T.D. Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 https://sunramusic.bandcamp.com/album/strange-strings-expanded DL, vinyl, CD About time this got reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Pre-ordered. But wasn't this reissued once before, legitimately or otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 On Evidence, about 15 years ago. But this is "expanded." And if previous reissues are to be repeated, this will sound really good, from better tapes and more carefully mastered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Yeah, just what I was gonna say. There are 5 extra tracks on this one. They mention a dozen being found. Why not include those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 It's the "expanded" that got me. I have the Evidence version, but this is MORE!!!!! 2 minutes ago, rostasi said: They mention a dozen being found.

New liner notes by David Toop, in addition to more music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Could have sworn I have an Evidence cd. Anyway, it's in storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Atavistic it is, just checked. https://www.discogs.com/master/143598-Sun-Ra-And-His-Astro-Infinity-Arkestra-Strange-Strings?image=1081217.SW1hZ2U6MTQzNzM2OQ%3D%3D No matter, this new one is MORE!!!

romualdo Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 This has been available as a download (with extra material via Anderson/Chusid) since 2014, listed as such in Art Yard's "Omniverse" (2015, p188, #88) The extra ten & a half minute track (Door Squeak) that was a bonus on the Atavistic release (2007) is not included. The version of Strange Strange on the Atavistic release runs at 20:24 whilst the version on the upcoming CD (via Bandcamp site)Â is only 8:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 maybe we are in the era of LESS is MORE ! I like the door squeak myself. I also like the Pierre Henry door squeak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 I have the Atavistic CD and all the songs in this "expanded" edition seem to be some seconds shorter than Atavistic ones. Is it alternate take or merely a tape speed correction or something? And Door Squeak is not included. I think Door Squeak is essential for Strange Strings.

clifford_thornton Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 speed correction would not surprise me, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
