of course the deluxe version is sold out.



the shipping to the US is crazy.

and then resend it to the US.

depends on how much it weighs.

On a related note, I found the original pressing of Colour of Spring today, still in shrinkwrap but opened. Already bought the japanese repress earlier this year but this is nice to have as well.

Re: Karl contributes to Talk Talk book
 

planning on ordering this book soon.

could take a while to get to the US though.

i will report back, once i get it, on relevant
information with karl.

karl hyde- musician with underworld

i've a vivid memory of hearing spirt of eden for the first time. it was in a rented
holden, driving through the australian outback with the windows down and a
hot summer wind in our faces, where we cracked open the jiffy bag from england.
out dropped a cassette. the accompanying note said:"i meant something like this.
have a great tour."

cassette slotted into the stereo, we lay back in our seats and listened. it was a radical
departure by a band i previously thought of as being 'good at pop'. the impact was kind of
terminal, the last straw. we'd just finished a record. something misguided and tepid as usual,
and had left england with our manager's unsettling advice: "you should make a radical album."

back home, acid house was pumping from pirate radio stations all over london, illegal raves were
the new ultra-punk, and here we were heading in the opposite direction, peddling clapped-out grooves.
thwack! a priority airmail smack in the teeth increased the doom on an already gloomy tour. a fresh
breath, a break from the constraints of tradition, nothing about the album paid lip service to the great
god 'pop'. it was a film score, a soundscape, an installation, stripped-down, interleaved series of
loose connections, shorthand fragments, half-heard snatches of words and melodies carried on the
wind. and when you looked for a structure, there was nothing there. brilliant!
