cover art is so ugly, and all his stuff has looked so good in the past.

mizzell, Thursday, 10 November 2011 12:36 (twelve years ago) link

I like both the picture and the font. The picture feels very early-to-mid-2000s for me, which is the era I've been nostalgic for lately.

This is so good, and Feb is so far away.

smash williams, Thursday, 10 November 2011 15:39 (twelve years ago) link

track is too nuts, its like dude took everything about him i enjoyed savoring and barfed it all over my face

that might change after a few listens tho i guess.

i love the cover art tho

⚓ (gr8080), Monday, 14 November 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link

yeah i don't like it one bit.

jed_, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

the rest of the album is pretty much in the same register. doesnt necessarily sound like de javu but its hella maximalist

max, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link

from Bach to Deep Purple, from Prog rock and arpeggiator disco to Acid House

p.r. description seems otm and not in a good way

dmr, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link

don't really like De Javu

dmr, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link

not into this track AT ALL.

oscar, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:51 (twelve years ago) link

the album isnt bad but its not really grabbing me the way his other stuff does... i should listen to it more but theres kinda too much going on, and the bad is mixed right in w/ the good

max, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:59 (twelve years ago) link

first track is 5 minutes of organ arpeggios

max, Monday, 14 November 2011 23:04 (twelve years ago) link

wait, is this album out there already?!??! if so, give me it.

DWARF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (jamescobo), Thursday, 17 November 2011 01:43 (twelve years ago) link

i am not sure about this album at all

all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 08:14 (twelve years ago) link

it's way maximalist and there are a billion things happening but i'm not getting a sense of what's underneath it

all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 08:15 (twelve years ago) link

i want it!

it's time for the purpculator (psychgawsple), Thursday, 17 November 2011 09:31 (twelve years ago) link

yeah lex--i keep listening to it and then not really remembering any of it. there are bits and pieces that grab me but...

max, Thursday, 17 November 2011 12:16 (twelve years ago) link

maybe you haven't actually heard it yet

the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Thursday, 17 November 2011 14:30 (twelve years ago) link

maybe it's one of these records you can never truly hear.

jed_, Thursday, 17 November 2011 15:17 (twelve years ago) link

one month passes...

I...don't think i like this album

Number None, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link

me neither. way too busy and "wacky."

dmr, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 19:48 (twelve years ago) link

wacky is the word

Number None, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link

well I like it enough for both of you guys and probably everyone else in the world

DWARF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (jamescobo), Saturday, 7 January 2012 02:59 (twelve years ago) link

I like it a lot. Definitely functionally different from his other stuff, and wild with the comb filtering on everything

gord downer (Ówen P.), Saturday, 7 January 2012 03:35 (twelve years ago) link

I don't hate this but it does seem a bit of a mis-step, especially the end of Magik and the first two minutes of Call Me Anytime.

listened to this for the first time today while shoveling my driveway. good snow shoveling music.

silverfish, Saturday, 14 January 2012 05:20 (twelve years ago) link

(usual grumble)

Is this actually out yet? Available to listen or purchase anywhere (legally)?

White Chocolate Cheesecake, Sunday, 15 January 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link

Liked it well enough on first listen. (I think it's still promo at this point.)

Wondered what happened to those dudes.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 16 January 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link

unfortunately that track is better than anything on the new Lindstrom album...

skip, Monday, 23 January 2012 05:27 (twelve years ago) link

anyone loves this? this ranks up there with lindstrom's best stuff:

i like blondes a lottt but idk if i see the connection to lindstrom rly

psychgawsple, Wednesday, 25 January 2012 04:53 (twelve years ago) link

busy + wacky = valid description tags.

result : not for me

as an aside : i really liked the 1st 120 days album (ltd edition with remixes by secret machines), so have high hopes for the new album ..

mark e, Thursday, 26 January 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago) link

this album is super fun

otm. don't get why ppl h8 this album.

I'm not sure about it really, it's fine when it's on but there's not much that's very compelling about it. Like he was seriously blocked or something at the time and compensated for a lack of ideas with a lot of swirly tricks.

Matt DC, Sunday, 29 January 2012 20:15 (twelve years ago) link

Best Coast remix is out. I kinda like it. He played it as the "finale" in his set at Santos last fall

dmr, Monday, 30 January 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link

upon reflection, i only really love "de javu" and "magic"

lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Monday, 30 January 2012 21:18 (twelve years ago) link

ok so Todd Rundgren has remixed a Lindstrom track.

owenf, Thursday, 2 February 2012 22:36 (twelve years ago) link

Pretty woah but i think i'd prefer the other way around

It's cool, but essentially this :/

I'm not going leftfield on you... (hypehat), Thursday, 2 February 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link

it does sound exactly how you would imagine it to. Maybe Rundgren will let him into some old multitracks in return.

owenf, Thursday, 2 February 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link

is there another version of that anywhere? my soundcard doesnt like however they put that in to flash :(

Ok, I'll bite in that obscenely late-to-the-party kind of way. Who has a Spotify playlist of these guys?

Naive Teen Idol, Friday, 3 February 2012 02:21 (twelve years ago) link

Whatever, did one myself:

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.
