Finally getting her out of storage. Let’s see if I’m a good enough mechanic to figure out what all damage has been done and get it fixed #galaxie500

Galaxie 500- Uncollected Noise New York '88-‘90 (Silver Current/20-20/20)

As a huge Galaxie 500 fan, this was certainly a pleasant surprise. As the title states, it’s all of their uncollected odds and sods recordings at Mark Kramer‘s Noise New York studio for the two years mentioned. There are eight never-before-heard songs and then other outtakes and demos to hear different versions of classics like "Oblivious," "King of Spain," and the version of "Blue Thunder" with the saxophone.

The real treat here is some of the unreleased stuff. The opener, "Shout You Down," is a fantastic song and is much faster than the band's other material, while "See Through Glasses" has some of that classic Dean Wareham scratchy guitar. And another favorite is the snappy, bouncy "On the Floor."

In the late 80s, a lot of bands were leading worlds towards being loud and bombastic, but Galaxie 500 (Dean Wareham, Naomi Yang, and Damon Krukowski) were happily creating their own world in a practice space somewhere in the Boston area. Their songs were light, slight, and beautiful and really cemented their place in history after only three LPs. This record truly helps complete the story.

日本が誇るインディー・ポップ、ドリーム・ポップのオリジネイター、sugar plantの1998年の名作『happy』が初のリマスターでカセット発売決定！

同時発売は2000年リリースの『dryfruit』を2018年のリマスター音源で再発。サイケデリックなシャーデーと評された名作がボーナス・トラック2曲を収録してのリリースとなる。

Bandcampにて先行配信スタート https://kilikilivilla.bandcamp.com/

インディー、音響、ポスト・ロック、アンビエント、ディープ・ハウス、90年代からジャンルを超えたサウンドを��いできたシュガー・プラント。現在Spotifyでの月間リスナーは常に30,000人を超え、アメリカを中心に海外での評価がまた高まっている。ここ数年のSlowdive、Mazzy Starの復活などシューゲーズ・サウンドの再評価とKhruangbinやBonobo、Cigarettes After Sexなどのメロー・グルーヴへの日本からの返答として静かに注目されている。

今回のカセット・リイシューは最高傑作と名高い1998年リリースの『happy』をリマスター、音の解像度が上がりさらに奥行きを増したサウンドとなっている。ボーナス・トラックとしてフランスのアンビエント・アーティストによる「rise」のリミックスを収録。

sugar plant / happy (2024 Remaster) 2月28日発売 KKV-169CA カセット＋DLコード 2,200円税込 収録曲 Side A 1.happy 2.rise 3.butterfly Side B 1.rainy day 2.stone 3.rise (A Reminiscent Drive Remix)

sugar plant / dryfruit (2018 Remaster) 2月28日発売 KKV-170CA カセット＋DLコード 2,200円税込 収録曲 Side A 1.a rain desecration 2.simple 3.behaind the ear 4.thunder 5.dryfruit 6.a furrow Side B 1.ten years 2.august 3.13 4.indigo 5.simple (dub) 6.a furrow (dub) 『dryfruit』はエンジニアに内田直之を迎え、削ぎ落とした演奏とシンプルなアレンジが独特の響きを持ち、より深い空間を感じさせる。リリース当時はサイケデリックなシャーデーと評され、ドイツのレーベルからヨーロッパ盤がリリースされた。オリジナルの発売時に限定で付けられた内田直之による2曲のダブ・ミックスも収録。

sugar plant 1993年に結成、インディー・バンドとして活動を開始。95年に1stアルバム『hiding place』を日米同時リリースし、以後すべての音源は海外でもリリースされている。同年には初のアメリカ・ツアーを行い、翌1996年にはアメリカでレコーディングした曲を含むミニ・アルバム『cage of the sun』をリリースし、同年アメリカでレコーディングと二度目のツアーを行う。そこでレコーディングされた『After After Hours』ではクラブ・カルチャーからの影響を反映した斬新なサウンドでインディー・ファンだけでなくポスト・ロックや音響派など幅広いシーンから支持され、アメリカのカレッジ・チャートで大きな評判となる。次作『trance mellow』ではよりディープなスタイルを追求しクラブ・シーンでも評判となり、この頃から野外レイヴやクラブ・イベントでのライブが増える。

1998年リリースの『happy』は前作の『trance mellow』との2枚組でアメリカ発売となり、3度目のUSツアーを行う。

2000年エンジニアにDry & Heavy、Little Tempoの内田直之をむかえたアルバム『dryfruit』をリリース、2002年にはドイツ盤も発売された。

