Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

Thought these guys deserved their own thread, there seems to be only a little discussion of them here.

So who else is really feeling these guys lately? "I Feel Space" seems to only be the tip of the iceberg, like Primal Scream's "Loaded", pre-Screamadelica. Between the new album on Eskimo, the "Tribulations" remix and the new Six Cups of Rebel (Lindstrom), dudes are killin it. i'm listening to Six Cups now and the willingness to just let it go plus the production, the instrumentation are so freeing to me. The album sounds like a disco-fied Neu! at times and this whole krautrock vibe is a direction i would love to see this going in. I find myself more than willing to go where they're taking me. Further blowing me away is the PT remix of Mental Overdrive's "Diskodans" on Smalltown Supersound (which needs to be released on vinyl right now, god damn it) - mindblowing 9 minute uptempo mix, just filthy with effects - and Lindstrom's "Plague the Kid II" on Bear Entertainment.

Now I've heard Lindstrom's previous work under the Slow Supreme moniker, and i've enjoyed and even spun out a couple of his tracks. but this, this is different.

who's wit me?!

I've only heard "I Feel Space", but it's my favorite house track in months.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:35 (4 years ago) Permalink

what's the deal with the new album on eskimo? i remember hearing about it a few months ago, but nothing more. but everything else i've heard by them is indeed the shit. "there's a drink in my bedroom and i need a hot lady" especially.

Lindstrom/Prins Thomas remix of Juan Maclean 'Tito's Way' is awesome in a Disco-Prog kind of way.

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:57 (4 years ago) Permalink

their remixes of Chicken Lips "Sweet Cow" and the Freeform Five's "Electromagnetic" are very good too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:57 (4 years ago) Permalink

Album comes out 14 November. Faves so far:

1 Lindstrøm - "Paaskelyd"
2 Lindstrøm - "Er Bestemor Paa Moten"
3 Blackbelt Andersen Vs Prins Thomas - "Juling i Ringen"
4 Lindstrøm - "Drums of Life"
5 Lindstrøm - "I Feel Space"

I'm not norwegian but I think this is what the titles are in english:
1.Paaskelyd = Eastersounds
2.Er Bestemor Paa Moten = Is grandmother at a meeting
3.Juling i Ringen = Doing cartwheels in the ring

Lindbaek And Lindstrom: Alien In My Pocket is one of my favorites. I had no idea there was an album in the works, I can't wait to hear it.

― jeffery (jeffery), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:12 (4 years ago) Permalink

the album is fantastic, if not as uptempo and fully dancefloor as, say, Thomas' Major Swellings album that was released recently on Noid with the Idjut Boys. Listened to as a whole, it's a superb trip through a more laidback vibe. loving loving loving it. it's due out within another month or so - i got solicited on it maybe a month ago and that was way way in advance. question for someone more knowledgeable: is this the same album that was released in japan earlier in the year?

if the tribulations remix link is still active in the most recent YSI thread, go download it immediately. the bit in the middle where the distorted vocal starts stuttering and then the beat drops underneath is fucking devastating.

i hope there are plans to repress bits and pieces like 'alien in my pocket' because i NEED them. i'm in full lindstrom obsession mode at this point!

think alot of the records got repressed heywood, at least we got alot of the older feedelity stuff back in on vinyl, I've not seen "alien in my pocket" yet though.

i just found them through their set on Beats-In-Space - which is great. and their own tracks seem really elegant yet meaty too.

m.a.n.d.y. remix of "i feel space" out this week!

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 17:18 (4 years ago) Permalink

i should say the tracks they've remixed instead of "their own tracks". i don't think i've heard any of their original stuff. from their set, the remix of Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4 is super.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 17:55 (4 years ago) Permalink

This album is amazing!

I'm not really in the loop with this genre. What would you call it? Trip-house? It's crazy. What else would one check out if they really like this?

For frame of reference, I've also really enjoyed the Isolee record and the Vitalic. I checked all three of these out based on ILM threads.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 18:22 (4 years ago) Permalink

check out some Reverso 68, not exactly precisely the same but on a similar tip. "Piece Together" and their remixes of Juan Maclean "Tito's Way" and Bent "Coming Back" in particular.

Yeah Willem I bought it recently. The Lindstrom mix is a bit Love Boat disco party as opposed to their usual stuff but the Linus Loves one is really nice.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 20:26 (4 years ago) Permalink

idjut boys!! chicken lips!!

maurice fulton - yes, but not MU, you should start w/ "life is water for gerbadaisies..." (recorded as "maurice fulton presents boof") and the album recorded as "maurice fulton presents stress"). also maurice's remixes.

possibly the earlier faze action ... anything before moving cities, really. also look for ray mang's work.

some of the artists on bunker and creme. a lot of it is lo-fi techno, so you sort of have to pick and choose but there's quite a bit of loose-limbed italo funk in there.

the trentemoller i've heard (a lot) is nothing like lindstrom and prins thomas though unless i'm missing some really specific track...naked music style house is really the other side of the divide here i think.

yeah, i think tricky is right. i was making recommends based on the singles / compilation tracks i've heard ... just slsked some of the album and it's MUCH more downtempo than i was expecting.

SORRY BAD RECOMMENDATIONS

(ok they are recommendations for GOOD music but not really in the same vein as lindstrom)

been dying to hear that E2-E4 mix -- they've done a full-length version haven't they?

e2-e4 is the last track of their July 14th guest dj session on Beats-in-Space...can't remember how much they play/don't know the original...so...but what's there is really really nice. thx for the ysi link.

I'll take sueno latino instead!

but in this topic...I hadn't heard emperor machine untill the recent simian mobile disco mix. I like that a lot.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:16 (4 years ago) Permalink

God, there's a mix of "Sueno Latino" I've never found on CD that's the same as most of the original mixes but has this electric guitar solo in the middle of it that just sounds incredible (and still Mediterranean).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:19 (4 years ago) Permalink

Emperor Machine "Bloody Hell" is my favourite of theirs.

Also check out Padded Cell on Suicide Recordings, they've done a few remixes here and there too. Very good stuff.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 1 September 2005 21:21 (4 years ago) Permalink

the lindstrom / prins tomas lp on eskimo is very down tempo / jazz funk. i think they felt it should be an albu for listening to rather than a set of club tracks.

lindstrom tends to have two sides to his sound - the tripped out space disco and the noodly muso side. the 'i feel space' 12' demonstrates this to a t (which incidentally he recorded four years ago).

he has a forthcoming 12' coming called 'serious syntoms' which is the rawest thing he's ever done. endlessly repeating, slighty modulating moog bassline, live snare and hi hat and a bit of arp synth. sounds like it was recorded live in one take. mega.

i spent a very drunken night out with prins thomas recently and i get the impressiont that what we have heard so far is only the tip of the iceberg. mad, as they both have families and other jobs to keep them busy too.

out this week: "i feel space" m.a.n.d.y. remix on playhouse
and lindstrom & prins thomas remixes (vocal and instrumental) of silver city on 20/20 vision...

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:10 (4 years ago) Permalink

i listened to (what i think is) the e2-e4 section again last nite from the set...its hard to say where it begins or ends - I think he's weaving other songs in and out - or perhaps its just a short snippet.

anyway, "Call Me Mr. Telephone"-- is awesome if folks haven't heard. They seems to be heavily influenced by 70's rock but not in a gimmicky way??? he goes kinda fleetwood mac in the middle of that song but its totally nice.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 2 September 2005 16:35 (4 years ago) Permalink

i'm not much of a fan of that m.a.n.d.y. remix. although that's probably because the original is so amazing.
