Skacel Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Stumbled across this on banquet. Reissues by MOV: https://www.banquetrecords.com/search?q=Idlewild http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/idlewild/hope-is-important Hope is important is Idlewild's debut album recorded in 1998, the first full length release filled with distortion, Roddy Woomble's screeching vocals and utter chaos. This transitional album marks the beginnings of boys becoming men. A raw emo-punk album full of energy, laying out the path this band is going to go on in the future. http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/idlewild/100-broken-windows 100 broken Windows is raw, rough edged punk yet traditional in lyrics with tight raging tracks. These 4 Scots neglected everything that was happening in the music business at the time and went down their own path, producing intense rock songs about growing up in the working class inspired by the greats from late 80s and early 90s such as Nirvana and REM, Sonic Youth and The Pixies. This album definitely deserves a prominent place in any discerning music-lover's collection. Also, they are doing two gigs in Glasgow for the 15th anniversary of The Remote Part (no word of vinyl reissue though) Edited October 19, 2017 by Skacel whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Have OG presses of both of these but hopefully this leads to a vinyl pressing of Warnings/Promises. Hell, maybe even Captain thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, maybe even Captain I've had my eye on the OG pressings for a while but I'll just pick up the MOV reissues. Captain would be sweet and I would definitely pick up The Remote Part if it was reissued and Warnings/Promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Actually, Captain should/could be expanded to a full-length album by adding Queen of the Troubled Teens, Faster, the original version of Self Healer, Chandelier, I Want To Be a Writer, and House Alone.

dawhizz Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Great find. I've been debating laying down some cash for 100 Broken Windows for awhile and came real close recently, so this is a welcome sight. whoa and OneThreeOneTwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My mind is blown. 17 years after the fact, I realize 100 Broken Windows is actually a sophomore effort! Anyways, I'll buy that lp reissue without hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Got OG 100 windows but im all over that Hope Is Important. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Ives Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 100 Broken Windows was the first album I got absolutely absorbed in while learning to play guitar. I owe it a lot, and I don't think they bettered it. thesewoodenideas and OneThreeOneTwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aopps42 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Really hope this means a repress of some of their others, specifically The Remote Part Skacel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCeCe Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I thought that I'd bought the 100 Broken Windows reissue & prompted by this news went to pull it out, but now can't find it and doubting if i did buy it! Loved Captain when it came out. Skacel and thesewoodenideas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro-man Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Almost missed the Captain repress. That album was the soundtrack to my GCSE revision and subsequent summer - brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold out a lot quicker than I expected. It's not part of the Idlewild era (100 Broken Windows to Make Another World) that I care for, so didn't get a copy myself.

Well that sucks, trying to support my local store more these days so was holding off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
