The new one goes to an interesting place in the middle that I wish was the whole song. Metal seems an odd choice for him.

yeah, seriously, the last four tracks of The Incomplete Triangle achieve electropop perfection in a way I can't even begin to describe. they'd make one of the greatest EPs ever made

Jorge has teased some new L-D in the future on his twitter

oh shit they DID release it as an EP, except without 'Disenchanted' (p much their best song full stop) and with something called The First Response, which I'm listening to now. the tricksy bastards
― i'm elf-ein lusophonic (imago), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 14:47 (nine years ago) link
yeah Disenchanted is much, much better than this. why, L-D, why? it doesn't even matter
― i'm elf-ein lusophonic (imago), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 14:50 (nine years ago) link
Disenchanted is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years, it's a miracle imo
― imago, Monday, 1 September 2014 12:36 (nine years ago) link
it's like 80s pop, but 'taken to new levels', lol
― imago, Monday, 1 September 2014 12:37 (nine years ago) link
best thing is, it actually came out 11 years ago, whoops
Love this one :

Jorge Elbrecht produced and sounds it:

There's just enough of a bite from "Are Friends Electric?" in this to make me smile a lot when I hear it without ripping it off wholesale.

New Tamaryn album sounds kind of like mellow L-D with female vocals.
― calstars, Saturday, 29 August 2015 22:35 (eight years ago) link
Coral Cross increasingly hitting an L-D spot (for me anyway):

So the video is really just taken from the Garbage Pail Kids movie (I guess?). I had no idea. Not something I grew up with.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 3 October 2015 18:50 (eight years ago) link
it's a fine film.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 October 2015 18:52 (eight years ago) link
listening to the vinyl reissues. sound so cool. i love some of the fucked up production but there IS a part of me that wonders what it would have sounded like if they had had crazy money to make the incomplete triangle. the songs are so good. would have loved multiple freestyle mixes and edits of I.C.U.
― scott seward, Monday, 15 February 2016 20:58 (eight years ago) link
Agreed. Jorge is the man. From his Insta account, I think he just started work on the next No Joy album.
― calstars, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 02:07 (eight years ago) link
why didn't anyone tell me about 'Seaside'!? it's easily their best song and it's criminal that it was only ever released as a bonus track on the Sectioned Beam reissue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUelGLbAT3s
― small doug yule carnival club (unregistered), Friday, 15 April 2016 03:41 (eight years ago) link
Criminal but somehow fitting.
Have never heard this before but it sounds great so far.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 15 April 2016 04:37 (eight years ago) link
Maybe a little too much like Lansing-Dreiden doing a Lansing-Dreiden imitation, though that description sounds like something appealing as well.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 15 April 2016 04:49 (eight years ago) link
i never had the sectioned beam cd so when i got the vinyl i probably didn't know it was an added track. otherwise i would have told you.
― scott seward, Friday, 15 April 2016 12:37 (eight years ago) link
I worry about how many drugs Jorge Elbrecht is doing (but maybe that's all wrong).

That Ott review of this record is still infuriating. I love this album.

Jorge Elbrecht has a new album. It's very LD!
― kurt schwitterz, Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link
cool!

bumping cuz everyone should listen to this

ooh thanks for the tip

His trio of songs with Ariel pink a couple years ago are my favorite things of his

OK let's do this

Segue between first two tracks was so smooth I didn't notice it
Is this...prog?

i like this one from last year...

this could almost be an L-D track:

― scott seward, Friday, 9 March 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link
Those are bonus tracks on the Spotify version I think!
This album is quite something except for a lull 2/3 of the way through
― imago, Friday, 9 March 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
yeah, i would totally buy this cd. if there is a cd to buy.

some of the vocals can do that meandering thing that is less than memorable. but that's not a deal-breaker for me.
― scott seward, Friday, 9 March 2018 14:22 (six years ago) link
vinyl is already sold out. oh well.

can't believe i started this thread 14 years ago.
First two tracks, Guillotine and Rainbow Skies are my favourite so far

L-D always struck me as a really good way to plunder the 80s - by making it uncanny and intense. There's so much dull 80s plundering at the moment so it's nice Jorge has come back
― imago, Friday, 9 March 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link
none of the other 80s-apers had that kind of production that L-D had. it made their sound more mythical somehow. it was kinda fucked up sounding. half digital and half echo chamber.
― scott seward, Friday, 9 March 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link
yeah exactly. so uncanny. this album adds to it by subtly changing the songs as they progress. really interesting
― imago, Friday, 9 March 2018 15:20 (six years ago) link
'mythical' is a really good way to put it
― imago, Friday, 9 March 2018 15:21 (six years ago) link
omg That Will Slowly Unwind is amazing, why isn't it on the album proper
― imago, Friday, 9 March 2018 15:34 (six years ago) link
Oh I've worked out why I don't like Words Never Fail To Fail! It's a dead-on Blue Nile impression! I just listened to it while walking through London in the rain and my heart stirred not a whit. You'll all love it though. As a bonus, the next track is a fairly decent impression of Love Song by The Cure. Album's amazing apart from that
