I agree, and I loved HotJL.

Just in case I'm not the only not-in-the-know person:

Colette

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

this colette mix is killing me now as well...

is this available on vinyl worldwide?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

don't tell anybody but the rapture track is my least favorite...

:-(

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

the plink plong mix/intro into "baby it's you"....

sigh.

tonight i got the new rapture! hurrah!

(i haven't listened to it yet)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

the new album? ooh

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

it's a six-track sampler, actually.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

only heard "I Need Your Love" from the new Rapture so far, but it's fantabulous -- microhouse meets new wave. If the Kompakt comps continued to embrace pop along their current rate, this could be the opening track on Total 6.

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 17 April 2003 03:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah I Need Your Love is fucking super, I reckon it's going to be interesting seeing the different responses on either side of the Atlantic, to me it's peculiar because it starts off pretty housey and then the usual rent-a-diva is replaced by this hysterical lunatic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronan = 100% OTM. I was thinking the EXACT same thing this morning about "I Need Your Love." So the sampler has "I Need Your Love," "Olio," "House of Jealous Lovers" and three new tracks. And after three listens, I think those three new tracks are the best cuts on here. "Sister Savior" is funky disco-electro -- very laidback, smooth and the vocals are amazing. Unhurried, sassy and great. It's got those same keyboards as "I Need Your Love" along with the "HoJL" clangy guitars. "Killing" is maybe best described as punk-house. A heavy beat and a cutting guitar over a bass line that should be booming from a tricked-out Honda's trunk while two vocal lines weave in and out, intersect and mutate above it. Stunning stuff. The last song, "Heaven," is my favorite. It starts off with an acapella two-part harmony of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7/I'm floating in a constant heaven," and then kicks into a really, really funky, broken Gang of Four gait. Several times all the music drops out, returning to that opening refrain. It's like Queen meets Gang of Four!!! It's killing me. A good remix of this (it's the least dancey of the cuts) could be the song of the year.

Collette is a lifestyle store in France. their CDs are notoriously limited, but they sell them at the shop. it's not a promo. I think other music had [have?] some of the new ones [2 many DJs, DFA]. My company [forced exposure] is looking to import some but Collette, for good reason, is reluctant to give up their 'buy it from us' exclusivity.

did you check the Ceramic Hulk on Collette? thing is massive!

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Colette is spelled with one "l" heh.

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

come to think of it, I think the only place I've seen the Colette cds is at Colette itself...that would be great if fe got some in stock.

― disco stu (disco stu), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Other Music in NYC carries the Colette discs. $36 a pop.

Life must be awesome.

Life was meant to be awesome.

Hey Yancey, is that the complete tracklisting?

I got another DFA package last night -- another copy of the Black Dice 12", and a split Rapture-Juan Maclean 12". The Rapture track is "Killing," which is on Echoes, but the Juan Maclean song, called "Give Me Every Little Thing," is fantastic -- very New Ordery with really good, half-chanted sinister vocals. I'm digging this song A LOT.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:35 (twenty years ago) link

YANC3Y HAVE YOU EVER HEARD "COKE AND MIRRORS" BY SIX FINGER SATELLITE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:44 (twenty years ago) link

YES I HAVE GYGAX! WHY DO U ASK?

I have four or five SFS records, though I rarely listen to them anymore.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:46 (twenty years ago) link

THE CHINESE STARS R GOOD

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

Send me your spare copy of the remix 12", plz.

― Ian Johnson (elmo oxygen), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:50 (twenty years ago) link

I was really into By The Time I Get To Venus by the Juan Maclean, alot more than the first big song whose name escapes me.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:25 (twenty years ago) link

So Black Dice:

Catsup Plate 12" (repackaged Tigerbeat6 3")
Eye Remix 12"
Cone Toaster 12" (With Eye)
New LP (with Eye?)

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

YANC3Y BTW IT'S 6FS NOT SFS

JON WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THEY ARE ON TOUR WITH THE LOCUST SOON

IAN NO WAY YANC3Y ME FIRST PLEASE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

GYGAX! I ALREADY GAVE YOU A COPY I THOUGHT?

