Chavanvah is the usual misspelling I see, probably because of the unusual 'w' in the font. Anyway, I found a copy of the newly re-released Isness & Otherness in HMV yesterday. In a jewel case, with very slightly updated artwork (different font, and the twiney trim around the outside of the cover...

I went to Coachella in 2004 because they were meant to be playing... sadly the festival 'confirmed' it before the band had properly decided and obviously it never happened...
Beck was good, though.

Will get a copy of this within the next week or so, once I have a bit of spare money.

It's the same as The Altogether and Blue, they just sound so flat and... kind of anonymous. It's why Stringy Acid stands out (forgot that one last time), as it has all of those old school acid sounds in. Having some warm analogue or acoustic sounds in there is really important unless it's (relativel...

Ah. I've heard the whole thing and it still sounds like shite to me. Distractions sounds like the backing track to some pop-urban track, stuff like Straight Sun sounds like the kind of thing I stumble across on Soundcloud made by some kid who's been using Reason for a couple of months... the first t...

I haven't heard of that happening (mind you, I don't think I've noticed anybody mention they have the Psychobaby pressing). Maybe worth emailing the label to see if it's a common problem?

Not a bad one this - I've had an MP3 of it for quite a while. Like you say, not a drastic reworking, just a slight alteration. Hardly essential but fairly respectful of the original, which is better than... well, most of the fan remixes that turn up.

received my eagerly awaited Environments 4 CD in the US today, and to my horror the CD case was crushed inside the package, and back sleeve was torn :( Shit. :( That's awful. Can you get some compensation from the postal service? I hope the disc played ok! And yeah, within a few hours of the album ...

Their own creation, I believe. I love the way in the 90s they had a whole world with recurring phrases, characters and images.

Probably not. Although it'll take the surprise away, I think it might be nice for them to advertise the bonus track on the website as it'll encourage more people to buy direct.

Accelerator gone.

I'm trying to make space, make moving house easier and generally get rid of stuff that I never, ever play. Anybody want these? My Kingdom 2 track promo CD (Media Mix, Part 4): http://www.discogs.com/Future-Sound-Of-London-My-Kingdom/release/97760" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...

MP3s ripped in iTunes play perfectly in iTunes (which is why I didn't notice this issue on Safernoc and my remix album), but I've heard about these clicks from a few people now. I'll make sure somebody reads this.

Plough is incredible. Why wasn't this on the album in place of Fibrillation?! Beautiful stuff.

edit: Bonus track will come to those who bought the CD from FSOLDigital too apparently. Panic averted.
