"INFCD3 Yearbook 2 - Out in spring 08!"

Anyone have any more information on this?

Also, where i could pick up Yearbook 1 on cd in the UK?

anybond gonna spend 25 pounds on a tshirt? i am actually tempted

*anybody*

I'd probably be tempted if it was made in a small.

Some thoughts re recent Studio remixes (Kylie, Love Is All, Williams, A Mountain of One):

Interesting how all of these fit much more cleanly into prevailing tide of Balearic revivalism than their actual album does - they sound more enamoured of the disco beat on these remixes, and more distant from post-punk or baggy rhythms.

I wonder if this stronger disco infatuation will carry through to their future work.

The lack of a need to tie their wanderings down to one of their own songs also makes them both more expansive and wispy (longer sections where the grooves just wander around on 4X4 propulsion and sparing bass and background strings and echo and flashes of incadescent spanish guitar, without the need to fit into some overarching theme) and more obvious and cheesy (said effects are introduced simply because they sound good).

Like, the point halfway through the "Love on a Real Train" where sudden cut-up snippets of vocals drift in and the whole arrangement seems to bubble over.... brilliant.

The "Turn The Radio Off" remix is even cheesier: the middle-section with the "eh eh eh eh eh" background vocal and the lead vocal comes in is totally Ibiza in the mid-90s sense as much as the 1987 or 2007 sense.

i dont have anything to add to that except to say the bass on the love is a real train just blows my mind. one of those things that, when it comes on, you cant concentrate on anything else.

what if studio did a dj kicks, i bet it would be awesome
Don't know if people know about this mix
listening for the first time now.

and what happened with this????

only just hitting me how good 'No Comply' is. Mondays/Flowered Up vibe unavoidable.

i love this album

want

when i listen to this band i feel like they should rule the world

that tshirt is out of print. of course. (i was looking at it too and thought about spending 25 pounds for a second) these guys are really kind of aesthetically perfect aren't they? it actually sort of bothered me at first.

the album cover is awesome. that shirt is even better.

williams 12" comes on white vinyl. the non-studio remake is quite good but the studio version rules all.

Oh man that Rubies remix (and I haven't heard it in a non low quality version yet either) is sooooo gorgeous.

has anybody caught any of their recent live dj sets? comments?

their dj skills are sub-par,their record collection is not. proceed with caution.

i bought this CD and lost it before i even played it.

i'm bummed that they don't play more as a live band.

you can hear the a-side of the first release by Fontan on Studio's Information label at their myspace.

i found their early stuff on the internets (2001 - 2002) and damn, they got really good over that 4 year span. origin (shake u down by the river) is the only thing that lasted from that period.

how jaded is that

genuine LOL

There's a tremendous mix by them here - couple of really clunky transitions but their track selection is pretty much faultless.

I would REALLY LIKE a tracklisting for this, especially need to know what that Kate Bush-esque track is about 25mins in.

I am very excited indeed about tomorrow's Studio/Ame/Chromatics/Simonetti mentalism.

Sally Oldfield - Hide & Seek

And yes it's pretty astonishing. Sally is Mike Oldfield's sister! Can anyone report back on her albums? Judging from the covers the early ones (from late 70s/early 80s) look like lost balearic prog-Britfolk-pop classics, like a proto-Enya maybe.

I'd love to make a mixtape of just stuff like this - Happy Rhodes in particular could totally be repositioned as a hipster curio if you chose the right tracks.

A friend of mine who's really into minimal, dub-techno, dubstep etc. as well as a fair swathe of indie grabbed me recently and handed me his iPod and said "you gotta listen to this, it's amazing!!!" -it was the Ashley Beedle remix of "Running Up That Hill" in the middle of a DJ set, he had no idea what it was.

I quite fancy it, but I'm not very good at staying up late or going 'clubbing' rather than 'indie-discoing' and I'm going to see Low anyway. RA says it might be sold out too.

I bought a ticket months ago because I've been dying to see Chromatics, but I'm old and fat and non-clubby and bummed about having to get to West London post-Chromatics and then get up and work and... fuck!

I wonder who the "special secret guests" are... probably not a band, I guess, with a 2 hour slot like that.

I guess I should just go for it. I know I'll have at least 5 people coming up to me through the night thinking I'm the bouncer. Depressing.

The music on that Sally Oldfield sounds like it could be Goblin! The initial riff sounds like something off the Deep Red soundtrack. (No great surprise I guess since they copped a good bit've their act from her bro in the first place).

Steve - it's sold out, as far as I can tell. There might be a very limited number of tickets available on the door and someone else who's going with us might have one spare but otherwise looks a bit late.

I'm not sure how special or secret those Special Secret Guests would have to be to get me staying past 7.30, mind.

I guess I hoped it might be Glass Candy, but apparently there were some issues getting them to come on this tour (which was supposed to be the plan originally, I heard).

The special guests are someone DJing somewhere else in London on that night, or so I read.

Looks like Yearbook 2 will be a collection of their 'Versions'.

i will buy it

i bought yearbook 1 for like $60 when it cames out, fucking kroners

2nd of June is the UK release for Yearbook 2.

Just got this from Bengans:

http://www.bengans.se/popup/STUDIO_2/mall_konvolut.jpg

129:- (EXKL. FRAKT 29:-) RELEASE 28/5

Med sin debut "Yearbook 1" 2007 satte Dan Lissvik och Rasmus Hägg aka. Studio sitt namn ordentligt på världskartan. Hyllningar över hela världen och utsålda konserter följde denna minst sagt stil och banbrytande duo från Göteborg. Inte minst var bandet ett hett namn på remixmarknaden och "Yearbook 2" väver samman dessa mixar som tidigare ej funnits tillängliga på CD. Och det är inga smånamn som Studio kan lägga på sin remix-merit lista.
Shout Out Louds, A Mountain Of One, Tangerine Dream och till och med självaste Kylie Minogue.

In english

The new album from swedish remix-masters Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg aka Studio is soon to be released. If you liked Yearbook 1, you will not be disappointed with this!

Tracklist:
A Mountain Of One - Brown piano (remake by Studio)
Shout Out Louds - Impossible (possible remake by Studio)
Love Is All - Turn the radio off (remake by Studio)
Rubies - Room without a key (version by Studio)
Brennan Green - Escape from chinatown (version by Studio)
Kylie Minogue - 2 hearts (version by Studio)
Williams/Tangerine Dream - Love on a real train (version by Studio)

Ohmigod the very idea of that last track is amazing.

This just made the queue.

excited about this if it gets a vinyl release.
