So who else is really feeling these guys lately? "I Feel Space" seems to only be the tip of the iceberg, like Primal Scream's "Loaded", pre-Screamadelica. Between the new album on Eskimo, the "Tribulations" remix and the new Six Cups of Rebel (Lindstrom), dudes are killin it. i'm listening to Six Cups now and the willingness to just let it go plus the production, the instrumentation are so freeing to me. The album sounds like a disco-fied Neu! at times and this whole krautrock vibe is a direction i would love to see this going in. I find myself more than willing to go where they're taking me. Further blowing me away is the PT remix of Mental Overdrive's "Diskodans" on Smalltown Supersound (which needs to be released on vinyl right now, god damn it) - mindblowing 9 minute uptempo mix, just filthy with effects - and Lindstrom's "Plague the Kid II" on Bear Entertainment.
Now I've heard Lindstrom's previous work under the Slow Supreme moniker, and i've enjoyed and even spun out a couple of his tracks. but this, this is different.
who's wit me?!

if the tribulations remix link is still active in the most recent YSI thread, go download it immediately. the bit in the middle where the distorted vocal starts stuttering and then the beat drops underneath is fucking devastating.
i hope there are plans to repress bits and pieces like 'alien in my pocket' because i NEED them. i'm in full lindstrom obsession mode at this point!

I'm not really in the loop with this genre. What would you call it? Trip-house? It's crazy. What else would one check out if they really like this?
For frame of reference, I've also really enjoyed the Isolee record and the Vitalic. I checked all three of these out based on ILM threads.

maurice fulton - yes, but not MU, you should start w/ "life is water for gerbadaisies..." (recorded as "maurice fulton presents boof") and the album recorded as "maurice fulton presents stress"). also maurice's remixes.
possibly the earlier faze action ... anything before moving cities, really. also look for ray mang's work.
some of the artists on bunker and creme. a lot of it is lo-fi techno, so you sort of have to pick and choose but there's quite a bit of loose-limbed italo funk in there.

SORRY BAD RECOMMENDATIONS
(ok they are recommendations for GOOD music but not really in the same vein as lindstrom)

lindstrom tends to have two sides to his sound - the tripped out space disco and the noodly muso side. the 'i feel space' 12' demonstrates this to a t (which incidentally he recorded four years ago).
he has a forthcoming 12' coming called 'serious syntoms' which is the rawest thing he's ever done. endlessly repeating, slighty modulating moog bassline, live snare and hi hat and a bit of arp synth. sounds like it was recorded live in one take. mega.
i spent a very drunken night out with prins thomas recently and i get the impressiont that what we have heard so far is only the tip of the iceberg. mad, as they both have families and other jobs to keep them busy too.

yknow, my experience of lindstrom & prins thomas has had pretty much the opposite trajectory to biz's. fell head over heels to "i feel space" on first listen, got their lp, dug out old radiophonic workshop comp, put on lava lamp and space goggles. came over all warm as the cosmic vibes reach my very core. before i know what's hit me, the warmth has DRAINED as i realise that OH SHIT IT'S NOT 1974, IT'S THE LATE NINETIES AND I'M BACK IN LOVE WITH BLUE STATES AND K&D AND FILA FUCKING BRAZILIA.
the album gets an occasional listen, and the juan atkins remix sure is pretty. the goggles are now buried in a landfill site somewhere in south manchester.

that's funny i was totally going to post the same thing today - i had a similar epiphany yesterday while i was listening to an akwaaba album in my car. i think fila brazillia is a closer match than k&d or blue states. but there really wasn't anything wrong with fila brazillia for the first few albums, was there? it wasn't until they really started to stray into aimless jazz and folk-rock that it got tiring, right? as long as they stuck w/ the 4/4 i could (and still can) really get into FB ... so i'm hoping lindstrom reasserts the danciness, soon. maybe on an upcoming solo album?
or maybe i need to shell out for the major swellings album ...

a nice torrent has popped up on oink that's a collection of their remixes (some lindstrom solo) and it's freaking fantastic, for the most part. it's got the forthcoming Tosca remix on it as well as a Lindstrom remix of Fuzz Against Junk's "Country Clonk", a record that came out on Bearfunk last year. the comp is worth downloading for this track alone. fucking sublime.
been corresponding with Mr Lindstrom lately and he says that Feedelity #0 and #1 are getting repressed in the near future, so watch for them. also the E2-E4 thing is on an italian label whose name escapes me and it due out in a couple months or so. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.
strangely, the distributor which had originally solicited for the L&PT full-length called today to say that Eskimo had pulled out of the deal and they won't be carrying it now. anyone know what's up with that?
i just spend the last three days trawling online record shops for rarities and have pretty much come up empty. i need suggestions!

oh, another thing i forgot. did some extensive google sleuthing and noticed there's a couple Japanese-only tings from our boys. two of them are on Outergaze records, one of which - Lindstrom's "Violent Group" - just came out in the western world this week. He's also apparently got a full-length called "Another Side Of", which the single is taken from. plus there's a remix of Port of Notes on the Crue-L label which i think juno is carrying. but that's way too expensive for little stateside me.
caning the country clonk remix at the moment. how did i miss this?

that single is ETERNAL and PERFECT like the first NEU album or like "in the light of the miracle". we'll see if people remember lindstrom a year from now.
also, while you are at it, dig out yellow sox "flim flam", another space disco track from ten years ago that ruins all nu-nu-space-disco pretenders.

yes but there are DEFINITE connections ... FOR EXAMPLE "country clonk" was on nuphonic ... and featured on the same "nuphonic 01" compilation as "in the trees" and "flim flam" ... also "country clonk" is essentially a cover of dinosaur's "kiss me again" ... hmmm ...

Vahid I have and love both the first two Faze Action albums (although I think I prefer "Moving Cities" to "In The Trees", in fact "Moving Cities" is prob my favourite arty revivalist disco track ever ever ever) but I don't hear so much of an overlap b/w them and L&PT that it would somehow undermine the hype surrounding the latter. It would be like dismissing Basement Jaxx on the basis that Armand Van Helden had already been around and doing his thing.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 6 January 2006 12:07 (eighteen years ago) link
Whereas with L&PT it's definitely the swirl and swelter effect I like, the way the different melodic motifs seems to emerge out of one another as if they're dissolving and precipitating while you listen.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 6 January 2006 13:10 (eighteen years ago) link
(and Plans & Designs is better than Moving Cities despite the brilliance of the latter's title track)

this time last year, lindstrom was pretty much unknown. i think all the 'hype' has come from a grass roots level caused by more and more people hearing his music. the fact that l&t are so prolific has certainly aided this but neither feedelity nor eskimo have really pushed the releases at all. there has been hardly any advertising, editorial or interviews, at least as far as i've seen. i think they just arrived to fill a gap at the exact right time. much as i love the idjuts, i feel they had been coasting for eons.
― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link
Obv. if you're opposed to micro/electro/etc. house then the notion of all these Tiefschwarz etc. fans suddenly getting into Lindstrom will prob. be offensive, but the fact remains that stuff like "I Feel Space" fulfills a very specific and effective function in the context of a harder electro-ish mix.

yes yes, that's me alright (although i've changed my handle...)the record in question would have been the supremely fantastic Six Cups of Rebel 12" on Feedelity. Susan - did you like it? I tried turning a good friend on to this recently but he returned it with the complaint that it was "too balearic". ;) I can't get enough of it. enjoyed best with herbalisms after dark.
also susan, if you bought the album i would DEFINITELY recommend the single (with the wood-carved owl on the cover), which is a more uptempo, extended version of 'turkish delight'. it's exactly what l&pt do so perfectly.
i also just got email from eskimo that they've done a US distro deal with forced exposure so expect CDs of the L&PT album to be in the shop shortly. great news, i think.
dominique, i hear what you're saying, but i think there's less of a direct comparison to LCDS than trends in rock/indie/live music to be influenced by disco and krautrock. i think there's more techno in LCDS, more balearic in L&PT, more italo in Putsch 79. definite overlap though...
― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 9 January 2006 20:17 (eighteen years ago) link
Try this: play the L&PT remix of Juan Maclean's "Tito's Way" and proceed with Roxy Music's "India" (from Avalon). It has the same feel/atmosphere, imo. Knowing Avalon by heart (my parents used to play it a lot), a lot of L&PT's music/remixes hit the same spots as Avalon did/still does.

I find Justus Kohncke in disco mode to be closer to these guys than Metro Area, perhaps because both Kohncke and L&PT are more obviously disco-as-in-house (live-sounding but still heavy four-to-the-floor beats - hence the DFA resemblance), whereas Metro Area are like disco-as-in-not-house. And Kohncke gets that slightly swirly smudgy quality as well (see esp. "Krieg") which is the one point where the Faze Action comparison falls short for me.

Eskimo, from what i understood, has just finalized a US distribution deal with Forced Exposure -- although the fruits aren't yet available to the public. i do NOT think this applies to vinyl though. I've still got Turkish Delight in stock on 12" here at Amoeba SF, and i've just re-ordered the L&PT full length on vinyl. haven't heard anything about CDs yet, nor have I been offered the new single from any of my distros yet. will keep yas posted.

we are talking about simplifying outlines, building new forms out of old that are ever more pared-down, stripped back, and functional, opening up vast spaces (remember, in ancient art emptiness and blankness - the bottomless bass chasms between bongos and handclaps in dub-disco, the vacuous krautrock grooves of lindstrom + gang - signified the presence of the divine and the sublime) while retaining constructions that are upright and supportive. like a vase, or a column.

