Why is it so hard to get a cd copy of the new Luomo album in the US?

Bad distro options due to the collapse of Safety In Numbers and a few other like-minded distros?

― Xii (Xii), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 04:45 (twenty-three years ago)

is it actually available anywhere on cd? i was just in Barcelona and bought the vinyl version of it cause the guy at the record store said that it wasn't coming out on cd at all

If you really want it, you can get it at Other Music.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 04:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I got it this w-e in Prague, of all places..
Still unconvinced, but then again I was never sold on 'Vocal City' either..

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 07:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I know it's getting a proper CD release though BMG here in the Netherlands on August 15, so maybe that's also the case elsewehere.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 08:26 (twenty-three years ago)

i got it on vinyl coz of lack of cd. actually, there is another thread about this somewhere

― Robin Goad (rgoad), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for the info.

― hector (hector), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

forcedexposure.com has it on CD - it's freaking 30 bucks tho!

― jason m. (jason m), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't see it at FE, unless everyone that just saw this thread went there and bought them all up

― JasonD (JasonD), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I got it for $18 on CD through Force Tracks a month or two ago...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Is saw a cd-copy at a local recordstore last week for 25 Euros. Already have the vinyl version which sounds divine.

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

dang, you're right - FE is out. huh. well, they *did* have it.

― jason m. (jason m), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

we still haven't gotten copies at amoeba in SF, even though vocalcity still gets restocked regularly. i listened to the vinyl and at first listen thought there were way more vocals than vocalcity...and it was a bit of a turnoff. can anyone give me a good comparison review?

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i just got it through other music in new york on cd although it was $27.00. http://www.othermusic.com

― hector (hector), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 20:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Is the vers. of "Present Lover" on Digital Disco the same as the one on the album?

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:17 (twenty-three years ago)

ouch - maybe that's why our buyer hasn't picked it up yet -- it's tough enough getting people to buy $20 imports let alone $30. what's with the ridiculous price?

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:37 (twenty-three years ago)

No EFA to save the day.

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark - it's slightly different, perhaps ever so slightly inferior... although I only say that because they extend that synth-guitar solo from its interlude right through to the end, which means it overshadows slightly my favourite riff in the whole track which comes in near the end.

Luckily there's "Could Be Like This", which is like "The Present Lover" mark 2 (slightly less vocals) and is possibly (gasp) BETTER.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 31 July 2003 00:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Well I downloaded it but it has the copy-protection bleeps (I've never run accross these before) -- there's 12 hours down the drain. I hope it comes out on CD in the States eventually.

Anyway, I love it. Not sure yet how I would rank it next to Vocalcity but v. nice.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 1 August 2003 23:35 (twenty-three years ago)

i saw luomo live less than a month ago. VD signed my ticket! He is immensly beautiful :)

If the promo is anything to go on, the new artwork for "Vocalcity" sucks bigtime.

An early internet search for Vocalcity was my first contact with ILM. It took me a lol of a long time to find site new answers. I swear that I thought ILM was just one thread (not this one, I don't think) about Luomo's Vocalcity for months after that.

It took me a decade since the first time I ever heard it, but I’ve finally realized The Right Wing is an extraordinarily strong track. I used to think it was the album’s dullest moment, but now I’m realizing just how strong that beat is!

haha you beat me by 25 seconds

it's just one track - but it's great.

― disco stabbing horror (lukas), Wednesday, 28 January 2026 09:33 (seven months ago)

Actually there are two tracks (it seems another one was loaded a month ago) - and they’re both so warm and comforting - still closer to the style of Plus than anything prior, but with some of the sharper edges of the Plus tracks carefully sanded away. It’s like he knew we needed to be comforted.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 January 2026 10:15 (seven months ago)

both of these tracks are remarkable

― ivy., Wednesday, 28 January 2026 16:05 (seven months ago)

awesome

― vague facial gymnastics (sleeve), Wednesday, 28 January 2026 16:10 (seven months ago)

"talovahti" in particular is right in that luomo space, sound and rhythm and melody colliding in such a half-awake state that they smear into each other

― ivy., Wednesday, 28 January 2026 16:18 (seven months ago)

excited to hear these, thanks for the tip!

anyone been following the bandcamp stuff in general?highlights? haven’t heard anything since rakka 1, i think… (which was pretty sick!)

these new tracks are really something aren't they? kadotut is the one blowing me away lately, so cosmic.

― shaking babies (map), Saturday, 27 June 2026 22:26 (two months ago)

I was worried he might go through June without a new track, but here he comes like clockwork

https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/hypnoosia

― Xgau Murder Spa (nikola), Sunday, 28 June 2026 14:53 (two months ago)

They are missing the trademark vocals that mark every Luomo album. I still find them enjoyable. Sonically similar to “Plus” but more warm, dubby, and loose.

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 29 June 2026 17:02 (two months ago)

there are vocal elements in most of the tracks. they're pretty mangled though. very different from the clean vocals on the old albums.

i gave all of these a listen in a playlist over the weekend. most of it sounds good to me, some i'm not sure about, but i gotta say that "kadotut" is next-level for me. that track does not let up. it's also the longest at 11+ minutes. it sounds huge and cosmic, it's very active from moment-to-moment - reminds me of later autechre but with a house backbone. big blasts of chaotic sun energy. just phenomenal.

― shaking babies (map), Monday, 29 June 2026 17:44 (two months ago)

Vocal elements is a generous way to put it. I would love to hear a discernible word instead of artificial specters though, it is what pushes vintage luomo to classic status.

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 29 June 2026 19:18 (two months ago)

maybe if a full album coalesces there'll be more vocals. if one wanted to nitpick his classifying -- where he just makes music and then figures out if it fits under one of his existing aliases or he'll just make a new one -- maybe these are more Uusitalo tracks :)

― mh, Monday, 29 June 2026 21:18 (two months ago)

maybe these are more Uusitalo tracks :)

― mh, Monday, June 29, 2026 5:18 PM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

I'm definitely ok with that

― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 30 June 2026 00:08 (two months ago)

lots of good stuff under the other aliases. I contributed to some internet radio fundraiser years ago and got a Sistol album and a John Tejada one for good measure

― mh, Tuesday, 30 June 2026 01:30 (two months ago)

For me the clear precedent for these new tracks is the Luomo remix of Black Dice’s “Smiling Off” (and to a lesser extent “The Right Wing” and “She-Centre”).

I’m reasonably happy for vocals to be minimised here - I think he took his vocal house blueprint as far as it could go on Convivial, and while I love Plus and think it is underrated, the vocals are fairly superfluous to its charms IMO.

― Serfin' USA (sleeve), Saturday, 29 August 2026 18:12 (six days ago)

Yes this one is extremely lovely - the vibe reminds me of the first Blondes album - but also I think we didn’t talk enough about how “Puolesta” sounds like a Luomo take on Todd Edwards/Tuff Jam/New Horizons.
