Search: "My Spine (Is The Bassline)", _Oil and Gold_, _Big Night Music_ Destroy: "Shark Walk" on _Go Bang!_. Actually, probably 50-75% of that album could be flushed down the toilet and I wouldn't cry.
mmm Shriekback i love you...

i sourced a remastered cd copy of jam science a while ago, and all this talk of g04 on another thread today made me really want to hear the band that always meant a lot more to me in the discovery of the bassline than those overly referenced others ..
and damn .. in 2005 'jam science' sounds awewsome. totally.
'oil and gold' next.
this could take some time shift from the playlist.

So there've been TWO new albums since Naked Apes & Pond Life? Dang. I'll have to get those. I have a special fondness for the Shrieks and their green feathers and their eels.
A few years ago I bought the website-only CDR remaster of Jam Science. For the most part it sounds good, except for a couple of tracks which are obviously from not-great vinyl.

I'm really enjoying the Veils album, and when I found out they're lead by Andrews' son, it got me to look up the old man, and some of the newer stuff is quite good. "Bonehead" is right up there with Nemesis for the Talking Heads-in-S&M-gear vibe.

when it was new-ish I would routinely listen to it and wonder: like, why isn't this huge? me & my friend Allyson thought it was pretty much the best album in the world, and they played "Nemesis" in the Portland club where I danced, but it seemed like it never really got a head of steam under it.

Yeah, Oil & Gold and Big Night Music were both languish-in-bedroom soundtracks for me too. Also i had just got my first four track and I tried so mawkishly to imitate their 'tiny bells' and 'clicking sticks' trip...
I do think 'Nemesis' achieved a pretty good saturation level. Most people I know who were awake in the 80s know that song.
But the albums, and the Shrieks in general, there was just no way to sell megaunits of that kind of wry perversion.
Here's where I opine that about half of Sacred City is brilliant and it's well worth the $0.99 for a used Amazon copy...

after my recent OD'ing on early era simple minds, i have to say, that their stuff has not a patch on jam science when it comes to the use of future funk science.

simple as that.

i just wonder if this is the same remastered version that barry was selling via the old site a few years albeit in very nice proper packaging this time around ?
at the time i got jam science, oil and gold, and the hatfield cd-rs altogether (with an extra 3 track cd-r of new material - which was rather fantastic. one track of which was then 'covered' by barrys kid in the veils)
so, i suspect that other than a couple of extras, this will probably sound the same, as again it's sourced from vinyl.
i haven't dug around, or checked .. guess i should !

to answer : yes the new remaster is better.still a vinyl rip, but the sound is a lot clearer than the cd-rs. small print reveals the remastering has been done professionally.however, that's not the real issue here.the big surprise for me are the so called demos.they are f*ckin' fantastic.not shoddy x-gen tape recordings, but tracks that fit in with the flow of jam science.yes, a couple of them use the same drum loop as tracks on jam science, but i care not, they are great.also, i had never heard the adrian sherwood remixes of "my hand on my heart" : game over, money well spent.no idea re the live set yet.negative : the sleevenotes are skinny. i would like to think that barry and martyn could write a lot more re this era of the band, but they clearly hold back.summary : easily worth a tenner, even if you have the cd-r that was sold before.
question : reissue has no barcode, no release detail etc. is this basically a semi-official bootleg ? unlike the 'oil and gold' reissue in cherry red.does the fact it's another vinyl rip, mean there are still issues re the whole rights of the arista era of this band ?

Ok, so here's the deal. Previously, 6 of the 10 album tracks were available on comps: "Achtung" on "Priests & Kanibals", "Mercy Dash", "Midnight Maps", "My Careful Hands", "Newhome" and "Under The Lights" on "Evolution". And frankly you're better off with those versions as there's some pops and clicks on this version ("Achtung" around 4:00 and at least one other track that I can't recall) that aren't on those. Also, the original LP has a minor crossfade from "Suck" to "Hubris" which is lost on this new remaster.
"Nerve" sounds like it's been re-eq'd or something, much clearer."Cloud Of Nails" is very pop-and-click whereas the version on "Priests And Kanibals" is flawless.The live album sounds much fuller than the bootleg I've got.
So overall, I'm still very happy to have this, I just can't understand why they used flawed tracks when better versions were available.

