When we heard 'Sunken Ships' on Electric Brain Storms 6, it appeared to just be an updated version of 'Viewed From The Right' (from Electric Brain Storms 4). It turns out it's the spooky, haunting, reverb-drenched strings and synths piece before that, around 55 minutes. Another sample can now be heard on the band's MySpace. It is another confirmed track from Environments 3. Heart Sick, now titled Heart Sick Chord - a harpsichord pun maybe? - has also been confirmed for the album, and can be heard on the site. All this suggests the album really can't be far away now!

21/04/10 - Monstrous Psychedelic Remix Album
Gaz has generously revealed plans for a forthcoming compilation of Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble remixes while discussing the eBay matter rather angrily reported by my - now less worked up - self a couple of nights ago.
"plus we will be releasing our MPB remixes all together as an album at some stage TOO . . . .its gonna be cover versions and remixes"
Let's not hold out for an imminent release but it's one to look forward to.

20/04/10 - that Record Store Day 12" and the state of the world
Those of you lucky enough to have picked yourself up one of the 500 copies of the Amorphous Androgynous/Paul Weller remix 12" at your local indie on Record Store Day in the UK this Saturday gone, well done! Hopefully it's enjoyable. The album is out worldwide this week and hopefully reports about the remix will be coming in soon.
I almost don't want to advertise the fact here, but several copies have already turned up on eBay at extortionate prices. Typically, alas, the small but terrible number of selfish cunts that live among us chose Record Store Day - an event to promote the act of going to your local record shop to pay a decent price for an interesting record - as a chance to make a considerable profit with their easily picked up rarities. There's currently a copy going for a ridiculous £150. Sadly, I'm sure, somebody is going to pay that, but I'm actively encouraging people to avoid the auctions and stop these fuckers making a lot of money from genuine music fans, and stopping the FSOL and Paul Weller fans out there showing their support to the artists and the stores willing to keep the independent record industry alive through their generous releases. A nice treat for fans and record shops at a reasonable price has now become an immediate collectable at the hands of the worst kind of money minded cunts.
TL;DR? Do not pay dickheads ridiculous amounts of money for this 12", they do not deserve it. Please.

13/04/10 - More Environments 3 information!
The Oldest Lady has turned up in YouTube in a slightly remixed form and is due for release soon on the imminent Environments 3. The CD looks to be an epic with a rumoured 18 tracks. And very slightly updated cover. The album will feature 'old new enhanced' music - similar to Environments 2, with a number of confirmed new tracks involved.Out in the next few weeks!
13/04/10 - Environments 3 material on YouTube
Our hundredth post in the news blog is rather an exciting thing - the first confirmed material from Environments 3 has been posted on YouTube.
Out Of Sync Child can be found on the STAKKERHUMANOID channel (or by clicking that there link). A slow breakbeat and some atmospheric synths have this track fitting in, stylically, with the more abstract, moody nature of Polemical, Heads Of Agreement and Yage's The Woodlands Of Old, suggesting the track is very much new and that Environments 3 could contain a significant amount of newly recorded music.
1.21 of the track is available, it's unknown if this is the full track or just a sample.
Let the good times begin?

06/01/10 - Paul Weller Remix out on April 12th
In typically last minute fashion, we've just found out about the Paul Weller remix that's been spoken about of late.
"The Amorphous Androgynous have just completed a new remix for the deluxe edition of Paul Weller’s new album “Wake Up The Nation”. The 4 part, 20 minute mix encapsulates 2 tracks from his new album “Aim High” and “Pieces Of A Dream”. The album is released on 12th April."
See here for some official looking stuff that features this section:
Aim High / Pieces Of A Dream – The Amorphous Androgynous Remix
9. Part 1: Aim High (Aim Higher)
10. Part 2: Pieces Of A Dream (A Dream In Pieces)
11. Part 3: Aim High (The Higher Aim)
12. Part 4: Aim High (Like Water Needs A Flower)
Either Mr. Weller or his record label (or both...) are scared of a 20 minute track so it's been split up, alas. Still, new material of sorts almost on our doorstep! Splendid.
