The new one os for sale on the FXHE website now. And it looks like he recently re-pressed 002 1/2 (the excellent vocal version of "U") and Compulation #1 (both out of print for while I believe) and also the wacky Kyle Hall one. With those three and the new one, my FXHE collection is complete. Yes!!! This whole record collecting thing is a lot like my baseball cards as a kid.

I'm hoping for mine today!
― matt2, Thursday, 7 August 2008 18:43 (fifteen years ago) link
I got mine too. What you think elan? It's another smash if you ask me. The sound sample doesn't even remotely capture its epic-ness.
In the first minute or so the left channel on mine cuts out/goes to static multiple times. Do I have a jacked-up copy or do you have the same issues?
― matt2, Friday, 8 August 2008 13:39 (fifteen years ago) link
i read some other people saying they had issues with the vinyl, too, but it was a bass-drum-too-loud issue. mine works. i love it! i like it so much better than psychotic photosynthesis, but it's definitely of the same seed. the melodies develop a little more here. i wish he would just go all out melodically in a maximalist style.

this might be the first record he did not at nsc and they might have fucked up the mastering.
― elan, Saturday, 30 August 2008 06:25 (fifteen years ago) link
the Luke Hess record is pretty ill, i think.
that said, i need to order a lot of this stuff, epecially the new jams. everything i hear is just "you need to hear this i am destroying me ears to it yessss"

well why not put together a cd of completely unreleased stuff if you feel its that strong? Housemates in fabric first so i'll still look forward to hearing it, i'd actually slept on his stuff until quite recently but been hammering whatever I can get my hands

he says in their press blurb that he wanted to keep some of his more recognized tracks on there for the people who haven't heard them. i feel like he is still widely slept on, hopefully this will change that! i can't believe he didn't put "just ask the lonely" on it though....

i was just playing devils advocate really, i love his stuff. Anyone spot the exclusive tracks? ive only a few of the singles and the compilation album
― straightola, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 10:16 (fifteen years ago) link
i think these the only exclusives. all of the others have definitely been released, but i don't know these:
01. Omar-S - Polycopter02. Omar-S - Flying Gorgars05. Omar-S - Crusin Conant08. Omar-S - 1 Out Of 853 Beats

i've no idea given that this is all new tro me. however, in the press release gubbins :
"there are about four tracks on there that haven't been released yet"
xpost. and there are the four listed !
― mark e, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 10:21 (fifteen years ago) link
he has a new 12" out on sound signature too. his first full 12" release that's not on FXHE i think?
― resolved, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 12:32 (fifteen years ago) link
is the fabric mix out?
― elan, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think so elan. According to the RA link above, "Fabric will release Fabric 45: Omar-S on March 16 in the UK and April 7 in the US." Do you have a review copy or something mark e or are you a Fabric subscriber?
― matt2, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i am looking forward to this fabric business so much. i love his ridiculously cocky persona, too... esp if the dude is actually dorky and nervous as someone hinted above

that new one on sound signature has a track called 'deep valve cover'. how detroit do you wanna get?

he's the best place to get his records from, at least if you're in america. great prices and he might call you to confirm the order and then you can talk about music and whatever.
― elan, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean, who else is selling eps for $5 and lps for $10 anymore?? it's fucking crazy. and free shipping if you buy more than $20. you can get four new singles for the same price as one or two anywhere else.

why is someone being macho/arrogant really so fascinating?
I like his music plenty but seriously, the jizzing over crankiness and narkiness that goes on in pop culture is a farce.
― Local Garda, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 20:03 (fifteen years ago) link
why is it crankiness and snarkiness? and who else talks like this on the record? the guy just doesn't give a fuck about what people think or do, he does his thing and does it ridiculously well. if that's not inspiring, i don't know what is.

my guess is you people wouldnt know soul in music if it smacked you in the face. if you think a frequency range or dynamic level has anything to do with soul, youre probably retarded
some of the most retarded things i have ever read in my entire life appear in this thread.
-- pipecock
when i say this same thing about house and techno music, people think that's not a valid viewpoint. the longer the knockoffs are around and the greater they are in numbers, the more they begin to write the popular opinion. which is of course pretty retarded.
disliking sugar ray is also just retarded, i wish they were still putting out a summer jam every year.
from djhistory
is it serious? i think its seriously retarded when people try to say they're from somewhere that theyre not so they can get some kind of credibility or something
am i supposed to care that my fashion sense isnt cool enough for ILM? hahahahaha. too funny. it's like being back in high school, but more retarded.

this album is like Moodymann for white music. not 100% wack, but pretty blandly inoffensive and not really very interesting to me. the fact that they take writing credit for it is pretty retarded too.
