everyone who is feeling the idjuts go to slsk and get dj harvey's "sarcastic disco" mix. he did it as a promo for an LA fashion label. it's great. while you're there pick up the "maddog chronicles" mix he did for freshjive to promote their tony alva documentary. it's more rock than disco but it hits that 70s stoner boogie vibe perfectly.
i wish maurice fulton was still rocking this style instead of noo-vaw no-wave nonsense. mutsumi = yoko.

what's up with PHANTOM SLASHER and MAJOR SWELLINGS?
i just picked up phantom slasher's "PUDDLE & SPOUT" lp for $5 and i really like it! is this an idjut boys side project? is it dj harvey? somebody else entirely?
how about major swellings? is that any good? is major swellings related to lindstrom / prins thomas?

it's like this: the tracks on the unmixed disc are *fantastic* but for some reason on the mixed disc the energy level seems lower than on the unmixed discs. not sure why that is ... a similar thing seemed to happen on "fistful of ferrets". somehow the idjuts managed to make DC sound tamer and milder than the earlier "death before distemper" volumes. and on "press play" also. are they mellowing with age?

Should be on my doorstep today... honestly though I don't know that on any of these 3-disc BBE things that I've ever preferred the mix disc to the unmixed ones, they always seem staged like a relatively perfunctory "bonus" rather than the focus of the package. I suspect that the "mixed by Idjut boys" thing might have been more of an afterthought marketing ploy than the original concept for the release (could be wrong)
― Bangelo, Thursday, 28 May 2009 18:55 (3 years ago) Permalink
a highly subjective "best of" mix just for the hell of it ... pardon the trainwreck or two and the excessive use of reverb and delay towards the end. my excuse is that it's only fitting for the subject matter.

“What we’ve tried to do is make an LP, four tracks a side on vinyl. You stick it on your stereo, have a cup of coffee and read the paper. When it’s finished you stick the other side on. So we’ve made an LP in the traditional way.”

my favorites is actually "life: the shoeing you deserve"
"more or less" is a 2cd comp w/ a mixed 2nd disc, that mixed 2nd disc was re-released in the US as "the u-star daze"
i would go with any of those, and then move on to puddle & spout, gruble, etc etc which tbf are basically i guess just elaborate re-edit comps

Since those early albums seem impossible to find at a reasonable price, I've got stuck into Press Play and Night Dubbin. Really enjoying the track selection on Press Play, but I feel like as a mix it kinda crashes with the cover of Word Up and doesn't really get itself back on track, like the section from there to the end should have been at the start to warm up instead. Night Dubbin is great though, I love the sense of dark queasiness hanging over it, and both mixes are so impressive with the way they eschew traditional beat-matching yet putting together transitions that seem to flow naturally.
