Vinyl box set sold out 

wow I didn't expect it to sell out -- 1000 copies is a lot these days.

[hayhook]

Mark and Tom and WARP were worried it wouldn't sell out, because of the whole MOV bullshit. 

Now that it has, it means that they might press more depending on demand... now of course that is hard to gauge...

But, because it sold out, despite MOV's product being out there, WARP will be more likely to back a deluxe Short Stories Box...

I cross my fingers tightly.

Do Tom & Mark own the Jedi Knights / Jedis stuff, or is it wrapped up with Universal?  All those tracks & remixes need the reissue opportunity.  They were due for re-release I think back around the Millennium?

[hayhook]

as far I know they own all the rights for Jedi Knights. It seems to only have ever been released from Evolution/Universal Language.

The issue with Jedi Knights is use of the name "Jedi Knights" (see their old lawsuit/cease and desist from George Lucas after the DM remix came out)

and the likelihood of not being able to clear any of the multitudes of samples throughout the album.

and then the difficulty/expense of securing rights, finding masters to the songs they remixed.

we can always hold out hope it can be sorted. 

I would love a deluxe pkg.  And finally decent copies of the bomb the bass remixes, disco magic, the flow, return of the jedis ep...

If I had any say in what a Deluxe Edition would look like:

New School Science:

May The Funk Be With You   
Noddy Holder   
One For M.A.W.   
Science Friction   
The Truth   
Lessons   
Air Drums From Outer Bongolia   
Dance Of The Naughty Knights   
Human Blancmange   
Solina (The Ascension)   
Afterlife   
(Bonus Track?) Antacid (Jedi Knights Remix) - Link & E621   

Bonus Disc

Pubic Funk (Live)   
Catch The Break   
Big Knockers   
Nutsin   
Time Machine   
Absorber (Jedi Knights Mix Part I) - Bomb The Bass    
Absorber (Jedi Knights Mix Part II) - Bomb The Bass   
The Flow (Jedi Knights Mix) - Model 500   
Home (Jedi Knights Drowning In Time) - Depeche Mode   
Jumbo (Jedis Electro Dub Mix) - Underworld   
Jumbo (Jedis Sugar Hit Mix) - Underworld   
Afrika Shox (Jedi's Elastic Bass Mix) - Leftfield   
Disco Magic (Secret Ingredients Mix) - The Jedis

Ok reading all this is inspiring me to dive back into all the early 90s Global Communication/Reload/Link/Jedi Knights stuff. 
 

What non-album tracks/deep cuts from this era would you recommend I throw together in a playlist?

I made a nice 10 track collection of the JK remixes a while back, with Pubic Funk and Future Funk 2 thrown in (as it’s basically another mix of Afrika Shox)

I just listened to the remix of PJ Harvey's Civil War Correspondant for the first time.

Holy shit was that good.

[hayhook]

I’ve always wanted a dub/instrumental version of that one. I love PJ but it’s because of her abrasiveness. And her voice in a global communication ambient mix is just a little extra for my liking.

I hear you. But it’s the abrasiveness contrasting the ambience that I love.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for placing your pre-order for Transmissions - Global Communication: Boxset (LP)

We are writing to inform you that there has been a delay and the pre-order date has now changed to Friday 4th September. This is due to a number of production delays with various components of this boxset due to COVID related staff shortages at our manufacturers. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

 

[Rubin Farr]

There goes my bday 

[chassis]

To be expected really.

[Richie Sombrero]

Sort of glad of the delay, I'm really looking forward to this and waiting a little longer will let me savor it moreso.

Hope someone compares this to the bootleg release. 

[hayhook]

If you missed the preorder there might be a couple of cancels and copies re-available because of the delay.  Keep you F5 armed and ready. 

[ascdi]

So I pre-ordered the CD of this on Bleep and was expecting digitals too, but it looks like the entry in my account got transformed into just the single track of “7:39 (Cassette Remix)”. The “Transmissions Sampler” got added to my account, but that’s only 4 tracks.

According to the release page for “Transmissions”, though, this is “shipping now”. Anyone know what the deal is, or in the same boat? I’d like to DL the trax now if they are available. Or do I — sigh — have to email bleep about a preorder snafu _again_ 

[species8472]

it’s shipping now i assume. the digitals aren’t available yet. no snafu. 

[purlieu]

Yeah, the CDs are going out according to the GC Facebook. Vinyl not until next month. You'd hope the digitals would come alongside the CDs but... Bleep.

[Rubin Farr]

I keep getting FB notifications about their blerp launch event, but it still says “August 7” so who knows.  Maybe Tom’s busy teaching yoga again, lol

[FurryThings]

Fuck fuck fuck. Forgot to buy it

Hate that feeling.

[hayhook]

Fucking Blerp.  Today they changed the Transmissions page.

It no longer says WAV/FLAC included...

and they finally responded to email: The sampler is the only DLs included.

Shady shit.

What It's looked like since it was announced:
