I asked for one once but it wasn't convenient at the time.

Is one of them mine?

Yup!

A little something:

(Plz to note this includes a first person essay by Mr. Crause himself -- as well as a brief bit from yours truly.)

Nice, thanks!

Great to read the recollections of Ian Crause. Fell in love with this band just this year and have been curious about their backstory so thanks a lot for the little something.

You're most welcome!

"far defter" though?

It's an excerpt from a longer, unpublished piece, so I think context might explain the ending (I'd have to go back and check). Still, there's the idea that they found what one of their sources of inspiration could not, that they made it actually work.

That was a cool article. I'm delighted when anyone appreciates Sparkle In The Rain as well.

Does anyone have any idea how I might get in touch with Ian Crause? I can't find an offical myspace page. Does one exist? There's something I need to tell him. Please.

At LONG last I have finally found the interview I did with Ian Crause back in 1994. Seriously, this tape had been eluding me forever. I'll be digitizing it and figuring out how best to share in as part of a larger project; more details soon.

he said 4 months ago...

He said indeed. The larger project is forthcoming.

Does anyone know where I could get the five e.p.s in v0? Been looking for years..

what is v0? i can send you flacs or something if you want.

what is v0?

I'm desperately after the 'Last Dance' and 'Second Language' EP's in lossless if anyone can help. I have 'Second Language' on vinyl and I gave up the hope of ever finding an original copy of the 'Last Dance' EP a while back. Any help would be eternally appreciated.

did the person who was getting their logo tattood on themselves ever show any pictorial eveidence?

i vaguely remember seeing a pic?

Now I have the compilation I am selling my original CDs of the five EPs. If you're interested they're here:

Bump. A couple of people are watching these; I've just dropped the Buy It Now prices.

A gentle bump.

Zero bids still!

Couple of watchers though. I will post to the US for an ILXor, btw.
