The Church Spotify Soundrop-room

feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:32:43 PST

http://open.soundrop.fm/s/W5BeNU83Jbr4WQNI

There is a room for The Church and solo and sideprojects. Click the link and you will hear it in Spotify if you have it. If you sign in to Soundrop then you can follow that room and other rooms they have in Soundrop. After signing you can also edit the room yourself. Soundrop is sort of like radio with a playlist that you can edit and then vote for songs to be played next.

At first I thought to put all songs by the band and solo projects on that room but that was apparently too much. I don't know the limit of songs in one room but it's not +200. So in the end I decided to include one or two songs that was generally regarded as the best from every album that I could find. Some albums were missing so some songs had to be replaced by songs from Deep In The Shallows-comp. For example there was...

Lemuria

feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) — Sat, 12 May 2012 05:46:04 PST

Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The concept's 19th century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities in biogeography; however, the concept of Lemuria has been rendered obsolete by modern theories of plate tectonics. Although sunken continents do exist – like Zealandia in the Pacific and the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean – there is no known geological formation under the Indian or Pacific Oceans that corresponds to the hypothetical Lemuria[citation needed].

Though Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis, it has been adopted by writers involved in the occult, as well as some Tamil writers of India. Accounts of Lemuria differ, but all share a common belief that a continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of a geological, often cataclysmic,...

Mehal - Oranges & Seals

feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) — Thu, 10 May 2012 00:36:38 PST

Anyone heard this Mehal stuff? It was supposedly out in March 2011 but I only found out about it today when I perused Marty's Spotify presence. There it was this Mehal-album with guest apearances by Marty, Tiare and Dare on 4 tracks out of 12. Pretty okay dark noir acoustic folk rock and I was quite entertained to hear it couple of times. They have Reverbnation-page too: http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/808492
Guest appearance songs are: Touch, We Come From Here, A Song For..., Hippy Tree. I think the opener Touch had a nice atmospheric touch.

Soundboard Bootlegss of The Church

feeds@yuku.com (BlueBlood3000) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:04:46 PST

Anyone have any idea why there's so few of them out there? I presume the band themselves maintains recordings of every show they perform, if for no other reason than "self-examinatin," if you will. But perhaps I'm wrong about that?

If I'm right, then I suppose the band themselves prefer their (amazing and powerful) live performances not be released.

I'm interested to hear other's thoughts on this, as listening to live music by the Church is important to me.

HERESY: would it be heretical to ask for MP3s?

feeds@yuku.com (avocadro) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:14:40 PST

Hi everyone, I have misplaced my CD copy of Heresy, the tribute project made by wombers (and if I were to find it I'm afraid it would have some bit-rotting, the lifetime of data on CD-R is not always great).

So the question is if anyone knows if the MP3s are available somewhere, or if someone is willing to upload them.

This of course only if no participants of the project (or even the band, or the mods of HW, of course) object to it.

I think this would also be good for newer fans that never heard of this project to be able to hear these lovingly made tribute versions by fans.

As I mentioned (posted) in the Welcome Forum, I am somewhat new here and have quiet enjoyed going back through the various forums and reading about the band. By the way, to those that welcomed me, thanks. I'm just gonna throw out some thoughts, observations, opinions that don't merit their own specific topic but I felt like sharing so here goes...

It is damned refreshing to see this other side of SK. His speech at the ARIA shindig was quiet captavating. He seemed almost boyish. As enigmatic and mysterious as he has seemed to be through all of these years that I've followed the band (lifer since 85) I thought it was maybe the most human-real spontaneous moment I've seen from him. If anything (MWP's ending quip about losing the mysteriousness) I think it added a whole new level to the man. Preaching to the choir here but it was nice to see what I consider (sans Beatles 65-70) the greatest band and lyricist ever to get oh so deserved recognition.

Have also fallen in love...

"Songs in Space" - new radio show

feeds@yuku.com (timetunnel) — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:40:15 PST

Dear earthlings, I hope you're all doing well

On Saturday, March, 10th, at 20:00 (8 p.m.) Central European Time the first episode of my first radio show called "Songs in Space" will be aired. It will also be streamed on the internet at the same time.

Some of you might notice the slight resemblance of the show's name to a certain song by a certain band - which is no coincidence actually. I had the idea of making this kind of radio show when listening to this certain song: "hey, I'm a music nerd and a sci-fi nerd - these two things could join forces" - and, presto, the idea was born.

So, what kind of show is it?

Songs in Space is a radio show created by me and broadcasted by the local non-commercial radio station of my home town, "StadtRadio Göttingen" in Germany. Apart from the show's regular local radio broadcast it will also be streamed live on the radio station's homepage at the same time. Soooo, if you want to check it out, go to

hello to all

feeds@yuku.com (nairb) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:14:15 PST

Hi fellow Church fans.

I'm a Texas boy, well solidly middle aged guy, that has been a fan of the band since buying Heyday on vinyl way back in '85. Since that time, many bands have come and gone from my personal favorites category but The Church has stood the test of time (well, except for that rut they hit with Sometime Anywhere and the Magician albums, tho' both have worthwhile moments). It's not easy to put into words why they are so damned specical. There's a timeless quality in everything they do and the subtelty in their best work often puts goosebumps on my arms. When I listen and I'm in "the zone" there is a euphoric melancholia that washes over me that no other music that I've heard matches. That feeling, that headspace, that The Church's music opens the door to is what I so appreciate. Real art.

The only regret that I have regarding the band is that I haven't had a chance to see them live as often as I would like. I saw them a few times in 06 and before that...

Church on Vinyl

I've decided to start collecting records so I can enjoy the artwork and experience. Anyone know which church records are available on Vinyl? I'd like to start with Forget Yourself and Hologram of Baal if they are available.

Steve Kilbey Acoustic and Intimate VHS NTSC 9.04.2000 to trade

feeds@yuku.com (Oceanic Blues) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 02:21:40 PST

Hello Dear wombers,

Is anyone interested by having an official copy and make a trade with me?It's a Video that is out of print and pretty rare.
The truth is that I can't play it on my VCR correctly because it's NTSC and I live in France which is PAL system.
It should be playable in the USA.

Let me know if you're up for a trade.
Send me a PM if you're interested.

Nicolas.
