Exited the family half-term break for a bit and popped into ‘Not Just A Record Shop’ in Eastbourne after spotted it driving by earlier.
Regeneration is a repress, Gong is a UK original. Good prices and discount for cash, nice little shop!
Nice. Are you wearing two right shoes?
Yes I like to stand out from the crowd!

Pourquoi pas?!
Reissues of Warp sabres stuff here and t-shirts
They’re doing fabric tonight anyone going ?
Were they any good live back in the day? I never bothered, was always a bit disappointed with the Sabresonic album…
We went to see them in a car park near Tottenham Court Road and Weatherall then dj’d. That was fun. It was early days and we were young and foolish so I think we had a great time. Not sure what they’d sound like now… I imagine they play the record if you know what I mean…
I liked them - sultry and bass-heavy with leather trench coats and a significant stage presence. I also liked Andrew playing that Lynch Mob bonus beats tune and some banging Dave Clark Red business. All good.
I bought Smokebelch 1 on 12" and loved it. Then bought II and loved it. Then bought Sabresonic and didn’t love it. Was too dark for me at the time, I probably like a few tunes on it more now, but for me it didn’t really work.
But then I remember going to see Weatherall in '94 and Theme had just come out and it felt like everyone was waiting to hear that and tunes like it, but he played the most obnoxious clattering Techno bollocks instead, it was utterly painful 
. And he didn’t give a fuck that he emptied the room pretty much. Got to admire that 
Yes, I’ve seen Lena Willikens a few times and I really love her tunes. She usually fits in an old Sabres tune somewhere along the line. Works for me I guess, but I can see why people may think it’s dark. It is! But that’s what makes the light shine brighter maybe?
Get the email about the Payfone LP on the way, really excited to hear it.
Loved and still love Sabresonic. Dark, moody and a hint of menace.
Great album. Tonto is a fave. You can just feel the Katz / Steely Dan connections running through it.
I have it sat next to this album on the shelf. Another Katz production. Similar ish vibe…
Whatever happened to Rosie Vela? That album’s great.
@Moodynann hadn’t realised the Steely Dan connection!
