To all other fans of the Wild Swans,
try to get the double CD `Incandescent´ of their early works. `Revolutionary Spirit´ and `God forbid´ are great and the 2CD is one of the best releases I've come across over the last years.
www.renascent.co.uk
They also offer CD releases of `The Sound´, great stuff!

Plastik,

All you have to do is go to www.yousendit.com, fill in your own email address where it says Recipient Email Address, go down to Select File To Send, hit the Browse button, find the mp3 file on your hard drive, open it, then click the Send It button. That's it! Then it'll take a few minutes for your file to upload. Don't exit out of the page while that's happening. Then, when it's finished, it'll give you a link to the page with the file on it. Click on that link, and when you get to the page, copy and paste the URL from your browser into your post here at the forum. I can't wait to get those tracks...thanks in advance! :D

In the meantime, here's a song from Wild Swan's Paul Simpson. This was available for short time on his official website.

Skyray (Paul Simpson) - Dark Blossoms

Have them, but can't post them now (at work). Will do so late this evening...
BTW, a long version of Bringing home the Ashes appeared on Certified Remixes Sampler together with QLazzarus´ "Goodbye horses" in 1988. Plastik44

Is this what you're looking for? My mp3 is around 5.2 MB.

Bringing Home The Ashes (Extended)
http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1P4B ... 7EMX5MMG4F

Here's the other Swans remix I've found floating around:

Worst Year Of My Life (Extended)
http://s17.yousendit.com/default.uplx

The latter is pretty dodgy quality, so if anyone has a better rip, please post it! :)

Always glad to help. :)

Don't know what happened with the second track...must've pasted the wrong URL. Try this:

Hey, you know me, the Wild Swans are my absolute fave "wusspop" band. [}:)]

Now, when Plastik44 comes through with those b-sides, I'll be one happy Swansophile.
