Depends how much you like "Spirit of Eden" era Talk Talk really! If you do, then you'll like "Hex".

I do like "Spirit of Eden", "Hex" never made enough impression on me to ever play it more than a couple of times

Have you got "World of Echo" then, as I've been after a copy of that for years...

Yes I have a copy. No I cannot for the life of me work out why people go on about it so much - I blame Simon Reynolds.

Was that advance notice written by someone who's first langauge isn't English? It's horrendous.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 13 November 2003 18:44 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not so into Hex either, but the stuff before it was really amazing.

one month passes...

So an 8-track version of Dustsucker is available on SLSK, but is it actually the real deal? Aside from the four tracks (Miss Abuse, Inqb8r, Burning The City, 400 Winters) that have been around on the net for a while, the other four (which i've not downloaded yet) are all old titles - Tooled Up, Lazarus (Boymerang title), Bigshot remix, Reserve Shot Gunman. What's the deal? I can't fathom Graham spending ten years only to come up with four new tracks and a load of rare stuff stuck together? Has anyone got any information about this? Andy K? I've just emailed the PR about a review copy so I'll see what she says.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 2 January 2004 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

It's been a group release for about a month, and they don't mess around.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 3 January 2004 02:34 (twenty years ago) link

that 8-track version can't be the real deal. aside from the old BP stuff on it, the first track is actually boymerang. also, fire records have put up mp3s of two tracks not on it: "rose" and "shapeshifting."

― Andrew Calaman (Andrew Calaman), Saturday, 3 January 2004 02:51 (twenty years ago) link

You can stream those 2 new BP mp3s at : http://www.firerecords.com/audio.htm

the stuff on soulseek was kind of cool anyway though.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 3 February 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

I've heard all of those apart from tracks 1, 2 and 5. The PR people should be getting a copy out to me this week. Excited? You betcha by golly wow.

Official site says release date is "July 2004".

― bleuaswell, Monday, 19 April 2004 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah. Graham wasn't happy with the mastering so took it back and did it again. His PR lady (who is a very nice American woman) assures me review copies will be out soon. There's gonna be a limited 7" in June and the album in July, hopefully.

///Codename: Dustsucker is here.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Frankly I'm scared to listen even though I know most of it inside-out already.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure there's a weird answerphone message about "Shatner's Basoon" before track 8.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 13:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Is it here? Is it out yet? I can't see it anywhere online.

― Keith Watson (kmw), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 16:18 (nineteen years ago) link

GIVE TO ME.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 16:20 (nineteen years ago) link

one of only a handful of bands who have turned in a wire cover that doesn't make me want to drown blind baby pandas, so they'll do for me

― coco, Tuesday, 1 June 2004 16:37 (nineteen years ago) link

July 26th/27th is the release date. My promo arrived this morning, and I've had it on all day, basically. This is a very, very good record. It may even be better than Hex. I'll spend a couple more days with it and then get back to the PR and re-schedule the interview I've been planning with Graham for the last 8 months!

PS it looks like this;

Ooops, that's a bit large.

ha never mind. mp3 lame encoding joke. intepret as:

please encode this for me at the best quality possible, i'd love to hear it.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Various versions of songs (and even the whole album, almost) have been floating around SLSK for ages - Graham put them on there himself to see what happened!

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

some of them were boymerang tracks. ew.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 17:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah. Someone took four tracks that Graham leaked last summer and tacked them together with one Boymerang song and some other rare BP stuff, labelled it as the album and uploaded it. Most (all but the proper first track) of the proper LP has been up for a while, just not properly mixed and wotnot. Meaning that it misses the frankly bizarre answer phone message before track 8 that goes something like "What are you doing?! PLAYING ON YOUR SHATNER'S BASSOON?!" which I can only assume is a reference to Jam and Chris Morriss (Morriss used "Pendulum Man" in one skecth).

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 17:06 (nineteen years ago) link

"Better than Hex" has got to figure in a review title/pun thing.

― Keith Watson (kmw), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 18:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been totally thinking about that all day!

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 18:45 (nineteen years ago) link

A.D.I.D.A.H.

― Stacey Pollen (Andy K), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 18:46 (nineteen years ago) link

this seems to be on slsk

― t0ph, Tuesday, 1 June 2004 22:05 (nineteen years ago) link

"maybe even better than 'Hex'" so OTM
- only if O = off. or OT = "out tayrfreakin'" and M = "mind"

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 23:41 (nineteen years ago) link

and the finished release will be in a six-panel digipak.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

' "maybe even better than 'Hex'" so OTM '
so are you trying to say that it's DEFINITELY better than Hex?

― t0ph, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:08 (nineteen years ago) link

i am very nervous about listening to this.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:13 (nineteen years ago) link

but, hey, roll on disco inferno reunion album.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh man, that's a vision -- but somehow it really really really wouldn't be the same.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:14 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah it would probably just sound like the byrds anyway

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:15 (nineteen years ago) link

that crause solo-single was fairly...un-good

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:15 (nineteen years ago) link

No, here's how the Pitchfork review might begin: "This band now seems to be wanting to do what Wilco does better..."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:16 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, that's exactly what i meant.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:17 (nineteen years ago) link

< /sarcasm >

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 00:18 (nineteen years ago) link

what is the actual tracklisting of this? is it the one with shapeshifting and rose on it?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Tracklisting and times are as Andrew Calaman posted above. For convenience, here they are again;

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Although as you can see above, my CD player times it at 50:24.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:47 (nineteen years ago) link

why oh why are all the slsk leaks at 128? why oh why??????

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:48 (nineteen years ago) link

The stuff on slsk (that I've seen) isn't the fully mastered version anyway, and the version of "From What Is Said..." is totally different - the slsk leak one is about a minute long and instrumental. The proper release one is not. Now I know for sure that I've ripped it to my hard drive at 160kbs, but I also know that no one has downloaded it off me because I've hidden it (I ripped it for my iPod). What I don't know is how many other people got it off the PR yesterday, or whether Graham might leak it himself.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:50 (nineteen years ago) link

MP3s totally wont do this justice anyway, cos the first thing you lose with MP3 is space, and this record has a lot of space at certain points.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 06:51 (nineteen years ago) link

you are a killjoy, mr. I HAVE AN ADVANCE ON MY DESK man! We will have to suffer with our lossy lousy technology until next month...this comes out almost on my birthday, though. So that's one thing to look forward to as I stagger into middle age.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 07:08 (nineteen years ago) link

ehehehe... If it's any consolation I forgot to update my iPod before I left the house, so I've not got it with me today, and I was meant to be leaving work at 3pm but I now have to wait till 5pm, so I wont get to hear it again till, oooh, teatime.