Re the pop thing, I'd probably rather listen to the neptunes or sugababes or hard-fi, or something that's unashamedly pop 40 than some sub-recreation of 80s pop by Richard X or whatever. In the case of the neptunes it's probably more new sounding than an lot of dance music these days.Electro seemed a breath of fresh air after domination by funky house, but now it's just another boring mainstream sound.
― shiny star, Monday, 27 February 2006 07:10 (eighteen years ago) link
this makes no sense. richard x produced a lot of the sugababes' stuff, incl. their biggest pop hits!
― geeta (geeta), Monday, 27 February 2006 07:14 (eighteen years ago) link
as far as neptunes/sugababes go, maybe you do "get" pop. i'm not sure anybody (even ivan smagghe) would argue that what they're doing is as "new" or "exciting" as the human league - if you had lived through it. don't get caught in the trap a historicism. it'd have been just as easy for frank zappa to lampoon the ramones or new york dolls or whatever in the 1970s by recording "ruben + the jets" ("redundant piano triplets"!!!) (he lived through it, too, after all, cruising el cajon in a bread truck blasting bubblegum) and it would be just as wrong.
as far as stripping back / minimalism / tradition go ... not sure how you are going to defend relief here ... whatever cajmere wants to say about it (mr "i've heard a million acid tracks and frankly it's boring now") i'm not sure how you could characterize relief outside of sticking to tradition, functionalised

As far as L&PT go: how many people on dancefloors have actually heard (heard of, even) the "space disco" it rips off? I don't think I have! And as I said upthread I think it's pretty different to Faze Action or Nuphonic, a lot of which I also like.
Also... I love Villalobos but I'm now getting really really sick of him being namechecked as the "token" innovator in current electronic music, he is quickly becoming the German Kanye West or even Outkast in this regard.

-- Tim Finney (tfinne...), Today.
i half agree with you, tim. villalobos may be on his way to token innovator status like kanye & outkast but i don't think that they have ever really taken solid ground and tilted it at a 45 degree angle with their music the way that he has.

I do think the new hyper-maximal minimal stuff is the most interesting stuff around now, but ok I'm being too purist and theoretical about cosmic disco.

Anyway, turns out they're some sort of "future jazz" group - which seems to mean bizarro sampladelic percussive jazzy meanderings which sound great but not what I was expecting.
What i was expecting though was matched and exceeded in the "Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix" - not sure what this track is, I think it might be a remix of LSB's "Original Highway Delight", the original of which I haven't heard, but was out recently on 12" on Eskimo.
But just play it, it's this astonishingly huge psychedelic italo-disco track, with bona fide ridiculous high-pitched vocals lurking somewhere towards the end. I can't stop listening to it! Who the fuck are these guys?

"On the other side, Mungolian Jet Set’s “Exit To The Ja-Ja” mix is quite a curious piece of schaffel which morphs into psychedelic disco halfway through its eight minute journey, then goes a little Happy Mondays at the end; interesting."
So yes, they have done more than two remixes of mind-expanding disco.

the original lindstrom mix of 'the contemporary fix' has just been promoed too and is a 303 disco monster. kind of like hardfloor's 'acperience' if it had been written with the paradise garage in mind.
there's a whole host of new full pupp 12"s about to come out too - all great.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link
people went crazy when they played their pizzy yelliot tune as well as their remix of the kreeps... lovely just lovely.
it must be warm to perform in their mungolian outfits tho...
they have to live setups. one is more electronic (with mainly just paal nyhus aka strangefruit and knut saevik)and the other one is more jazz with a full band. the mungolian jet set album on the norwegian label jazzland has been postponed for some years, but will finally be released this fall (hopefully). this will be accompanied by the technon thai/navigator 12".
their remix of original highway delight by l.s.b. (pete herberts project) will be out in a couple of months on eskimo recordings.
a forthcoming remix will be of richard wagner (!!!!)

Although stirmonster's description is spot on, I was surprised to find myself thinking "yep, definitely Lindstrom!" when I first heard it - there's something so immediately identifiable about his sonic signature now. But it is quite distinct, absolute massive and ridiculously spacey and a bit cold (all the better for galactic travel my dear), like he finally decided to do a sequel to "I Feel Space". Luvvit.

lindstrom - it's a feedelity affair (STS126CD/CD)1. fast & delirious2. limitations3. music (in my mind)4. cane it for the original whities5. there's a drink in my bedroom and i need a hot lady6. further into the future7. i feel space8. arp she said9. gentle as a giant10. another station11. the contemporary fix
(from smalltown supersound :)It is with great pleasure that Smalltown Supersound can announce that the label will release Lindstrom`s debut album "It's a Feedelity Affair" in collaboration with Lindstrom himself and his Feedelity label. The album will be released the 23th. of October 2006 and includes among others his hits "Another Station" and "I Feel Space". The liner notes are written by NYC producer Daniel Wang.
Both Smalltown Supersound and Lindstrom/Feedelity are from Norway and a mutual trust, respect and understanding led to this collaboration. Lindstrom has obviously got many offers from records labels around the world, but he chose to stay independent and have control of his own music. Smalltown Supersound on the other hand found a soulmate in Lindstrom and the perfect sound for the label in Lindstroms`s music. Lindstrom fitted perfectly with the labels electro/electronica/pop roster with artists such as Bjorn Torske, Tussle, 120 Days, Kim Hiorthoy, Toy, Lars Horntveth, Jaga Jazzist and Mental Overdrive, the core of the label being Norwegian electronic music.
Lindstrom`s career took off after a string of critically acclaimed 12" singles that alone started a movement the press later would call "space disco". He is also well known for his remixes and has among others remixed LCD Soundsystem, Roxy Music, Franz Ferdinand, Annie and DFA`s Juan McLean. Last year Lindstrom also released a duo album with Norwegian DJ and friend Prins Thomas, titled "Lindstrom and Prins Thomas", an album that was released on Eskimo Records to wide critical acclaim. His most famous track and 12" , "I Feel Space" (released on both Playhouse and Feedelity), has now sold 17 000 copies, an impressive number these days for a vinyl only release. But now its finally time to compile all of Lindstrom`s seminal 12" on CD and download for the first time. The album also includes The Contemporary Fix, a new track from the 12" vinyl-single which has already been supported by Pete Tong and Annie Mac on BBC radio. Early in 2007 we will also release a single/EP from the album with a remix by EYE of the Boredoms.
Available on CD on the 23rd of october 2006 on feedelity / smalltown supersoundFor more info: www.smalltownsupersound.com / info@smalltownsupersound.com

i don't recall what i said about eskimo falling off, but i think it was stemming from being unhappy with 1) lotterboys album 2) radioslave's "creature of the night" and 3) the slowed-to-a-crawl release schedule. and i'm not too crazy about the glimmers remixes or dj mixes, which IS a big change from several years ago.
i agree they've put out a half-dozen nice (not mindblowing) italo singles ... but over the course of two years it's sorta underwhelming!
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 4 June 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah the Lotterboys album is weak i'll agree.
― Tim F, Monday, 4 June 2007 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I've been waiting for Sunkissed to land ever since I saw it on discogs, but no luck so far. Hope it won't be a letdown like Prima Norsk strangely was for me.
The Visti single is one of my favorites of the year (although it came out Dec 06 I think), esp the A side version.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 4 June 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link
i think i saw a used promo copy at amoeba but i passed on it for some reason??
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 4 June 2007 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link
now i feel dumm. maybe it was from feeling underwhelmed by "prima norsk 3" and wanting to save up for "this is rong music" and "klubb kebbab"
i love the studio album and the lindstrom late night tales and the prins thomas cosmic galactic mix thing and so i am bandwagon-hopping here.not feeling the map of africa album though.

The 18 minute Prins Thomas mix is pretty good, although it seems more like two separate mixes sliding into each other.

thanks guys! (ps Tim F, I love Mungolian too, in fact Pal from MJS & HPL are teaming up on a project for a future remix)
― Dominique, Monday, 4 June 2007 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Lex I'm surprised you like the Studio album - even though many days it's my favourite album of the year. I thought the intermittent indie vocals would put you off.
Dominique, how did the the use of your track come about? I'm imagining Lindstrom flying you to a sauna in a backwoods somewhere. "All of the artists I use for my mixes, they can withstand extremes of heat and cold."
― Tim F, Monday, 4 June 2007 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link
haha I wish! I'm working w/him and smalltown supersound on my CD release (hopefully oct). this track won't be on it, but he liked it, so wanted to use it for latenighttales.
― Dominique, Monday, 4 June 2007 22:43 (sixteen years ago) link
So will there be a Solale album a la Kathy Diamond? I like "Let It Happen" even more than "Let's Practice".
― Tim F, Thursday, 7 June 2007 13:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Still adoring that Mungolian Jetset vs Mari Boine thingy.
These guys are one of the few current examples I can think of where the artist/group/band has a genuinely exciting aesthetic unfolding with everything they do.
Listen to the remixes of "A Blast of Loser", "Original Highway Delight", "Milano Model" and "It's Not Necessarily Evil" in that order and it's just like, "WTF are they gonna do next?"
I also love how, no matter how far-out they get, they're so incontravertibly pop.
― Tim F, Thursday, 7 June 2007 13:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Of course they're pretty fucking weird...
― Tim F, Thursday, 7 June 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Tim F - have you heard their record from last year? Nothing like the remixes, almost kind of a dubby jazz ambient thing; pretty cool, but totally not pop.

