Further to my recent post about Steven Wilson‘s fantastic album Insurgentes, there have been developments. For those fancying themselves as a budding remixer, Wilson has made available material from the opening track, “Abandoner”; go here for more info and the audio stems—there’s also a very nice, mellow remix on there by Engineers, well worth checking out.
Of rather more interest, though, is that there’s finally an alternative for those who missed out on the initial deluxe 2-CD edition, limited to 3,000 copies. Of course, if you really want to, it’s possible to find copies on eBay, but you’ll end up paying in the region of £150-200 for it. On the other hand, the Japanese edition has recently been released, on an HQ CD, with a 40-page booklet, and—crucially—the second CD containing the additional tracks not available elsewhere. There don’t appear to be many copies floating around yet, but prices are much more reasonable, around £40-50. For two such auctions, simply look for ‘Insurgentes’ on Ebay or just go here or here, or if you want to save even more money (but may have to wait longer), take your chances with cdJapan here.
And finally, an HD version of the new “Harmony Korine” video can be seen here.
