Lansing-Dreiden-The Incomplete Triangle:Album Of The Year?

yeah Disenchanted is much, much better than this. why, L-D, why? it doesn't even matter

Disenchanted is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years, it's a miracle imo

it's like 80s pop, but 'taken to new levels', lol

best thing is, it actually came out 11 years ago, whoops

Love this one :

Jorge Elbrecht produced and sounds it:

(I just learned his name, actually.)

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.

Coral Cross increasingly hitting an L-D spot (for me anyway):

Oh damn. I am a failure at cut and paste as well as everything else.

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.

it's a fine film.

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.

Agreed. Jorge is the man. From his Insta account, I think he just started work on the next No Joy album.

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

Criminal but somehow fitting.

Have never heard this before but it sounds great so far.

Maybe a little too much like Lansing-Dreiden doing a Lansing-Dreiden imitation, though that description sounds like something appealing as well.

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.

I worry about how many drugs Jorge Elbrecht is doing (but maybe that's all wrong).

That dude used to be a manager at the Oyster Bar

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

Jorge Elbrecht has a new album. It's very LD!

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:

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

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.

vinyl is already sold out. oh well.

i like the section 25 female vox on this:

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

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.

yeah exactly. so uncanny. this album adds to it by subtly changing the songs as they progress. really interesting

'mythical' is a really good way to put it

omg That Will Slowly Unwind is amazing, why isn't it on the album proper

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

I guess WNFTF has some nice XTC harmonies in amongst the sheer Paul Buchanan-ness of it all, at least

i sent him a FB friend request. i want to ask him about the possibility of a CD release. with a bonus disc. i'm not a big online listener. i wonder how many records he pressed? probably not a lot.

i wonder if i would dig the Violens stuff more now. i'll bet i would. i just listened to this one and it reminded me of cass mccombs!

I quite like WNFTF now ffs
