I've been listening to DI Go Pop on and off for a year and it is clearly great and wanted to get hold of more stuff.
Technicolour having been re-released is probably get-able, whereas the EPS seem impossible to get from what I read here, what about the first album/In Debt?

Only just noticed this -- the answer is 'not a problem.'

Speaking of which, I know a certain grimly fiendish has received a little something in the mail. ;-)

to tell the truth, what can i say? it was reading about DI here that made me tap up alext for a copy of "... go pop", which i remember him raving about when we were at university but i never really "got" ...
... but best part of a decade on, it all suddenly made a frightening amount of sense.
and then the EPs; where do i start? it's not the kind of music i can write about, to tell the truth. i can't get a handle on it yet. there's so much going on; so much sound; so many ideas; so much beauty; so much anger; just ... so MUCH. fucking incredible, basically. the kind of music i will never tire of listening to.
maybe eventually i'll get my head round disco inferno. but i kinda hope not. i like what they do to me.
i'm just annoyed it's taken me this long to appreciate it.
anyway: ned, thank you very much indeed. and i hope you've enjoyed what i sent you in return.

Nick, have you found the fifth original CD single yet?

Timely revival, in a way, as I'm working on something of potential interest. Won't surface for a little while yet, though.

I've been *cough*downloading*cough some D.I. and quite liking it, but I'm confused about the track(s?) "A Rock To Cling To." Two entirely different songs with that title seem to exist, one a 9:41 instrumental and the other a 3:53 song with vocals. The latter starts abruptly, such that it almost sounds like an edit from a longer version, but the two tracks are not similar. I can't find a citation online for this latter track. Anyone? Anyone?

Yeah, this was talked about earlier in the thread (thus it behooves you to read it all ;-) ) -- for the longest time I thought "A Rock to Cling To" was the longer track, but after friend donut found the original vinyl, it turned out that was the shorter song. The abrupt start is intentional.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 May 2007 03:03 (seventeen years ago) link
Ah, thanks!
"it behooves you to read it all"
Duly noted.
― ctrl-s, Thursday, 31 May 2007 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link
p.s. Maybe update the AMG page accordingly? :)

Stranger has occurred.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 May 2007 03:23 (seventeen years ago) link
So what is the longer song called? "It Behooves You to Read it All"??
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 31 May 2007 04:29 (seventeen years ago) link
Nevermind!
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 31 May 2007 04:30 (seventeen years ago) link
Hooray!
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 May 2007 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link
Crause actually sings the phrase "I just need a rock to cling to" at some point in the shorter of the two. The CD single packaging makes the titles difficult to judge, though. I think I need to retag in iTunes. BECAUSE I TRUSTED NED AND HE LIED TO ME.
