even though he is probably (could only be) referring to the fennez mix i cant begin to describe the extent to which that makes no sense.

finally got my hands on the vinyl after listening to this on MP3's - my god, what a difference - Last exit is so beautiful it makes me want to cry with joy. Song of the year for me.

― jed (jed_e_3), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, is KIN related to the Irish electronic label of the same name at all? They might give you some grief if not...

― Conor (Conor), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

nick i love this ep more and more with every passing week

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

ps. the devil is obviously fennesz

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

is fennesz the devil then?

― kattie, Thursday, 30 October 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the thing i don't like about the fennesz remix is that it fills up the empitness of the track which is the thing i like most about it.

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 30 October 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

also the origional is perfect so a remix is unnecesary, i think.

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 30 October 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

as is so often the case... (re: remixes)

Nick, I have the vinyl now (from Juno) and loving it
"Last Exit" and Coloma's "Illegible Love" make me long for early evening and end-of-night DJing when it will be perfect to play these kinds of tunes.

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 30 October 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

coloma's "illegible love" more info please paul - i need to hear that just cos you mentioned them together.

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 30 October 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i am in love

― David. (Cozen), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

...still dennis?

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

jed - check Tim's great reviews (search Finery +"Tim Finney" should do the trick). also Andy Kellman on AMG (allmusic.com): Coloma - Finery (and Silverware). search Coloma on ILM too. warning: possible acquired taste (if you already like The Blue Nile or -maybe- Colin Newman, it will be easier).

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

not to distract from Junior Boys: the undercarriage/rhythm-production differs in that Finery is more mid-range microhouse, while Junior Boys have more garage oomph!

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 30 October 2003 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

i thk you shd buy finery colin if only so i can steal it off you!

hah actually (if yr watching phil sherburne, hi phil! sorry) i ws meant to be sending PS a copy of the mayer peel thing in exchange fr finery whoops!

― David. (Cozen), Thursday, 30 October 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

oh well you can do me a copy too while you're at it!

― jed (jed_e_3), Friday, 31 October 2003 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread inspired me to go and buy the 12": I expected to not be able to find it, or to have to rifle through piles of vinyl, but it was on the wall in the Cockburn St. Fopp with a little note saying how ace it was. Subsequently, this thread & the note were proved entirely correct by the simple expedient of playing the record.

― alext (alext), Friday, 31 October 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

supposedly the manitoba remix of birthday is really good. i haven't heard it yet, though.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 31 October 2003 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Why oh why is this only available on vinyl?!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 31 October 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Why oh why indeed?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 31 October 2003 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

MattDC i just emailed you (if thats a real addy)

― jed (jed_e_3), Friday, 31 October 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt, you can have my cd promo as soon as I buy the vinyl.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 31 October 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, the vinyl issue is problem but there isn't a market for CD singles. Unless you're going to get something in the top 30 no one stocks it, and it won't reach the charts without alot of money, no matter how strong the material is.

― nick.K (nick.K), Friday, 31 October 2003 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

no one stocks it

ahem*towerus*ahem

― Paul (scifisoul), Friday, 31 October 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Pitchfork came correct - check the press and other sections.

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i gotta hear this coloma record.

― jed (jed_e_3), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

'veered into industrial territory'?!?!?!

who the fuck wrote that? offlist, nick!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

it's all i'm listening to at home, almost

― David. (Cozen), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Scott Pl. and I fought for this at Pitchfork for a few weeks. We both love her, uh, him, uh, them.

― Beta, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The Junior Boys' line-up changes on many of the tracks which'd explain why it's not clear who they are. And besides, I prefer it when you're not sure exactly what you're listening to.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

we don't need to know, we just want to hear more!

― kattie, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Would it be a little impatient of me to ask when an album might appear?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, when do we get more?

― kattie, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Another Junior Boys EP very early in the new year and an album in april 2004.
why so long??? because there's no point releasing anything between oct-jan, it's the silly season when the majors take over. Obviously it's possible to put something out but it's not worth the risk with a barely known band. Meanwhile I'll be putting bits and pieces on the site - mixes, demos, sets, etc...

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Whats with all the IDM remixers nick, how about getting some 2-step remixes, or even some electro ones, easier said than done I'm sure, but the theres a certain 'pop' sound to the JBs that would benefit from a less "alt" remix treatment doncha think?

― jk_ (jk@gabba), Thursday, 6 November 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick K's got some business head on him! I like it! These (Junior) boys will go far...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 November 2003 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i say don't bother with remixes.

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 6 November 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

flat meeting says this is banned from the flat. reason: overplay. wtf?! taste fascists.

― kent (Cozen), Thursday, 6 November 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

kill them.

― jed (jed_e_3), Friday, 7 November 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

remixes..... yes. I'm open to suggestions (the JBz are another matter). There are a couple of extremely hip people who've expressed interest, but I do worry, some of the tracks are very fragile and could damage easily (ok, so we can rule out Kanye West) but post up names if you can think of an artist, someone who could add another dimension to their sound. It's quite possible the EPs/remixes will be gathered onto a CD next year - make them more available.

― nick.K (nick.K), Friday, 7 November 2003 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Jammer!

More seriously, Coloma and Junior Boys should remix eachother! And I can imagine Superpitcher doing some great indie-house classic a la "Dream of Evan & Chan" with a lot of the tracks.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 8 November 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

get spiritualized to mix them. they did a good job on lfo.

― jed (jed_e_3), Saturday, 8 November 2003 01:57 (twenty-two years ago)

morgan geist?

― jed (jed_e_3), Saturday, 8 November 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

[pause] superpitcher... super-pitcher... damn, why do things like this happen in the middle of the night. Wonder if it'll sound as good in my head on Monday.

― nick.K (nick.K), Saturday, 8 November 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

come monday, jst remember how to spell superpitcher!

― brutal (Cozen), Saturday, 8 November 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

Thanks everyone, here's an Xmas card from KIN [shockwave]

― nick.K (nick.K), Thursday, 18 December 2003 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

When is the next release due?

― pixel, Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

KIN002, the next release is out Feb 2003. Already some strong feedback on the promos that were sent out, notably tufluv and sherburne.

― nick.K (nick.K), Thursday, 18 December 2003 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Just have to post and say that this is the best music I heard last year. No doubt someone to watch.

― pm, Thursday, 25 December 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

having just heard this for the first time, i'm gutted that more people weren't telling me about junior boys, and sooner.

last exit is lush.
