I recently spent ages looking for a copy of This Is the Day... This Is the Hour... This Is This! by Pop Will Eat Itself. I found a grand total of 0.00000 PWEI albums.
Then the moose gave me one he found in the boot of his car. Naturally enough two days later I found a copy for sale at Real Groovy... but never mind.
I am now looking for any & all PWEI cds I can find. In particular:
Cure For Sanity
The Looks or the Lifestyle
Two Fingers My Friends (esp. the 2cd version)
I wouldn't mind the early EPs, the Radio 1 sessions and the live album, but these are the three I really want. Can anyone help?
Posted by pearce at August 15, 2006 12:44 PMI have the 2 CD version (real CDs!) of Dos Dedos, and Cure for Sanity in mp3.
Posted by: dritchie at August 15, 2006 1:05 PMI will be *so* jealous if you were to luck upon the 2CD edition of Dos Dedos... I've been looking for that, on and off, for about seven years now and have never even come close...
Posted by: Scott A at August 15, 2006 2:16 PMOh, by the way, "Two Fingers" is currently on realgroovy.co.nz *right now* as a second-hand item.
I don't think it's the 2CD version though.
Posted by: Scott A at August 15, 2006 2:23 PMOooh! Third comment in a row!!!
What do you think of "This is the day..." now, so many years later?
I still love it: despite the tinny production and
it's very-1989 sampling gimmick, I still play it (loud) once or twice a month.
Dave: Ooooh!
Scott: It's awesome. It might be nice to get a good remastered version, but it actually holds up very well. Caaaan u dig it? Hell yeah!
I like the sound of it more than some of their later stuff, e.g. the rather awful early '90s synth sound that spoils some of Cure For Sanity.
Good point about 1989. That year gave us the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique and De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising, in which the Dust Brothers and Prince Paul (respectively) revolutionized sampling. This Is the Day... could almost be a snotty UK heavy metal version of that aesthetic.
And all three bands have a silly-with-an-edge attitude that works well. De La are probably the ones your mother is most likely to approve of.
Posted by: Pearce at August 15, 2006 2:43 PMYeah... 1989: the great year for some amazing sample-based releases. It is very valid to link Paul's Boutique, 3 Feet High and Rising and This is the Day... on the reason alone.
But then, of course, De La Soul got sued and, well, we all know what happened next...
