Metamatic Forums John Foxx Collaborations Never Been Here Before

Jori Hulkkonen told me at Cargo (Metamatic gig 8.10.2007) that "Dislocated" was not released in CD-single format. Every copy of "Dislocated" CD-single is a promo disc.

Promo not demo that's what I meant. :rolleyes: My copy is the one with the cardboard sleeve. On the reverse in very small print amongst other text it reads "For your professional and promotional use only".

Well if Jori could release his new single in this format I'm sure that he'll get well promoted.

I's the same card sleeve for my CD. I never read this very small text on the back to the end - but you both are right ; it's a promotional CD.

The style of the sleeve is the same as for the 12" - though they have different track lists.

On the 12" are 4 remixes of Dislocated (but for my opinion not as good as the original).

- A1/ Jussi Pekka's Pointed on a Map remix( same as on the CD single)
- A2/ Definitive French Remix by The Youngsters
- B1/ Huoratron Remix
- B2/ Jori Hulkkonen Re-mix

I agree with Chris - would be great to have the new single as a CD in the same style too.

Cheers, Andreas

Jori gives an interesting interview in the following link: -

To quote:

I’m even seriously considering about releasing my next artist material through F Communicatons in only vinyl and electronic format. CD is the format that is going to disappear eventually.

The interview is from March 2007, so I guess he is referring to the material being released now.

Latest news on this single suggest that it is set for release on 3rd March 2008.

A1 - Never Been here Before
B1 - Sasse Remix

also available as digital download.

I suspect there will be a radio/dj edit?

Excellent!!

Thanks Brian - seems I perhaps only got news of the vinyl release.
The download is great value I think.

Cool! I haven't heard this yet. Thanks for the link.

Yup it's up on MySpace now:
..play.com page says "£2.45 Pre-order | Due for release on 02/03/2008"

Looks like a cut & paste of my post above.I cut the prices off..

As for downloads,like many others I'd rather have a cd single with artwork rather than an mp3 with all of the sound quality thrown away.I would be happier if I could get them in a lossless format rather than mp3.
