MAW did a great mix of Only Love Can Break Your Heart.

I hope Nice Price is good. Just picked that one up! A better version of Heart Failed? C'mon now.
― kraudive, Tuesday, 28 November 2017 18:28 (six years ago) link
That reminds me, the Two Lone Swordsmen / Weatherall mix of Heart Failed is pretty damn good.

Love the remix disc of Words and Music - the first 7 or 8 tracks are all great.
Older remixes I like:Cool Kids of Death (Underworld mix)The Sea (PFM mix)Angel (Broadcast mix)He's on the Phone (Motiv-8 mix)

received the Nice Price/I Love To Paint twofer in the mail yesterday. I suppose I'll have to pull the trigger on any other future fanclub vinyl reissues as well...

So, coming through on an American tour celebrating Good Humour, could be fun:

wasn't that the time of their lowest American profile? If so, sweet irony.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link
Yes and no -- this came out on Sub Pop and I think there are a lot of American lifers who got on board then specifically.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 14:49 (five years ago) link
Too bad no Seattle stop. We got shows for Good Humour and the Places to Visit EP back in the day (not counting later tours). Like Ned says, was aware of them prior, but jumped aboard fully with GH.

i missed them last time they were here and i love good humor so i guess it's time
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link
I do remember Rob Sheffield's contemporaneous RS review of the album.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 15:09 (five years ago) link
I got onboard w/Good Humor, that's an album that has a great deal of meaning to me. when i first heard it, it changed my life w/r/t the music i would seek out in the future.
― omar little, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link
this is like my least fav album but I still bought presale tickets and am going to have an incredible time

that is a tiny room for them in SF. amazing. can't wait.
― akm, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
Good Humour is when they first started to get boring to me. Album is decent but it could be anyone. At the time it seemed like an attempt to sell-out that didn’t work.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
Tiny but the turnout at the Fillmore was far from a sellout. Still, it would be a bit crowded maybe; I could have easily seen them playing August Hall (saw Marr there a couple of nights ago, good venue).
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 22:00 (five years ago) link
Are they bringing along a full band for this? Not that I’ll get to see them.
― sciatica, Wednesday, 6 June 2018 22:21 (five years ago) link
sarah cracknell: “I’m so looking forwarded to touring Good Humor this autumn with our fabulous live band! I think it’s the best live line up we’ve ever had. Drummer Mike, the amazing Bennett brothers, Gerard Johnson and of course Debsey will really bring the album to life and add a certain je ne sais quoi!”
― lowercase (eric), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 22:27 (five years ago) link
a weekend in SF to see them at the Chapel would be pretty good... hmm

new 5-track EP entitled 'Surrey' incoming.

EP cover typeface is in the 'Home Counties' style, which makes me a lil nervous bc I'm sorta over this 'era' lol

Anyone been to the American shows so far? Wondering if I'll be able to pick up more than two copies of the American-only CDs...

I'm guessing they'll be on the webshop eventually
― Mark G, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link
Mondo Casino isn't being sold at the US shows, it apparently didn't get pressed in time. Instead, you can pick up a certificate that you can use to purchase through the mail.

once dot Allison dropped the beats and went acoustic on '7 1/2' album I lost interest, I played the album a couple of times, but it was not for me.

Morning Dove White was such a great album though, and Afterglow and We Are Science I listened to a lot, those years ago. The Arab Strap remix of Message Personnel still sounds fantastic!

I still listen to these album, they are all absolutely fantastic.

― com rad erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 13 September 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
I thought that. But then I put the album on a playlist I listen to when I'm cooking and every time one of those tunes comes on I'm surprised how good they are. There's a lot there.

It's no Words & Music but I'm enjoying it more now.
― kraudive, Thursday, 13 September 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
The Ewan Pearson remix of "Visions" by Slam feat. Dot Allison is one of my favorite tracks ever
― brimstead, Friday, 14 September 2018 19:55 (five years ago) link
i am finally getting into this band after so long (had a weird amount of trouble tracking down their albums last time i tried) and those first three albums are so so good and feel like they sorta anticipated things like Since I Left You. really adore Hug My Soul. looking forward to exploring the following albums
also really enjoying Words And Music which is a perfect Kylie album about growing up being a fan of pop. sort of weird that they made their most Pop album at that point in their career but i love it
a few things i'm curious about though are that they seem to have a lot of essential non-album material especially around those first three albums, are there any compilations that collect all or most of this? and those first three albums also come in so many different tracklists with reissues and US releases etc., i've just stuck to the original UK tracklists so far but are any of the alternate ones worth checking out? the european edition of Tiger Bay seems the most promising and I'll probably check it out soon
― ufo, Sunday, 16 September 2018 00:52 (five years ago) link
Oh lord where to begin with extra tracks. The reissue series alone from a few years back added a bonus disc to each album, then there’s fan club comps, the remix collections...
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 16 September 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
Get You Need A Mess of Help to Stand Alone and the bonus tracks from the Foxbase Alpha box set to start with. Then when you are ready for more, buy Boxsette
