I'd like to grab the free download, but it seems like you have to have set up an account with Tailored Communication to do so. Am I missing something? Thanx.

So has anyone listened to this yet? I saw it's making the rounds early today. As for Beck, I've been a fan since Mellow Gold. MG and Odelay are favorites, as is One Foot in the Grave. Midnite Vultures is good but it's mastered way too loud. Mutations is also really good. Guero is a lot like Odelay but with more money. Not a favorite but I love a lot of stuff on it. Colors is much better than I expected it to be. Hyperspace is... good? It's good. I can't really listen to Sea Change or Morning Phase, too depressing. Also, his early, pre-fame stuff is nuts and awesome! Lots of weird noise, folk, hip-hop experiments. I wish he'd reissue some of those recordings. His cover of GG Allin's Tough Fuckin' Shit is hilariously good!

It's official. Yoni Wolf just put an earlier vocal take on the instrumental and released it on a mixtape.

It's funny to see this starting to make the rounds now. Most of this (minus the first four tracks) was apparently on a Bandcamp page with no purchase price. This was spotted and pointed out to the Avalanches community who were surprised and really excited. I guess there was some panic because it got pulled offline for a few days before finally being released, and with two bonus tracks if you purchase it. Now I've seen it on another site where someone is trying to insist the Avalanches are on it, which is not the case, it's just Gordy circa 2000 and the mid-2000s. Still, it's very good and totally worth your attention. If you like the classic Avalanches sound, a la Since I Left You and the El Producto EP, this will be right up your alley.

Gotta admit all three are pretty great. The original holds up very well. The AFX version is good but it's always been a fight against the b-side, and the Box Energy remix wins that battle. I hadn't heard the Humanoid version which is very good!

I don't know if it was that big a deal in the long run. That comp is mostly ignored now anyway since it's not available digitally or, to the best of my knowledge, physically. They were in a crunch anyway. I compiled all the BoC mixes from lossless sources years ago for myself, though it'd be nicer to have everything from master tapes/dats/files/whatever.

It certainly doesn't go much of anywhere. Still like it though. Kind of amazed Warp hasn't tried to make an officially licensed remix comp for them. They've got enough stuff for an album length release.

It's such a unique track. Nothing else really sounds like it outside of Photek's work. As much as I love MO, it always bothered me that this wasn't on it, especially since The Fifth Column is. Would've been lovely to see it as a bonus track for the vinyl reissue or as a separate 12" reissue. Seriously, nothing else like it, which is saying something because there really isn't anything else like MO. Quite note, I just noticed my semi-ancient rip of MO I have on my phone (I copy most of my music to my phone rather than use streaming services. Yes, I'm nuts.) has Ni-Ten-Ichi-Ryu at the end. Don't know if that was from the Japanese CD or if I just added it.

Woah. Seriously all kinds of woah. Oh hell no woah, no no no woah, woah woah stop woah, just plain woah, and that's just for starters. Damn.

How quickly did you receive yours? Did you pay for faster shipping?

I ordered a copy. Who knows when it'll arrive as I'm in the US. It'd be nice to get a digital version too, but I guess that's not happening. Woulda considered buying the Nondi_ vinyl for her tape as well if I hadn't already bought the vinyl months ago. (sigh)

I gave up after a few more attempts to reach out to them and filed a claim with PayPal. They refunded my purchase, which most likely means the seller never responded to them either. Totally nuts.