The Lindstrom Late Night Tales is excellent- pretty much everything you could want from a "chillout" type comp, and the Vangelis cover alone is worth every penny. And the track is great, but damn, that Dominique Leone chick has one deep voice.

forthcoming Feedelity stuff:
in addition to a killer 12" of Breakfast In Heaven remixes, by Diskjokke and Arp (aka Alexis formerly of Tussle), the Dominique Leone EP 12" is also out soon, with a 12 minute mix kicking off the record by the 16th Rebels of Mung. Who dat? Mungolian Jet Set?
just got both of these in the post and am seriously feeling all of it. the Arp remix stands out on the first 12", hypnotic synth loops imitating "that" riff, echoing and overlapping into infinity with a tight, punchy kick underneath it all.
Leone's EP is great too - probably the most interesting thing Feedelity have released and easily the most outside-the-box. "Conversational" is included here and the main dancefloor track is the A1 - Clairevoyage, the extremely dope aformentioned 12-minute remix. "Duyen" reminds me of Skylarking-era XTC quite a bit, especially in the vocals. congrats DL, nicely done. looking forward to owning this handsome 12".
― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes, congrats to Dominique! looking forward to this 12".
― Capitaine Jay Vee, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 23:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Ooh, new Mung makes me quite happy indeed.
Semi-related: if you can get it cheap ($10 or less) and don't already have everything on it, the new "Portable Supersound" compilation is totally worth it- hits the highlights from their latest releases and has an exclusive Lift Boys/EYE track that is fucking gorgeous.
― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 02:23 (sixteen years ago) link
The Norwegian soundscape architect won't make his official solo full-length debut until the June 2 release of Where You Go I Go To on Feedelity/Smalltown Supersound. The LP consists of all previously unreleased material, and Lindstrøm's Smalltown Supersound labelmate Kim Hiorthøy designed the album's artwork.

^^^has anyone been there? Just read this on the Smalltown Supersound site: 09.03.2008 LINDSTRØM TO PERFORM NEW ALBUM LIVE AT SXSW Lindstrom `s brand new studio album will be released the 6th of June 2008 worldwide on Feedelity/Smalltown Supersound. The album is titled “Where You Go I Go Too” and this is actually Lindstrom`s debut album as last years “It`s A Feedelity Affair” was a collection of his 12”s. “Where You Go I Go To” consist of brand new material, none of it released on singles before. But if you can`t wait till June, you can hear the album at SXSW! Lindstrom will actually play the whole album live at SXSW. He will only do one concert at SXSW (and in USA) and he will play the album from start to beginning live! This is a one off concert. The album will be released on CD, download and as a double LP. Artwork is done by his Smalltown Supersound labelmate Kim Hiorthøy.

Scandinavian disco kings Hans-Peter Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas are set to release the follow up to their widely acclaimed eponymous debut this year.
The duo have had quite a journey since the release of their debut three years ago, with Thomas completing countless remixes and seeing his Full Pupp stable go from strength to strength, whilst Lindstrøm went on to release his solo cosmic disco opus, Where I Go You Go Too. Both of them have been busy in the studio together during their time back in Oslo, and the fruits of their labour are now finally ready for release.
Whilst Lindstrøm has always been one for using live instrumentation in the studio, Thomas' gradual shift into using more and more live elements in his solo work has meant that their second collaborative album, entitled II, has a much looser, organic feel than the first record. The original intent stands, however, as they merge their italo, Krautrock and disco influences into a lush singular whole, imbuing them with their characteristically warm production sheen. Released just in time for summer, it looks as if the Nordic duo are looking to compete for part of your personal sunshine soundtrack this year.
Tracklist01. Cisco02. Rothaus03. For Ett Slikk Og Ingenting04. Rett Paa05. Skal Vi Proeve Naa?06. Gudene Vet + Snutt07. Note I Love You + 10008. Flue Paa Veggen
Eskimo will release Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas' II on May 26, 2009.
Excited.

This is an amazing headphone record - the sounds just fly around your head.

― otmcat (The Reverend), Monday, 30 March 2009 07:26 (fifteen years ago) link
anyone know who plays what with these two? i assume that lindstrom is manning the synths, but the drumming and guitar flourishes on here are pretty impressive too.
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Monday, 30 March 2009 08:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I imagine the live instrumentation part is driven by Prins
― groovypanda, Monday, 30 March 2009 08:16 (fifteen years ago) link
it's def to the album's credit that programmed and non-programmed elements sound wonderful together, it's pretty difficult to distinguish between the two. can't wait to see them play this stuff live
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Monday, 30 March 2009 08:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Lindstrøm's drumming and the most "instrumentalist" of them. There's a great pic of the two in their studio in the latest edition of Groove magazine. They also elaborate a bit about how they worked stuff out.
― willem, Monday, 30 March 2009 08:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, Prins is less instrumentally hands-on. Lindstrøm is really the studio whiz.

― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Monday, 30 March 2009 09:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I was gonna say, there's definitely live guitar and drums on the last Lindstrom album.
― otmcat (The Reverend), Monday, 30 March 2009 09:05 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i remember people saying he was doing a decent amount of live instrumentation at the recent shows in support of wygigt. didn't he start out as country, anyway?

Exactly - loads of it reminds me of Harmonia as well (esp Deluxe) which I've been listening to a fair bit this year. Be interesting to see if there's anything on here's that is a directly "inspired" by another track as the one of WYGIGT that's basically Michael Schreive with a disco baseline...

So I can't stop listening to "II" but boy, when the final minute and a half of "Gudene Ve & Snutt" (third to last track) kicks in, I *really* *really* can't get enough! That's the kind of music there that'll drive me crazy for months.So... what else sounds like that bit? I feel like it really reminds me of other music I love, but can't quite figure out what I'm thinking of. I thought maybe it was something off of that Jackson & His Computer Band album, or a Boards of Canada moment, but no dice so far. Anyone have some better mental connections?
― altair nouveau, Thursday, 4 June 2009 05:28 (fourteen years ago) link
So I suppose next you're gonna try and tell me that "II" is "house" or something.

No, it's not just genres I'm new to, I find many sub-genre names - even within fields of music I've listened to longer than some of you have been alive - often deliberately obscurantist.
It's fine when it's used to be a sort of shortcut of "oh, well, if you like this, you'll like that..." but so often it's NOT used in this way, it's used as this kind of exclusionary tactic of "oh, you don't know a thing about sub-genre X so you're not worth wasting my time talking to" - which I have utterly NO time for.
This kind of attitude comes up again and again, especially on dance threads on ILX, perhaps because of the kind of cultural capital associated with assigning the correct 30 miliseconds ahead of the trend dance artist to the correct sub genre.
Not accusing you of doing that, Tim F, you've often been incredibly helpful, but this attitude certainly exists, on ILX, and on other boards. And when people start pulling shit like that, yes, I will go into kneejerk mode and start playing deliberately dumb to play on their worst fears of OH NOES UNCOOL PEOPLE LIKE MY MUSIC.
And you're right, I've never had buying duties at a record shop. I have, however, waded through 20 different sub categories trying to figure out where someone has hidden the CD that I want to buy - and then give up and go buy it online from somewhere with a good search function.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 09:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Kate you're building a strawman and accusing people of doing things that no one is doing, possibly because you start by defending yourself against attacks that haven't been thrown at you and work from there.
II is pretty fucking prog though, it can't be denied. But then L&PT's music isn't the sort of dance music that gets neatly shoehorned into micro-genres anyway. And in any case 'Balearic', 'beardo' etc aren't actually microgenres as much as broad umbrella terms. Balearic can include folk and easy listening and house and, yes, prog. It's not just 'add bongos'. </hippy>
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 July 2009 09:16 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd actually go as far as to say that being some kind of sub-Pipecock genre fascist is incompatible with the whole idea of Balearic, new or old.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 July 2009 09:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry, did I imagine those "if Kate starts listening to dance music, I'm stopping" and "oh noes, gentrification" (when I mentioned liking a Patrick Cowley song) comments, then? Did I hallucinate that entire thread where I got a beatdown for saying that Black Meteoric Star sounded like dronerock to me?
I mean, my first comment on this thread was kind of a joking reaction to that BMS thread. But I do think that a "genre" that has stretched so far as to include things as disparate as folk, easy listening and prog is not really a genre per se, but just a handy labelling tool. As you say, an umbrella term, and as such, totally meaningless really.
Anyway, I'm done here.

Well, I might like to go to that if Lindstrom didn't look so freakily like HSA that I'd spend the entire weekend feeling vaguely paranoid. ;-)
I dunno. I'm always more attracted to music that makes mincemeat of genres, or treats them like playthings rather than rules or guidelines to be adhered to.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 09:38 (fourteen years ago) link
^^ Yes but how much music that treats genres like "rules or guidelines to be adhered to" is actually talked about on ILM?
As Matt says (or in addition to that), the entire notion of "beardo" is:
a) half-joking and not even official (it exists outside of ILM, but not to any great extent) b) an idea that "treats genres like playthings"; and c) has basically no rules anyway
This is precisely why it's interesting to talk about as a kind of mental exercise. The question "is this or is this not beardo" or "is this or is this not balearic" is not a question that can yield a definitive answer, but it facilitates the teasing out of qualities of certain records or the interconnectivity of certain records, or the social "vibe" that makes certain older records suddenly sound more populist and current than they did previously.
Saying "this is prog" is totally part of that (though for the record I think the dance term most people would associate with L&PT is "disco", a term nearly as old and hoary as "prog" is) and the resonances you pick up in this music are spot on. But I don't think that's opposed to other kinds of genre term-based commentary.
I'm sure that somewhere someone is rigidly policing dance genre definitions but I rarely see it happen; most discussions of what genre terms mean and where records fit is much more about building meaning than it is about asserting some predetermined version of it.
― Tim F, Monday, 6 July 2009 10:28 (fourteen years ago) link
personally as a lover of drone-rock and of house and techno i hear so much more of the latter in the BMS record - the sound palette is analogue synths and pretty heavy drum machines, these have been the building blocks of dance music for the last 25 years. kate, coming onto a thread and insisting that it's straight-up dronerock doesn't make you wrong per se, because you can draw a thread from it back to the same stuff that inspired a lot of drone-rock - 'e2-e4' and ashra are two sides of the same coin, from the same guy. but it sounds like a bunch of late-80s jack tracks, and gavin russom has said that BMS as a project is his way of exploring dancefloor culture... i mean, i honestly don't see why techno fans saying "this techno record sounds like a techno record" is such a problem.
― old chisel (haitch), Monday, 6 July 2009 11:58 (fourteen years ago) link
i believe we've been quite unfair to kate here - she's obviously using "drone" the way some people use the word "funk"; i.e. a record doesn't have to be a scratchy 45 with a brass section for someone to say "this is pure funk".
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 12:01 (fourteen years ago) link
well yes but it came across like you haven't heard much of the dance music canon, much of which is spectacular, life-affirming music, and much of which sounds like the BMS record. it's not some major crime to have not heard all this stuff. but does it get you curious to delve further?
― old chisel (haitch), Monday, 6 July 2009 12:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Dude, why on earth else do you think I've been getting my arse (politely) kicked all over these dance music threads for the past few months, except to try and explore?
At some point last autumn, I went to an indie gig, saw a dance DJ (who used to be an indie kid) playing a bunch of Silver Apples and Can and dodgy psych records next to a bunch of new records I'd never heard before - but captured more of the *spirit* of what I liked about those old records than the current rock scene supposedly inspired by them. So off I go to find out what this stuff is.
TBH, I'm not that interested in "canon". I have very distinct tastes, and I'm looking for stuff that hits mine own personal sweet spot, and I don't care if it comes from an Aeroplane remix or a Stereolab B-side; from Lindstrom or from T.O.N.T.O.'s Expanding Head Band.
It is a bit weird for me, as a Dirty Dronerock Girl - who pretty much hasn't listened to dance music on any serious level since about 1996, who hasn't even set foot in a club since 2001. Imagine the last time you heard dance music, it was either mindless eurotrance or drum'n'bass (or something equally inpenetrable) - now imagine with that background, that you hear that BMS record or a Lindstrom record. Is your first thought going to be "this is techno" or "this is drone/prog/spacerock?"
It makes sense to me, however, that BMS is a "project exploring dancefloor culture" - and why that would then appeal to me, as an outside to this kind of music. Because it does read, to me, like a drone/space/prog/person who owns too many Tangerine Dream records making a "dance" record, rather than an actual House record. (and having, to my ignorant ears, as many if not more of the signifiers of the former rather than the latter.) Ditto LPT.
(But this kind of "umbrella" genre terms just seem nonsense to me. It's like every ten years or so, a new generation of kids discover the same set of records and rework them in a new setting. And of course, that has to have a new "umbrella" term like "beardo" or whatever because that makes more sense than "we're just playing a bunch of old records we think sound good together." I dislike "beardo" for the same reason I dislike "new rock revolution" or whatever. Maybe this is because I'm a cynical old person and feel like I've heard it all before. Maybe because I am completely ignorant about dance/club culture. Couldn't tell you.)

