Bad distro options due to the collapse of Safety In Numbers and a few other like-minded distros?

― Xii (Xii), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 04:45 (twenty years ago) link

is it actually available anywhere on cd? i was just in Barcelona and bought the vinyl version of it cause the guy at the record store said that it wasn't coming out on cd at all

If you really want it, you can get it at Other Music.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 04:52 (twenty years ago) link

I got it this w-e in Prague, of all places..
Still unconvinced, but then again I was never sold on 'Vocal City' either..

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 07:23 (twenty years ago) link

I know it's getting a proper CD release though BMG here in the Netherlands on August 15, so maybe that's also the case elsewehere.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 08:26 (twenty years ago) link

i got it on vinyl coz of lack of cd. actually, there is another thread about this somewhere

― Robin Goad (rgoad), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:20 (twenty years ago) link

Thanks for the info.

― hector (hector), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

forcedexposure.com has it on CD - it's freaking 30 bucks tho!

― jason m. (jason m), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:49 (twenty years ago) link

i don't see it at FE, unless everyone that just saw this thread went there and bought them all up

― JasonD (JasonD), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:57 (twenty years ago) link

I got it for $18 on CD through Force Tracks a month or two ago...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

Is saw a cd-copy at a local recordstore last week for 25 Euros. Already have the vinyl version which sounds divine.

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

dang, you're right - FE is out. huh. well, they *did* have it.

― jason m. (jason m), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 18:35 (twenty years ago) link

we still haven't gotten copies at amoeba in SF, even though vocalcity still gets restocked regularly. i listened to the vinyl and at first listen thought there were way more vocals than vocalcity...and it was a bit of a turnoff. can anyone give me a good comparison review?

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 19:24 (twenty years ago) link

i just got it through other music in new york on cd although it was $27.00. http://www.othermusic.com

― hector (hector), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 20:55 (twenty years ago) link

Is the vers. of "Present Lover" on Digital Disco the same as the one on the album?

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:17 (twenty years ago) link

ouch - maybe that's why our buyer hasn't picked it up yet -- it's tough enough getting people to buy $20 imports let alone $30. what's with the ridiculous price?

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:37 (twenty years ago) link

No EFA to save the day.

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:41 (twenty years ago) link

Mark - it's slightly different, perhaps ever so slightly inferior... although I only say that because they extend that synth-guitar solo from its interlude right through to the end, which means it overshadows slightly my favourite riff in the whole track which comes in near the end.

Luckily there's "Could Be Like This", which is like "The Present Lover" mark 2 (slightly less vocals) and is possibly (gasp) BETTER.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 31 July 2003 00:58 (twenty years ago) link

Well I downloaded it but it has the copy-protection bleeps (I've never run accross these before) -- there's 12 hours down the drain. I hope it comes out on CD in the States eventually.

Anyway, I love it. Not sure yet how I would rank it next to Vocalcity but v. nice.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 1 August 2003 23:35 (twenty years ago) link

i saw luomo live less than a month ago. VD signed my ticket! He is immensly beautiful :)

If the promo is anything to go on, the new artwork for "Vocalcity" sucks bigtime.

surprised no one is talking about Plus. "Good Stuff" is on repeat here.

― skip, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:05 (twelve years ago) link

I talked about it a lot upthread. But "Good Stuff" is def. my least favourite track.

― Tim F, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link

Need to spend some time with Plus but I'm to afraid this guy is diminishing returns.

Diminishing returns? Vocal City > Convivial = The Present Lover > Plus >> Paper Tigers. No diminish returns, yet. Also Plus, Sistol, and to a lesser degree the Quartet show Sasu having fun with new ideas - even if the execution isn't always quite there.

― Jedmond, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:33 (twelve years ago) link

Latoma EP on echocord is pretty great.

― where is fake disneyworld (blank), Monday, 14 November 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link

I enjoy "Plus" a lot, "Spy" especially. Jedmond OTM.

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 14 November 2011 03:12 (twelve years ago) link

i'd put plus over convivial and TPL over both. vocal city on top, of course.

Tim F. is right, it has a very dense sound, it's kind of weird. Certainly worth your time, but don't expect to be blown away at first. Holding out hope that it gets better.

Dear listener,
To bring some emotional rescue in these difficult times we have released a 20th anniversary of Luomo "Vocalcity", remastered and with the original artwork again, triple vinyl in deep blue color. There's a limited edition 300 copies pressing available on Boomkat now.
Stay strong.

Damn, glad I saw this. I had no idea this was getting reissued. Is the blue version still available? I see the black on at Juno but the blue is gone at Boomkat.

An early internet search for Vocalcity was my first contact with ILM. It took me a lol of a long time to find site new answers. I swear that I thought ILM was just one thread (not this one, I don't think) about Luomo's Vocalcity for months after that.
