Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

been listening to II a lot lately - one of my favourites of the year no question. love all the sparkly tinkly sounds on flue paa veggen and when the aaaahh vocals sort of unexpectedly turn up towards the end <3 <3

I'm not really getting II that much, more looking forward to the Christabelle album, but then again it took me a while for 'Where you go...'

i'm looking forward to the Christabelle album too especially going on "Lovesick" and max's enthusiastic description of it on the other thread. also 40 minute jam of "Little Drummer Boy" wtf.

but right now, quiet night at home, II's noodliness = yes.

I can't understand how anyone could not dig this album. It's like prog heaven.

II probably would get my album of the year simply because it sounds good no matter what mood I'm in.

The banjo always surprises me, no matter how many times I hear this album.

really like what someone posted upthread (was it you Ned?) about the programmed bits and the live bits, just how seamless it all sounds.

Probably not me but I'll take the compliment!

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.

a cosmic beatless synth version of Debussy's Clair de Lune

presumably Isao Tomita's version - would love to hear this on a big system

Yeah that's the version - it sounded pretty amazing on the Corsica soundsystem, which is one of the best in London.

gutted, missed it on saturday, went to Benetti in Brixton instead (due to financial constraints). Was is superb?

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.

been rediscovering the s/t lately... SO GOOD

OK the clipping on "For Ett Slikk Og Ingenting" is basically ruining the song for me now. I can't listen to anything else on the track! am I crazy?

also, the clean guitar strumming on the last track always makes me think of faust iv.

The thing that sounds like someone's miked the plectrum instead of the instrument on a guitar track intended to be extremely low in the mix? Must definitely be intended, I'm thinking, but don't see why.

(xpost!)

you're right, that's exactly what it sounds like.

so weird!

^this has always bothered me, but i never knew if it was supposed to be there or what it was or what

fertilize that shit maxfan

His Doves-Jetstream remix is recommended (if only the Doves' lead singer had a better voice it would have been perfect).

listening to it now and this bears repeating

just wanna share this video of his recent gig in my country. enjoy.

"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)."

http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=11653

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...

sooooo stoked on this!

it's a good 'un.

u got a copy?!

who do you think wrote the press guff?

Hahaha
