Maudlin of the Well

[lizard]

the reissues of Bath and Leaving Your Body Map (with bonus tracks) are now available from Dark Symphonies.

I know this is news that will delight some of you and leave the rest of you in perplexed disapproval.

 

[lurch70]

that is good news ... any additional material on them?

 

[Ellestin]

fuck additional bonus.

Was the first batch sold out really? Nice job for a band not addressing a shallow audience...

 

[lizard]

yes, the first were sold out. Just to get my originals, I had to scramble to find a distro which still had a couple of copies.

The re-issue versions will include five bonus tracks (three on one, two on the other) selected by the band as well as extensive liner notes written by Toby Driver, the mastermind behind Maudlin Of The Well! The original artwork will remain intact at the request of Toby since he feels it still conveys the meaning and spirit behind the music and lyrics. The repressing for each cd will be limited to 1,000 copies world-wide! Please check our "Releases" Page for the complete tracklisting for each re-issue.

..................

normally I'm a little leery of "limited editions" and "bonus tracks" because I think it's just a ploy by greedy companies, ala Geffen and how they handle the Nirvana catalogue. But Dark Symphonies has resisted for quite a while doing this...

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Well, I already have the originals, but I might as well pick these up.

Oh yeah, I still need to get my hands on a "real" copy of My Fruit... Fuck.

 

[lizard]

the last I saw I think the band still had some copies of that one.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Yeah, Toby told me he still had a few hundred I think. I'm just lazy.

 

[lizard]

it's the least essential....

edit: the reissues are only $10 each so...

 

[Dick Sirloin]

It's my favorite...

 

[lizard]

I haven't listened to that one in a while so I may reevaluate!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

"Undine and Underwater Flowers" is soooooo purty. Also, that part in "Pondering a Wall" when it goes from dreamy-soft to suddenly balls-out heaviness... whoa.

 

[Dev]

I never listen to "my Fruit..." whereas in fact it's just damn good , despite the production. Contains some of their best tracks.

 

[lizard]

Toby says he already has the reissues also and if you get them through him that's preferrable to Dark Symphonies.

 

[E-bortion]

Both Bath and My Fruit... fucking win. So thumbs up. I'm one broke bastard though, so maybe I'll order them in time.


THEY ARENT ALLL BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL im sure fucking peppy from coffee this morning.

 

[NAD]

if Toby is selling these direct i'll go that route. Dark Symphonies more like Dark Shitphonies am i rite.

 

[lizard]

I've never dealt with them except for this order...

 

[jimbobhickville]

I used to order from them on occasion and have never had a bad experience. They ship fast, it's free shipping, and their prices are dirt cheap. Not sure why anyone hates them.

 

[lizard]

Nad hates everything. he's like the American Erik

 

[NAD]

hahahha

no it's because they screwed and then ripped off motW, some t-shirt design for one of the DS dude's band is like, straight from motW. i've actually purchased from them before and they are a great distro, i just didn't like the how they treated that band. politics.

I remember that...yeah, it was a direct lift.