Maybe I should really have started mine own "A Dirty Dronerock Girl's Adventures In The Dance/Club Scene" thread instead of just randomly reviving threads to go "wow! this is great!" on them. Too late now I suppose.

I think some sub-genres are very much of a time and place, though, so reusing 'post-punk' to describe early 00's bands like Interpol doesn't really work, which leaves people scrambling. iirc, and I might not be, Beardo was used to differentiate from 'cosmic' or 'space disco', the terms being bandied about when Lindstrøm's "I Feel Space" came out, because those were separate genres from a period in the past. Beardo was meant to catch that cosmic/hippy vibe as well sound completely ridiculous (i assume that was intentional?). fwiw, I think you're pretty spot on with the prog thing (L and PT together love to noodle), and I see where you're coming from with BMS.
All that said, I really don't know shit about dance music. It's been a slow conversion from indie gigs for me as well, hence my love of the accessibility of Lindstrøm, Aeroplane, Studio, et al, and probably for the similar reasons you give for getting into it in the first place (notable similarities in style to aforementioned genres and bands).

Is your first thought going to be "this is techno" or "this is drone/prog/spacerock?"
Kate, I think maybe part of the problem is that a lot of your comments, as positive as they are, feel like they're framed against a background of contempt for what I'll call "dance music proper" - e.g. describing eurotrance as "mindless".
One thing I tend to object to is people saying "I think music in X genre is by and large devoid of creativity or interest or soul or (insert term here). Except the following examples, and that is because they're redeemed by secretly being Y genre."
I think some people are likely to become annoyed if they think you're "claiming" Lindstrom or BMS or whatever as "prog" or "drone" not just because you like those genres and see connections, but also because you feel that music you would describe as "house" or "techno" or "trance" is just not worthy of attention.
I don't think that's what you're doing/saying but I can also see where the confusion might arise. I assume you're trying to say "I never got into those other dance genres, so I perceive this stuff differently", but it can come out sounding like "this is the first good dance music in a very long time, because it's not really dance music."
As I was saying above, one of the attractions of terms like beardo/balearic etc. is definitely how they dissolve the borders between what is "strictly" rock and "strictly" dance. But I can't help feeling that any nuanced and useful discussion of these terms or the music that falls underneath them surely must start from the acknowledgment (not just intellectual, but felt, intuited) that there is nothing wrong with "strictly" dance or rock per se or the musical values they embody.
Otherwise it can all very quickly boil down to: "finally! dance music that fits a rock sensibility"... and poorly written reviews about how Lindstrom "transcends" disco and is worthy of a place in heaven next to Klaus Schulze.
― Tim F, Monday, 6 July 2009 13:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Just FYI, the "mindless" was a qualifier on "Eurotrance" - i.e. saying "green door" means specifically the door that *is* green, rather than implying that *all* doors are green.
So, basically, you guys are kneejerk reacting against things that you are infering me as saying, rather than anything I'm actually implying. You're treating me as a straw man for "rockists that only like dance music if it sounds like rock" as much as I'm treating any of you as straw men for genre fascism! ;-)
Maybe I should just retreat into Geir-like closed mindedness and just start banging on about "TEXTURE" and refusing to talk about anything else. Ha ha.
It's more like... this crossover is a way *in* for a DDG to get inside dance music. I'm never going to be a dance music... obsessive. But that doesn't mean that I don't acknowledge the existence and inherent *worth* (for lack of a better word) of dance music as a thing in and of itself. It's just mostly not my thing. There are bits and pieces that appeal to my Geir-like texture obsession. Is it contempt to say you just don't *like* something? I like Acid House, but I don't like House. That doesn't mean I don't think House should exist. It just means it's not my thing.
Which makes it very... confusing (for lack of a better word) for me to find BMS in the "house" section of Phonica.
(The interview linked above really reminds me of Richard Norris talking about him and Genesis P.Orridge making fake "acid house" based solely on reading about it.)
I mean, "strictly rock" makes me want to hurl. These are the people who invaded my beloved Nu-Gaze scene and made it unlistenable. When my idea of dronerock and shoegaze was Sonic Boom discovering analogue synths and making Playing With Fire, or dancing around Sonic Cathedral to the Andrew Weatherall remix of My Bloody Valentine - and suddenly all these yobs in black leather jackets turn up with Marshall stacks and pretending like the BRMC invented the entire genre. And I want to scream NO NO NO NO NO.
So it's ... confusing for me that you're trying to lump me in with the people that I'm trying to get *away* from.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 13:48 (fourteen years ago) link
The back story in that interview explains *why* that record was in the house section of Phonica - but I am reacting to these records just as pure sound, without a back story. Just some random record I picked up coz something someone wrote on another messageboard made me think I might like it.

Kate yeah I got what you're coming from. My point was that I think you give people the wrong impression sometimes by the way you describe things - it's not at all obvious that "mindless" eurotrance doesn't apply to all eurotrance especially in the context in which you used it. It's not contempt to dislike something, but talking about your own experiences in universal-ish terms can make it sound that way. i.e. for lots and lots and lots of people drum & bass is very accessible and drone-rock or nu-gaze would be the very definition of "inpenetrable."

― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 14:35 (fourteen years ago) link
i've really enjoyed reading kate's posts on dance music recently. i've followed the evolution of the genre terms so i get why people think she's "wrong" (though splitting hairs over terms used ONLY on ilx is o_0 in the extreme), but i think her outside perspective is more valuable than being "right" about genres, and she's made it clear that it's a personal perspective which she doesn't expect others to necessarily share. a lot of what she's posted has enabled me to hear things in BMS and L&PT that i wouldn't necessarily have otherwise.
in theory, reading an outsider's perspective of something primarily consumed by genre fans is something i'd want more of, but as tim says, in practice it can often be accompanied by an annoying sense of superiority and dismissal, and part of the reason that i've enjoyed reading kate on BMS etc is that she's not doing this.
at the same time, kate, i don't think the airy/sarky disagreement is as personal as you think - i know it reads slightly disdainful but it's prob due to these threads not usually getting much "outsider perspective" action.
why can't we all just get along, basically. w/r/t the actual substance of the music, this has actually made for a really good read, when people aren't taking offence or being superior.
― lex pretend, Monday, 6 July 2009 14:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't think anyone's claiming that Kate's wrong about L&PT here or that her reasons for liking it are illegitimate, incidentally. It would be perverse in the extreme for anyone to try and argue there was no prog or spacerock in II, or Where You Go I Go Too, particularly when the producers wear their 70s rock influences on their sleeves so readily.
I just find this whole discussion a bit confusing because the scene that Lindstrom and Prins Thomas are part of kind of thrives on this very conscious hippy inclusivity. One of the nice things about nu-Balearic is that it's largely unconcerned with gatekeepers.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 July 2009 14:52 (fourteen years ago) link
let's get back to the music! I have to say that so far I'm a bit disappointed by II, which I find slightly, errr, boring... (whereas I loved 'Where You Go...'). Then again balearic/beardo/whatever seems so dependent on listening context that I might not have heard II in a proper setting.

