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.
― 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:

otm. don't get why ppl h8 this album.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Friday, 27 January 2012
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
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
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".
― akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 04:25 (twelve years ago) link
Actually slightly disappointed by the new Lindstrøm album. Sounds a bit too "organic", almost as if Prins Thomas were involved actually...

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.
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 09:55 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the new single is fucking fantastic
― heiswagger (rennavate), Friday, 10 August 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
OK 30 seconds in, and Lindstrom has already got his thing back.
This is an immense, immense relief to me.
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
This single is awwwwesome.
I felt like I was the only one who liked "6 Cups"-- though I heard it did well in Italy
― Ówen P., Friday, 10 August 2012 17:52 (eleven years ago) link
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
― Ówen P., Friday, 10 August 2012 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 17:55 (eleven years ago) link
That's a relief!
― Ówen P., Friday, 10 August 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
i liked it too. i don't think it was jokey at all. maybe a bit "difficult sophomore album" i guess. xp
― turtwig greenturty (Matt P), Friday, 10 August 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
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.

ach ffffuck it. I have a white label remix of a Lindstrom track coming out next week. Judge away, it's my first one, like, the first time I've got up the nerve to put out any techno music.

This is going to be super-awesome amazing (and I would say that without the ILX connection) and I am so excited to hear it!
― Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link
Well, I'm proud of it as a first effort (otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it) but it's not gonna raise the wigs of any techno hardheads. Thanks guys you're sweet.

Love Lindstrom and Prins Thomas together. Lindstrom & Todd Terje is not too shabby either.
