Members Fission Hole Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Frankly "Isn't Anything" could always have sounded better as a recording, and I do really like the music on it. Very interested if they could make that sound better. I'll be getting the EP collection for the the singles and b-sides and because I can't find the "You Made Me Realise" EP anywhere. I'm skeptical of a "better" mix of "Loveless." I'll probably get it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diabolus_in_Musica Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Saw them in Pomona on their reunion tour. My ears/testes are still ringing/tingling. Can't wait for this. where'd they play in inland empire? I saw them in santa monica in october 2008 and LA 2009 just before coachella festival that year w/ the cure headlining. But Pomona? Furthermore Someone at the shows(from goldenvoice or LA Weekly) told me they were going to compile a bunch of live footage to release a dvd. Something like this would be special: [video=youtube;3DEnwUAzPG4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THAT4301 Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Is My Bloody Valentine the same band that Aidy was in and they all were wearing vampire costumes or some {censored}? No that's Vampire Weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members captions87 Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Furthermore Someone at the shows(from goldenvoice or LA Weekly) told me they were going to compile a bunch of live footage to release a dvd. Something like this would be special: After the first time I saw that To Here Knows When video, that's exactly what I was expecting, maybe not so much a "tour" video, but at least a complete vid of one of their bigger shows would've been awesome. Do you by any chance know/remember the names of the two opening acts that played in Santa Monica, I remember the first one was this girl, and then this band came out that were pretty trippy and cool, but none of their names were on the ticket.

Members Diabolus_in_Musica Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 Sure, the girl was Gemma Hayes(supposedly an Irish musician recently moved to LA):[video=youtube;D3P6cNpYrN0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3P6cNpYrN0 The trippy band was Spectrum belonging to Sonic Boom(aka Peter Kember) of past seminal Spacemen 3 fame(practically help invent most of this music along with Jesus and mary chain). Spacemen 3 came very close to being signed to Creation Records as well early on but flopped. Spectrum always seems to play the US every year on short tour. Must have seen Sonic at least 8 times. Sometimes he uses past members of Spacemen 3(bass player and drummer). Sonic Boom's cohort Jason Pierce's band Spiritualized have a new album coming out I believe and they are set to play LA in May. Last I heard "Kev" was in a relationship with the lovely lead singer of Le Volume Courbe:[video=youtube;Eu2vF1q1fLA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu2vF1q1fLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 The records are classics but honestly I could care {censored}ing less about the remasters... The sound of those records is iconic and they no doubt added all types of modern day compression and cleaned them up and {censored}ing them up in the process. Hear {censored}ing hear, man (sic). Remastering albums 30 years later is like dropping Dali's paintings into Photoshop to tidy them up. {censored} that {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally have an interest in sig models, but a Kevin Shields/Bilinda Butcher signature Jazzmaster would be something I would definitely look into.

Members Urinate Forever Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Personally, I can't listen to loveless anymore due to the compression and lack of depth to the recording. I'm hopeful for the remaster. I thought Isn't Anything had much better production. Maybe I have really {censored}ty MP3s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think KID A said on another thread that he heard the remasters, and that he was impressed... I think I heard leaks of them a couple years ago. They sounded fine, not a whole lot of difference between them and the originals. Maybe just a bit more polished.

Members renula Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 The record was heavily compressed by kevin himself. It was part of the whole sound he was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Personally, I think the highly-compressed production works brilliantly for that album and for the sound of that album. It sort of makes the individual tracks less distinguishable from each other so they merge into one big sonic sandblast. But that doesn't mean I'm not excited to hear it in a different way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THAT4301 Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have no question it was intentional and I have a huge amount of respect for what they were doing and what they went on to influence.

The first 50-100 times I listened to it was enough for a lifetime. I'll finally give them my money though when the remasters come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But listening to that album makes my ears physically tired I agree wholeheartedly. As much as most modern music is compressed now, that particular album for me just makes me ears exhausted more than most things i listen to now.
