Not sure I'd say the tracks on this are samey, but they are all very distinctive.

Skam, you need to bring your ppl's down South.
And a over to the east as well please. Just my luck, there was no Skam when I used to live oop North.

I was just after the CD, but it came in stock at my local indie shop today so it's all cool.
-
Damn it, why can I not find this in Norwich? And why did I only just remember that it was already out? Want this album badly now.
-
carrion squared!
Another ace record. I got that on your recommendation.
-
I love the two 'Tower' albums. Some of the most atmospheric music I've ever heard.
-
Same here with the last of your two posts, kaini. 'Dead Air' is indeed great (thanks for the recommendation ages ago). And as for GB, I will buy everything they release mindlessly and without checking my bank balance first, but I hope they ease off with these revised editions. Starting to seem just a tiny bit cynical.

Yeah, saw her on the same tour in Austin, TX and Mark Bell was working the reactable with some other guy, Damien Taylor I think. They fucking busted out that Homogenic track "Pluto" and it sounded sick! On top of that some speaker caught on fire and made this shape that looked like the tour font of Volta, almost looked intentional at first.
Here's footage (thank god for this guy filming so close)
Holy hell! Intense
I'm no fan of Bjork but that was awesome (with or without the fire). And props to her for clearly appreciating Mark Bell and Plaid as much as she does.

The name 'trademark ribbons of gold' was a reference to the pre-cert era of video tapes . This was the true golden era of home video
A "pre-cert video" is any videotape issued in the UK before the introduction of the 1984 Video Recordings Act. Pre-cert videos were not required by law to be submitted to the BBFC so the era was unregulated, leading to many uncut releases of videos which would have fallen foul of the BBFC's strict guidelines. Some of the smaller independent companies decided to take advantage of this by issuing "strong uncut" versions depicting graphic violence and gore. A whole barrage of titles previously banned by the BBFC from getting a cinema release suddenly ended up uncensored on home video.
Interesting, thanks for that. I assumed the title was something to do with the VHS age but I didn't know what.
I've hardly checked out the samples. Just don't think I need to, this album seems like a no-brainer. And someone mentioned Neil Scriven as being VHS Head a while back, which makes more sense than BoC or Ae to me. Then again, maybe it's just some bloke noone's ever heard of.
EDIT: Only just realised playbynumbers had posted in this thread. Cool.

So remind me again why he's not been arsed to release another LFO record with Warp...?
-
the sort of person that likes ghost box is generally also the sort of person who would love to have a ghost box shelf with all the cds in a row.
Before my life was boxed up during my Uni limbo, I actually did this, dispensing with my usual OCD artist alphabetisation. Didn't look at all impressive though, as there's no back cover on the original CDRs to show through the spine. Just plain old blank plastic.
even one level of elitism further then: "it's not how it looks. it's how it makes me feel. it makes me feel complete."
What it comes down to is, I knew they were there.

I don't imagine he's any need to money-wise
i'd say mark bell could comfortably retire off his bjork $$$ alone.
What I was thinking kaini, and good on him too.
and maybe cuddle aftar?
(a reference to this, which is as old as the internet) in case it's lost on you. [/labours point]
Thanks for reminding me of how internet-unsavvy I am

sirch, I just don't think I was ready for 'Frequencies' at the time. I was wanting an album full of 'LFO' variations, which to their credit it wasn't. But it's definitely grown in stature for me as I've gotten older and broadened my horizons a bit from when I was in my early 20s. A great album, I just couldn't see it at then, although at the same time it did open my eyes to new things as well.

I remember the disappointment when 'We Are Back' came out, and 'Frequencies' for that matter. I felt underwhelmed by it at the time, but I think that's because 'LFO' was soooo fucking good. And the remix, with that ridiculously deep sub-bass. Awesome. Grown to love the whole shebang as time's gone on though.
EDIT: Never seen much LFO WATMM love in my time here (probably missed it, being a n00b). There should be a sub-forum for LFO just out of respect.

I want all of it!!!
Ghost Box is one of those labels that seems to have that effect.

Those silk-screened shirts were the best GB have put out, but I have a pathological-cum-lazy dislike of white t-shirts (i.e. I don't have many), just too much of a balache on washday. However, I would still love one of those blue Belbury Poly numbers.

Study Series 3 & 4: Mordant Music, Belbury Poly, Broadcast and The Focus Group.
also new tshirts

For once the forum search worked, was about to post this. Where have I been for the past week (rhetorical question)? Pre-ordered the vinyl, naturally. Not going to bother with the t-shirts although they do look rather nice.

I don't imagine he's any need to money-wise, but I'd love to see Mark Bell come back with another LFO release. For me it could only ever be released on Warp though, I've got nostalgic memories of LFO.
And Sheath just shades Advance for me.

Pale Saints, 'Half Life, Remembered'.

Solar Bears, 'Inner Sunshine'.

A lazy Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V from the thread I made in New Releases:
KAP001: 'Electronic Music in the Classroom' by D.D.Denham.Release date: 6th September 2010.
Format: Digital Download.
Availability: Worldwide - iTunes Store, Amazon, BandCamp.
Let me guide you into the fictitious, colourful world of academic composer D.D.Denham and his pupils. Close your eyes and imagine that the sounds you are listening to emerge from the minds of Mr Denham's class of budding composers. You can practically smell the tape loops as they whizz around jars and broom-handles in makeshift schoolroom studios. You can see the soft light as it chinks through the heavy, lined curtains covering the windows. You can experience the energy of concentration, as these young sonic experimenters work through practical recording techniques with their music teacher.
Simple sine-wave melodies glide through echoes and primitive reverb tanks. Slightly broken tape machines do their best to capture the sounds of educational instruments processed through filters. Voices re-dubbed at slower speeds create sinister undertones. Untamed, unstable oscillators are set to synthesise the characteristics of the operatic human voice.
It's all here, woven within the fabric of these 16 pieces.
Further linkage here.

Not dipped into it for a bit now either (so many other releases lately), looking forward to getting back to it again. And let's not all forget 'Video Club' either.
