I discovered the bandstand whilst looking for somewhere to eat my sarnies at the last Cargo gig last year.
I was oblivious to the fact it had been used but I'm glad I've been there.

I received my copy of Metadelic on Tuesday. I'm really pleased with the contents. It's great to hear the 12" extended versions again. I haven't heard them since I got rid of most of my vinyl during the 90's(how I regret that now). The BBC sessions sound really good too. There's the odd gripe on here that there aren't any real rarities included. I guess what was available was included on the double disc reissues. Personally I've got no complaints.

Although I'm not particularly a fan of anything from In Mysterious Ways, it's nice to be able to get rid of the poor quality versions of the BBC sessions and 12" mp3s and have these cleaned up definitive versions. For me, Metadelic is more one 'for the collection', plus it sits nicely alongside Metatronic (though despite being shrink-wrapped, it looks like somebody has played rugby with my Metadelic case )

I really love all the thumbnail images on the booklet – fascinating. Therefore, how disappointed I was to open it and find nothing of the sort inside. I'll have to wait for the LP, so I can enjoy bigger images!

I'm yet to watch the DVD, but I'm guessing it's worth the price tag for this alone, being the first time they've been remastered and issued on DVD.

Friends of Arnold Circus are having their annual picnic / barbecue / festival thing next Sunday, 30th June.

Is it a "bring your own spiral staircase" party?

Or you could play the DVD and press pause when appropriate!

On a different note, is it me or has "Through My Sleeping" been remixed? Or is it the same version as on the 2CD version of Shifting City?

Haha!

I need to double check, but I thought it was the slightly revamped version that appeared on the SC remaster.

Random - but cool.

This is a copy of the same review that appeared in the Helensburgh Advertiser and the Dumbarton Recorder on 25th September.

I wonder where else it got to...

Thanks
