It's also on Independency, which for my money is still my favourite BP disc.

Great album. I listened to Hex the other day, such a wonderful album. As close to a perfect homage to late Talk Talk as it comes. I worked my way through the singles and EP's a while back as well. I totally forgot how entrancing 'Scum' is.
Dustsucker is great as well. I wonder if there will ever be another Bark Psychosis release. I guess anything is possible after 'm b v'.

There’s a new vinyl pressing of Hex around at the moment, not sure if it is legit or not.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 9 February 2013 10:11 (eleven years ago) link
Graham's apparently working on new BP stuff. Expect it in 2014. Seriously.

Nick, do you happen to know if he's still in Argentina?
― ジー・ニュー・マイ・ブラッディー・バレンタイン・リッコード・カインダー・ブローズ (MaresNest), Saturday, 9 February 2013 19:16 (eleven years ago) link
Graham emailed me yesterday; the new Hex vinyl is nothing to do with him and is just a needle drop from the CD, so avoid.
Dunno if he's in Argentina, but he's been working on a third These New Puritans album which he's very excited about.

I thought that may be the case, so many of these are at the moment. Disappointing.
― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 10 February 2013 12:33 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I'd expected as much from that recent issue of 'Hex'. A shame because my original copy is a bit noisy so I'd be up for replacing it.

Oof, sounds like there was some bad monitoring going on in parts of that.

Long piece on Hex coming up from Wyndham Wallace at the Quietus, apparently.

Just ordered Hex reissue on vinyl. Anyone know if the Sleuth pressing is decent?
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
I believe Graham warned people off a reissue recently as it had nothing to do with him, I'm afraid. Dunno if it's that one though.

There has to be a new album in the works, right? It's 2014! Every 10 years he makes an album, I mean c'mon already.

Maybe Graham Sutton is waiting for Scott Walker to blink first.

loved reading that article.if wyndham is a lurker, then can i just say thanks.it was a great read.i have the cd issue of hex, and the o.rang album, but never really understood the whole groove ..at times, the quietus really is the best.
― mark e, Friday, 15 August 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that was an excellent article. I only got Hex a couple of years ago and I still didn't really know anything about the backstory, so it was really interesting.

^ Nice. Sold my copy of Hex when needing some money earlier this year, brilliant news.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 23 June 2017 13:21 (six years ago) link
still have the cds but if they put these out on vinyl that would be nice.
― akm, Friday, 23 June 2017 17:58 (six years ago) link
also, Hex was reissued on vinyl, but there was something dodgy or unauthorized about it
― akm, Friday, 23 June 2017 17:59 (six years ago) link
I'd hope there'd be some bonus stuff
― Duke, Friday, 23 June 2017 18:19 (six years ago) link
I prefer the trio material, is that still available?
― Stevolende, Friday, 23 June 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link
This is excellent news. Was the Vinylissimo (sp?) reissue from a few years back official?
Just noticed that there's a new Coldharbourstores thing, too. I'd not heard of them - worth a listen?
― The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Friday, 23 June 2017 18:39 (six years ago) link
Aha!
Dunno if they're included but I wrote Graham some sleevenotes for Dustsucker a few months ago...
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 24 June 2017 21:28 (six years ago) link
Oh so you're the guy.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 June 2017 21:33 (six years ago) link
:-D
colharbourstores were good but they're certainly different from bark psychosis
― akm, Saturday, 24 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
Has anything been heard of John Ling? He seemed to disappear in the 90s from what I heard.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 25 June 2017 01:48 (six years ago) link
That's what Graham meant when he wrote, "Great pains / time / money have been used to do this properly". Decent sleeve notes!! ;-)

I still don't know the order of events -- ie, whether they already knew each other before she started writing the book, or whether they met because she started writing the book and interviewing people -- but it's fun that Jeanette and Graham ended up getting married. Power couple right there!

I was in London for this talk at Rough Trade. It was fairly interesting and a happy accident that I ended up in the shop just before the talk began. Wish they had played some examples of the music that influenced the sound.
― brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 22 July 2017 23:00 (six years ago) link
Oh cool, do you remember much about what was said?
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Saturday, 22 July 2017 23:03 (six years ago) link
In parts. Talked about the influences of the sound. The differences in the U.K. and US post rock principals / sound. The research & writing process. A couple anecdotes. Some other known musicians were in the audience but I forgot who they are now.
