[Closed] Can't believe I've only just discovered Psyence Fiction

I love it!

It's different. It's not a DJ Shadow solo joint.
Try The Private Press too.

Its good, but Endtroducing came out in '96, 2 years beforehand.

Ah, my mistake re: "the original one". Still a bloody great album!

It's the first Unkle album so you were sort of right 🙂

And now I'm on Never Never Land, sounds promising too...

Uncle haven't release anything for a few years now. Must be due something soon?

Worth checking out [I]Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats[/I] which is a three disc DJ mix under the name of Unklesounds, which originally was a bootleg, then (un)officially released, but now tricky to find at sensible prices.

I think they fell out years back. I did read that there is a feature length documentary being made about the story which would be interesting. Good tunes.

Oo, good tip deadkenny. At least the first two CDs are on soundcloud, so I'll be listening to them later.

There's also this, which I really, really like: "The End" https://soundcloud.com/unkleofficial/james-lavelle-presents-unkle

I think Unkle stuff has got steadily worse, but Psyence Fiction is a teriffic album. One of my favourites. Good guest vocals. Thom York and Richard Ashcroft on great form.

My sources tell me you won't be disappointed. 🙂

They're doing the UNKLE:REDUX audio/visual & orchestra show at Somerset House in July, although presumably much the same show as the Meltdown one from a couple of years ago. I didn't see that so I'm looking forward to it 😀

Psyence Fiction released when I was at uni and I was borderline obsessed with it for months. James Lavelle & Scratch Perverts played a mostly Psyence Fiction set on 5 turntables at the uni later that year (on 5 turntables I think) which is still up there as one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

There's some cracking tracks on the US double CD of Never Never Land...

I'm also a big fan of Edit Music for a Film - especially the Blade Runner mix

Big Unkle fan here!

Thanks for the heads up on Redux - we are up in London that weekend and it's my birthday weekend 🙂

I'm fortunate have virtually the entire back catalogue in UK, US and Japanese spec ( when available )
I'll have to dig it all out.

So many good tunes from Unkle, the mo wax label, James and DJ shadow.

I originally found their music when they did a promo Nike CD on a magazine cover, back in the early 00s

I'm going to UNKLE:REDUX at Somerset House then seeing DJ Shadow at Blue Dot festival the following weekend. As the youth might say "yeah boi!"

I just stumbled into a tent when they were playing a festival, looking for somewhere warm I could be more comfortably drunk in 😆 And it was bloody awesome, one of the sets of the weekend.

As the youth might say "yeah boi!"

nope, that's what old 30-somethings like me would say, because we're not entirely comfortable with actual youth slang these days 😉

Looks like we could have a stw "posse" at Somerset house-babysitter permitting of course.ha.

That's still kind of good news Doris as I'm in my 40s.
