Nvm, found it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ysam7396tpn-C6QrKkH2QXR2zdckcACY/view

Thanks Big Y, listening now And yeah sounds all nEw!

VHS Head starts around 2:07:30.  There's a p funny skit before it too!

There are some sounds in the mix that to me sounded familiar, like the source of a sound here and there from known tunes. It was cool. The whole day was. First Amks live I was able to actually catch live in ages. Such a great way to spend the day. :::grateful:::

Some really good bits in there, not that I dislike any of it. Love some of the revisitations of older tracks.

Thanks, Ade.

Somewhere he wrote "Time for a fourth album" - but there's only 2 yet, can someone explain? VHSH caught my interest.

he's had the third completed for quite a while, it's just been held up in production for quite some time because SKAM is SKAM, and so i'd assume he was talking about starting to work on the next one.

Hopefully also maybe some EPs of those earlier tracks shown off in the AMKS Halloween stream

Great compilation of rare stuff, to tide us over whilst we wait for the new stuff

skam is skam.... what does that mean... andy is just like... hmm let me take another 3 years

Ninja Tune should sign VHS head and release his album in 3 months

I would just like to be able to support the artist that is VHS Head.

he should just make a vhshead.bandcamp.com and cut out the skam middlefolk

@oscillik Can you remember one of his rarer pieces that had a sample from 'The Burning Bed' (1984)?

I'm not too massively great at recognising samples like this! I have heard my fair share of rare VHS Head stuff though, so I probably have heard the track you're referring to

I'll take what I can get at this point.

Ade pls.

In case anyone missed this, new track called "Shoes For Dinosaurs" from the Phocus album debuted on this SKAM radio special. Maybe we'll see the new album before the end of 2022?

Starts around 52 minutes or so...

Please, MDX, I want to throw money at VHS Head releases. It cannot be that difficult to do a digital release with a forthcoming physical as an "eventually" pre-order if that's the desired release style.

Let me buy the man's damn music.

In the meantime, I'll spot samples...

In the meantime, I'm only capable to throw air money at him. But lots of. 

I wonder if it'll ever release, I'm kinda doubtful tbh. Skam really comes across as a dead label.

i'm assuming they've had vinyl production and/or money issues since COVID...who knows what a label/people are going through tho. feels a little crass to speculate. 

weird that they've been surprisingly active with the AMKS live stuff while not putting out any releases...but they've been on a one-a-year schedule for quite a while before that too. probably just keeping it going as a side/legacy thing at this point. the AMKS stuff has been great tho! they should probably just offer a paypal link when they do those or something.

the worship of vinyl by the consumers is the real problem. but what can ya do
