Scars is out!




Get out your wallets, because Scars, the new album from Basement Jaxx, is released today in the US! You can grab it on CD or vinyl, or you can grab it on mp3 from several online stores, a few of which are offering various bonus tracks. From iTunes USA, you can get two outstanding b-sides, "One More Chance" and "Wheel N Stop", as well as the Paul Thomas and Funkagenda remix of "Raindrops." In the UK iTunes store, you only get "One More Chance." From the Amazon (UK) mp3 store, you get the Rusko remix of "Feelings Gone." From the Amazon (US) mp3 store, you get the Joachim Garraud remix of "Feelings Gone" and the Under New Management remix of "Raindrops." And Play.com has an unspecified remix of "Raindrops." Whew.
So, I personally recommend buying the CD and then scooping up the bonus tracks here and there.

Also today, the single for "Feelings Gone" is released in several countries (except the US, thanks guys!), again in various physical formats as well as digitally. However, over at Boomkat, there are 3 remixes that don't seem to be for sale at any other shop. Of course, there are territorial restrictions in effect, so if you're in the US and you have to have them, you'll just have to steal them off P2P networks instead of paying to support the Jaxx. It's too bad the labels make it difficult to support artists, but there it is. Anyway, rejoice! New Jaxx!
