Sedibus (the Orb) - SETI (23/02/24)
purlieu replied to Rubin Farr's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Alex cobbled together material from all his various collaborative projects of late - including the Rendall Orb stuff - he could make a seriously great Orb record out of it. One of the things that makes those early records so great is the collaging together of often quite disparate elements. I do not understand this trend of separating things off into more homogenous side-projects. The best tracks from The Heavens, Enter the Kettle, Yarns from the Chocolate Triangle, SETI and Prism could make a top tier Orb album, instead of four decent but slight side-projects and a largely awful Orb album. Also the first review currently on BC describes this as being "reminiscent of their all-time classic Orblivion". Ah, yes, Orblivion, that album full of acoustic drums, emotive piano and 10 minute droney ambient tracks. Some people.- 5 replies

My initial response to Quaristice was preferring Versions because it felt more like a 'traditional' Ae album, I'm sure that was part of the discussion at the time, that's how it'd sound if it was done in the format of earlier albums. Over time I've really come to love the main album, though, and while the supplementary material has some great stuff, but I'm strangely not champing at the bit for any kind of reissue (not that I'm expecting it anyway - we've not had any other 12"s come out, surprisingly). But yes, I'd imagine the next three will be coming along this year at some point. Might be time for me to reapproach Oversteps, see if I can get on with it now.

Never bothered with the binder, but bought all the 12"s on release. I wish they'd at least come in basic card discobags, though, as they never sit properly on shelves in their plastic things. Should probably do something about this one day. The sleeves are all battered to hell now too.

Underworld - And The Colour Red (2023)
purlieu replied to LooseLink's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
The live shows are being promoted with "new album later this year" so it seems like it's going to be a traditional one. Which I suppose kind of makes sense - Drift went against their expectations, so going in expecting to do a Drift Series 2 and ending up doing a traditional album fits that in a weird roundabout way. Dirty Club is basically a modern update of Dirty, it was released as part of the Drift Series 1 bonus material... guessing Dirty Club Guitar adds in elements of Dirty Guitar. I think you've got all the ones that have been performed live down. I really like Denver Luna still, and both Gene Pool and Strawberry Hotel could be great in final versions, but it does all feel very safe after a lot of the experiments of Drift. Everything so far's been four-to-the-floor for a start. -

Don't think collabs are going to be a regular thing, they just clearly clicked with this guy. Album is due out in the summer apparently. Decent track, very Beaucoup Fish. -
Orbital - Green and Brown Album Live 2024 tour!!
purlieu replied to Pirtek's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Remaining singles are Omen, III (Satan / LC1 / Belfast), Midnight/Choice. My guess would be the 'disc 1' releases will get the physical pressing, the remixes will come as digital bonuses like with Chime. To be honest, I don't think many of the mixes from the era are utterly essential, but it'll be nice to have the complete packages, the Chime one is pretty good at an hour long. Still curious to see what they'll do with Mutations, whether it'll be part of this drop series or get its own thing or be ignored. Gonna assume Brown at the end of the year with Radiccio, Lush and Peel Session 12" drops, Sniv with Are We Here? and Times Fly, In Sides with... The Box and... I dunno, is anyone really clamouring for a The Saint 12"?- 75 replies

The Future Sound of London - ISDN [RSD 2024]
purlieu replied to Rubin Farr's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
So we have a tracklist. As predicted, the 2LP version simply pastes the white edition tracks into the start of side D before ending with 'An End of Sorts'. Interestingly, the 2CD edition features the same running order, making it a 90 minute 18 track double album with strong similarities to Lifeforms, right down to CD1 containing eight tracks and running to roughly 40 minutes, and CD2 containing more and running to roughly 50. It looks set to be the 'definitive' version of the album - the question is, will we ever get something similar for Dead Cities (the answer is, of course, no). Vinyl: A1 Just A Fuckin' Idiot A2 The Far Out Son Of Lung And The Ramblings Of A Madman A3 Appendage A4 Slider B1 Smokin' Japanese Babe B2 You're Creeping Me Out B3 Eyes Pop - Skin Explodes - Everybody Dead B4 It's My Mind That Works C1 Dirty Shadows C2 Tired C3 Egypt C4 Are They Fightin' Us C5 Hot Knives D1 Kai D2 Amoeba D3 A Study Of Six Guitars D4 Snake Hips D5 An End Of Sorts 2CD: 1-1 Just A Fuckin' Idiot 1-2 The Far Out Son Of Lung And The Ramblings Of A Madman 1-3 Appendage 1-4 Slider 1-5 Smokin' Japanese Babe 1-6 You're Creeping Me Out 1-7 Eyes Pop - Skin Explodes - Everybody Dead 1-8 It's My Mind That Works 2-1 Dirty Shadows 2-2 Tired 2-3 Egypt 2-4 Are They Fightin' Us 2-5 Hot Knives 2-6 Kai 2-7 Amoeba 2-8 A Study Of Six Guitars 2-9 Snake Hips 2-10 An End Of Sorts -

purlieu replied to Rubin Farr's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
The press release has a misprint - it's a 2CD set, not a 1CD one. No word on tracklist yet. Pete, a much longer recording of that is in the VPRO show. Tried to ID it but no luck! -
The Future Sound Of London Presents Pulse Five [ De:tuned ]
purlieu replied to Detuned's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Yeah, this has happened with all the past De:Tuned releases, expanded CD & download on FSOLDigital shortly after. It's not ideal. edit: the bonus tracks can be purchased as separate tracks. -
Orbital - Green and Brown Album Live 2024 tour!!
purlieu replied to Pirtek's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Paul looks like someone's grandad there. Really interesting stuff, though - I wish it was longer, to be honest. It's the first time I recall the whole credits / creativity thing and their breakups being discussed in those terms, does seem like Paul does most of the music so I understand why he wanted to change the credits. Phil seems like a really sweet guy, too. Shame his tracks are abysmal.- 75 replies

purlieu replied to Pirtek's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Oh God. The worst thing about that, other than the fact that it's unlistenably bad, is that it's a fucking collaboration with Sparks, it should be madly creative and bonkers and it feels like all they got them to do was say one shit line and then repeat it throughout the track. I don't think I could have it in me to dislike anything sampling Tom from Tom & Jerry.- 75 replies

Orbital - Green and Brown Album Live 2024 tour!!
purlieu replied to Pirtek's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Yeah, that's fair, just not getting people saying everything they've put out since then is awful. That fucking Belfast thing is absolutely hilarious, though. I couldn't stop laughing watching it. Fuck knows what was going through their minds when they decided it would be a good idea. I'm trying to work out when their first awful novelty track was. Might have been that version of Satan with Kirk Hammett. It seemed like they could do strange tracks and humorous bits at one point, and then they lost the ability and started churning out really cringey stuff maybe one track in ten.- 75 replies

purlieu replied to Pirtek's topic in New & Upcoming Releases
Nah, not on board with this. The Altogether has really grown on me as a flawed experiment at doing an electro-influenced pop record, Wonky has some really great tracks, and there's a lot of great stuff on Monsters Exist. Optical Delusion was a bit of a step down, although the best tracks I still think are excellent.- 75 replies
