Bassman writes about making the album. It's a great record - I wish it could have been better.https://petespacemanbassman.wordpress.com/2015/12/10/all-that-noise/

Dispiriting read but starcrossed seems to be the nature of everything in the orbit of Sp3 that's not the two main guys (and even then).
So did the Acid Ray shop restart?

Maybe a Bandcamp page, Pete, if you're reading.

Yeah I was thinking that as a logical backup.

That would be awesome if he put all the demos and unreleased Darkside stuff on Bandcamp!

I ordered my copy from Rosco direct (msg him on Facebook). Can't wait!

wow, that looks great! is there a non-facebook method of buying a copy?
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Friday, 6 October 2017 02:12 (six years ago) link
So great! Will look into it for sure.

And per Facebook seems like he's chilling in Mexico right now

Is disc 2 the alternate version of All That Noise he talked about in 2007? wowee

Anyone get this box yet? Wondering if the extras make it a worthwhile purchase if one already has the albums and Mayhem EP.

I just got it in the mail yesterday! Haven't had a chance to open it yet.

Kept trying to order it from the man himself but apparently he had trouble with PayPal.

kinda disappointing they didn't put the Highrise Love 12" on there, there's plenty of room on disc 4
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 23:16 (six years ago) link
I think the Nick Hayden-sung tracks are non grata at this point.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 9 December 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link
ah, didn't know that 12" was a sore point for the band
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 9 December 2017 22:10 (six years ago) link
Maybe less sore point and more, uh... different band. Sorta how MBV sees their early stuff.

that aside, I've been listening to the "alt mix" of All That Noise that comprises most of disc 2, and it's pretty damn good. warmer, more guitar forward and fuzzed out. has a nice galaxie 500 vibe. also cuts out don't stop the rain and sweet vibrations, which knocks the length down to a nicer 36 minutes. I bet it sounds amazing on headphones.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Sunday, 10 December 2017 06:31 (six years ago) link
also while most of the tracks are called alt mixes, they seem to be different recordings. there's no information in the liner notes (there aren't any liner notes) so I dunno

eight years later (see above), waiting for the angels is still A JAM.

I am the bass player of The Darkside again and God willing we will make a new album and play live.

woohoo! the remixed All That Noise is glorious
