fuck reissues with extra tracks LAZY LAZY attempt to make money and thoughtless tactless dozy fuckwit way to piss off those of us who already have the originals. no way to run a label. spesh if yr own releases consist of notable "ennio sample through a filter" and several hours of uninspired filler.

love a lot of the editions mego stuff i've heard over the last few years. would love to have a copy of the new dome box set.
― scott seward, Friday, 14 October 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
but if i read the euro conversion properly the dome box would cost a yank $166 + shipping? not gonna happen.

listening to the new mark mcguire record ('get lost') on editions mego. it's a little too mellow and new-agey for me to be honest. it might make good yoga music, though.

some of the old pita records are good, also the first & especially second fennoberg
― nakhchivan, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
well, i'll rep for some o those "rehberg & bauer"s, which still hold up - i actually LIKE them, but everything in his own name seems to me devoid of ingenuity & sub-bruce gilbert "my first zoom sampletrack" exercises (although i might hazard a guess they're max/msp supercollider or what have you) obvious systems & methods, & not at all transportative, revelatory or moving (even in a cold, paranoid machine type of way). it's only my take. don't matter any.
― iglu ferrignu, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
Already mentioned this on some noise thread but the new Peterlicker album is excellent. This was Rehberg's first group after he moved to Vienna (he was 21) and they have now reformed

In addition to being handsome and French, Schaeffer (as I understand it) helped pioneer the highly exact science of making bumping, clubby jams out of steam engine samples. In other words, the Oneohtrix Point Never dude probably likes him a lot, so you’re fucking nobody if you don’t too. The second record Recollection GRM has announced so far is by Guy Reibel, who, for all intents and purposes is the same guy as Pierre Schaeffer, except with a much much shorter Wikipedia page.

Oh man two more GRM releases! I really liked the Schaeffer, the Reibel a little less, but I think I'll be buying all of these indiscriminately.

Those in the Bexhill-on-Sea area would be well advised to make their way to the De La Warr Pavilion tomorrow for what is being touted as "the largest live assemblage of the Editions Mego aesthetic to date". Strangely though, Pita himself is not playing.

That looks like a really good day but I'm too broke to go and have other stuff that I've got to do. Excellent choice of venue, hope they get a good turnout. Are you going?

I might try to go, seeing if I can rally London/Brighton people...

If I can take his name in vain, Brighton ilxor Chewshabadoo was vaguely interested in going. Give him a shout on the Brighton thread maybe?
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Friday, 10 May 2013 14:19 (eleven years ago) link
bbbut that would involve actually meeting another ILXor in person!

True, but he could actually pass for a normal person.

i'm going to this. Chewshabadoo, sadly, is not. i'm sure it's going to be just the thing for the hangover that i will have tomorrow.

Rehberg was very taken with the venue when he was there for the Chris'n'Cosey event last year. Think that's what spurred him on to set this up.
― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Friday, 10 May 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah go for it Neil. i've not been to the DLWP before but i've heard it's great, i'm looking fwd to exploring the venue almost as much as the music.
― jabba hands, Friday, 10 May 2013 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
cool, will do so if I get my act together, thanks!

That's an amazing lineup.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Friday, 10 May 2013 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
it was ace. not packed but a decent turnout and the venue was really nice. the only gripe was a truncated performance from fennesz but he seemed to be having some technical problems (i.e. his stack of effects units kept falling over, lol). russell haswell and kevin drumm = the realest shit ever.

The Quicksails album is good, a special space between Black Dice and Emeralds, with crazy handclaps, Gamelan-style percussion.

Yeah I love that record! That, Unicorn Hard-On and Donato Dozzy Plays Bee Mask have all been great - super stuff from Spectrum Spools this year.

Whenever I saw the Mego label on an album, it immediately added cachet, maybe partly because the distribution of these albums wasn't caught up with demand in the early '00s. Terribly young. RIP.
