don't worry, Mike's been making fun of disco edits for years...
are disco edits the new electroclash?

not sure anyone ever said edits were mindblowing?
and the mix IS weird, i guess i've never been too stoked on simonetti's mixes and i don't mean weird in a positive sense. i'm all for oddball selections/sequencing but those things just don't go together very well and it was not fun to listen to imo

Intriguing. The only Appaloosa track I've heard was on one of those Kitsune compilations and it didn't sound like something that would come out on Italians. Eager to hear this.

APPALOOSA "Intimate (Glass Candy Remix)" 12 inch Single
After turning down almost every imaginable group & record company on the planet, Glass Candy returns from the studio with their second remix in 11 years ...This time it's Appaloosa's "Intimate". Imagine the romantic Human League fronted by Nico covering Stereolab. That's about the only way we know how to describe this record. Glass Candy dips them in their signature analog glitter with some of Johnny's heaviest drums to date as the synthesizers gnaw at your speakers. The result is a beautiful pop song that will haunt you. This is also the first glimpse from our forthcoming AFTER DARK 2 compilation out later this year. The B side features the original version from Appaloosa. Who is in the studio working on their debut Lp for IDIB later this year. Bonus tracks include instrumentals, drums, and vocals. Special mail order only version on Opaque Ivory vinyl ! Not in stores

Cable Dazed is I think my favourite thing this label has put out so far. Why does this seem to be the only release by these guys, like are they both members of some other band or something?

^^ love the invisible conga people 12" and want more, pleasedon't know if they have other projects
― mizzell, Friday, 20 August 2010 13:54 (fourteen years ago) link
discogs says they're playing (individually) on some other people's records/might be involved in those bands. and then there's a few remixes they've done. cable dazed is awesome, yes.
― willem, Friday, 20 August 2010 14:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Ditto plaxico except replace "Cable Dazed" with "One Night at the Raw Deal" by Twisted Wires. LinnDrum breakdown! I'd like to hear more of them.

I like the Appaloosa track, though it does sound more current (or au courant maybe?); and certainly less otherworldly) than a lot of the IDIB stuff.
Simonetti Tweeted recently about listening to some new Chromatics tracks, which I'm really excited about. They mentioned something a couple of years ago about recording a Neil Young cover, which I always wanted to hear but never surfaced.

The Solid Gold compilation has suprised me in how enduring it has been for me this year.
― get the fuck out of my mouth (boxedjoy), Thursday, 4 November 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
the desire album is rather good.think i prefer it to chromatics/glass candy releases, though i am currently succumbing hard to the chromatics album, even in its non-deluxe form, more and more having not 'got it' to start with.also, i really like the way the ITDIB cd releases are packaged, but they are a bugger to spot in the racks.very much doubt i am ever going to see the perseo edits compilation in the racks in bristol, so may have to resort to ordering from the label website.do they ship to uk ?

Johnny Jewel's SoundCloud features a lot of downloadable instrumental mixes of popular IDIB tracks.

wasn't there supposed to be a sequel, in 2010, to the after dark compilation?

Solid gold?
― blank, Sunday, 6 February 2011 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Much as I love Solid Gold, if that is intended to be the After Dark follow-up then I'm going to be left feeling very cheated. Johnny Jewel was so prolific two years ago, why can't he have more music ready for us now?
― o0o00h really? (boxedjoy), Monday, 7 February 2011 09:33 (thirteen years ago) link
solid gold is not after dark 2
― just sayin, Monday, 7 February 2011 10:11 (thirteen years ago) link
no shit, but it's a similar thing for those that don't buy 12"s. I guess most of the after dark stuff was unreleased at the time, though.

... in order to make room for new releases such as Mike Simonetti's "Capricorn Rising" EP, Various Artists "After Dark 2", Glass Candy's "Body Work" 2xLP and Farah's "Into Eternity" LP...
Very excited, just hoping that Johnny Jewel hasn't let the quality control dip in any way.

a cd that is ..
― mark e, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 07:53 (thirteen years ago) link
That's got to be some kind of oversight - I've ordered from them US -> UK before and it was nothing like that. Email Mike and I bet he'll set you the right price.

well, 6 cds incl. postage ended up being less than £30.thats pretty good considering how much some of these things go for when they're available via amazon.now, all i have to do is wait .. (and wait .. )

i guess this project involves former glass candy personnel as well as the guy from miracles club (rafael)... i dig it, needless to say

a little goofy
Glass Candy? Surely not? They're so serious!
I don't think I like this because it's too knowingly kitsch and obvious with it - which also seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what Glass Candy are about - I think the last stuff was a bit darker and moodier than this and had more appeal for it.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Friday, 9 September 2011 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link

Are you not kind of contradicting yourself there boxedjoy?
― Number None, Friday, 9 September 2011 21:20 (thirteen years ago) link
I think their earlier stuff derives its "goofiness" from Ida No's delivery but the actual music/lyrics indicated something a bit darker, whereas this is so... I hate to use the term "cheesy" because it suggests there's something wrong with populism, but it is very frothy. It sounds like it was designed to be played at the end of the night. I worry that a full album of this would be very saccharine.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Friday, 9 September 2011 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link