OK I'm just going to say it. I know I am going to sound ungrateful. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS JAM SCIENCE REISSUE! It's one of my very favorite records ever. I was hoping for a nice crisp not overcompressed remaster, is that too much to ask? I am really undone by the scratchy, direct-from-crappy-vinyl Hand on My Heart remixes- this is the best we could hope for, really? The bonus tracks are nice, but all have been available around the internet and from the self-released comps from a few years ago. The live cd sounds a tiny bit better than the self-released CDR.
How likely do you think it is that we will ever hear a properly remastered version of this splendid, 30-year-old album? soon we'll all be dead
Yours in mourning, Joe Ofalt

The tapes may not even exist anymore-- there are other masters of similar vintage by other bands which are already MIA. Or it could just be rights. I can't imagine that the cleanest obtainable vinyl of JS wouldn't sound pretty decent though.

i get the disappointment as i would love a proper remastered digital edition, but, as jon says, i think this is looking to be no longer possible making me suspect that this edition is as good as its going to get, (and my cd-rs were beginning to look rather worn out).re the HOMH/AMS remixes : yeah, not a brilliant vinyl copy, but as i had never heard these remixes, i was just glad to have them. AMS was doing nasty/scratched to f*ck styled remixes in the early 80s, so i originally assumed at the low volume i listened, that this was part of the sonic chaos, however, a wall shaking level does indeed reveal this is a pretty scratched 12".also, i had never trawled the wire for demos etc, so to have these era relevant extras actually pleased me .. sorry you are not happy re the reissue.have you contacted the powers that be and asked for a refund ? i'm sure they would oblige.

you are correct re the compression.
the cd-r version sounds quieter, but with more space in the mix.

yeah it's a record with loads and loads of great detail. I suppose it's their 'Skylarking' in a weird way (then again I bought them on the same day when both were new so that might be just me).

No, I greatly appreciate the effort and I try to offer $upport for all Shriekback things, I would never ask for a refund! Also I just bought the 'Life In The Loading Bay' CD which seems to be available again in limited quantities - I had already purchased the download when it came out. I do love the HoMH remixes, and they are new to me. All that money that was thrown around in the eighties and no one made extra copies of the master (I clearly don't know how that was done, legal intricacies, etc.)?

Shriek by numbers (probably Glory Bumps) is still pretty good.
I passed on the new edition of Care - I'm one of the lucky sods who has the Australian CD that was released in the early 90s, and whatever's missing is on the excellent "Y Years" compilation. All pop and crackle free.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 29 January 2015 02:08 (nine years ago) link
did not know there was a cd edition.which therefore raises the question as to why they didn't use this as the source and remaster this edition for the rerelease.i mean, if they did not have a copy of the cd themselves, i'm sure if they put out an appeal a fan would have lent a copy to them.
― mark e, Thursday, 29 January 2015 08:53 (nine years ago) link
Certainly a question I always have when artists master from vinyl. Even for Jam Science, most of the tracks are on compilation CDs and clean fan rips have circulated for years. A Facebook appeal would bring tons of options and great results.

The upcoming album, "Without Real String Or Fish", is due in March. It got me thinking that there hasn't been a Shriekback compilation covering their last 29 years (!!). Towards that end, here's my proposal for a Barry Andrews/Shriekback anthology:

