new music/rare music
by Matt SchIeffer 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

After this Plaid topic reminded me and when I was listening to IDM.com I've notices some rare music I need to get. First of all is Plaid scoobs in columbia / fly wings. If anyone knows about that let me know where to find and if its worth it. I broke down and got the 3/4 digital d/l of Plaid "Booc" from bleep.com and was pleased. What I'm really after is this darn Boards of Canada "A few old tunes" album.. or as much of it as possible. I heard that Mukinabaht and Sir Prance Alot on shoutcast and was blown away. God dang if that album isn't a double disc as well as showing up in a few different versions, one being complete and one sorta hacked up. Anybody have any suggestions? I heard that soulseek has the first disc, but I'm not gonna try for it unless someone i know has got it in entirety.

I missed a covert Plaid thread? I know you all disguised it as a t-shirt thread cuz I'm such a fanatical Plaid fan I can't be trusted to have casual conversation. I have a black dog question though. I keep seeing those homeade looking CD's on called "the temple of transparent balls" and something else. Are those any good? I also saw that unsavoury products with Jim Cauty and still haven't purchased it. I'm not sure if I like new Black Dog. I can't believe listees don't like the Plaid/Bjork songs. All Is Full of Love the one you hated? Get 'Just for Threes" and check out the variety on there...

So does anyone know what the source of the tracks on this set (promo or bootleg aside) are? Is there a 54 minute studio version AHEGPBTRFTCOTU? Or are these all live tracks? If so, do the playing times match up with known live recordings?

That Emit site looks pretty cool but I couldn't get it to work at all. Clicking on the text links did nothing and the icons are pretty much meaningless. There is a fine balance between design and functionality and that site is lying on the ground moaning. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com or http://www.ifpr.homestead.com until we get things working ____________________ 25% of the world's prison population is in US prisons.

I don't think it's enhanced, at least it doesn't say enhanced CD on the back of it or anywhere else. From what I can tell it is identical to the UK version except it doesn't come with the pointless slipcase (does anyone else think those things are the biggest waste of paper ever?). Listened to it tonight at work, it's not bad, I still think it's a big improvement over the Japanese version. >From: "bla blazo" <m111j(a)hotmail.com> >Reply-To: What were the skies like when you were >young?<orb(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: [Orb] US B&T >Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 17:29:14 -0500 > > >>enhanced CDs usually go interactive once inserting it >>into a PC. did it do that? just curious. >> >>still at work in the West. > >Hey Rene, > >I didn't know it was an enhanced CD.

US B&T
by bla blazo 13 Jul '04

13 Jul '04

I think today is the release date for the US version of B&T - although pitchfork website says it's due out on August 3rd so maybe I have the UK version?? I went to Tower Records today and saw about five or six copies and none of them said "import" so I think it's the US version. The cover has a brownish tinge to it so it was easy to distinguish it from the Japanese version. Just listened to the first two tracks on the way back to work. I'm glad they chose not to start the album with that stupid "From a Distance" song. I wish they would've dropped Gee Strings. I've said it before and I'll say it again now - worst orb track ever!!! Man, do I hate that track. I'm curious to give it a full listen to see if I like it better than the japanese one. Also picked up "rest proof clockwork" by plaid. I've never heard one note of plaid's work and I picked this up soley on the opinions I've read on this list. I have a gut feeling I'll like it. Can't wait to get in the proper state of consciousness tonight and give it a listen. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Get fast, reliable Internet access with MSN 9 Dial-up now 2 months FREE! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/

What's wrong with this Richard D James pic?
by Matt SchIeffer 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Actually. Its not Richard James, but Dirty Preston (the sidekick of Har Mar)'s girlfriend. It reminds me of windowlicker though. See if you can tell if it was shot that way or is post production. http://www.dirtypreston.com/yuckatocious.gif The worm turns, the wind shifts one-eighty, and the firestorm turns back on the arsonists, who had been operating with impunity for so long that they'd forgotten the feeling of Heat. -From the book Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S.
