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?

Put your promo in the post and send it to me. I will even write the review for you. :-P

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?

wonder if he was playing bits off this on sunday night, when i saw him play a set on a balcony as the sun went down. the stuff i didn't know, it was good!
― eau de humanity (haitch), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link
oh my point was more that other lindstrøm stuff - even ii - is a ton more opulent than this.

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.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I've got more tolerance for PT's extremes. His long, winding remixes are sublime.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:28 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm coming down on the lindstrøm side for each of those

I don't want it to be opulent. I want it to be sweaty and dirty.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Stop biting my style, DC.
Anyway, who says sweat and dirt can't be opulent in their proper place?

Yeah, I'm hoping for an album full of White Diamond remixes.

it's basically pretty hairy and rocky, not even krautrocky specifically
not seein where this is coming from. it is extremely krauty, i'm very much digging it, and generally i tend to be far less tolerant than most of krautless rock.

haven't heard the whole shebang yet but I'm really liking the "wendy not walter" track on here:http://www.wavesatnight.com/2010/02/20/prins-thomas/
for those who have heard the album: is "wendy not walter" a track that it makes sense to gauge the rest of the album with? it doesn't really mesh with the "dirty, sweaty, hairy" comments on the thread imo.
this pic is def pretty sweaty, tho:

"Wendy Not Walter" <- didn't a prominent ILX0r get sued for this kind of thing? I call bullshit.

On that song title, duh.

(The song, however, is doing it to me in the eardrum.)
((Agree it is neither dirty nor sweaty nor hairy, though. It is a shiny and wonderful diskomiks as expected))
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Song title not bullshit. Track unrepresentatively shiny.

cool. nice to know there will be some shiny to go along with all the hairy.

Prins Thomas (from the interview linked upthread): "I’m doing an album with The Mole" :DDD
that's really exciting, as i've been playing the new PT album and The Mole's For the Lost/There's Hope nonstop for the past few days (also Etienne Jaumet's Night Music, which is fucking awesome--produced by Carl Craig)

RA photoshopped that shirt to say "Adult Oriented Disco", which would be equally as good.

"80s:70s, cocaine:weed, precise:loose, synthetic:organic" I think I like this assessment. I hear more new wave, even Jam & Lewis in Lindstrom than in Prins thomas.
― Jacob Sanders, Friday, 26 February 2010 23:00 (fourteen years ago) link
we were just comparing the L&C album to the (Jam & Lewis-produced) SOS Band on the other thread!

re that new Prins Thomas 'Wendy Not Walter' track: I'm pretty sure Waves At Night are actually streaming Duff Disco's 'Red Hot' which samples the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and not a new Prins Thomas track

This is a lot better than L&PT II on first listen, much more direct and less noodly. Wendy Not Walter is immense.
