OK... truth or bullshit?

The two albums are getting reissued and remastered by Thrill Jockey sometime this year.

I've heard this from two sources that don't know each other... (though both sources could be taken with a grant of salt, I suppose.)

! Well that took long enough. Better late than never, but let's see if it pans out.

Super_collider ain't trip hop! i'd be amazed if Supercollider were anywhere near as fierce as them!

If people are calling Super_Collider triphop, then its them who be overlooked!

fine fine... Super_collider are not trip hop. 'twas an innocent mistake years ago.

Supercollider though. (Fierce as Super_collider? Who cares. if you do care, start your own thread or find a previous one.) News, people. reissues are happening or not?

I thought this thread was about Fountains Of Wayne's brilliant Oasis pastiche called "Supercollider".

ARGH.

Anyway.

SUPERCOLLIDER THE BRILLIANT SOCAL BAND, THEN.

six months pass...

I forgot to update a while ago... not too long after, I got an email from some at Thrill Jockey saying, very politely, that he or she didn't know what I was talking about.

So it was just two parallel rumors. :( either that, or Thrill Jockey is planning to reissue/distribute Super_collider -- the Lidell collab., and that person didn't immediately recognize the point of confusion.

fuck you last.fm for autocorrecting my Supercollider plays as "Super_Collider"

"Supercollider" is a great Oasis pastiche by Fountains Of Wayne. :)

Ten years later but some news! There's an official FB page:

And the two albums are due for reissue via Bandcamp in the very near future, while archival material and new music is being planned.
