A Global reissue: Is it out of the question?
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:23 am
As a fan of FSOL, Humanoid, and the various other Gaz & Brian aliases with a particular proclivity for their "dance music"-oriented works, I would love to see Humanoid's Global be reissued at some point. I know that most of the material on the original album wasn't released completely at Brian's will (with some of the songs being done by Peter Black at the behest of Morgan Khan), but I'd kill to have a legitimate copy of Crystals on CD or FLAC (such a beautiful track). Such a release would be especially compelling if it included tracks from Brian's original tracklist for the album (i.e. Fat Freddy, Cobain-vocal Tonight), and if these recordings exist somewhere within the vast FSOL archive it could be a unique opportunity for fans to be able to hear Brian's original vision for what the album could have been. The original CD is so rare (and expensive second-hand) that I would buy an official reissue of the album in a heartbeat.
Anyway, that's just my two cents. Anyone else have any thoughts?
