Regis compiles Vicious Rhythmic Electronics

[Mike D]

This should interest a few of you. Thou, no release date yet.


Karl O'Connor, better known as Regis, has put together an expansive collection of his early work called Vicious Rhythmic Electronics.

"I'm not trying to celebrate my glorious past, as it was anything but glorious," O'Conner says of the new release. Nonetheless, Vicious Rhythmic Electronics traces O'Conner's development from a young industrial artist in early '90s Birmingham to the techno producer he is today, beginning with 4-track demos he recorded under the name Sandra Plays Electronics and culminating with songs that appeared on his albums Gymnastics, Regis and Penetration. A handful of the tracks are previously unreleased, while others appear in an alternate version or have been available only on vinyl until now.

According to O'Connor, the three-disc collection will be packaged by a 16th century German bookbinder that normally does work for the church. It will be released through Downwards.

Great. I missed the 3CD set and it's over £200 on fucking Discogs.

[Mike D]

Right. Just bought the fucking thing.


Thanks for the heads up.

[-Spooky-]

Oh well, then i missed the 3cd bundle too. :/

[Mike Stern]

Me too, but the 3cd bundle was a very limited series (300 copies only for his family I think)...

[Mike D]

Yea I know it was limited but it was released quietly despite promoing it hard. Boomkat, I'm looking at you.

If the other 2 CDs are also £9. Then buying seperately (though you don't get the booklet) you're saving about £11.

I ended up buying a load more CDs too. Damn you Mike! Good thing I was paid yesterday in some ways.

[Mike Stern]

Sorry mate but it's for the love of music!

For my part, I'm not saving money. Shipping cost me £6.50 (((

[Mike D]

To France? That seems a tad excessive.

[Mike D]

So, that single Regis CD arrived.

It comes in a plastic sleeve with card inlay. Was hoping it would come in a digipak or CD case at least. Plastic sleeve stuff just gets lost in my piles of CDs at home. Feels like they just printed CD1 of the set and put it a plastic wallet rather than 'release' this.

Still it's here.