Thanks, I took your advice and removed the 3 non-Shriekback tracks and one of the Glory Bumps tracks. I replaced the Big Night Music tracks with the two you mentioned, added "Sway", "A King Of Fascination", "Everything That Rises Must Converge" and "My Vast Behavior", a track from the last albums bonus disc. Definitely stronger for it! I do enjoy making these sort of compilations.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 19 February 2015 16:39 (nine years ago) link
I am strongly of the opinion that "Sticky Jazz" should be there over "Reptiles & I" and slightly less strongly of the opinion that "Running on the Rocks" belongs regardless of what other BNM tracks are selected.
― "Go pet your dog" is the name of my dog (DJP), Thursday, 19 February 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
"Big Night Music" is a tough one to pick highlights from, frankly, as it's very consistent. I could make an argument for "Cradle Song" and "The Shining Path", too. But for me it's got to have "Black Light Trap" and "Underwaterboys", plus one more. I always felt that "Running On The Rocks" was a retread of stuff on "Oil & Gold".
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 19 February 2015 17:48 (nine years ago) link
My "Reptiles" advocacy is slightly personal (I adore everything about the arrangement & production of that track) but also a bit objective I hope -- it was the first appearance of that smaller-frame semi-acoustic-but-still-with-wacky-noises mode of theirs. I feel like the "big" tracks on BNM are family enough that only one of them needs to be on an overview comp.
(however, by choosing "Reptiles" over "Pretty Little Things" for the small-shriek slot, we still don't have an example of the important "tiny sticks" technique do we? Which track on Oil & Gold had tiny sticks on it? I can't remember)

It's true, those albums are all fantastic pieces unto themselves. But it's great to have a cross-section of an artists entire work, that's why I love well-chosen anthologies and singles comps. And there's been NOTHING covering these lads over most of their career. And I like the challenge of picking a limited-but-excellent number of tracks, it makes you really consider an artists best work.

I don't know what I'd take out to get "Malaria" in, but "Malaria" is one of my favorite songs of all time so I want that one. Maybe "Gunning for the Buddha" which has a nice sound but never really did the job for me

Warning: Utter pedantry ahead.
The Shriek lads have been really busy releasing limited reissues of their early back catalog. Unfortunately, these have been a bit shoddy with obvious vinyl transfers and incorrect versions. The new release, "Peel Sessions And Singularities", caused me to take a closer look at the recent releases. Here's what I found:
Care remaster:"Feelers" is the Can't Speak Mix, quite crackly though.Note that I didn't buy this and haven't done a thorough review, I just noticed this in my investigation into "Feelers".
Tench remaster:"Sexthinkone" is the 7" version (3:39), not the original EP version (4:23)."Accretions" is the Infinite remix (4:28), not the original EP version (4:16)."So Hard So Hard" clips the first few seconds from the CDr version I have."Accretions (remix)" is the same as the Infinite remix, thus a duplicate of the previous version.
Peel Sessions And Singularities:6 Peel sessions tracks appeared on the "Vicissitudes" CDr; new are "Faded Flowers", "Feelers" and "Fish Below The Ice".The Peel version of "Newhome" on Vicissitudes sounds like a radio recording with a crossfade at the beginning whereas this new version is clean. Everything else has similar sound quality.The Peel version of "Feelers" (5:07) sounds identical to the single version (5:01). I have a 3:54 MP3 alleging to be the Peel version which sounds different from every other mix I've got."Sexthinkone (exotic mix)" is the same as the 12" mix."Accretions (original)" is the missing Tench version, albeit crackly."Lined Up (instrumental)" is 4:17 whereas the 12" version is 5:00, it's a MUCH earlier fade.Everything else is solid and crackle-free.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 18 November 2016 15:39 (eight years ago) link
Oh, and the "Secrets Of The City" reissue compared to the CDr changes a bunch of track titles and excludes the brief 'Interlude 2'.

Shriekback business:
Just out, new studio album "Why Anything? Why This?" First listen indicates it's solid but it needs more listens. Some tracks sounds like retreads of previous material, others are quite excellent like "And The Rain" led by Carl. No matter what, Martyn Barker is one of his generations best drummers.
Last year they put out "The Elated World", a compilation of fan-funded tracks. Some great bits, some instrumentals, worth hearing but not a critical addition to their canon.
In 2015 they released "The Island Of The Hopeful Monsters (Lost Demos From The 80's & The 90's)", which is what it says on the tin. Pretty inconsequential.
They've also put out a new live album from their 2017 tour and an old live album from 1987 but I didn't get those.
