I'd like to announce the formal release of _The Five EPs_ by Disco Inferno

for some reason i keep thinking it's 'when you wake you're still in a dream'

"While Memory Drawings is an ostensibly instrumental project, Music For Another Loss also features a second disc comprising Yvonne Bruner-led vocal versions of many of the first disc’s tracks, alongside a clutch of total reinvention remixes by Rachel Grimes, Dakota Suite, Piano Magic (featuring Disco Inferno’s Ian Crause on guitar) and Bracken."

Interesting.

Still waiting on those vinyl reissues.

The 5 EPs vinyl should be out in 3/4 weeks... It's on gatefold double vinyl... have also seen t-shirt designs (DI logo in white on black or orange on sky blue) which also should be out for sale really soon...

Nice.

Would buy a t-shirt.

t-shirts! awesome!

DEFINITELY am buying a t-shirt. keep us posted.

just got one of each through the post now... they look VERY nice!! not sure when they go on sale, but i will find out and post news

Just got a press mailout from OLI:

A.R. Kane release Complete Singles Collection on the 1st October 2012 and Disco Inferno ‘The 5 Eps’ Limited Edition Double Vinyl released on the 27th August 2012. Both A.R. Kane and Disco Inferno are to be re-issued through One Little Indian’s new Totem imprint, details will be coming shortly.

And I can also say -- now that I've seen a proof of it! -- that the liner notes for the vinyl collection will be a slightly edited version of my Pitchfork piece. Looks really nice!

Please note -- 500 copies total!

WOW... Very excited for this!

Just received my shipping notice for the 5 EP's on vinyl!

Me too. :D

Vinyl arrived today and it is beautiful. Listening to it now. Got a nice little book of Ned's oral history piece as well - fantastic bonus!

:-)

I thought an update on the thread might mean further reissues by the band.
Didn't think any of the others had been redone since the mid 90s but now seeing that One Little Indian did the Goes Pop lp back in April.
Still In Debt & Technicolour are still only available in nearly 20 year old editions.
If you can get In Debt at all, rising prices on Amazon at least.

Doesn't Jonny Mugwump have connections to the brilliant-in-their-own-right Position Normal?

he is the man behind exotic pylon records, if that helps

just got my 5EPS vinyl... looks utterly gorgeous! full liner notes on the gatefold inside, plus a great 7"-sized booklet with Ned's oral history... feels like a brilliant document... and a great job by FatCat's Dave Thomas doing all the design work...

Got mine as well. Such a strange, weird and wonderful feeling.

I want one of these shirts so bad.

Picked up my copy today!

Charlotte Church also got hers:

Okay which one of you is secretly Charlotte Church?

Ned, obviously.

I had to start somewhere.

Really, Ned, Gavin Henson?

I was young and naive!

Why yes I am as happy as all get out:

I've never felt less bad about ordering a shirt for a band I've never seen.

ilx favicon font...

I think I will order one come payday.

Logo looks like a stripey bobble hat imo

Ha!

The quality of those tees look a little suspect, how are they Ned?

Side C of this vinyl is utterly perfect. Damn.

Ha, that's more the quality of my phone, I'm sure. The T-shirts themselves look fine! Haven't run 'em through the wash yet or anything.

I'm gonna have to buy one. Give some more money back after listening to an (ahem) CD rip all these years.

I think it must have been you that sent me the CD back in 2001/2. No other strangers on the net were sharing the CD at that time, I guess.

I guess it was! I pretty much was the person doing that all this time, but obviously it broke out into the wild over the years. Happily.

Hey all, a new podcast from Paul Willmott is up now on the FatCat site:

I bought two of these of vinyl. I have no idea why. Total panic buy.

I thought it would sell out quickly and I'd burn my copy out and wish I'd bought another at the time, I was beyond reason. Low and behold though, it's fucking everywhere to be found online, even Charlotte Church has a copy!

It's often the way. Does anyone know how many of the vinyl albums were issued?

I did the same thing with the first Clams Casino Instrumentals vinyl. I thought I'd play it away from its grooves it was on so much - so I (probably drunkenly) bought another. Aaargh. FFS.

xpost -- my understanding was that the run was 500 total.

xp - The first CC one I got was the coloured vinyl though, and urban legend says they die sooner. I think. Is that true? Probably not.

Oh right. Not that many then - esp. if some of us are buying two.

Some things just aren't fair. Why don't people want to hear this wonderful band?

That's totally not in any way a dig at you by the way IA!

I didn't buy two copies of it looking to gain anything financially in the future. Heck, I have most of them of CD and vinyl as it is and I'd never part with them. There's just something very special about seeing them together on one LP, in order, with a cover and everything. I kinda hoped Ned's review and feature on the band and the unanimously gushing reviews they got would pip peoples interest a bit. Then again they are one of these bands I just can't see beyond. Despite the complexity and restless ambition of their music I always imagined them to be quite inviting and appealing from the get go. Maybe that was just me. Either way it's a physical thing now and I don't think that's detracted from any of its enduring magic.
