So, those 4 Church remasters aren't enough for you ? Karmic Hit have just released a remaster of Steve Kilbey's double-vinyl solo opus, Remindlessness (with the two tracks that were on the vinyl release, but left off the original CD version).
I gave in and picked up the remaster of Seance, because I never owned already, I must shamefully admit. While I waited at the counter I gave in a little further, and picked up Of Skins and Heart, too (I would've bought Pere Ubu's St Arkansas, but not when it was going for $40). The other two can wait, though I suspect it won't be long. The videos are nothing to write home about, but they're all part of the memories...
I had a tape copy of Hindsight many years ago, thanks to a neighbour, and it was probably the one tape I ever owned that started to (audibly) show signs of the strain of overuse. I used to know every heartbeat of those songs, and hearing some of them again for the first time in a while reminds me that they never left me.
With all these reissues out (the rereleases of the first 3 Go-Betweens albums are out in the UK now), I dunno whether to feel happy or screwed. I'm trying to tread slowly, at least.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.

Remindlessness is incredible. I haven't used my turntable since I moved house 2 years ago, but now you've reminded me I will be setting up the turntable and pulling it out on Saturday. The creativity of the man is amazing and a good advertisement why everybody should have at least a couple of psychadelic experiences. I met SK at a recent gig and was surprised he'd never been to Indonesia but I didn't ask him whether he'd been to India. I reckon there is definitely an Eastern influence to his solo work.

Yes. I wonder if he picked this (eastern influence thing) up via George Harrison ? I know SK's real fond of _All Things Must Pass_, for instance.
I guess the thing I really like about him is the way he just pulls the lyrics out of the air - The Church (apparently) go into the studio, sort out the music, and then the lyrics come afterwards (although in a recent interview, SK did say he'd sit down and write the lyrics in the morning just /before/ they went into the studio. still, even that's impressive). I think I remember hearing how one of the producers of one of their albums back in the 80's had trouble coping with this...
