I got an email from Forest Wise in September, the director of "I am the Elephant, you are the Mouse" and he is in talks with Neil about finally gving this soundtrack an official release on Neil's label (Ed: I didn't know Neil had a label). The rumors of Forest selling the master tapes on eBay are false.

It will be released on October 25th on Sanctuary records. Sadly it contains no unreleased material. DISC 1: Slowdive Avalyn 1 Morningrise She Calls Catch The Breeze Shine Golden Hair (Peel Session) Spanish Air Waves Alison So Tired Sing Souvlaki Space Station DISC 2: Machine Gun Here She Comes When The Sun Hits In Mind Good Day Sunshine Missing You Rutti Crazy For You Trellisaze Blue Skied And Clear 19 May.04 'Catch the breeze' compilation According to a post by Rachel Goswell on Mojave 3's messageboard. Slowdive are unaware of this compilation but she also says that they're getting the rights back to their stuff this year, so I suspect we will see reissues. Let's hope that they release unreleased material and maybe a live CD and DVD. I also read on the same forum that Castle Records still hopes to release the compilation, but it is on hold at the moment subject to discussions with Sony. 13 May.04 Rachel Goswell's Debut Solo material Rachel Goswell will release her debut solo single 'The Sleep Shelter', May 17th, on 4AD records Three of the tracks on the EP are exclusive to this release.

UPDATE: It will be released on May 24th on Castle Music(?) 19 Jan.04 Slowdive albums to be reissued? According to recent interview with Neil Halstead. Slowdive material may be reissued this year with lots of unreleased material: "Next year we are going to look at maybe seeing if we can get some of the albums reissued and maybe getting some unreleased stuff together. It seems like all the unreleased stuff is available on the web anyway. You think that you are the only person who has a copy of it and there it is available on the web." Read the full interview with Neil Halstead here (ED: A slowdive boxset, live cd and dvd would nice too! A copy of 'Slowdive' recently sold on ebay for £55 or $99, and Pygmalion goes for big money too, so let's hope this stuff gets reissued) 19 Jan.04 Slowdive tribute album In 2002 Morr Music records in Germany released a Slowdive tribute album called 'Blue Skied an' Clear'.
