We’re thrilled to announce that for the very first time, our 1993 full-length album “All Souls Alive” is coming out on vinyl.
Thanks to the good people at Eminent Vinyl / Magnetic South, the album has been remastered from the original tapes and refurbished, with a 4-page booklet that features the evocative photographs of Bleddyn Butcher and extensive liner notes by Pat Monaghan. The record has never looked or sounded better.
This is the album with the ‘lightning in a bottle’ line-up - Rob Snarski and Phil Kakulas with David McComb and ‘Evil’ Graham Lee from The Triffids and Jim White and Warren Ellis from The Dirty Three. It lasted maybe two years, tops and then...gone. This is what was left behind.
It has some great songs on there.
SIDE ONE:
A CURSE ON YOU
WE COULD'VE BEEN SOMEONE
EVERY GENTLE SOUL
MEMORIES
SHEETS OF RAIN
SIDE TWO:
REVEAL YOURSELF
I CAN SEE NOW
APARTMENT No. 9
DIRTY WATER
THIS ONE EATS SOULS
So it’s limited edition of course, with an even more limited edition in red vinyl (try the Magnetic South link below as Bandcamp looks to have sold out very, very quickly). Pre-sales are available with the album due to be officially released on 9/10/2026.
For those who live in Melbourne, you can also choose a pick-up option. Magnetic South is located in East Brunswick (save on postage).
Also, Forced Exposure in the US will have copies next month.
We also highly recommend you support your local independent music store and grab a copy there if ordering online isn’t your thing.
Thanks to all.
Until we meet again
Susie X
ps. Here’s the video for “A Curse On You” from back in the day.
