What's within the magic eye cover? I've never been able to see the hidden images in these things. Drives me nuts. :x

Look forward to hearing this mix from the J-man (who I keep seeing around the Spitalfields Marrket/Brick Lane area in the East End these days - one day I'll say hello)

Having listened to the track on Pitchfork I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with it. It doesn't seem to go anywhere at all. The original 11 monster has been neutered I feel.

Well, it's pretty much what I expected from a Spaceman remix. I agree that it's not very exciting, but I don't think that's the point.

I enjoyed it - it's obviously a lot more subtle than the original, but I love the vocals on it. It's almost like a chant, or something.

I agree - I think it sounds great! More inner-space than the original. All good. More please!

The not being able to see the magic eye thang reminds me of the scene in Mallrats with Silent Bob. I feel his anger.

Maybe if you've opened up your 3rd eye a little bit too much then you can't see it.

This might be me being daft, but do they work on a computer screen? Or do you need to see the physical object to get it?

I'm really liking it. Spaceman creates an atmosphere of sound just as Fuck buttons does; only difference being Jason's is better =P. It actually has tempo rather than some experimental sounding ambiance as what Fuck buttons does, which is still really good.

I got the green!

Here's the video for the song (the not remixed one). What a weird "music video".

This turned up on Saturday from ATP and have played it a few times now. But like a man with no teeth who has been served a roast pork dinner, I definitely would enjoy it a whole lot more without the crackling.

My 12" arrived today. Definitely the fastest shipping I've experienced from the UK.

While there was no tape over the package's flap, its self-adhesive-ness stayed strong and it was not exposed in my mailbox. Good job ATP!

Thanks for that Ben that's exactly what I did after reading this...

Even better that i'm able to see the 'magic image' within media player's icon for it.

Is that real fire...?

Cheers

I bought a copy of the vinyl (just for completeness) and to be honest I feel a bit burned (no pun intended). The remix isn't that good in my opinion. I'll have to give it a few more listens, but at present I wish I'd spent 79p rather than £7.
It's nice to be liked,
But it's better by far to get paid.

i got the yellow one. spinned thoughts about the blue one also, cuz there are no Spiritualized releases on blue vinyl. yellow is only featured on the mainline seven inch. if all this is wrong, then correct my memory. yellow is more accompanied with spectrum, not bad having yellowish spz stuff among that. anyway, to the fun part - so i opened the package and put the neddle down, but i did not check what speed i had on the record player. so, i let the vinyl go and step back to do other things. all starts well, but then after the main organ kicks in, it makes me think that this is so obviously too much like spacemen 3, even too-too close, so too that it again makes me think that this sounds like another lost recording by spacemen 3 (well, "flowers of hell" made me think the same - a lost recording by sp3). vinyl started to bug me, so i checked the speed and indeed it was slower than required, so thats why the organ was really heavy and reminded of "suicide" by sp3. and wait, there is more - so, i switched to the right speed, but also thought that i will record this single to burn for myself a bunch of tracks that i have recorder from vinyl. and you know what, The Editors remix by Jason makes a perfect blend into the "olympians" original version! i agree that there is not much going on in the "olympians" remix by Jason. many more twists and turns going on in the The Editors remix. i wonder, when jase thought to add the fire to the mix. did he thought, that his remix needed some extra juice or he had this idea already from the start. but no, no i don't want to know. just good to make up those questions.
