Break out the strawberry wine, the "Glider" EP is 20 years old this month.

I still recall the moment I first heard "Soon".

^

The first one I heard was "The Andrew Weatherall Remix"

i just listened to glider this afternoon without realizing that i was celebrating an anniversary. will likely break out tremolo later.

they have a new album

This thread is a reissue

i'm just assuming this means they're putting mbv on streaming/maybe reissuing it bc it's out of print, not gonna get my hopes up for anything else

Did anyone buy it on vinyl? Was the pressing good?

To complicate matters:

Did anyone buy it on vinyl? Was the pressing good?

the pressing was ok. unfortunately, by the time it arrived at my doorstep, the cover/gatefold had tears and rips in two different places, and a skin on the first track. i love m b v but i will be waiting until i can buy a copy at my local store

a SKIP on the first track

They're finally posting the video for Only Tomorrow that took 8 years to make.

xpost to Ned:

I know he's a fan, but what the?

Sopranos/MBV crossover?

Actually wouldn't it be something if they were somehow doing the soundtrack to Chase's prequel film?

Hmm. The fact that Imperioli is in on the inside info certainly brings a new twist, which makes me feel like it's not just a repressing/reissue of m b v. Intriguing, to be sure.

they are signed to domino

my guess is reissues/mbv on streaming and a new release later in the year

Which makes sense, for sure. The Imperioli connection just throws me a little. I know he's a megafan, but still.

anything from the MBV camp would be terrific, although i am not sure i want kevin to get too distracted by soundtrack work! the new music exists- you can hear studio version of 'new song 2' at the end of this

fingers crossed there's new material on the way too and it's not just announcing that domino is putting everything up on streaming (their discog is currently unavailable everywhere except north america) & probably reissues

the streaming & signed to domino bit is already confirmed: https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBloodyValentine/comments/mf2gs1/mbv_ad_on_german_spotify_europe_where_all_the/

most exciting part of that

Recently Andy produced, engineered and mixed the critically lauded debut record for BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD, ‘For the first time’. He has also been co-producing and mixing for Domino Records signings SORRY, producing and mixing singles for LADYBIRD, PUREST and JOAN as well as the latest EP by Brighton band FUR. He has also been recording the new album for MY BLOODY VALENTINE and worked with KEVIN SHIELDS on remastering ‘loveless’ and ‘isn’t anything’ for Vinyl. He mixed for another Domino records signing PETER PERRET, Brighton band DREAM WIFE as well as the debut album for Memphis Industries MUSH. Plus he added production and mixed LIZ LAWRENCE’S pity party album.

All right, that pity party album uh wait

relistening to isn’t anything, loveless, the eps comp, and m b v a lot lately, remembering this is the best band ever

Didn't everything just get reissued a couple years ago, including EPs collection? Or have I just completely lost track of time?

try almost ten years ago! May 2012

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

there is someone on the mbv reddit who a few days ago correctly predicted that there'd be something today and is now saying they've heard new material is coming august/september in addition to whatever re-releases are coming on wednesday. don't want to get my hopes up too much though lol

lmao if another new my bloody valentine album comes out before the wrens album

Well the Avalanches started releasing records at a faster pace so maybe Kevin's all "Oh yeah, should start doing more here."

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

Yeah, but them shits is long goooone.

I remember back in the day that Kev made noises about the CDs being the most accurate rendition of Loveless, refused to send promos on cassette I think. I believe the unique thing about the 2018 vinyl was that they reassembled the track segues from the original analogue elements because it’d all been done in the digital domain originally.

Nice to see that Kevin, on top of a load of cables on his vast and beautiful mixing console, has the same cheapo Tandy SPL meter that I've had for the last 25 years :)

This has made me look up SPL meter. So I've almost learned something, though oddly I can't see one in the video above.

Looking forward to whatever is coming, but dear god Kevin sort out the barnet mate.

though oddly I can't see one in the video above

Between 0:46 and 0:48, bottom right-hand corner, during one of the annoying "filmed on Super-8 in the '70s" filtered segments. Just jumped out at me.

does "What You Want" count? it's the least listened to track on Loveless via Spotify.

it's tough to call anything on Loveless a deep cut, but to me, it's my very favorite song of theirs and represents so much of what they do incredibly well, at the peak of their powers, all in the same song

its become one of my favs on loveless. "to here knows when" is still my #1 but "loomer and "wyw" are in the top 3 of loveless.

“When You Wake…” and “Touched” are my #1 and #2, respectively

I’d say all of Tremolo EP

Had a listen to Wonder II on the back of that list and nope still no good.

They cleaned up the Only Shallow video

I’d say all of Tremolo EP

Except for "Moon Song". I never liked Kevin's vocals on it.

I always considered "Lose My Breath" top-tier MBV, and always assumed that was an opinion shared by many fans. But maybe not?

Lose My Breath is easily my favorite MBV song.

"This is just an excerpt from their set which was a constant battle between the band and the soundman.... mbv won in the end with this brutal 15-minute version of Clair."
