Gross.
Is this just another random comp?

I am assuming it's this July 78 show, with the two missing tracks restored and the three anomalous ones removed. Nothing to get excited about.

And the two missing tracks are not unreleased either. Who's going to want this on vinyl with that terrible cover?

$50 for reproduction / unlimited print run, seems resonable

Never thought I'd say this about a Fall song but Auto Chip 2014-2016 is revelatory through earphones

Definitely my favorite from the last album.

Also, they are playing in NYC for the first time since forever. A five night stand!

Yes! They announced a Kentucky show a few weeks ago and I was worried I'd have to make some very complicated plans.
― cwkiii, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:12 (seven years ago) link
i'm having trouble deciding which night or two to go to, though! I can imagine first night being the best because of momentum or being a shitshow because of travel exhaustion. I can imagine the last night being the best because of comfort w/venue or being a shitshow because MES did too many bad things in NYC. Etc etc
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:14 (seven years ago) link
If I had a choice I'd probably go with one of the earlier shows. Realistically, the only one I can make is probably the last one since it's a Saturday.
― cwkiii, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:24 (seven years ago) link
pretty hard rock :/
btwed as always by Mark E. Smith, and featuring Peter Greenway (guitar, synth, backing vocals). Dave Spurr (bass, Mellotron, backing vocals) and Keiron Melling (drums).
did him and Elena split??? i don't really hear synths....that sucks if true she was the most interesting musical thing going on
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:28 (seven years ago) link
yes they did, it's sad. I really liked her contributions. However, this is the most stripped down lineup he has used in a looong time, and that interests me
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:38 (seven years ago) link
the most stripped down since granny played the bongos
― black covfefe in bed (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:45 (seven years ago) link
i like a stripped down lineup but these guys are so...i dunno..."good" in a not interesting way, like they have a real session vibe to be
i dunno like there's an almost like 80s metal vibe to that main riff that weirds me out
though i react poorly to a lot of new fall stuff then sometimes end up loving it
his vocal sound unhinged like emphysema-as-autotune
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 16:34 (seven years ago) link
This lot were behind OFYC so I have some faith (and every album since has had a couple of great tracks at least), sure Elena will be a big miss
― imago, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 16:39 (seven years ago) link
good to know abt OFYC lineup, I can't keep track anymore
― sleeve, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 16:42 (seven years ago) link
This lot have been in situ since Imperial Wax Solvent! Longest stable line-up ever
― imago, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 16:43 (seven years ago) link
Yeah basically This is almost all the people who made OFYC so potential for stupendous excellence is real
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 16:43 (seven years ago) link
love OFYC
i dunno, honestly i was hoping he would shake-up the lineup a bit i feel like this band has codified this sort bruising, precise repetitive heavy riff thing a bit too much
though the one aspect of the i DIDN'T want to see go was Elena...though I suppose that change has zero to do with music.
lord i bet she could write a book and a half

i have no idea who's in The Fall of the 21st century besides MES.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 17:50 (seven years ago) link
xp I would also like to put in a word for All Leave Cancelled.
Jetplane and Loadstones are two of his best songs regardless of era imo.
― cwkiii, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 18:11 (seven years ago) link
man, I really need to catch up on the last few. I know they're on Spotify, I should just buy CDs.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 18:17 (seven years ago) link
I thought Sub-Lingual Tablet had some winning Grotesque-like moments

can anyone comment on the CD vs LP differences on that one?
― sleeve, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:49 (seven years ago) link
Some versions of tracks are quite different (the recording/arrangement even) between the two versions. I heard the CD first so that might have prejudiced me, but overall it seems to me the material there is sharper. When The Quietus gave the album a bad review (sort of bizarrely, given that they usually support the band and arguably SLT is their best work this decade), one of the commenters mentioned that several of the review's criticisms seemed to pertain to the vinyl version and were redressed by the CD. I would concur.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link
thank you! I see one song is also slightly longer on CD
― sleeve, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:33 (seven years ago) link
I liked SLT a lot
Re-Mit is fun too, this lineups version of a party record
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:37 (seven years ago) link
I just snapped up Ersazt and Re-Mit, will pick up SLT soon and that'll catch me up to the new one
― sleeve, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:39 (seven years ago) link
My main regret is that reformation post tlc did not sound even slightly like the mammoth hawkwindesque show they played here when the Americans and the current Britishes were briefly all in the lineup together
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:42 (seven years ago) link
was that lineup recorded live?
― imago, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:43 (seven years ago) link
I don't think so... live hammersmith does not have the American kids right?
I keep hoping I'll find an audience recording of that one I was at (greenpoint, Brooklyn, 2007)
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 22:46 (seven years ago) link
The Hammersmith CD/DVD does actually have the American band, or at least some of them.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 23:11 (seven years ago) link
In combo with Dave the eagle and them?

but... why do some of you abbreviate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Future_Our_Clutter to OFYC ? Is it because of the first track?
