they could just release a CD of Madrugada Eterna repeated ten times and that'd be fine

Well, it’s got sheep sounds, train sounds, Tuvan throat-singing, and I’m only into track 3. I’m for it!

This is terrific, shame to lose Elvis and Acker, but doesn’t change the overall experience too much. Though it feels a shade darker than before.

Just gave this a listen through decent cans and a cranked Subpac (chair subwoofer thing) and can confirm it is an awesome fully immersive experience and you should all do the same asap. Great rework, nice to hear this stuff in pristine digital quality rather than a tape of a tape of a crackly old 12" :)

the Wax Trax CD remained in print past the 1990s tbf
― shivers me timber (sic), Thursday, 4 February 2021 20:19 (three years ago) link
the CD actually sounds really good, I mainly listened to it in the car back in the day (sometimes driving along parts of the route described in the track listing) so I didn't know how well it was mixed!
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Thursday, 4 February 2021 20:37 (three years ago) link
(I had the cassette version from Wax Trax during the 90s, but bought the CD at some point later)

'Come Down Dawn' looks VERY promising.

It is. :)

I wish they'd just reissue their catalog on vinyl. This streaming release situation where the samples are removed is antithetical to their operating principals, although offering your music on streaming without having it available to purchase in physical formats is essentially the same as burning money, so perhaps they are still operating accordingly.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 5 February 2021 17:39 (three years ago) link
maybe they'll press up a couple thousand on vinyl and then take them to Jura
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link
I put Come Down Dawn on repeat at low volume while I slept the past couple nights, it's amazing to wake up for a minute or two in the middle of the night and see where it's at
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 18:11 (three years ago) link
I wish they'd start to release these on Bandcamp.
― jvc, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:20 (three years ago) link
looks like i accidentally just posted 'come back fat as a rat' on the highest grossing actors of all time votebut i guess it works there

I don't like buying bootleg vinyl but I'll make an exception for The KLF because it's so incredibly expensive and unlikely to ever get repressed
That said I've upgraded the chances from 0% to like...2% now
― frogbs, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
I guess Bill and Jimmy don't need any money, which is good for them, I suppose.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 5 February 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link
If there is a De La Soul sampling situation with Chill Out then could they then reissue the original album on vinyl if they wanted to?
― PaulTMA, Friday, 5 February 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link
what
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:01 (three years ago) link
De La Soul can't re-release their back catalog digitally because the sample clearances don't cover downloads or streaming, only various physical formats.
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link
― jvc,
exactly.they would be able to burn another million if they did this.
― mark e, Friday, 5 February 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
The KLF, famously known for having diligently cleared all their samples for physical releases, of course.
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:37 (three years ago) link
It's not like they ever had to burn the entire run of an album, or surrender international performing name rights to the entire band, over uncleared samples.
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:38 (three years ago) link
Spotify, Bandcamp, or Apple being onboard with casual copyright infringement as artistic expression seems unlikely, however
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:47 (three years ago) link
think the bigger question is if this is gonna culminate in anything new
― frogbs, Friday, 5 February 2021 20:49 (three years ago) link
would be cool if they finished the Black Room and released it
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:53 (three years ago) link
there is no way that would be good
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:54 (three years ago) link
oh, now you want new AND good!
― fbclid=fhAZ3l (f. hazel), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
:D
They did something new like two years ago, it seemed great from reports and phone clips! They haven't made a good record together in about 24 years, and let's face it, a majority of Jimmy's music since then is pretty bad. (respect knux to the Token EP, but he dropped out of the band before they even recorded it)
And going back to try and put yourself in the mindset of a mental breakdown that almost saw you chainsaw off your own hand thirty years ago, in order to finish writing songs that scared you so much you stopped writing them thirty years ago and have not written new music under your own name since, to record them with a band who are now two-thirds dead, seems unlikely even it it would be cool.
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 21:15 (three years ago) link
oh yeah that Transit Kings album was pretty good but I kinda doubt Cauty had much to do with it
― frogbs, Friday, 5 February 2021 21:17 (three years ago) link
He's only credited with writing on some of the songs that carried over from the EP and singles. AFAIK his only recorded work with them was the Boom Bang Bombay single-sided 12", released as Custerd three years before the TKs album, in a run of 75 copies.
(discogs says that version was also used as a TK b-side later)
― shivers me timber (sic), Friday, 5 February 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
I've long been curious about the composition of that album, since Cauty was out early, and neither Pratt nor Beken really have any original compositions to their name, which leaves....Alex Patterson??
― frogbs, Friday, 5 February 2021 21:29 (three years ago) link
Guy Pratt had written multiple #1 singles, and the two of them had done the score for Spaced together

Solid State Logik 2 is now on Spotify
― Mark G, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 07:14 (three years ago) link
It says "12" master mixes 1989-2017", it's mostly the "Live from Trancentral" long versions, a few skipped last time, the 7" "Kylie said to Jason", and "Jarvis joins the Jams" from 2017 it seems.
