Hi Jeff – i only had the cassette version too, although i’ve had a copy of the first CD for a while. i agree with you, the clarity’s marvellous! That’s interesting, your speculation about Chris Watson’s contribution; i’ve been a fan of his work for a long time, and you could well be right that a fair amount of the field recordings come from him.
Re. the Autechre/h3o collaboration, the latest info i have is from Jochen Schwartz at Die Stadt; i don’t know if you’re on that mailing list, but his message in late February said this: “In the making is the Third and final (?) part of the AUTECHRE/THE HAFLER TRIO collaboration. This will be a 2DVD this time as both artists have constructed pieces of 2 (!) hours length each. Again it’ll come in a luxurious sleeve like the previous two parts before, and will be a joint Die Stadt / Simply Superior release this time.” i’ve emailed him today for an update.
I’d been waiting for this release for a long time. I’ve had the cassette version for over a decade. Never had the other CD version, so this was the first time I heard a completely cleaned-up version; it’s stunning. I was impressed with how the booklet was done too, and how it differs from the other Korm re-releases. It retains the spirit of the old Staaltape inserts.
Anyways, I think that a LOT of Dislocation came from Chris Watson. I hadn’t followed Watson’s “solo” career until very recently and didn’t know that he did so many field recordings. I just bought Weather Report and Watson’s tracks from Touch:25. I always loved the travel / locational aspect of Dislocation (and love it even more, now, with this re-release), and Weather Report is a perfect companion release.
Any word yet on when the third ae/h3o release is supposed to hit the streets?
