SummersRadio™ New Music! Stephin Merrit! The 6th's - 'Riot In The Sun'/ The Magnetic Fields - 'Take Ecstasy With Me' (Alternate Version)
Stephin Merritt has just released a new collection of largely unreleased material called 'Obscurities' today! 'Obscurities' features 14 rare, out of print, and previously unreleased tracks from Stephin Merritt's solo work (five songs) - as well as from some of his various guises - The 6ths (two), The Gothic Archies (one), Buffalo Roam - which features vocals from Shirley Simms (one) and of course The Magnetic Fields (five songs).
'Obscurities' is fairly evenly split between Merritt's trademark sparse acoustic tunes and his drifty indie synth numbers - this one falling into the latter category. This is the fifth track on 'Obscurities' - from the 6ths - called 'Rot In The Sun' which was first released as the b-side to brilliantly titled 'Heaven In A Black Leather Jacket' single from 1993... Enjoy!
'Take Ecstasy With Me' is a track from The Magnetic Fields album 'Holiday' which was released in 1994. In this alternate version the vocals are sung by longtime contributor Susan Anway instead of Merritt - it first appeared on a compilation in 1999 called 'oh merge' which celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Merge Records label - this is track 12 on 'Obscurities'... Enjoy!
