As it happens, I just got off the phone to him. The mix is all new material from him and collaborators and it's fucking great. A proper treat.

Is Fabric a band or a club or a what? I know nothing about this except Villalobos.


Talk to me.

Fabric is a club in London - it's a fantastic fucking place. They do a series of albums, one a month. They're well worth seeking out - here's a list of them all. None of them are bad - quite a feat!

The new one is Villalobos and it's soopa-doopa.

10 pounds plus shipping plus it says it's not available yet.

You have an actual copy or just a download?

It's promo. But well worth the outlay...

When I was in the US a few weeks ago they had them on offer at Virgin Megastore for $12 each. Don't know if that's any help.

Fabric 36 doesn't show up on their website yet, but I'm assuming it'll happen next month.

Thanks for the tip -- I would've never heard about this.

No bother - it's well worth subscribing to the series. They have some beauties. He's got a proper full length album due soon.

Here's this interview (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wGGXz4dbNTo), if you want. Kind of amusing after about 1:30.

Grrrr....

Just talked to a guy at a record store I go to. Fabric 36 isn't released in the U.S. yet.

Amazon has an import copy which ships in 4-6 weeks. Hopefully the U.S. version will be out before that.

Did you read the Pitchfork wanking session over it?
abcdefz

:D


No. But they usually like his stuff.

Did you see the Pitchfork article in The Onion? Something like "Pitchfork gives music 6.8."

Ha! No, I haven't. I'll check it out. (y)

Parkey -- thanks again for the heads up about this Fabric CD. My copy finally came in the mail and I'm listening to it for the first time now.

I like it but need to hear it some more. I just got to "4 Wheel Drive" and that's the first cut that blows me away like his stuff usually does.

I likes, I likes.
