I think you're totally right, Vahid, especially considering how different it seems than something like Rub's Campfire. That said, starting a mix with Meek's "I hear a New World" is a good staple to keep alive.

That Torske disc is great!

When you factor in the time it takes to put together the release (not talking about the actual mixing but rather licensing/artwork/manufacturing etc) and the task of securing licensing for each and every track (which alone can rule out a lot of awesome but legally dubious white labels, edits, etc), there's no way a label-backed mix CD is going to be as adventurous or timely as something from Beats in Space etc, or indeed whatever the DJ putting together the mix is like spinning live...

Sorry, last thing on my "East 6th St" --> "Cosmic Lady" --> "Cosmic" bit up above. If you want to hear "Cosmic Lady" by Tony Silvester & The New Ingredient aka Tony Sylvers, it is available at lovefingers.org. It's the old song still able to be downloaded though so you better get on over there if you want it.

"It's the old song" should be "It's the oldEST song"

― matt2, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link

That's still open to misinterpretation, maybe it should be "oldest post with the song still available for download" but whatever. I'll shutup.

commercial mix CDs *are* passe if you are clued in to blogs, p2p, downloadable mixes, these threads, etc. but not everyone has the time?

i don't think eskimo has jumped yet, although the lotterboys album and RS mix were underwhelming for sure. the peter visti 12 is awesome.

Got a track ID request.

Could anyone tell me what the Italo tune in this track is?

This guy put the Message acapella through a vocoder and then over this track.

Sounds really good pitched down.

bwh - stop

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 7 May 2007 13:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Thanks for the info.

I am pretty much universally ignorant when it comes to a lot of this stuff.

Almost 1100 posts and no scott seward.

How about that Lindstrom/Prins Thomas essential mix?

― littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, 7 May 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I got to see the MOA LP on Friday. It looks pretty nice. Def. better packaging than previous WEWW releases.

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 7 May 2007 23:21 (sixteen years ago) link

are they printing a larger edition than 17 this time???

― lfam, Monday, 7 May 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

1000

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 7 May 2007 23:55 (sixteen years ago) link

i was in A-1 records in ny this past weekend and they had one of the MoA 12"s on the wall to taunt people but not to sell. i guess Carlos is friends w/the guys that work there.

― jaxon, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 04:56 (sixteen years ago) link

wow so cool

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 05:31 (sixteen years ago) link

i ordered some import copies of the MOA CD for the store today, here's hoping we get them!

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 06:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Any idea how limited the run of CDs will be?

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 07:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Also: has anyone heard Mudd's Claremont 56 LP on Rong?

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 08:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I saw the MoA 12" there this weekend as well. Eric of Rub-n-Tug works there, so that's probably connection enough.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Speaking of Rong, any word on when Lee Douglas' new one is coming out?
I just realized dude is a really accomplished illustrator working with motion graphics heavyweights in NYC. Here's the new record's design...

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:34 (sixteen years ago) link

this "cosmo galactic prism" looks quite a bit less interesting than what you can get for free from beats in space / PS1 radio / ILM mix thread / lovefingers / etc etc

But it works really, really well.

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I mentioned Doug's illustrations above...

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, the new Lee Douglas with the bells on his myspace is just right.

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link

sorry i missed that dan, this thread has gotten really unwieldy. i'm just surprised that he works with the best of the best w/r/t motion graphic companies...makes sense why his releases take so long to come out...

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, that was some really impressive stuff. Thanks for the link BleepBot.

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:05 (sixteen years ago) link

spoke to Ben at Rong yesterday, he says that "New York Story" is out at the end of the month.

Rong is also releasing a limited edition 12" soon, here's the info:

"So here's a very limited gem for our loyal customers. Only 250 of these are being made and they are only available through mail order direct through us so get on it fast!! Each 12" will be hand painted on the B side, coming in a handsome full plastic belt sleeve to boot.

This very special limited release is to promote the first of our new mix CD series titled, "NON STOP" (#1 is mixed by the Rong Boys - Ben Cook and DJ Spun) which will be coming out soon after, so keep on the look out!

About the Music:

Hailing From the LBC, CA, Mr. Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes are the newest members of our ragtag outfit we would like to introduce to you. The title pretty much says it all, as far as the music's concerned - Mental crunchy punk disco with a bass line that'll rip your hair piece back.

Catalog # Rong dj4
Artist: Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes
A1) Double Fisted - (Hand painted single sided release)
Street date: May 21st"

These should be in all three Amoebas upon release. If you live outside CA, check the Rong website I guess...

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link

btw i dropped by on saturday and bought "klubb kebbab", there were three dudes working the dance section and they all had stocking caps

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Claremont 56 was out in Japan last year I think? I thought it was uneven, some wonderful moments and some real snoozers.

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???

Being in Alabama and, you know, not working there, I can't really speak for Amoeba, but I'm pretty sure the UK/international version of This Is... is out yet and won't be out for another couple of months. The one out there now is on Music Mine, who handle Rong's distribution in Japan.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Er, ISN'T out yet. Gah.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah but amoeba has mad japanese stuff ... but it's nice to hear taht there's a UK/europe version of "this is..." coming out

listening to a Midnight Mike mix that is over two years old and has Like an Eagle on it.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Did the website say "coming May 2006" or something for like a year?

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't forget to add http://www.planet-e.net

I think that one's been the same since at least 2003 or 2004. Although something tells me the intro was different, although in the same vein, this time around. It's so old that after the intro it says check back and make sure you have Flash 6 installed. The current version is Flash 9.xxx

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link

acute records said "new site soon" from 2002 till 2007.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

not that anyone was checking.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Not to get shady, but does anyone have a digital version of the first otterman release? The second one blew half of my brain off and I NEED TO TAKE IT OUT.

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

coming right up

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

also i don't think it's shady to share records that only got like two copies pressed

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

yep yep, just email me...

speaking of, are they really going to release MOA on CD? It really seems likes it defeats the whole aura they're going for with group and label.

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link

But what if it's a set of twelve 3" CDRs in individually silk-screened sleeves, including a real hair from DJ Harvey's beard?

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link

...in an edition of ten, selling at £150.
