I don't know the contact info, but there is a guy bootlegging it somewhere
out there on the web.
It always amazes me how badly people want this CD, when if you have the
three EPs, you more than have Blue Day.  It has average art work, and isn't
even all inclusive of the material off the three EPs.  I'd say of all the
Slowdive CDs I own, this one is the least impressive (well, maybe those in
mind singles...).  Of course I still bought it for US$20 when it came out
years ago, but if it had cost $25 or $30, I think I would have passed.

Yeah, but you've gotta understand that NOT EVERYONE has the three EP's (no
matter how easy they were to find a few years ago, they're impossible to
find now) and Blue Day is the next best way to having official copies of
the songs.

well, from my experience, it is much easier to find the three EPs than to
find blue day, provided you aren't picky about format (vinyl vs. CD).
just last week somebody posted that they were selling a lot of Slowdive
material, including some of the EPs (on vinyl).  Many mail-order shops
offer the EPs and other singles from time to time (parasol leaps to mind).
If one is willing to spend the time and the money, it should be possible to
get all three EPs, even now.  It might take a couple months, and may end up
being rather costly, but it is feasible.

Subject: Re: My Blue Day woes.

I have all three EP's and i didn't think that it was TOO easy to come
across them all (not at a decent price anyway; yeah, anyone can get
them...it just depends on the price; i was lucky enough to get slowdive for
eight bucks at my local HMV but i've seen it listed for eighty!).  I had a
much easier time getting my Blue Day.  maybe it just depends on where you
live.  Plus you also have to take into account that a lot of people don't
own turntables anymore (how unfortunate).

PS - it took me over two years!  maybe i'm just slow.

Much of my searching on the web for other ep's has led me to the
conclusion that there is an abundance of these two ep's available on
CD.  I have come across a lot of retailers that list these as available
and no other singles.  I can understand the In Mind Remixes since that
is the most recent ep and maybe there are still a lot floating around,
but I can't really rationalize the ubiquitous presence of Morningrise.  

Anybody got any reasons for this?

Subject: opinions on demo...

ok kids...here goes again....

I've sent a few of these songs to the list before, but now I've added some
new ones to the demo and did a little work on the old ones as well....

the project is called "snowmobile".....

it is encoded in RealAudio....40 kbps...Stereo ISDN....(obviosly sound
quality has suffered but I think it still sounds pretty decent)
(and it is on my work site...so dont publicize it too much :)

Oh...one more thing...try to listen loud with headphones!  I spent a lot of
time doing some panning effects.....

so anyway, tell me what you think!

the whole thing is about 42  minutes long and can be accessed from here:
http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/snowmobile.ram

you can also access it by each song....

1. Intro to Dusk (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/intro.ram):
---this is basically a little intro of samples/ambient noises/and a beat
that comes in.....

2. This Feeling (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/thisfeeling.ram)
---a guitar/overdriven organ based song....

3. Deeper (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/deeper.ram)
---based purely on samples.... a slower beat with a very deep dub
feel...layering sounds as it progresses...

4. Glazed (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/glazed.ram)
---a little beat interval, then a long quiet guitar intro...then the full
song with a poppier feel...consisting mainly of guitar, drums, synth,
vocals...

5. Phosphorous (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/phosphorous.ram)
---electronic song with drum loops, big sweeping synths, etc....with a more
ambient section in the middle....

6. I'll Smile (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/smile.ram)
---ambient guitarwash with vocals.....

7. Broken Brain (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/broken.ram)
---drone song with 303 sequences and beats...thrown through effects

8. Daydreaming (http://www.news.com/Beta/kwood/snow/daydreaming.ram)
---consists of a frantic beat, droney organs, backwards samples, and vocals
a la Neil Halstead...

thanks!

thats where i tried to order it from and after attempting to "find it in
England" it has come up deleted and they can't get any in.  That's what i
mean about not being honest about their stock, they just sort of list the
discography and then after you think youve actually ordered one they try
and find it.  quite annoying.

I agree. I can personally make a long list of every record ever released
and put it up on the web, let people order from the list, and then try to
find the ones they ordered. I just don't see the point though - they'll
just lose a lot of customers, but everyone's doing it (as far as I know -
at least those I have ordered from). "I could probably find it for you,
but it'll take a couple of weeks" - yeah, well I can do that myself and
save the extra bucks you add to the price, thank you.

Actually - I saw something like the "make a long list of every record
ever released" example in real life last weekend when visiting a local
record fair. One of the "companies" there only had a list of records
thick as a couple of BIBLES with them - no actual records, and when I
asked how to get the records in it - they gave me a URL and told me to
send in my order on their site. So I asked if they really had all of
these in stock (it was pretty unbelievable - if they did have all of
those, they would be the biggest record mailorder in the country, and
I had never heard of them before) - and the guy replied - "err, no.
but we work together with a big american mailorder, and we can find
them for you through them." No thanks.

I say list what you have, and leave it at that.

Okay, to those of you looking for rare stuff any rare stuff like Slowdive
EP's, go to every music store in town, and order it.  Chances are pretty
good that it won't show up, but you never know.  I've gotten
Spiritualized's "Fucked Up Inside" (and this was mailorder only at the time
of release), Slowdive's "Holding Our Breath" and "S/T" ep's, and a few
other thing by simply ordering them.  Keep in mind, this was in a mall
record chain, not some out of the way indie store with good supply lines.
I've also seen both Pygmalion and Just For a Day at a Canadian HMV in the
last 3 months.  The moral of this story, you never know what your local
store's distributor has sitting in there warehouse.

Anyone ever see a double-rack space MXR delay unit? I saw one at a
guitar shop today. I didn't get a chance to look at it too closely, but
It looks as if it might be able to do some delay-based modulation
effects too. It was $100. Anyone?
