The Beloved - Conscience - 1992

I was originally going to post this tomorrow night, but I listened to it tonight during supper, and I really thought it was great.  I had a rough day at work, and felt really tired.  My wife is out of town, so it's just me and the boys, and listening to this album while preparing our meal and then eating it, we all had a great time.  It's happy, fun, carefree and well made.  The Beloved have never let us down.  This is them at their best.

Not much to say today, been busy.  Have a great night!

Beloved Singles from 1992's Conscience....

The Beloved's 1992 album Conscience has MANY different singles with MANY different mixes, and a b-side called Motivation.  I have almost a hundred different mixes of all the songs and mixes, but I am having a couple problems...

-  Can anyone give me a complete rundown of all of the mixes from all of the singles?  I sincerely cannot tell if I have them all.  I may be missing some, I may have some that have different titles but are the same mix, I'm at a loss.

-  Does anyone have the Energetic Mix of Motivation?  Is there an original version of Motivation (un-remixed) out there?

Due to the number of mixes, I'm planning on doing a singles set, like I did for the Shamen singles, each with a different cover.  It's going to be a great, and very comprehensive set!

Any clues and information you can give me will be greatly appreciated (and will benefit all of us on February 2nd....  wink wink)

Beloved - Happiness - 1990

 So, yeah, this was a great album when it came out.  Very fun, and a nice addition to my growing Madchester collection.  It got some radio air time and people knew who they were, and they were pretty cool....

Grunge.

AND all these great groups from England and Europe and nearly everywhere got left behind for good ol' Kurt Cobain.  Brrruup!  I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

Yes, yes yes, the Beloved were able to release, what, two more albums, I think (Both of which were great)  But no one knew about them or cared too much on this side of the ocean.  What a sad sad thing.

What's great about this album was all the remixes.  You had Blissed Out (below) and a couple dozen more great mixes.  So, I've made what essentially is three discs for the same album and most of the mixes.  Mind you, not all of the mixes are on these three, but most are.  I culled the worst just to slim it down a bit.

The covers were fairly simple to make, but the font was impossible to match.  I hope they look alright.  It pisses me off when I can't find the right font (especially since I have about 7,000 now).  A font can say so very much.

Looking back, I want to try and pick out the best tracks for you (even though I know it's subjective), but it's hard to pin down just a few.  Time After Time, Found, Hello, Your Love Takes Me Higher, The Sun Rising...  Where should I stop?

Just keep listening, and you decide which ones are the best....

Beloved - Happy Blissfulness - 1990

That last one, Happy Blissfulness, doesn't actually exist.  I made it up.