SORRY FOR THE MISACRONYMING GYGAX! I WILL NOW BEAT MYSELF SILLY (BMS)!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

I also wish the Rapture would start flinging around tracks for remixes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

When I first heard "I Need Your Love" I thought it was a remix. Rapture songs are remixes to START WITH considering how the DFA works... But yeah, I know what you mean, Ronan.

The beat and bassline from the new Juan Maclean song are very fucking close to ODB's "Got Your Money."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty years ago) link

So the new annoying comparison: the Liars produced by the Neptunes.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty years ago) link

the new black dice lp is produced by the dfa, no eye involved as far as i know.
"give me..." rules!!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:39 (twenty years ago) link

oh, and so far there are finished rapture remixes by maurice fulton and the ends.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:40 (twenty years ago) link

the cindy adams of ny rock, everyone! kisses to lauren, as always.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

LCD's "Tribulations" is great! Proper weedy indie-dance, num num!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:48 (twenty years ago) link

and speaking of dfa things, is anyone going to be at the lcd show at fabric tonight? i'll be there - look for the drunk american girl. no one else in london fits that description, right?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:51 (twenty years ago) link

"drunk smartass american girl"

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:56 (twenty years ago) link

yanc3y,

you sent me a rip (and indexed, weee!) copy of the dfa colette No5 mix and a negroclash mix (which you identified with BALL POINT FUCKING PEN = skippy disc). yes, i am still in debt to you. how about huff for sweeney?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:00 (twenty years ago) link

fuck! sorry about the negroclash mix. i will send you another, with other goodies *cough*cough*

AUBREY HUFF STAYS PUT!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

that's ms. drunk smartass american girl to you, gygax. i'd be a bit more polite to the holder of a copy of "twinkle echo" if i were you.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

Yanc3y, fyi: i like maui wowie or kona gold.

ms. lauren, you have my full undivided attention.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

Is Echoes pretty easy to come across on Soulseek? I'd like to hear it, but getting Soulseek to work on a Mac looks like a pain (and thus prefer not to waste time)?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:53 (twenty years ago) link

I'm still waiting to see if I'll get this one. Tom's spot-on about the LCD track, in my opinion. I'm liking LCD stuff about a thousand times better than the Rapture.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:57 (twenty years ago) link

I just can't believe how long the Rapture/their label(s) have taken to put out an album. Seems like they really missed the boat on that dance/funk/disco-punk thing, as well as the "House of Jealous Lovers" hype.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

So there's gonna be a grime remix of the rapture?!?! HEAVY

― sean g, Saturday, 12 July 2003 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

maurice fulton remixed the rapture?! allRIIIIIGHT now we're talking - that MU single is brainmelting

i can see how murphy finding out holy ghost had left might have been a big sign to him that something was going wrong and made him pay attention to the label for the first time in a decade

with goldsworthy it sounds like he was just as hands off with the label as murphy from 2007 onwards and then stopped working as a production duo with murphy from around 2009 before they completely fell out sometime around 2013. so them stopping working together in 2009 just left dfa as murphy & the label operating with little to do with each other

― ufo, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 04:03 (two years ago) link

Seems like Murphy was trying to say without saying that Holy Ghost was asking for their masters back because they weren't getting paid vs. Galkin framing it as a labor of love situation?

― papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 04:57 (two years ago) link

idk that it's possible to read that much into it, i didn't get the impression from either of them that the finances were quite that bad at that point

i searched to see what holy ghost had to say about leaving dfa and they just said they knew they didn't want to stay with dfa and reached out to a friend at bmg about reviving west end records bc that was their "dream label" and got a deal very easily. they said "we wanted to get a jump", idk if that just means they wanted a boost in profile or resources that dfa couldn't give them, or what

― ufo, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 05:42 (two years ago) link

enjoyed how snarky each got about the other. Galkin getting in how he didn't even like American Dream and Murphy about coffee mugs and tee weekly emails. haha both are accurate for me.

yeah they coulda just done these interviews two years earlier and carried on as usual, without raising the slightest controversy
