I broke down and ordered Glow and Fade on orange vinyl via Discogs. I can’t stop listening to this album.
Steve posted on Instagram that new Kilbey/Kennedy project is completed, no details given. Can’t wait, Jupiter 13 is brilliant.
Nice to come across threads on The Church & Steve Kilbey. Just ordered Chryse Planitia! 5 minutes ago & then did a thread search finding this thread. I've usually listened to The Church/ Priest = Aura, less frequently Starfish. Recently purch. El Momento Descuidado & enjoying that very much, so was looking for something similar. As someone else had mentioned, I, too had been unaware Steve Kilby has had such a prolific solo carerer & side-projects. This collaboration between Steve & Gareth Koch seems made by angels & like it will nicely hit that sweet spot! Ophelia Without Wine
It doesn't come cheap since it had poor distribution and went out of print fast, but if you like Descuidado you'll enjoy the follow-up El Momento Siguente. That one is more experimental ("Reptile" as lounge jazz, "Electric Lash" as country-pop, "Tantalized" as Indian music) but there are some real gems, especially "Song In The Afternoon" and the cover of "Wide Open Road". Kilbey's also just done an acoustic remake of the debut Church album.
Thank you. I'd been checking that out, too, but went with Descuidado & very happy with it. I do enjoy artists doing reimaginings of their content & that diversity you're mentioning. I may likely, at some point, think further about Siguente, as well as side project w/Martin Kennedy - Unseen Music, Unheard Words...& Sydney Rococo..& Eleven Women, and, and, and! I just don't pack things in all at once, preferring to savor dedicated spins of each new-to-collection title for a bit.
I just ordered a reasonably priced one of these, can’t wait for it to arrive, it sounds amazing. I too couldn’t keep up w steve! I had his first album unearthed on cassette back in the day. Always loved that album. Takes me right back to where i was when that came out. I only now have just discovered kilbey/kennedy and wow this is like the ultimate steve! Incredible stuff.
Upgraded my copy of Steve’s debut when i found this original Australian pressing. It’s on nice heavy vinyl and ir includes an inner sleeve that the common Enigma domestic didn’t have. And this one is autographed by Steve!
