 Thread: Relatively new on iTunes |
|
|
There is actually quite a bit that has appeared on itunes now, it looks like all the KMG stuff is dropping in. Shout/Tamplin, Crumbacher, Deliverance, the Swirling Eddies, even most of the crappy latter years crap projects. The Mike Knott Browbeats albums are there... I ran out of things to search for. I think Wild Blue Yonder even. Scaterd Few... Sacred Warrior... wow. Lots there. Interesting.

Yeah, when things get re-released and the artwork gets changed i always get annoyed. the WORST had to be those M8 reissues with that gold square around the edges. who on earth thought that was a good idea? i haven't been on here in a little while, now after re-reading that I'm still loving my original idea of the Japanese Mini-LPs. I want to try to find Kansas - Monolith in that format too. The US CD still has that little "disc" logo on the cover and that just bugs the hell out of me.

I've already got the book set, as well as the individual CDs of all four. But here's my 2 cents toward what I'd love to see regarding these coming back out. For the packaging ... has anyone else seen any of the Japanese reissues that have come out over the last few years (maybe longer)? They're released in the original vinyl artwork, but shrunk down to CD size. It's like a little album, with gatefold sleeves and all that sort of stuff. Exact replicas of the original records, just smaller. That has to be my all time favorite way of repackaging rereleases. The artwork on the CD itself is made to look like the inner section of the original records generally, and the CD is often in a little plastic sleeve much like some LPs were (I normally HATE any packages where the CD slides out of something instead of coming on a spindle, but with the plastic sleeve, these work very well). I have a couple releases by the Smiths like this... a few Cyndi Lauper reissues that just came out... and there's a huge stash of John Lennon reissues at the local FYE in this style as well. Anyway, point being they look freakin' great!
I would love to see all four of the Alarma Chronicles released in packaging in that style, just like little LPs. All the original artwork, a pressing of the Chronicles story in the same size (but big enough to be legible), some new notes, writings, etc., bonus tracks, the usual. Then put all four, and the bonus stuff, in one little box. THAT, would be sweet.
[another format that i liked would be like the Jerry Garcia - All Good Things box, if anyone is familiar with that. digipack CDs... little soft-bound book... nice outer box. that would be a good plan B.]
I guess the common thread in those 2 is that all the CDs come with their original artwork reproduced. That's one thing I didn't like about the book set... the new blue book instead of the real covers... but anywho... just my rambling 2 cents on what my dream Alarma reissue looks like in my head when I envision it.

Another one that could use remastering is Fearful Symmetry. I LOVE that album, but always thought the CD sounded pretty weak (not the material of course, the mastering).

Brian Healy wrote a fake Stonehill review? Oh my, does anyone have it?! I bet it's hysterical. Randy Stonehill is great, that's not why I'd enjoy reading it. I just remember Brian Healy from C-stone as being riotously funny to hang out with. One of my first C-stones, when I was still doing radio, I hung out with Healy and Dr. Shore on and off for a couple days, and I think I almost peed my pants five different times. Funny funny people.

I've found some rare stuff on Gemm, but I'd much rather shop from RadRockers. It's one stop shopping for everything, and I've bought from him for ages. I like shopping from a vendor I trust and respect. Whereas with GEMM you never know. Plus I just feel better supporting someone I know.

For some reason that doesn't sound like a good fit. Tonio rocks, and of course the Dogs are amazing... but together? Hmmm... I dunno. I could see Stonehill with the Dogs maybe...
For some reason I think Tonio would sound cool as a second vocalist with Steve Taylor in Chagall Guevara.

Actually I love the Talking Heads too, and thought Stop Making Sense was excellent. But I didn't get into them until later on.

That's not what you thought? lol. No one likes a smart a$$.
Funny thing is my taste in music got much more extreme after becoming a Christian. I was listening to the Lead, the Crucified, Vengeance and all the hard punk/thrash stuff after getting saved, whereas I've never listened to anything secular along those lines. Probably just as well.
My "secular" tastes always ran toward electro-pop, new-wave and such. Basically anyone with an unusual hairstyle and eccentric outfits and I was there. Had to be a good singer though... as I think all four of those were/are. Still a soft spot for Annie Lennox and Grace Jones too, though I saw Grace play at a nightclub here in Detroit a few years ago, and she was absolutely insane.
Around the 90's my tastes evolved from metal and new wave to techno and blues. It was all Moby, the Prodigy, BB King and Albert Collins by then. Odd how my favorites always seem to be wildly contrasting.
Ah, well...

Oh, yeah. It is on Reflections. Oh, well. At least I only spent $.99 on it, not the whole album.

| Thread: Mark Heard unique song |
|

Here's an interesting little nugget of joy. The song "Family Name" by Mark Heard, which is only on the Acoustic best of (as far as I know)... I never had this song since I never wanted to buy the entire CD/record for one unique track... but I discovered a few days back that many of Mark's CDs are on the iTunes music store! So I was able to just buy that one song I'd been missing - woohoo! I also thought it was excellent that a lot of Mark's older stuff is even on there at all, for new generations to discover. That makes me happy - perhaps Paste is behind it. Anyhow, just thought I'd share this for what it's worth.

| Thread: How did you find DA? |
|
|
A friend copied Alarma off of record onto a tape for me, and I wore the thing out. I had never heard anything like it. Much later at my first C-stone on a whim I purchased Darn Floor, and once again fell in love with the band. Darn Floor is, to this day one of my all time favorite CDs bar none. I still remember they had Darn Floor and Fearful Symmetry CDs and I had to choose one, I bought Darn Floor. Little did I know that it would take me YEARS to be able to find a copy of Fearful Symmetry after that on CD. Should've bought them both right then.

| Thread: Whats your favorite DA concert experience? |
|
|
I saw DA/Eddies a number of times, but I'm not sure which was my favorite. I started going to C-stone in 1988, and I could have swore DA were there that year, maybe in support of Darn Floor. Anyhow, I have vivid memories of the usual onstage melee, and that they did numerous encores, at one point lining up, walking down the stairs and turning around and coming right back up. It was hilarious. It was at Grayslake for sure, then the aforementioned Eddies in flannel and dresses show. I still have pictures from that show that turned out quite well. One of my favorite concerts EVER. Truly bliss.
