Also, I've only ever had the UK version and didn't realize it was that much different than the US. "The Spiderbite Song" ? Never heard of it... yeah, and the american release didn't get 'slow motion' for some reason, which is a shame cos that track is great. I also don't see the logic of ...

i see it as 3 eps too. what i find most interesting is that it seems to show more of kevin's creative process/progression than anything else. the first 3 seem pretty close to the loveless sound, the last 3 seem to be the more experimental stuff he talked about recording years later, and the middle 3...

I picked up the Boys Outside vinyl from E-Bay a while back for about a fiver but can't recall being that blown away by it tbh. Is this album more of the same and I'm just going to have to resign myself to not digging his solo stuff or is it reall that good that I should just go for it? the album fe...

I've now listened to "Angels Are Spirits, Flames Of Fire" by The Harmony Rockets, apparently recorded in Oslo in 2010. Oh my, it's wonderful. It's forty minutes long and sonically similar to "Paralyzed" so fans of that will definitely love this, but there's a lot more variety an...

In the "What Are Some Of Your Favourite Live Albums?" thread moop mentioned that Mercury Rev have put a 1992 gig and two new Harmony Rockets recordings on sale on their website (download only), among other things: http://shop.mercuryrev.com/releases.html/ I was so overjoyed to see this I ...

i noticed mercury rev just put a 'live at brixton 92' gig on their website along with a few other interesting recordings. Two appear to be live Harmony Rockets things.. i'm very interested except that they're only available in digital form, which i find annoying. Anyway, just thought they might be w...

acquired the first two albums, but only listened to about half of the first one. I see what you mean, *really* spacey production. and yeah the band seems to morph in styles between the floyd, roses and betas. there's a lot to each track so i look forward to it becoming a bit more familiar. thanks fo...

I highly recommend 'bitches brew'. It's essential Miles. It might take a few listens to click with, but it's worth it. I still haven't made it past disc 1 :oops: Someday i'll get around to trying those funkier Miles albums, but at the moment life's too short! I really can see your point with bitche...

I highly recommend 'bitches brew'. It's essential Miles. It might take a few listens to click with, but it's worth it. I'm also a big fan of the Agharta/Pangaea albums you mentioned.

The Blue Moods of Spain..

checked this out after it was mentioned on here and have been really enjoying it. has a really beautiful Acetone sort of vibe. Is it worth looking for any of their other stuff?

moop

I am looking forward to it immensely, but i hope it's not mastered ear-splittingly loud...... i dont hold much hope though. Ibuprofen ahoy! with dave fridmann producing it's likely to be mixed loud, but it seems as though it wont be as over-the-top as the previous few albums. I found this in an int...

I think A LOT of live albums have some studio post production. How many do you know that were recorded live, as is, without any overdubs OR without tape splicing (eg. several different shows assembled as one "live album")? Of course, they exist but If you omit those with studio edits/echo...

i'd much rather see a list of top 40 bootlegs. they're far more interesting than live albums. i mean, you only have to look at the grateful dead thread on here to see how important bootlegs can be to connecting with a band. and once the internet allowed boots to be shared with ease it made live albu...

They have played Forget The Swan most nights, but it seems Gargoyle took its place Friday. Yeah I'm just not as sold on the band as a whole, but i like them if that makes any sense ?

the acoustic guitar was going through a line 6 delay (that pedal is SO much fun to mess with, I've been seeing it at so many shows lately, but Ira's looked ancient and beaten up) they're great, but notorious for breaking down without warning. i guess that's the reason it's unusual to see an old one...

I was just wearing my Comet Chandelier Musings shirt last week. They played in my shop before we closed. From Texas.

Lips+rev but more shoegaxey? That sounds really cool. Will be investigating for sure. i can't imagine you won't like it. their other album (Shoulder Voices) and the Lotus Crown stuff is more like hard work, but Horsedrawn Wishes is an awesome blend of shoegaze and oddball melodic pop. I suppose thi...

i kinda feel like the name suits the band and their music. i think some of RSS played on David Baker's solo album World. it's pretty out there, but it's a missing link between the two bands. again, i love it. wikipedia confirms that you're right about jimi s. apparently he also went on to record wit...

rollerskate skinny - horsedrawn wishes unfortunate band name and cover art aside this is pretty great its like lips and mercury rev with more of a shoegazy slant i love that album.

hey that new track was fantastic! and yeah, you hit the nail on the head with pitchfork reviews.

it has a similar sound and feel to that of heathen. hopefully the new album has more echoes of that, because i thought that album was brilliant. the album's subject matter sounds promising, based on that artwork interview thing. looking forward to hearing more!

love it when stuff like that happens. i had something like that before when i was listening to one of Can's long, meandering tracks (i forget which) and it sort of drifted into something which sounded incredibly familiar. i think i ended up realising it was something David Holmes had sampled.

considering how chaotic the recording of Boces is said to have been, it sounds incredible. Lucky Dave Fridmann was in the band, i guess!