I have only heard the one Meanderthals track that was on a Smalltown Supersound comp - didn't impress me that much but maybe I need to give it another listen.
I love the sprawl and kind of lack of focus of II. It really gives me the sense of two amazing musicians who just turned on the tape recorder and recorded whatever came out - get the same sort of vibe as from the Harmonia live album that was recently (re)released. Even if this isn't how they did it, the fact that it gives that kind of vibe is quite an accomplishment, to make something so complex and layered sound so... easily tossed off.
The way bits of it remind me for moments of other records - a snatch of something in the midst of a meander. Is this the dance music equivalent of record collection rock, ha ha?

i strongly believe trip-hop should not be a bad word - some of the trip hop stuff from the mid-90s electronica heyday is like up there with my favorite music of all time
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:23 (fourteen years ago) link
ten to fifteen years ago i was listening to weird al and this CD i bought that had all the beatles songs played on synths with dog bark samples so i missed out on trip hop and am excited for its comeback
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 6 July 2009 15:25 (fourteen years ago) link
i loved trip-hop in the 90s (tho only the most well-known, i was 13-15) and have never thought of it as a bad word. it saved me from being into britpop like all the other kids at school.
― lex pretend, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:32 (fourteen years ago) link
hahaha - otm. Yeah it's due for a revival. I guess by the end of it, it had become pretty formulaic (but still more interesting than most of the stuff at that time), but in its heyday, like beardo, the genre was pretty hard to define ("hip hop beats + atmospheric stuff" still left a lot of room for variation)
― baaderonixx, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm also a bit underwhelmed by II - and yet I LOVED LOVED LOVED Where You Go I Go Too, which I probably listened to more often than any other album in the second half of 2008. I miss the pristine precision, the emotional intensity, the sweep and the scale. Difficult to avoid the word "noodly" - which isn't necessarily a bad quality, but I was expecting rather more in the way of transcendence.
― mike t-diva, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i sort of thought of the gang gang dance album as the rehabilitation of trip-hop, but of course it's been going for several years in various permutations. (including dubstep obv.) major difference between beardo stuff and trip-hop, imo, is the general good-vibishness -- trip-hop was built around moodiness, paranoia, noir-y dystopian stuff, a reaction against acid house, trance, etc etc. or it always seemed that way to me. so i think the beardo brigades are maybe using some of the same strategies, musically or sonically, but in a much more utopian (or ecotopian, even) way. good trips vs. bad trips.
― us_odd_bunny_lady (tipsy mothra), Monday, 6 July 2009 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Interesting point, although some of the beardo stuff (esp. Lindstrom) has a somewhat creepy dimension as far as I'm concerned
― baaderonixx, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:51 (fourteen years ago) link
and there's a lot of trip hop (chemical brothers and air to take a couple of examples) that were all about good vibes
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 6 July 2009 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link
^^yeah was just gonna say, trip-hop at its chilled, sleepier end was only a chord change away from "good vibes" - still moody but a good mood - idk if i'd class chem bros as trip-hop, and air were presumably coming from a different scene, but weirdly morcheeba are coming to mind - i might dig big calm out and see how it holds up.
=> => => the good vibes of UK funky?
― lex pretend, Monday, 6 July 2009 16:04 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I was gonna bring up Morcheeba - in a way they represented the end of trip-hop, the point were the sounds had become so ubiquitous that you could use them to make a consensual mainstream record, but still 'Big Calm' is def. part of that scene/era.
― baaderonixx, Monday, 6 July 2009 16:06 (fourteen years ago) link

The Magnificent would've sounded pretty amazing three or four years ago, when I was just catching L&PT fever (and starting this thread) but while I really appreciate the nice chord changes and such I feel he's come SUCH a long way since then (assuming that the tracks are older, of course, cos they *sound* older to me) that i'm not particularly *excited* about it. B-side wins again here though.
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 01:23 (fourteen years ago) link

i guess trip-hop for me has always been defined by its early, moody benchmarks -- massive attack/tricky/portishead most obviously. but for sure morcheeba counts, and mono too. (not that mono, the other mono.) so yeah it wasn't all philip k. dick soundtrack music, even though my favorite stuff sort of was. and that's the side of it dubstep picked up from. whereas lindstrom & al. seem groovier to me in all respects -- which is not a bad thing, i like the unabashed uplift of a lot of it.
― us_odd_bunny_lady (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 01:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i really want to hear lindstrom do something raw and crazy again like 'a blast of loser'. god that was good!
― old chisel (haitch), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 01:43 (fourteen years ago) link
so would it be correct to say that both trip hop and beardo are in some respects baggy or hippy? (stoner music, basically. beardo = the hippy acid house?) my fave lindstrom is "the contemporary fix", but there are so many good ones it is hard to choose.
― society for cutting up (tricky), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link
i like lots of shit that is probably 'trip hop' but when i think trip hop i pretty much exclusively think of the stuff i dont like & it all seems so limited by the breakbeats. boring rap instrumentals
― zzz (deej), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 03:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I love the sprawl and kind of lack of focus of II"Acid Tracks". It really gives me the sense of two amazing musicians who just turned on the tape recorder and recorded whatever came out - get the same sort of vibe as from the Harmonia live album that was recently (re)released. Even if this isn't how they did it, the fact that it gives that kind of vibe is quite an accomplishment, to make something so complex and layered sound so... easily tossed off.
― winston, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 05:51 (fourteen years ago) link
revisiting old trip hop records, the breakbeats/boring rap instrumentals aspect totally ruins them, but so much could fit on the quiet village lp if they just had different beats. i'm thinking mo'wax and stuff, though, if we're talking morcheeba etc.. i can't see those sorts of folks tearing it up w/L&P, there's more of an adult contemporary focus going on there.

i kind of see the parallel in terms of removing all the "untasteful" attributes or whatever, but i think beardo has a wider range that encompasses more wacky goofy shit.
― winston, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 06:06 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm calling this downtempo instead of trip-hop or nu-balearic but it is basically in my top 3 of all time

― winston, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 06:09 (fourteen years ago) link
^^ excellent!! you mean downtempo house for sure though right? (gotta say it's true that the genre hair-splitting gets annoying, but it's how you build a history. heh and a hagiography.)
― society for cutting up (tricky), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 06:47 (fourteen years ago) link
my favorite "trip hop" track in recent memory is "over the breaks" by j dilla.
― society for cutting up (tricky), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 06:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i've always thought that nu-balearic has far more in common with trip hop or downtempo or chillout or whatever than it does with any old-school balearic stuff
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 08:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Chillout and its forebears especially. The Mudd and the Mudd/Smith albums remind me a lot of Ultramarine. Obviously Mungolian Jet Sets are obsessed with the first The Orb album.

They were, separately, absolutely amazing last night. Prins Thomas DJed for the first couple of hours and then teed Lindstrom up for his live set with - get this - a cosmic beatless synth version of Debussy's Clair de Lune. Which was actually sort of gorgeous but the single soppiest thing I have ever seen on a dancefloor.
Then Lindstrom came on and played Where You Go I Go Too as his first track and people went mental. He also did The Contemporary Fix, Grand Ideas, I Feel Space (omg so awesome) and a few other things. Also Baby Can't Stop was played as the penultimate track, the first half, with a moodier and more minimal baseline with Christabelle's vocals chopped up over the top, and then in the second half exploded into the full version with the proper bassline, vocals, brass and everything. Then Prins came back and absolutely killed it for another three hours or so, including a disco dub edit of Layla by Derek and the Dominos. I have now seen the Lex dancing to Eric Clapton.
The other highlight was Horse Meat Disco dropping Timecode by Justus Kohnke which reminded me quite how much I love that record.

been listening to II a whole lot for a week or so. wonderful, obviously.
but has anyone else noticed the odd clipping on "For Ett Slikk Og Ingenting" (one of my faves) that sounds a bit like somebody tapping a mic? they appear in arrhythmic pops throughout a long stretch of the track and just seem to clash so strongly with smooth, seamless sound of the record.
strikes me as odd that it they weren't edited out and that leads me to believe that they were intentionally left in. weird choice if so, imo.
and for the record, I've been listening to the released cd and a flac rip I did of it, so it's not just some audio error on the leaked mp3s. also, I did a quick comparison, and wow, do the leaked mp3s that I had been listening to prior sound crappy compared to the real deal. a gorgeous record like this one really loses something if it's too heavily compressed.

"Prins Thomas to release debut album"
"The album was recorded live by Thomas at his studio in Olso, with brief guest appearances by Lindstrom (on keyboards) and Todd Terje (on trumpet)."

Yeah, just got some press guff about it:
This is the first solo full-length release by Norwegian disco superstar, Prins Thomas. This album showcases Thomas's myriad musical gifts over seven sprawling, ever-evolving, head-nodding, navel-gazing, body-moving, mind-mushing tracks, perfectly assembled for an hour-long trip, almost all of it played by the man himself. Guests such as Lindstrøm lends keyboards to "Wendy Not Walter" and in conjunction with Todd Terje (on trumpet), a funky bit of clavinet on "Sauerkraut." From the shimmering, Neu!-like guitar lines of opener "Ørkenvandring," you're in for a kosmiche treat. Hand-claps and a battery of percussion propel "Uggebugg" right into the groovy synth-slithers of "Slangemusikk," which fittingly translates as "snake music." More double-digit delights lie just beyond the opening tracks (including a shout-out to the mighty Wendy Carlos), but why ruin the funky and sumptuous space party that awaits your head with so many words...

Well, no matter what, I'd pick Lindstrøm alone. I like his layered prog techno a lot better than the 70s disco flirtations he does with Prins Thomas. :)

I did, but then I much prefer PT's hairy, krautrocky stoner tendencies to Lindstrom's high-gloss sound. Two of the tracks are pure Faust/Neu!. It is pretty similar to II though.

Sauerkraut is so krautrock the title even makes a joke about it! Krautrock isn't meant to be opulent, or am I misreading your point?

Krautrock has a different idea of what "opulence" is supposed to mean. As a reaction to all that post-war austerity, it's opulence on the cheap. Whether that means all flowing beards and hair or shiny silver boxes of technology depends on whether you're from Dusseldorf or Berlin?

I tend to think of Lindstrom & PT as opposites - 80s:70s, cocaine:weed, precise:loose, synthetic:organic - and I keep coming down on PT's side. Lindstrom's relentless shiny opulence gets a bit cloying.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Either of those extremes gets fairly boring fairly quickly without the opposite to provide counterpoint.

I've got more tolerance for PT's extremes. His long, winding remixes are sublime.

