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?!

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!

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.

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.

SORRY BAD RECOMMENDATIONS

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.

PT s/t is pretty good on first listen. I'll tread gingerly around the Krautrock comparisons as I'm no expert, but I do hear a lot of Neu! in a couple of tracks. Closer to L&PT II than Major Swellings sound-wise (well, duh) but I can see myself coming back to this more often than I will to II. "Wendy Not Walter" is lovely.
― Jeff W, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 10:33 (5 months ago) Permalink
"Nattønsket" is my jam. Great album. I've totally come around to II in the last couple of months. In the wrong mood it's oodledoodle but when I'm a bit strung out it's a soothing listen.

Oh, you.
Does iTunes do presale? Because it looks like it's going to let me buy it buy I don't want to click confirm and pay my money until I know I'll have it.
However, the Time & Space Machine album, which I know *is* out this week, is nowhere to be seen. CONFUSEMENT.

Oh. It is actually downloading now. I kept thinking they were gonna yank the MP3s away from me at the last minute.

I have to go to Rough Trade to get the TASM album, though, as I want that bonus disc coz Richard Norris's mixes are always so amazing.

liked the PT on first listen but it didn't wow me. neu! comparison is otm, but from a production standpoint, I actually kept thinking about solo michael rother while listening cuz the PT album is such a smooth take on the krautrock sound.
have to listen more, obviously.
and I loved L&PT II from my very first listen fwiw.

diskjokke and bjorn torske are both kinda underrated imo
also, xp- pt's drum sound has never really done it for me, either. i love nearly all of his albums, and the new one may very well be his best, but his drumming is probably the worst thing about it. are they just mic'd poorly? or is it because he's playing relatively loose for the tight, motorik-style aesthetic he seems to be going for?

― kill whiney (cutty), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:57 (4 months ago) Permalink
^ don't get me wrong. i think the sound is deliberate. and they obviously do soooomething for the overall vibe of his albums. but sometimes the looseness also feels like... idk, a struggle? like he's trying to play catch up to the rest of the proceedings, and sometimes it's the most chaotic part of the whole sound. and that's not usually what i want when i listen to blissed-out stonery proggy kraut-influenced jams
