Some of the moderators here are retards. Someone submitted
the Amorphous Androgynous (FSOL) EP Mello Hippo Disco Show
on CD, and I put on the 12". One of the moderators has now
given it a problem because, and I quote: "just wondering why
all these titles are released under Amorphous Androgynous.
Isn't the artist Future sound of london ?"
I'm sorry, but what the fuck? Does he think people would put
it under Amorphous Androgynous if it was a FSOL release? Or
shall we just start putting Polygon Window releases as Aphex
Twin... I mean, why was it released as Polygon Window? For
fuck's sake. The CD doesn't even mention FSOL on it at all.

Erm, some of the moderators there, even, not here.
Obviously.
Sorry. I get more pissed off every time someone gives me a
stupid error.

er, maybe you should not call people retards before you know
all the facts yourself.

I am pretty sure that because they were worried sales would
be adversely affected in the States it was released under
FSOL and not Amorphous Androgynous over there.

The Mello Hippo Disco Show EP was not released in the US.

I thought it was released on Artful Records over there?


 

offline purlieu from Leeds (United Kingdom) on 2004-01-31 05:12 [#01056086]
Points: 1228 Status: Lurker



Nope. I think Artful shipped some copies over as import
versions (at least, this is what their management have told
me, anyway). They would have been Amorphous Androgynous too.
Which is really besides the point. Both the CD and 12" say
Amorphous Androgynous on them, which is why they were both
submitted as Amorphous Androgynous. Were they FSOL, I would
have put FSOL. The guy is basically suggesting I can't read
the sleeve. The only mention of FSOL on the sleeve is
'produced by The Future Sound of London'. There's no mention
at all on the outer sleeve.
Plus, I stated UK as country of release.

heh, fair enough....still it's not worth getting so worked
up over it, he was only querying, it's not as though he was
calling you a liar.

I wouldn't normally get so worked up, only I get so much
crap on discogs. One day I woke up to find four releases
marked as problem, by the same person. All he said was "???"
in every single one of them. Some of these have been on
there for about three months now... aaaaaaagh.
I need to get laid.

The Isness was released in the states under FSOL, I know
that for certain. I think this persons just got their wires
crossed.


 

offline purlieu from Leeds (United Kingdom) on 2004-01-31 05:27 [#01056103]
Points: 1228 Status: Lurker



Yeah. It was their US record company (Cleopatra, of all
people) who decided to release it as FSOL. They didn't do
anything else... no limited editions, no vinyl version, they
didn't do any singles, either. Pretty crap company. In the
UK the whole lot's Amorphous Androgynous - The Isness, The
Otherness, Mello Hippo, Divinity and the next AA album.

Some of the discogs mods are idiots. I've gotten more than
a few ridiculous "fix notes" for my pending releases.

is this the same purlieu who downloaded my rip of the
humanoid peel session, deleted the tags, then put is as a
FSOL release on HIS OWN website with THE WRONG date?

Nope, this is the Purlieu that downloaded the Humanoid Peel
Session from an ftp labelled as being from 1990. Was only
going on the information I had at the time. Stop wittering
about that. :P

i agree that there are more than occasional encounters with
mods on discogs who are unclear on the format, won't allow
any notes, insist on incorrect track titles because of a
website somewhere that lists them that way (when you are
sitting at your computer with the actual release in your
hand), etc..

roygbivcore got a fake warp release listed under his name,
nigel shields. not sure if it's still there, though.

true also "the isness" is by fsol in the u.s.

Oddly there is a WAP169 "Broadcast - Microtronics" and a
WAP171 "Jimmy Edgar - Access Rythm" but no WAP170 at the
moment :P

i have the 12" its quite nice although i didn't go for the
album much. its probably my favourite track, and the remixes
work quite well. shame they didnt make it longer like
cascade.

the rephlex cats dot around aswell. i guess its to do with
re-arranging release dates which seems to happen a lot.

I read somewhere that when someone goes to Warp or Rephlex
and says they have something to release they are assigned a
catalogue number straight away, which is why there are holes
in the numbering as well.

some "gaps" in catalogue numbers on rephlex seem to
co-incide with other releases with strange non-linear
catalogue numbers. so the records probably don't exist. or
they do exist but with different catalogue numbers.

The CD version has two brilliant mixes... Hippo-Drone
(really cool instrumental one) and The World's in
Transience, which is an orchestral one, possibly my
favourite version of the track, actually.

Okay, the bastards gave me another error for a different CD.
Apparently the tracklist is wrong.
I left them a note:

Okay, I have now changed half the song titles so they are
NOT as they read on the sleeve. Better?

Hahaha, WAP 170 Nigel Shields - "I'm Sorry About The
Children" (12")
Without a doubt, the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Xltronic WILL be better than discogs cos:
a)Phobiazero and the gang have a clue
b)Not every moron on the net can add things.
