David Bowie - Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) [Box set #5]

Only draw back is you are out of pocket for a short while on 2 sets. Doesn’t hurt anybody and they will return to Parlo for a refund themselves or resell as a cheap warehouse deal.

Telling Lies Mix EP, Little Wonder 2 Remix EPs, Deadman Walking Remix EP and Im afraid of Americans Remix EP all on streaming.
2022 remasters for most of the tracks and a couple of extras, too boot.

 

Interesting that this hasn’t been mentioned anywhere official yet. Especially since it’s clearly connected to Earthling’s 25 anniversary yesterday. And since there seem to be some never previously released mixes in there.

 

The "unplugged" mix of "Little Wonder" is previously unreleased, and really something neat:



There's also a previously unreleased mix of "Nuts" on these digital EPs.

 

Is the nuts mix available to hear on YouTube or anywhere? I don't have subscription streaming and don't plan to. I like that song a lot.

 

Here you go:



Probably falls into the "interesting but inessential" category for me, but I'm still glad they included it.

 

Does it seem likely that these EP sets will be available on physical formats? I really like the I'm Afraid Of Americans and Telling Lies EPs so it would be great to have the option to buy them (although, hopefully not in limited edition forms like Is It Any Wonder? which they would not replace despite it being damaged).

 

I think there's very little chance they will reissue these on physical form. EMI didn't for all the 80s-era digital EPs they reissued in the 2000s. The good news is: the original CD singles are still around, and pretty easy to come by

 

I would still spring for a “best of” 2 or 3 disc remix compilation from the 90s. There are some really interesting tracks buried amongst all the boring four on the floor club mixes.

 

Agreed, a digestible-length D n' B (with the backwards NIN-aping symbol) 90s Remix Adventure compilation on 2xCD & 4x12" would be swell

How's that 9th edition of l'Academie coming along? Been taking about thirty years to get it published, but anyhow I'm sure nothing from A to Enzyme will have needed updating since 1992...

 

Thank you for posting the Nuts. Remix. I would love to get all of these on physical media if possible. I'll take digital but I like having the physical. I can hold and as a safety in case something happens to my digital files.

 

Just burn the files to CDR DVD R or BDR ... job done.

 

I meant also to play in/on a CD player . Yes I still like doing that. Can flac be turned into CD playable? I assume it's wav CDs use?

 

You can easily make an audio CD .. with flac files.
Heres a simple quide.

Thank you

 

The reason I had to hang up was I thought there was some sort of tricky business with. I don't want the right word. Is folding down or converting if you're digital is 24 96 since a CD is 16/44. What do you do then so it doesn't mess it up and converts properly?

 

Make way for the homo superior

 

The issue with all these digital releases is, that you don't own the music. You paid, but you don't own it.
You kind of rented it. You think it's yours, until someone pulls it off the source it is on - like neil young
and joni mitchell recently...

 

There are ways to turn that around, which is almost what they force a fan to do.

 

I assume you’re speaking towards streaming, because I’ve bought many a thing off iTunes over the years that have since been pulled and I still have the files. Streaming would be a different story though

 

This 'ownership' malarkey confuses the issue, intentionally or not. Do you truly own the music on your CD collection? Or is it that you have notched bits of plastic with a license for personal use of the music encoded in them, with prohibitions on sharing / public broadcast (depending on your jurisdiction)?

 

I thought that issue was settled for physical media by a surcharge agreed to by the music “industry.” Or was that just blank cassettes and CD-Rs?
