I watched 'Deadly Harvest' a year or so back, 70s Canadian science fiction tv film about the world's food supplies failing from global cooling over the coarse of red years and the resulting small town food riots. I will watch any 70s science fiction film regardless of quality, but seeing John Mills-Cockell's pop up as the composer during the credits made me yell out loud. Score was cheesy with the occasional demented dissonance, there's a queue for a scene where the hero is driving his truck through abandoned cities for two minutes where the editing is so incoherent and the music is so over the top inappropriate, it becomes something worth seeing

I checked out the two Syrinx records once; way more traditional. Some odd electronic moments. Should listen again.

'Red years' / two years

Autocorrect changed a slightly misspelled attempt at 'cuddling' to the word 'fucking' on a friend of mine last night, our phones are getting so bored with us

i enjoy the syrinx records but have never felt they were...essential? good though and worth hearing.

xxp - uh, could you please edit/googleproof/remove the name of that place that is an underground venue? We're in "better to be safe than sorry" mode.

'why u break heart all time' nothing but a mass of missing images and not the magic fulfillment of all internet promises.

two months pass...

anyone get that box set? either on CD or vinyl? window is closing on whether or not to invest and I'm curious about how good that booklet is

Milton Parker, Thursday, 4 February 2016 19:37 (eight years ago) link

i made an impulse purchase of the vinyl box but haven't opened it yet.

scott seward, Thursday, 4 February 2016 19:57 (eight years ago) link

my friends at mystery train in amherst had one. couldn't resist. if i had never seen it in a store i never would have ordered it online.

scott seward, Thursday, 4 February 2016 19:58 (eight years ago) link

waiting for a day when i can listen to/read the whole thing.

scott seward, Thursday, 4 February 2016 19:59 (eight years ago) link

vinyl sounds excellent, to my relief after reading yr posts here, although there is maybe this teeny tiny weird surface noise in the background? they used a reel safety master for FPPI and maybe those artifacts are what I'm hearing. I did an A/B comparison with my original copy once but that's all I got right now. I never heard the Streamline CD.

Booklet is essential, if the only thing that was holding you back was pressing quality concerns I would go for it if booklet size is important to you. there's definitely a lot of full-page images and reproductions that seem like they would lose something in a CD booklet (I have not seen the CD box, though).

I'll try to add more about the book later tonight.

the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Thursday, 4 February 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link

please do!

as a teenager I remember thinking I didn't even want to know more about Faust because it would ruin the music, and then the Wumme booklet & the 2006 CD liner notes for 'So Far' came out and the stories only made the music that much more amazing & I'm thinking it'd probably be much the same with this band

Milton Parker, Thursday, 4 February 2016 21:00 (eight years ago) link

This was available on CD?

The Robustness of Captchas (Tom D.), Thursday, 4 February 2016 21:29 (eight years ago) link

yeah, it's not listed on Discogs yet but a CD version was released after the vinyl:

Just checked, they have the CD on Amazon.

agreed, and there are a lot of color images in the book too! also a facsimile reprint of a smaller zine is included separately, and the otherwordly music speaks for itself

the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Monday, 8 February 2016 01:26 (eight years ago) link

oh wow this is on apple music

five months pass...

they walk and walk and finally they walk right out of the city

this is the pastoral part of the story

they are walking in the plastic fields and they are young and happy

everywhere they look it is beautiful

two years pass...
