SYR7 release date
 

According to allmusic.com, it's the "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" performance, and it comes out on April 22, 2008. Still listed as vinyl only.

yay, that's my birthday.

however, since allmusic still has the "live at albert hall" (2003) and "syr 6: sonic youth/brigitte fontaine/areski" (2002) releases listed in their discogrpahy they're not exactly the most reliable source.

J'Accuse Ted Hughes - it was noisy ?

Hahha. I noticed both of those again as I started this thread. Thanks for providing needles for our balloons, yo.

I'm still totally disapointed with the vinyl release only. Actually this disc, that was the thing I was waiting for the most a year ago, has become something I'm indifferent too, I didn't even feel excitation or joy seeing the title of this thread. That's bad they did that to such a great tune

I think it might be out even earlier. Someone should start a petition to release it on CD too.

I hate to perpetuate a tug-o-war that we already went thru in another thread... but I too would really prefer this on CD. I mean, I'll get it either way. But I'd much rather have the CD.

they should do a shellac-like release.

OK, who starts a petition thread?

Sadly I don't think that's going to change anything, even more now that the release date is so near... :(

well, in a few years it will be reissued, just like happened with master dik ha ha

Nevermind yr poxy CDs, where's the petition to release SYR6 on vinyl?:)

Just hit my email:

"Also coming this Spring is
SYR7: J'Accuse Ted Hughes. ”J’Accuse Ted Hughes” is a live recording
from 2000’s ATP Festival paired with a previously unreleased studio
session entitled “Agnes B Musique.” This release is a 12” vinyl record
only."

Nefeli beat me

you are fast. :)

Hey dude. I know it's great to have your collection of vinyl of stuff, I can totally understand that. But the fact is that, even if it's CD only, at least you have the possibility to HEAR the music, you know? Like, even you don't have a HI-FI player, at least you can play it on your computer or whatever: everyone can play CDs.

Now, with releasing SYR7 as vinyl-only, a certain part of the fans - including myself - will not even be able to HEAR the thing we have waited so much for.

See how much I was waiting for this to come: http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...7accuse+Hughes

vinyl ripping is the new thing. ja ha hahaha.

Oh come on, it'll only be a matter of minutes before some kind soul rips & uploads it somewhere. And if you feel dirty doing that, you can always salve your conscience by buying the LP and having a nice aesthetic object to look at ;)

And, as it happens, my soundcard's fucked so I can't play anything through my computer, and aside from a Sega Dreamcast, I don't own a CD or DVD player either. Admittedly I have got a CD player on extended load from a friend, but it's not even hooked up at the moment..

Totally agree...

the news page confirms it will be out on April 22nd.

Fuck. Vinyl only.

And, Radarmaker, Dreamcast fucking rules.

If they want to put it out om vinyl only, fuck it, let them. The SYR series is about more than just music, methinks.

Given that it's a 22-minute improvised drone, I don't think potential sales figures are that high a priority anyway...

I like you, radarmaker. I like your style.

Actually I think it's kind of a lack of respect... First for a part of their fans that will not be able to hear it without downloading it, but also because
so many want to be heard by more people and now what, that's just like with this vinyl only release they want it to be heard by less people... I don't know if I explained clearly

y'know, they say "vinyl only," but every other release that's come out on SYR has been made available digitally on eMusic (and probably iTunes? I don't know). Seems to me there's a CHANCE it will be up on eMusic. If that happens then we'll have nice clean sounding versions to play in our cars/mp3 players.

but still my main reason for wanting it a CD release is that I like the idea of seeing SYR7 on the shelf next to SYR1-6.

Hear, Hear! Ditto for The Silver Sessions, which is basically a SYR release once-removed.

About the SYR6 on vinyl. I think it wouldn't fit in that format. I mean, okay it's divided in 3 parts on the CD but it's actually ONE tune. It's meant to be listened all the way through without interruption, isn't it? So I mean, how the fuck could you divide it in 2/3/4 parts for a LP/2xLP ?

I'd make each of the 3 tracks a seperate side. So two 12"s. The 4th side could be an etching.

Word. Always thought it should be a translucent silver/grey 12" with a glitterly finish :)

I don't know... you see, you'd still have pauses when you have to change side, on CD you don't have that problem. I think vinyl doesn't fit for albums that are better listened all the way through, like Bad Moon Rising, Loveless or recently Drum's Not Dead by Liars for instance...

Well if they didn't think it was ok to split the performance into 3 parts, then the CD would have come out as 1 track.

I get what you're saying, but personally I couldn't imagine ever listening to Loveless on CD (don't think I have tbh, or BMR for that matter...) - that is one album that is all about the bottom end and depth of sound, and no digital version will ever compare to sound you can get from a half-decent analogue set-up.

If you check carefully, the tracklisting of the CD doesn't say part 1 etc, it says "Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui 65'31". Because the tune is split into three tracks doesn't mean it isn't meant to be listened as one...

True, but when SYR records uploaded it to eMusic, they titled the tracks "Heady Jam 1," "Heady Jam 2," and "Heady Jam 3." Normally, I wouldn't take what the label titled the tracks as meaning much, but considering SYR is SY then it seems to me that they consider them to be 3 separate "jams."

just bye a vinyl player, i'm sure you'll discover new kind of music;
There's so much good sounds available only on wax, i don't even know how a music fanatic can live without a vinyl player.
I'm sure, it will be nicer to have your syr-7 close to your syr-1 to syr-6 on wax than on cd.
each firts syr are on coloured wax, man, it is much much more beautiful on wax
fuck cd's, get wax

I'm sorry, but I don't want to buy a turntable just for SYR7, you see... for the moment, that's the only record I want that is only available on vinyl, so I don't see the need to buy one.

I'm getting sick of these arguments..... many of us on here already OWN RECORD PLAYERS. We are not AGAINST vinyl. We like vinyl. But we'd ALSO like a CD. To go along with the vinyl. The vinyl looks good, sounds great at home. The CD can be played in a car/easily ripped to mp3 player for commutes.

cd's, mp3 are just fucking digital code
vinyl is concrete, existing, you can almost touch it
that's music
