Mesmerised
I finally bought this on a record excursion the other week. It's nice! - surprisingly intricate and melodic. Who knew? Hats off to Mr Kember.

Is that the one with the tracks "Feedback" going into "Then I just drifted away" can't remember as I'm at work so can't check. think it is though, two great tracks from Pete and a sorely over looked record, better than Soul kiss IMHO.

Ahhh that makes sense then. I've got Mesmerise but can't remember anything about it. was this when he ditched the tunes in favour of drones...damn my memory is so bad these days.

I've seen Mesmerised on vinyl, even recently, though not often, and less so since about 2000. Not sure how rare it is. Probably not very as far as Kember vinyl goes.
I have a budget (possibly bootleg) vinyl version of Coltrane's Lush Life probably from the 70s that says, in bold print on the back, "APPROXIMATE PLAYING TIME 60 MIN." Lush Life is 36 minutes long. Now that's approximate!
To say nothing of the forty seconds Jason had to add to LAGWAFIS to make the label copy ("70 minutes") accurate. Even so, he overshot it, and ended up with 70:02!

Who Knew?
Lots know. Many have told. 26 always dismisses.
After years of having to read you shit bagging on Sonic's work, I'm glad that you finally gave it a listen and even admit to liking it. That's very big of you.
You want intricate and melodic? Vibrations and Continuum are the most accessible, in my opinion. For you... it may take another decade or two.
BTW-- The vinyl and even the CD are pretty rare. I've seen the cd go for $50 on ebay. SpaceAge was intending to rerelease but those guys have better things to do (not).

In fact it looks to me like the EAR albums (many of which are on Sympathy, which has international distribution) are much easier to find than the Spectrum albums, even Forever Alien, which was on Reprise.
Re: Mesmerised
Mesmerised has been re issued by Space Age with new artwork. Same four tracks as original cd though:

Fantastic album. If you don't already have it you should definitely pick up a copy.

Re: Mesmerised
I'd say the split with Julie's Haircut is the best work sonic did, but then again it's a split.

Re: Mesmerised
I already have this one, but I ordered it again for the ' transparent acetate artwork '. Now, I need to replace my ' Continuum ' cd (the one with multi-color jewel box), it got crushed during a move ...

I think that "feedback" off Highs, Lows....is a tune off of Phenomina 256..or a shorter version of.

Re: Mesmerised
Just bought a copy from Spaceage...never heard anything by EAR so not sure what to expect really. On a side note, what are the chances of Spaceage re-releasing High, Lows and Heavenly Blows? I'm having a nightmare trying to get hold of it.

If you liked Spectrum's "Soul Kiss Glide Divine" i'd be surprised if you don't like Mesmerised. My favourite EAR album by a distance.Ads wrote:Just bought a copy from Spaceage...never heard anything by EAR so not sure what to expect really.

Re: Mesmerised
yeah, i ordered a copy the other day, really looking forward to listening to it. the only other EAR i've heard is phenomena 256 which sent me on a really bad trip.
i asked Pete via email about this about 3 years ago, he said he was hoping soul kiss and highs and lows were to be reissued but since then......Ads wrote: what are the chances of Spaceage re-releasing High, Lows and Heavenly Blows? I'm having a nightmare trying to get hold of it.
