Hi,

I have found out that all of us who have been trawling through used bins for "D I Goes Pop," "Technicolour," "69," and "I" can get up off of dirty floors in subterranean rat holes since One Little Indian US is expanding its US distribution.

Yay, I say.

By the way, I am not spamming. I have no connexion to One Little Indian. I just want to share my joy. Is that so wrong? Ned'll have my back, I'm sure.

Ned, Ned. Come back!

I guess this is where we thank Bjork for helping to fund this indirectly... or something.

Excellent. Now if only Alex + Rudi would get back to working together again as AR Kane. They recorded a track together on Alex's last solo record but that doesn't really count.

very cool. i haven't heard '69' in many years

― kephm, Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't see what was special about AR Kane. Disco Inferno though, great news!

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yay, i'll be buying the ar kane albums on the day of release... wonder if they disco inferno ones will have any bonus tracks?

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

haha yeah this WOULD happen just as i have tracked down about everything

You're fired. (Anyway, of course it's good news, etc.)

Alex and Rudi getting back together would be a very bad thing indeed if New Clear Child is anything to go by.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

am i the ONLY one who likes new clear child?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't *mind* it but...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i listen to it the most these days

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

it's got a certain afro-futurist chuck mangione charm

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, you can still find "D.I. Go Pop" the album pretty easily in the used bins. I'm just excited because I can finally get "Technicolour".

Big question: THE ROUGH TRADE SINGLES! What of them?

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope the DI albums are remastered.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

iain crause must be the grumpiest man alive, from the stories i've heard

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

NCC not the worst record ever made or anything, but it's hardly in the same class as their earlier stuff. I don't think I've played it more than five or six times in the god knows how many years I've owned it.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Remastering = yeah, right. One Little Indian have treated their Rough Trade inherited back catalogue like shit so far, why change now?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

That Technicolor even came out at all was a bloody miracle.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I want bonus tracks from the AR Kane EPs!!!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I promise to give 'i' a better listen. maybe it's a case of not hearing it at the time of release, and it being influential enough that it just doesn't strike me as very distinctive.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Do Disco Inferno really need remastering? The records sound fine to me.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Di Go Pop and the early eps could use it.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Why? I think they're sonically quite amazing as they stand now. I mean, it's just delayed guitar, bass, a sampler, and grumpy lyrics. How much more can you remaster that and make it sound better?

Now, if someone would reissue the Supercollider albums, then the world will finally be healed.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Although "From The Devil..." sounds a bit buried... but that's just one song.. then again, even the buried sound of that song kinda gives it a flare.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the levels are kind of low, and yeah, they sound a little muddied. I think an attempt to remaster them would be nice if they're going to be re-released.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I would agree that "In Debt" could use a refresh. But I think Rocket Girl now owns all the rights to all the Cheree-released Disco Inferno, which includes everything up until and including "Summer's Last Sound", so a remaster of THAT stuff might be in the works!

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a bit baffled by this talk of muddiness. My vinyl copy of DI Go Pop is supercrisp sounding, even after the hundreds of plays it's had.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

the vinyl copies probably sound okay, I think the cd sounds kind of funny though. maybe it's my bad ears.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Vinita has been thinking about it still -- it's up to her to decide!

I'm a bit baffled by this talk of muddiness.

Yeah, I was about to say.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow. Suddenly I'm glad I didn't spend £25 on DI Go Pop on ebay...