PT s/t is pretty good on first listen. I'll tread gingerly around the Krautrock comparisons as I'm no expert, but I do hear a lot of Neu! in a couple of tracks. Closer to L&PT II than Major Swellings sound-wise (well, duh) but I can see myself coming back to this more often than I will to II. "Wendy Not Walter" is lovely.

^ don't get me wrong. i think the sound is deliberate. and they obviously do soooomething for the overall vibe of his albums. but sometimes the looseness also feels like... idk, a struggle? like he's trying to play catch up to the rest of the proceedings, and sometimes it's the most chaotic part of the whole sound. and that's not usually what i want when i listen to blissed-out stonery proggy kraut-influenced jams

Looking at the Norwegian reviews, I am puzzled at how they mention a lot of references, but never the most obvious ones (apart from the other Oslo spacedisco acts). Like, one review namechecks Eno and krautrock, but no mention of these guys:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOh4B7zPx70https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpJ9znsDE3I

maybe my favorite Lindstrøm show so far (out of 5-6). the new stuff is exciting and weird. i kept thinking of the Residents at some points. and then he dropped in the forthcoming Harvey single to boot.

I've only seen two shows but yeah I thought this was better than the other one I saw (a few years ago at studio b)
the opening ambient / krauty segment morphing into tribal thump drums and disco was pretty great, there were a lot of different styles. best part for me was when "grand ideas" came in. also think I heard some of "Tirsdagsjam" at one point
by "new stuff" is that the ones with all the vocal loops?

Podcast/Mix from Lindstrøm here:
"After running a podcast from fellow Norwegian space-disco maverick Diskjokke just two weeks ago, it might seem like it's a little soon to post an exclusive mix from Lindstrøm. However, while Diskjokke put together a solid, dancefloor-oriented DJ session, Lindstrøm has gone in a completely different direction. Rather than simply showing off all of the latest dubs or showcasing his limited-edition vintage gems, the veteran artist has assembled a diverse collection of tunes, and although it has not been officially tabbed as an "influences" mix, the varied styles on display—primarily late-'70s and early-'80s prog rock, psych, jangle pop, and disco—all reflect a small piece of the sound that has come to define Lindstrøm's artistic output. It's certainly not what we—or probably anyone, for that matter—would have expected from a Lindstrøm podcast, but it's certainly an interesting listen.
01 Teen Inc "Fountains" (Teen Inc)02 Kirsty MacColl "A New England" (Stiff)03 Turns "Time" (VME)04 John Klemmer "Ecstasy" (ABC)05 Brian Briggs "I Want It" (Bearsville)06 Intergalactic Touring Band "Heartbreaker" (Harvest)07 Wally Badarou "One Day, Won't Give It Away" (Barclay)08 Bernhard Jobski "Pu 94" (Polydor)09 Edward Larry Gordon "All Pervading" (Universal Sound)10 Big Louis "French Kiss" (Living Beat)11 Clair "Ya Papa" (Sun Trek)12 Gino Vannelli "Appaloosa" (A&M)13 Kowalski "Ultradeterminanten" (Virgin)14 Phil Lynott "Yellow Pearl" (Phonogram)15 Earth and Fire "Singer In the Rain" (Qcumber)16 David Matthews "Space Oddity" (CTI)"

Don't know what happened there. I've got this thread bookmarked but it seemed to miss out a few posts so didn't see dmr had already linked it.
And tbh I'd much rather an interesting podcast like this than another solid, dancefloor oriented DJ session of which there are hundreds on soundcloud (not all by Lindstrøm though obviously)

LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF SIX CUPS OF REBEL, OUT FEBRUARY 6TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND
With the latest album from dance producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, Norway’s latest entry in the space race has been launched out of the wooded outskirts of Oslo. Six Cups Of Rebel, Lindstrøm’s third solo album, is a super-sized cosmic disco rocket that burns up a galaxy of eclectic influences in its wake, from Bach to Deep Purple, from Prog rock and arpeggiator disco to Acid House, while sounding sleek and utterly contemporary. He may worship at the temple of godlike European DJs from the 80s like Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda, but the relentless, occasionally monumental scale of Six Cups Of Rebel has the power to move mountains all by itself.
Lindstrøms Six Cups of Rebel is set for release February 6th on Smalltown Supersound.

This is fantastic, there seems to be a bit of a microtrend among nu-disco types leaning towards big clattery walls of Goodmen-esque drums, of which this is a relatively restrained example. I approve.

I agree Six Cups is fun (funny, even). But can see why a lot of folk who like the previous albums are gonna balk at this. It's like he thought "how can I combine Blast Of Loser and Little Drummer Boy and make them even more annoying?". The 'singing' on tracks 3 and 4 is going to get some getting used to as well. But I think he needed to do something a bit different at this point. And I love the arc of the record, the blurred edges between tracks (it feels a bit like a mix CD) and the way it comes full circle at the end. The whole is definitely > the sum of its parts.
― Jeff W, Friday, 3 February 2012 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
tbh, I think losing the vocals on "Magik" and "Quiet Place to Liev" would have dramatically improved this for me
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
I'm an unrepentant Lindstrom stan and I'm having trouble with this. The vocals really are too much, they're just done in this kind of goofy camp tone (maybe even pitch shifted? I don't know, they just sound wrong) and it really rather spoils it for me.
The guy's body of work has been so consistently amazing I'll forgive him a misstep like this, but I really am feeling it's a bit of a misstep.

The fact that he forgot to write any tunes, and filled up the record with sub-Mungolian Jetset jokiness was more what killed it for me.

I just have terrible memories of that "All I want is a quiet place to live" song that went on FOREVER with the vocals growing more and more grating. Maybe I should give it another spin, but I'm just traumatised by the memory.
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
There were reports of Lindstrom suffering from crippling writer's block when trying to make that album and it shows, there's a load of bluster to disguise the lack of tunes. Maybe he's just loosened up now the pressure's off.

HURRAH:
August 16, 2012For Immediate Release LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, SMALHANS, OUT NOVEMBER 5TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND LISTEN TO SMALHANS’ “RÁ-ÁKÕ-ST” NOW
Smalhans is the fifth solo album by Norwegian producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, and his second album to come out in 2012. Earlier this year he released Six Cups of Rebel, which was a very personal album for Lindstrøm and showed his more experimental side. Now, this forthcoming record, out November 5th on Smalltown Supersound, finds Lindstrøm back on the dance floor with six monumental tracks – classic Lindstrøm style. Smalhans was mixed by his friend Todd Terje, who has also made extended edits which will be released as 12”s. The album title is an old Norwegian word and means scarcity or simply poverty. Each track on the album is titled after a traditional Norwegian meal. Smallhans is Lindstrøm at his very best, perfected by Todd Terje.

― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Friday, 17 August 2012 09:32 (eleven years ago) link
That O-Palz remix is the ~strangest~ thing I've heard in a while. And I mean that in the best possible way. Like, as soon as it was over, I had to go back and listen to it again to work out what it was that I had been listening to. In a "wait, this makes no sense, and yet it is super more-ish!" Like, this has all the hallmarks of a techno remix - but it is not a techno remix at all, it sounds like Steve Reich deconstructing a techno remix.
I'm worried that this sounds faintly insulting, which is not intended at all - I like it a lot, and want to listen to it again and again. But it's not at all what I was expecting from the description - it's something a lot more interesting.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 09:48 (eleven years ago) link
Actually the original is a pretty strange track to start with. I had forgotten. I'm trying to give 6 Cups another listen with a clearer mind, so we'll see how far we get.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 10:23 (eleven years ago) link
6 cups is such a weird record & very personal ?
― ogmor, Friday, 17 August 2012 10:42 (eleven years ago) link
I am starting to think "very personal" means "please don't criticise me too harshly, I know it was not much cop but I was trying my hardest, alright?"
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
or more like "please don't criticise me too harshly, I know it was not much cop but I was going through some weird shit at the time"
― Roz, Friday, 17 August 2012 10:52 (eleven years ago) link
OK, yeah, that sounds a lot fairer. (I am a terrible person.)
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 10:54 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I thought mb it was more of an attempt to play around w/ records he grew up with, a nostalgic project. still haven't digested it properly, I ended up listening more to the mix cd that came w/ it & w/ that omar suleyman remix of bjork &c.

Just listening to 6cups again, and, aside from madness at the start of Call Me Anytime, and some of the slightly odd vocal effects, it's not as "wtf get away from me" as on first impact. Nowhere near as cool / minimal as other stuff he's done, obviously, but delicious-sounding all the same. Just a bit... zany.

2nd time through and I can say I really dig the new Prins Thomas. Søt Kløt sounds like a PT remix of a classic Hardfloor track and Symfonisk Utviklingshemming is perhaps the most beautiful track he's ever done solo or with Lindstrom. Really dig it in full but there are definitely a few shining moments and then some tracks that are good but not particularly memorable.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
from the press release:
it’s more like ‘Raakost’ (raw vegetables) to ‘Vafler’ (waffles) – with lashings of ‘Lammelaar’ (dried salted lamb meat), ‘Vossakorv’ (‘a sheep-sausage made in Voss’), and ‘Eggedosis’ (‘what you get when you mix eggs and sugar with a blender. Kids love it… At least, I did when I was younger!’). Yum!

the Prins Thomas one ended up boring me, although I totally love a bunch of his recent remixes (the Metronomy one, a few others I don't have readily at hand right now). Smalhans, though... wow. I went into it with what I thought were unrealistically high hopes for it and it somehow managed to exceed them all.

I find Smalhans alternately extremely annoying or anxiety inducing. There's something so grating about the relentless upbeatness of it, the arpeggios etc. It gives me a headache.
― jed_, Monday, 12 November 2012 09:58 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I can see why the perkiness of nu-lindstrom would annoy, especially listening to all the tracks consecutively as an album. (I still like it though.)
PT2 is much subtler and works well as an album / home listening experience - and I love the fact that it's an almost continuous mix. I haven't yet downloaded the individual tracks in their unmixed and extended forms - am eager to see if they stand up in that form.
Interesting that both L & PT have seemingly simultaneously abandoned guitars.

― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 12 November 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
of course I dont think it's appropriate for all occasions
I played Vos-sako-rv and Va-fle-r at a friend's party a few weeks ago and got looks of extreme puzzlement from most everyone there. I chalk this up to my friends preferring more traditionally housey stuff, though (they came unglued for the Morales remix of "Totally" and Roger Sanchez' "Another Chance"); in any event, they better get on the trolley as I plan on finding a way to work both of those in at every possible occasion in the future. and needless to say I cannot WAIT for the Terje extendathon remixes of both of those two tracks in particular.

I'm finding this too - I feel as though the record's horizons are somehow too small? 'Where you go I go too' also had that overly exuberant feeling, but it felt like it was travelling across a huge expanse, like there was enough space for the music to leap as far as it wanted. The tracks on Smallhans feel somehow trapped, like there's not enough room for their bounciness.

Where You Go, L&PT II, & Cristabelle, Six Cups and Smallhans is a crazy run- the records have more in common than seems on the surface, but cover a lot of ground. They're upbeat without lacking depth, like a comedic director who doesn't get the credit until you look back a his peak and see just how consistently insightful he was, how subtle he was in exploring his shtick.
― bendy, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 15:13 (eleven years ago) link
Yah but I think there's been a major stylistic shift with Six Cups and Smallhans, a move toward massive layers of mid-range synths. I feel like these last two records are about Lindstrøm exploring his harmonic sensibilities (he loves Shepard sequences) rather than pushing any envelope
― the grandeur of ryan gosling (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
The thickness of the mid-range polyphony on Smalhans reminds me more of Jean-Michel Jarre than anything
― the grandeur of ryan gosling (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
What I get out of Smallhaus is an experiment to see how much he can push Shepard spiral staircases, without getting exhausting. I can totally see how it could be anxiety inducing, but when I'm feeling in the space for it, it really gets me.

Can't wait for 'Magaluf' to come out. It's okay, it's fun, bit by the numbers. Haven't been massively into what Lindstrom and Terje have been up for the past couple of years, but I think that's just because my tastes have drifted away a bit from the happy melancholy nu-disco stuff. Lindstrom's auto-accompaniment modulations are starting to grate a bit now, I dunno.
OTOH I queued up everything by Prins Thomas on Spotify t'other day and there's so much cool stuff in there. Amazing basslines!

It isn't. It's also less immediate than II.

I played Cosmo Galactic Prism for the first time in quite a while last week and that's such a great mix with a groove & pace that's totally in and of itself. This looks like a different, much clubbier, kind of beast. Saw/heard him play near Amsterdam last month and that sounded like what this tracklist looks to deliver.

the less said about the album the better. Don't think trainwreck is too harsh. "Home Tonight" starts off uncharacteristically bland but then turns a corner and becomes prime Lindstrom. Lindstrom & Christabelle style vocals and hooks plus these piano fills, I'd buy that over and over and over again.

picked up "paradise goulash", not so sure how i feel about it. i like disc 1 a lot, not totally sold on discs 2 and 3. i really think he's much better at the cosmic / balearic thing than the techno thing. has he always been this techno?
― the late great, Thursday, 17 December 2015 08:24 (eight years ago) link
I enjoy it but it is kinda out of character I agree, the techno parts sound like something one of the Get Physical guys would have done about 8/9 years ago, like kind of trance inflected minimal.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah! very ... amorphous
― the late great, Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:23 (eight years ago) link
it was all p cool but it is the first mix i've paid for (as opposed to it being shared freely) in years and years, and there are so many better free mixes this year in which i discovered more music.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:28 (eight years ago) link
PT's "Live at the Robert Johnson" is definitely more techno-heavy, and comes highly recommended. Paradise Goulash is really good but doesn't quite cohere in the way Cosmo-Galactic Prism did, but then again the latter is all-time
― The Male Gaz Coombes (Neil S), Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:46 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I feel like if you're going to actually sell a mix these days it has to justify being onsale. That either means being way better than the sort of thing you'd give to RA or a blog or something for free, or it has to feel more considered, or definably a bit more like an album. DJs like Mayer and Weatherall are consistently good at this, but I think the whole randomness of Prins's approach makes this more difficult, especially when there are jobbing Balearic guys whacking really good free mixes up every week.
I dunno, I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to commercial v free mixes. I like decent sound quality, I like being able to see artist names and track titles, I like the implied permanence of a really good mix album, otherwise I'd rather just listen to a live recording or radio set. Doesn't help that there's just this enormous glut of free mixes out there and they're quite a time investment given that, unless you know the DJ, you don't know what you're getting into at the start.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:48 (eight years ago) link
you just have to start using soundcloud in the right way, then the good free mixes will flow like wine
it's the same as anything, a bit of nosing around, following some known djs, seeing who they follow. i tend to crave mixes at work though so i get through a lot. you do discover v good djs who aren't really well known.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Thursday, 17 December 2015 09:55 (eight years ago) link
I find Soundcloud quite an annoying interface to use, I can see why people like it but I find dutifully clicking through web interfaces (Soundcloud or Youtube or whatever) to be a really joyless way of listening to music. I'm looking at it now and there are like 14 Lord of the Isles mixes staring at me, it feels like homework and I can't be arsed.
I can't really listen at work, so any mixes I do listen to will be on my commute, and that's premium listening/reading space. Maybe I should make a new space, like incorporate techno cooking into my life or something.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 December 2015 10:05 (eight years ago) link
Definitely the case, you come to realize how much name DJs are phoning it in. But it is the idea of nosing around, like going for a walk in the woods instead of going to the exhibition, then in the woods you suddenly realize there is a dappled light, its really quite something
― saer, Thursday, 17 December 2015 10:16 (eight years ago) link

― saer, Thursday, 17 December 2015 10:21 (eight years ago) link
I dunno, the woods are enjoyable wherever you are, which is more than can be said for looking at an ugly orange webpage on your computer, slogging through some nondescript deep house in case something good comes up. That's not a walk in the woods, it's like shopping for shoes.

That Michael Rother really is brilliant - there's a real clarity and sunniness to it, feels like such a good driving album as well as an ambient one. Like it's sort of midway between Kraftwerk and Dire Straits in its melodic sense.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 February 2016 10:34 (eight years ago) link
yeah i went for a walk in the park yesterday and listened to it, it was very sunny and i quickly felt in a kind of transcendental mood. dire straits otm, there were parts where i was imagining how good it would be with singing, but probably better without overall. it's very strange, sort of goettsching standard procedure and then these pristine guitar "choruses".
must try some of his other stuff.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 15 February 2016 10:39 (eight years ago) link
TBH every time I listen to a Dire Straits song that isn't Romeo and Juliet I never actually enjoy it, like it never lives to the platonic ideal of Dire Straits that I've built up in my head. But there's something about the pristine Knopfler-esque guitar sound I love when I hear it in other contexts (probably why I still love The War On Drugs despite their inherent corniness).
Anyway back to Michael Rother, you hear a lot of those guitar textures all over Prins's solo work, and the melodies are all over Lindstrom's stuff. The first track on Where You Go I Go Too definitely feels like it's consciously channeling this record.

Remixes incoming
https://soundcloud.com/smalltownsupersound/prins-thomas-cicube-remix
Smalltown Supersound will release three remix EPs based off Prins Thomas's Principe Del Norte album. That record, released last week, saw the cosmic Norwegian producer looking back to the the '90s 'braindance' movement for inspiration, specifically ambient works by The Black Dog, The KLF and The Orb. The latter legends are among the heavy-hitters who contribute versions of Principe Del Norte for the upcoming three-part set. Minimal star Ricardo Villalobos will also contribute two remixes of "C," and Young Marco, I:Cube and Sun Araw, the Californian psychedelic rocker who appeared on Thomas's epic Paradise Goulash mix, have been tapped for reworks too. Hieroglyphic Being starts off the series with a 12-inch featuring his two takes on album track "D." The Hieroglyphic Being versions will be available next month, with a release date for the second EP, featuring the Villalobos, Young Marco and I:Cube remixes, yet to be announced. Full details on the 12-inch with Sun Araw and The Orb's submissions are still forthcoming.

I was there! Did you stay for Todd Terje?
― Evan, Monday, 1 August 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
When I said "tonight" I meant at the gig in DC.
Unless of course Todd Terje was a surprise guest there in which case, no, I didn't, and yes, I'm weeping at the thought of missing it.
― Gukbe, Monday, 1 August 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link
Crowd in DC was pretty small. Those there seemed more into "Closing Shot" and "Home Tonight" more than I Feel Space. But really, a tiny crowd.
― Gukbe, Monday, 1 August 2016 19:15 (seven years ago) link
Oh! I saw Lindstrom open for Todd in BK on Friday. I should have looked more closely at when you posted the comment.

How was Todd?
I think him and the Olsens work better in a live setting than a recorded one
― groovypanda, Monday, 1 August 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link
I saw him in DC the last time. It wasn't a big crowd but wouldn't call it tiny either. Just a bunch of nerds dancing. I wonder if he will be able to play there again...

Principe del Norte felt totally overwhelming when it came out - I only listened to it a couple of times back in Feb - but returning to this weekend and I'm blown away.
For whatever it's worth, it's quickly becoming one of my 2016 faves.

― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Sunday, 27 November 2016 22:00 (seven years ago) link
^Yes. It's as good or bad as any other remix compilation. BUT it does include new tracks "I", "J" and "K", which are up there with the best of Principe del Norte. I'm treating these tracks as an addendum to the parent album in my EOY list.