2002年には松本大洋原作の映画『ピンポン』のサントラに「rise」が収録され話題となる。

以後、マイペースにライブ活動を継続し2018年ついに18年ぶりのアルバム『headlights』をリリース。

Galaxie500やYo La TengoなどのUSインディーに大きな影響受けたロック・バンドとして活動を開始、当初からはっきりと海外志向があり実際すべての音源が海外リリースとなっている。3度にわたるアメリカ・ツアーではSilver ApplesやLow、Yo La Tengoなどとの共演も経験し当時まだ人気のあったカレッジ・チャートでは大きな評判となった。90年代中旬、日本のクラブ・シーンの黎明期をメンバーがその中心で体験したことによりバンドのサウンドもより広がりを見せ、ポスト・ロックや音響派の先駆けとしても評価は高い。

CD longbox for the 1991 reissue of Galaxie 500′s debut album, Today, by U.S. label Rough Trade.

I hereby declare this Longbox Week here on the blog. Why? Because I was one of those weirdos who kept those cardboard sheaths from that short-lived transitional period from LP to CD dominance from the 1980s to early 90s. (My Game Theory longbox post couple of months ago has more on that history.)

I was inspired to post this particular example based on my volunteer activity this past weekend. I was among the music fans, librarians and data nerds helping the Harvard Library (with the Boston Public Library) add data to Wikimedia about The Arthur Freedman Collection, a treasure trove of live recordings by Boston bands from the late 1970s to the early 90s. While I didn’t add any data for Galaxie 500 (alas, not present in that collection), I created an entry for Busted Statues and enhanced the Gigolo Aunts entry with record label info.

As for this longbox itself, my acquisition of it in 1991 with the CD purchase of Galaxie 500′s first album was... a bit anti-climactic. Of course I’d bought the LP in 1988, when it was first released by little Boston label Aurora Records. But then, on a trip the following year to Los Angeles, I spotted in the CD racks of Aron’s Records: a CD version of Today! It had been issued by a European label called Schemer that year. The price was painfully high ($20, IIRC), but—using a trick that I’d later fall for many times over with Japanese CD releases from my favorite bands—this disc included two, non-album bonus tracks. One was “King of Spain,” which I had on the b-side to the “Tugboat” single. But the other track was “Crazy,” a song that I’d never heard. I just had to have it. So I forked over some of my dwindling vacation cash, and the disc was mine.

So when Galaxie 500′s U.S. label, Rough Trade, finally got around to reissuing Today in 1991, I... bought it anyway. They were just one of those bands about which I was a completist. And hey, what a spiffy longbox! Sure, it features a zoomed-in, cropped segment of the LP cover photo on the front that I’m sure violates the original art direction intent. But it’s still worlds better than the crappy, cut-inducing, plastic blister pack that housed my Schemer disc.

These are in reverse order, but it seems I may have found what is causing the hydraulic lifter noise. I’m pretty sure that there is supposed to be oil dripping out of the rocker arm shaft, but there isn’t. I tried priming the pump by removing the distributor and driving the oil pump with a power drill, but nothing came out. I then tried priming the pump with oil under the distributor, and still nothing came out. So now I’m left wondering if I have a failed oil pump or if I put the head gaskets on the wrong way. Guess imm have to go back through my pictures to make sure I didn’t do it wrong. But I really don’t want to go through replacing the oil pump either... #galaxie500 #ford #leadsled #64galaxie500 #64galaxie #1964galaxie #1964galaxie500 #natashathegalaxie #oldford #oldcar #oldcars #classiccars #classiccar #elcajon #galaxie #builtnotbought #ford390 #igerssandiego #projectcar #lifters #valves #rockerarms https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfgco_AJL_/?igshid=h0a6enf5pz4a

A Beautiful Visitor. I went to @beachstreetfelixstowe on Saturday to have a look at their classic car event. I saw some really amazingly well-kept classics and some really rare cars. One of the car owners taking part told me about this beauty parked just outside the event and I had to go take a look. I'm glad I did because I love Ford Galaxie 500s and this 1968 6.4 litre beast was a great additional surprise to all the wonderful selection of cars I had already seen. Photographing it outside Magnums Tattoo Studio gives it that GTA vibe which was perfect for the style of car 😄👌 . . . . . . . #ford #galaxie #galaxies #galaxie500 #cars #carsofinstagram #carstagram #carswithoutlimits #car #cargram #carphotography #carlovers #carlover #bnw #bnwmood #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #bw_captures #bw_addiction #bnwphotography #streetphotography_bw #streetphotography #street #photographylovers #classiccars #classiccar #vintage #vintagestyle #felixstowe #suffolk (at magnums tattoo studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkpGzasL1l/?utm_medium=tumblr
