Well, turns out the sample mixes are slightly different to the original album versions, probably in the same way as crooked timber / crooked timber breathless fx mix. Only 2 full on remixes on the disc, definitely one for collectors this. Personally the 2 remixes are going to have to be unbelievably good to get me to buy this (just laid out £40 on a pre order of Mogwai’s live 10” vinyl triple box set) but i’m sure they’ll sell plenty.

Hmmm. No doubt I will probably end up buying this and listening to it once or twice - shame they couldn’t get the BBC session on there, at least. In terms of the twentieth anniversary year, it’s pretty quiet so far, isn’t it? Live album in October (excellent!), a few gigs… Do we suspect the band have some other stuff up their sleeves? Any word on the minialbum reissues, for example?

From my inbox via Global Music :

In Therapy’s 20th year of music-making, Global Music are proud to announce a limited edition Digi-pack of the band’s 2009 release, Crooked Timber. This limited ‘Deluxe Gold Edition’ will be available worldwide from July 19th 2010.

The band commented on the making-of-the album: “When the idea of the “Crooked Timber” re-issue was raised we thought it’d be good to tie up the project and collect all the material ‘under one roof’ so to speak.
While we were at it we got a couple of artists we are fans of to remix/mangle a couple of our live favourites and add to the pot. It should be a good opportunity for those who’ve yet to get the album to catch up on what they’ve been missing.”

The ‘Deluxe Gold Edition’ will feature a number of remixed tracks, edited in styles which have influenced Therapy? throughout the years, including Dub-step and samples taken from British Cinema.
The package also includes four bonus tracks.

The album is available NOW for pre-sale:

The band’s first official live album is set be to released later this year as part of their 20th Anniversary celebrations!

Therapy? will also be releasing their second single, ‘Exiles’, available to download from July 7th 2010.

Frontman, Andy Cairns, reveals some of the creative motivation behind the track: “Exiles takes its lyrical inspiration from the famous ‘Earthrise’ photograph taken by astronauts, as well as the movies ‘Dark Star’ and ‘Silent Running’.
The rhythmical drum patterns and deep bass-lines are influenced by dubstep act, ‘Cult of the 13th Hour’, while the chiming guitars echo the sound of a rotating musical jewelry box.”

With influences from early 70’s science fiction classics, ‘Silent Running’, a film which depicts the near-extinction of all human life and the struggle of the few who fight to preserve it; and also John Carpenter’s tongue-in-cheek sci-fi film, ‘Dark Star - the spaced out Odyssey’, take these influences of fantastic imagery, apply it to a pounding track full of atmospherics and you have one amazing audio track…

It’d be nice if the Exiles single could have a few Water Rats songs as b-sides, just a few…

Not going to bother with a download.

Fingers crossed.

I wish putting “everything under one roof” would’ve included the unreleased track(s) they recorded. And I still don’t see why they’ve included a few tracks which are presumably exactly the same as the ones on the album itself… Oh well, this one ain’t for me.

Don’t kid yourselves, it’s the fans who bought it first time around that get fleeced by this kind of thing. I mean, that buy this kind of thing.

Nothing against extra tracks, remixes etc but reissues this soon after a release are a bit insulting, in my opinion. Might as well sign to Roadrunner if you’re into that kind of thing.

Well, at least they have come forward and explained the rational behind this (“Putting everything under one roof”).

I am actually half tempted to get this - would like to check out the sample versions of songs.

With other bands I wouldn’t give a toss, but when it is Therapy? I feel that I am investing my hard earned cash in something good at least.

Couldn’t agree more - I have always purchased everything to support the band but I won’t be on this occasion

Let’s be honest, it’s better than the stained furniture and clogs that most grandparents pass down.

i don’t think the release is as bad as some people make it out to be…sure, i’d want a few extra tracks too (a couple of exclusive songs, in the vein of so much for… would be great), but still i’m glad the band are releasing stuff, and i hope the remixes will be interesting and worth it. I personally am getting this, not overexcited over it, but i’ll be hearing some new t? stuff (ok, not really t? but still…) and be able to support my favourite band.
p.s. really hope exiles will get a physical release too.

it wouldnt suprise me if the b sides to exiles are the remixes off the deluxe edition that havent been released elsewhere yet.

well that would make sense, then again it would make this cd even more of a shameless cash in.

Surely the Shameless cash in would have Tango Romeo (sneaky underpants mix) on it.

Living in the US, not much chance I’ll see the Deluxe Gold anytime soon. Anyone know where I can find the lyrics to “Don’t Try” and “Low Winter Sun”?