Two and a half hours of goodness from Mr Thomas on BiS last night (including a track from the recent Lindstrom 7" promo):

I am only just now getting around to Principe Del Norte and it is SO good, probably my favorite solo album of his. sounds a lot more melodic than his other stuff for some reason. in any event, extremely good and totally worth the time investment, even though the messed-up labels don't make it easier to keep track of things.
also I saw him DJ on Friday night in a LA warehouse for 6 hours straight and it was RAD. fun fact: Thomas' set at the dearly-departed Mountain Bar ten years ago (!!!) was my first venture into LA nightlife.
― thos beads (jamescobo), Monday, 12 December 2016 04:28 (seven years ago) link
"H" came up on shuffle and I thought it was Blondes. Funny I never made the connection before. Principe has a more minimal sound but even so.

The vocals on 'Shinin' really smack of "will this do?" and have just reminded me how outrageous it is that Christabelle seemingly disappeared without trace.
― Matt DC, Friday, 25 August 2017 08:11 (six years ago) link
this is sounding very cool
https://assets.boomkat.com/spree/products/433278/large/5053760030515_T11_Image.jpg
Prins Thomas provides a thorough, kraut-ish, cosmic-styled overhaul of Dungen’s Häxan, a soundtrack to the 1929 animation film ‘Adventures of Prince Achmed’
“With ‘Versions By’ Prins Thomas takes Dungen on a journey down a new winding road; 17 minute epics, wide open spaces, Balearic ambience, psychedlia, all things cosmic and Kraut grooves. Or as the sleeve notes remark; "recorded, remixed, rearranged, chopped, screwed, glued and partially reproduced with love by Prins Thomas".
The record is woven together with the same stitch as his seminal mix-albums ‘Cosmic Galactic Prism’ and ‘Paradise Goulash’, creating the perfect flow, way beyond a mix. It’s obvious Prins Thomas has been enjoying himself with the original analogue tapes of the record.
“Dungen has long been one of my favourite bands. Their music is a daily staple in the house, so much so that even my 3 year old daughter recognises any Dungen record from the first few seconds playing. If there's any ‘dream comes true’s’ left, having Joakim (Smalltown Supersound founder) request a remix for them comes close. The tracks in question was the music for the 1929 animation film Adventures of Prince Achmed, the music that later became the Häxan album. With all the possibilities AND the limitations these tapes had it would be easy to get lost on the way… and of course, it DID get totally out of hand and I ended up with over an hour of recorded material. It has to be pointed out, this is NOT a ‘Dungen’ album, but more like an exploration of the raw material. In some places only using a single sound or two to construct something new, in other places just rearranging sections of songs. Hope you all enjoy hearing this record heard through a new set of ears.” – Prins Thomas”

The new single "Shinin" may be his most generic track ever.
― skip, Friday, 6 October 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link
Shinin' seems of a part with the Lindstrøm & Christabelle stuff, which I'm cool with. very much looking forward to hearing what he does with Jenny Hval.
Tensions is the more recent Lindstrøm single, and fits in nicely with the more spacey instrumentals. haven't heard anything yet to suggest that the album won't be dope.
― fffv, Friday, 6 October 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link
I much prefer Lindstrom on his own. Prinz gets pretty fucking interminably noodly - his solo album is perhaps the dullest tenner I ever spent.

― thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 11:15 (six years ago) link
He was great last year when I saw him. Weirdly the small crowd was more into Closing Shot etc and barely responded to I Feel Space.
― Gukbe, Wednesday, 18 October 2017 11:46 (six years ago) link
The new album has several fantastic moments but he stopped surprising us years ago and the quality just plummets nearly every time a vocalist appears. Only Jenny Hval's song rises above the completely generic and I usually can't abide her solo stuff.
― Matt DC, Friday, 20 October 2017 08:04 (six years ago) link
It just reminded me of how much I'd prefer to hear Christabelle again to that utterly off-the-peg Scandi sadsack 'contribution' to 'But Isn't It'.
― Matt DC, Friday, 20 October 2017 08:19 (six years ago) link
Never mind. Prins Thomas has been excelling of late. There's a taster track from PT5 on Spotify today (also here: http://www.factmag.com/2017/10/05/prins-thomas-5-album/). I didn't really like the Björn Torske collab LP, but the "Edmond / Montague Grant" and "Apokalypso" 12 inches are great, as is the Dungen remix album. All of these sound nothing like each other.
― Jeff W, Friday, 20 October 2017 08:35 (six years ago) link
The whole of PT5 is now available to stream. Only listened to half of it so far but "Here comes the band" put a massive smile on my face.

just getting around to the new Lindstrom album as I was contemplating seeing him tonight and it's really... dull? It sounds unfinished. I really loved "Home Tonight" from yesteryear and the Christabelle album but the vocalists on this are doing nothing.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 16 December 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
The Prins Thomas semi-improvised duet album with Norwegian jazz pianist Bugge Weeseltoft is really good. Laid back listening that's perfect for lazy summer Sunday afternoon. Could have done without the last track ('Epilog'), which finally crosses over into aimless noodling. But the rest is quality. PT continues to bat at over .900 while remaining as prolific as ever.

he's such a talented melodist, it's fun to hear him go in a more idk classical/new age direction. 'swing low sweet lfo' sounds like it could be the 'i am the center' comp, reminds me of the iasos track. it's all pretty 'noodly' tbh but i would rather describe it that quality as 'deep' and as something that has the promise to emerge and gain life through repeated listens.
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 17 October 2019 20:11 (four years ago) link
on first listen this is just beguilingly good imo, very near the top of the new age / ambient / balearic revival of the last 15 years.
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 17 October 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link
the promise to emerge and gain life through repeated listens.
Definitely been true for me. Things that just seemed formless the first time through take on texture and shape. Especially on that first track, which I really like.

there is a lot of tangerine dream pastiche on this but it's better than that sounds i think. right now i feel like there's a lot of unrealized potential here, like it points in a lot of different exciting directions at once? i'm not sure how or if it all gels but there's something simultaneously compelling and distancing about the harmonic drift that makes me want to keep listening to it.

My grandfather invited me to a cruise in the Caribbean back in 2006 and one of the few full albums on my ipod was their first album. It pretty much was the only thing I listened to for a week. It’s a precious album attached to good memories and sunny weather for me but I can’t remember when was the last time I played it.
I do remember there’s always something interesting up ahead... every time you’re about to think “well this loop doesn’t seem to be going anywhere...” they smash you with a resolution that skyrockets the whole thing to another level. It’s a trick they do in almost every track, sometimes twice per track iirc and it’s blissful if you have the patience for it.

(made an album)
"small stream" is a little rhodes waltz with some analog techno in the bg.

hmm i think the slower tracks on this are my favorite so far, incl. "oranges"

really dumb move on Bandcamp's part that if you check out an album and start playing it, buying it will stop the music

"harmonia" ethereal drum circle

xp yeah the ux on bandcamp has some issues
oh damn "birdstrike" is .. also gorgeous

Just started in on headphones. Sounding lush so far
― groovypanda, Friday, 20 November 2020 18:54 (three years ago) link
wait till you get to the end! spoiler: it's also lush
― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 19:55 (three years ago) link
this is a little more low-key than II and doesn't reach the same incredible peaks but it's still great. pure comfort food
― ufo, Friday, 20 November 2020 20:06 (three years ago) link
Is it just that this was done on different equipment or what? It sounds much more generic than the last two. I like it, but it doesn't stand out as being unique or seem to have the same magic as their other stuff. Maybe it's going to take more plays for the personality to come through.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 20 November 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
Yeah agree, this album is great and I will play it relentlessly, but it's not as out there as the last couple. Oranges sounds a lot like Hatchback to me. Which is fine!

Haven't fully connected with the album yet but do love this kinda piece. Some new stuff to explore (for me): https://daily.bandcamp.com/big-ups/lindstrom-prins-thomas-big-ups

It's also a tropical audio islet with rhythms bouncing around and fooling you where the beat is and just a crazy spacy trip all round.
They gone done it again!

put it on the headphones while giving your plant buddies a shower

oranges is blissed out and easy-going, constantly unfolding with ever vaster expansions of chill. this record is airy and light, very daytime

does anyone know if christabelle sandoo did anything after 'real life is no cool' or did she move on from music?
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 16:37 (nine months ago) link
her performance on 'baby can't stop' is still all-time for me
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 16:38 (nine months ago) link
This is from her LinkedIn. Not sure that album was ever released
After touring ‘Real Life is No Cool’, which included shows at Øya, Roskilde, Benicassim (Spain), BLOC (UK), Bestival (UK) + + +, Christabelle has been working on new material for her debut solo album due for release in February 2013, together with some of Europe’s most exciting young producers. She’s also been developing her talents as a video artist, the results of which will be premiered at Numusic 2012 .
― groovypanda, Thursday, 13 July 2023 22:12 (nine months ago) link
what a talent. i hope she's doing well.
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 22:19 (nine months ago) link
new album is just comfort food, he's done this thing countless times before and it's not as good as any of those (especially not ii or where i go you go too), but it's still pretty pleasant to have on in the background
― ufo, Friday, 14 July 2023 02:29 (nine months ago) link
his last high watermark for me was 'closing shot'
― ꙮ (map), Friday, 14 July 2023 02:45 (nine months ago) link
yeah i would agree there
― ufo, Friday, 14 July 2023 03:05 (nine months ago) link
There's a dank mystery in "Under Trees," the closer from It's Alright Between Us as It Is, that I've always found rather special.
Disappointed that there seems to be no CD version of the new album -- I suppose if there are hardcore Lindstrøm collectors out there, they're used to buying 12"s anyway.

if we're talking favorite late-period Lindstrom tracks, mine is probably Algorytme:

the segment from the breakdown through where it all clicks together is one of my favorite bits in his entire catalogue

I like this album a lot more than I expected reading the previous comments. "Syreen" and "Nightswim" are the kinds of synth-driven dance tracks he has made a career out of (still excellent). But the latter two tracks are where my ears perked up: "The Rind" has a killer breakdown and build up led by ascending jazz chords and a relentless beat punctuated by disco strings; the title track is blissful and evolves into an extended electric guitar meditation.

'Everyone else is a stranger' probably my fav
