o_o

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

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 ..

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.

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

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

ok so Todd Rundgren has remixed a Lindstrom track.

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

It's cool, but essentially this :/

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

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?

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.

tbh, I think losing the vocals on "Magik" and "Quiet Place to Liev" would have dramatically improved this for me

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.

otm

if this whole project were a collab w/ mungolian jetset it would have the potential to be amazing, instead its just a goofy mess for most of it

anyone wanting newer 6 cups / mungolian jetset style wackiness that works should check out the todd terje mix of bjorn torske's "langt fra afrika".

Actually slightly disappointed by the new Lindstrøm album. Sounds a bit too "organic", almost as if Prins Thomas were involved actually...

is the other one listen-able anywhere?

i ended up buying the remix ep on itunes. stoked to hear the oridge verj.

oh god what have i become

yes 2 this track

Yeah love this new one. Back to the Cerrone magic.

Oh thank god!

Signs are good. Can't wait til I have left 1996 and am back on a computer with Flash again so I can listen to it.

yeah the new single is fucking fantastic

OK 30 seconds in, and Lindstrom has already got his thing back.

This is an immense, immense relief to me.

This single is awwwwesome.

I felt like I was the only one who liked "6 Cups"-- though I heard it did well in Italy

Part of me suspected that the enormous amount of comb-filtering put people off, made the whole thing sound like Youtube audio when played through laptop speakers

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.

But this is a return to form, and Mr Hans-Peter is cordially welcomed back to my vagina post haste.

That's a relief!

i liked it too. i don't think it was jokey at all. maybe a bit "difficult sophomore album" i guess. xp

To both of us, I'm sure ;-) x-post to Owen

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.

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.

Can I say something now and not get in shit for it?

::readies bucket of horse slop::

mmmmmmmaybe?

Oh I'm too embarrassed never mind

No, come on, out with it. ::hides horse bucket behind back::
