Lansing-Dreiden-The Incomplete Triangle:Album Of The Year?

And I only know the Beta Band's 3 eps release, but I can't say I see the similarities.

honestly, after listening to both albums tonight, they sound even stranger and more out of time than when they came out. I mean, they always existed in their own geodesic dome of a universe, but now that the bad taste of bad 80's pastiche has almost completely left my mouth, I hear both records in , um, the context of no context. i mean, they are just CDs that have been sitting around forever and that I haven't listened to in ages. and they are even further removed from something that they really had nothing to do with at the time. that 80's thing that was mostly dud in my book. the last 80's thing. not the one before that. having said that, i'm looking forward to the solo album by the guitarist from the faint. digi-metal. and signed to relapse! where is colin the mole, anyhow?

i take it back. i just listen to dude's myspace. the faint dude's myspace. it's horrible.

the faint is the worst band

and is relapse just reissuing an old album of his? oh whatever.

i saw the faint in philly way back when and the only time they roused me from my stupor was when they played enola gay. they did a nice version.

the faint had one ok song (not the one about strippers) but that one album of theirs i have is wretched

I was just thinking about Lansing-Dreiden. I still love them.

they got the synths right. but they had no songs. i was more of a reggie & the full effect fan. as far as emo-identified 80's goofs go. and i even liked reggie's metal songs! dwarf invasion!

i am wearing a Lansing-Dreiden shirt

sweet

ok the new free ep available for free on the site is THE SHIT

;)

LISTENING NOW

thanks for the heads up!

of course i can't help but want the song "tri" to keep going for another five minutes.

Thanks for the head zup.

Ultimately, The Incomplete Triangle is exactly what Lansing-Dreiden claim it is: Art. But I have to tell you, I don't spend a lot of time listening to Art. I listen to Music

(Dying here)

Grabbing new EP now!

psyched for this, thanks

"I Disappear" is amazing, kind of Studio-ish.

but not really. What does it sound like? 80s RnB?

Cool, that was pretty good. Looks from the website like their little art collective has been quiet for the last couple years.

hmm....weird...i think i like this...i all i've heard is this EP...i sort of don't know what to think because to me it sounds not like a three song EP by one band, but a three song mix of three different bands!

That's what their albums sound like too, but adjusted for scale (well, especially Incomplete Triangle).

I Disappear sounds kinda like these tracks (some might even say balearic, shh):

Yeah M@tt if you like that their albums are for you.

so do any of the L-D fans here also like Violens? It's two, or maybe more, of those guys, non-anonymous style. More 80s British influences dominate but I have been listening to their EP a lot.

I didn't know about them, but I'm checking out their myspace now. Doesn't interest me as much as Lansing-Dreiden, but then some of their stuff has had to grow on me. I like it a bit, and I hear a little more than just an 80s approach in the melodies and harmonies, so that's a plus, but it's not as hard to place as L-D often is, I think.

on the whole they are not as intriguing as L-D but they have well constructed songs. This might be my favorite (it's not on the ep)

violens bores the shat out of me

"disappear from here" is brilliance. need more new stuff from them.

I like this EP but I need more. And I think Lansing-Dreiden's albums benefit from the cumulative effect of all tracks (although that doesn't fit in too well with my lack of enthusiasm for the last few tracks on Incomplete Triangle--but even those have grown on me a bit).

listening to "laid in stone" now. love this album

dividing island sounded great last time i listened to it (about a month ago).

sweet. didn't they only release one single on vinyl?

if louis doesn't like this band my whole worldview will fall apart

TELL ME MORE

the only one i've heard is Tri, which sounds like, man i dunno a way more fucked up muse with a fast metal drummer on one song, and kinda spark shit on another then like scritti polliti soft rock era shit on another. every song sounds like different band kinda

that sounds fairly promising in a not-quite-mindblowing-but-totally-agreeable way

when I am done inducting myself into the land of cLOUDDEAD I shall seek them out

Are L-D comparable to These New Puritans?

ok listening to the SECOND album (because the first isn't on Spotify) and jeez this is odd

and good! like, i can't place it, which is generally always a good thing

it SEEMS quite 80's, but couldn't possibly BE 80's, if that makes sense

yeah that basically sums it up. it's the 80s through one dude's very weird filter

altho my fav part is in the first song where they just turn into the who for a couple minutes

the middle-order one-two punch of 'part of the promise' and 'our next breath' is *magnificent*

actually the second half of this record is shaping up to be exceptional
