yeah, neither had I! Big mistake on my part though, 'cause at least the other night, it really hit the spot. It's got a lot of the instrumental/experimental pieces plunked down right in the middle of the tracklist, so it's an oddly flowing record. It's got a bunch of the proto-Sonic Youthy drone/strum-two-guitars-for-a-couple-minutes bits too..

I just ordered the reissues...the tapes are sitting in my mom's garage (along with a ton of other awesome/not so awesome tapes)...its been a long time. I want to be in a band that sounds just like them.

any takers?

I picked up the Electric Warrior Sessions double cd from my public library last weekend. Went to a cafe and glanced at the liner notes and read Nikki's essay about Marc's influence on his life. I may or may not get around to listening to the discs.

Has anybody heard the Secretly Canadian remasters? I finally got the Mute Marineville at Xmas and I don't think it has been remastered in decades. Just thought I'd grab it while it was at hand relatively cheaply.
So would be interested in finding out if I am missing out on a great deal with the sound on those Secretly Canadian versions. Just don't seem to be very easily come by.
Was hoping thread revival might be word of new reissues or something.
