Len,I like this, but was wondering why some of the songs seem familiar. I thought this band sounds somewhat like the Thrills or the Strokes at times, so I read the Amazon blurb and found out one of the members is the Strokes drummer. No longer I like this album. Good choice. Paul

If it wasn't for mistakes, the lot of the compulsive record collector would be a lot less interesting, and in 2002, the Future Sound of London made a whopper. Promo copies of their album The Isness (originally released under their side-project name Amorphous Androgynous) were sent out prior to release. Reviews were printed. Review copies ended up in used record stores and on P2P sites. And then FSOL co-leader Garry Cobain had a change of heart, declaring that the album had too much "masculine energy," and completely remixed and restructured the whole album before it was properly released. Normally, that would be that, except that somehow the band's American label was given masters of the original pre-release version of the album, and the entire first U.S. pressing of The Isness consisted of the wrong version of the album, a problem that was quickly rectified. In 2004, under a combination of both of the band names, the Future Sound of London released a two-disc set called The Isness & the Otherness, but contrary to expectation, it's not simply both versions of the album brought together; instead, The Otherness collects most but not all of the scotched version of The Isness (a minor interlude called "Yes My Brother" is gone entirely, and "The Galaxial Pharmaceutical" is edited), several previously unreleased tracks recorded during the same sessions, a song from the original U.K. vinyl version of the album, and a handful of remixes from associated singles and EPs. The original tracks from the first version of the album increase the '60s-vintage druggy psychedelic haze that permeates all of these sessions, while the single remixes are more traditionally electronic in the tradition of FSOL's earlier records...
In Moroccan legend, Aisha Kandisha is a beautiful enchantress and voracious jinniya (she-devil) with the power to bewitch both women and men. Helpless against her wicked charms, her victims are driven beyond the brink of madness to a state of frenzied derangement. Some become paralyzed, their blood turned to ice, while others are left insane forever. The only way to lift the curse is through elaborate trance ceremonies which include heated rhythms, frenzied dancing, and occaisonal self-flagellation. These ancient rituals are the inspiration for underground Moroccan trance band Aisha Kandisha's Jarring Effects' album SHABEESATION. ...
Don't worry, I have a number of duplicates - on CD no less. Originals, remasters, special editions, oh my!I have a good portion of my Todd Rundgren collection in triplicate. I keep telling myself to stop, but, you know.....
