Sorry we've been quiet for some time - lots has been going on. Firstly, & on a sad note, we are very sorry to tell you that due to circumstances beyond our control, Blue Crumb Truck (the official ASF merchandise store) has had to close down. Liz Howell, who has been running the store had to leave unexpectedly due to family commitments. Although Liz already knows how much we appreciate her efforts and her brilliant customer service, we would like to thank her here for her exceptional work over the years. We would also like to thank every one of you for your orders and support over that time. This decision has been very difficult. We have looked at other options but due to various reasons, it is not possible to continue the store. On a positive note : Amongst all of the turmoil, we have also been working on a very special project - see the news below! (The nice people at Cherry Red Records will continue to stock Alien Sex Fiend releases, such as Classic Albums Box Sets Vol 1 and Vol 2, the forthcoming new Vol 3 (see news below) Fiendology, RIP 12 Inch Collection... All titles should be available via other retailers too.) |

CLASSIC ALBUMS (VOLUME 3)
: The 3rd in the highly popular series of ASF Classic Albums Box
Sets Following an eleven-year, ten studio album run on Anagram / Cherry Red, in 1996 Alien Sex Fiend cut loose, establishing their own 13th Moon Records label. Over the following two decades, the band released a selection of wonderfully intense albums, EPs and remixes, which are gathered together here for the first time, alongside over a dozen unreleased tracks. Compiled and overseen by the inimitable Nik and Mrs Fiend, this latest volume in the classic albums series brings together four studio albums - 'Nocturnal Emissions', 'Information Overload', 'Death Trip' and 'Possessed' - material from the 13th Moon 10th Anniversary sampler album 'Para-Abnormal' plus the digital only 'Re-Possessed' EP, as well as excellent unreleased material exhumed from the band's extensive archive. Paired with their own recollections and Nik Fiend's eye-catching graphics spanning the entire period, 'Classic Albums Volume 3' is a fascinating window into a period in ASF's career which saw them go it alone and create their music without external interference, dealing directly with every step of the process, from recording to art and design to sales and distribution. Common practise in the 21st Century, but unexpected and somewhat revolutionary in the mid-1990s, and a path which took the band on their second trip on the rock 'n roll rollercoaster, taking in encounters with headline festival stages and a whole new generation of producers influenced by their sound and aesthetic. A must for fans and collectors of the band's entire career, and especially for those who may be unfamiliar with these later period recordings. As ever, Nik's lysergic psychotherapy lyrics and Mrs Fiend's thunderous analogue soundscapes combine perfectly time and again, always familiar and yet always different.
Please note : The Blue Crumb Truck store has now closed and you cannot order the new Box Set there. The Classic Albums (Vol 3) Box Set should also be available via other stores as well as Cherry Red Records. |
