From the B-side of his recent "Ragysh" 12"... This is really pretty freaking amazing.

amazing track ! everyone i've played it for loves it. there is a beatless version not on the vinyl floating around digitally. A-side is huge as well, been playing it at my club night a lot.

Oh for sure, the A-side is totally immaculate as well and I love it. His synths just sound so ridiculously good, so tactile.

― EDB, Friday, 3 June 2011 16:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
if any 12 this year deserves it's own thread it's this one. both 'ragysh' and 'snooze 4 love' almost clinical in their perfection. 'bonysh' popped up on my ipod the other day and sounded like a great club tool also.

so what sound is this reinterpreting? i'm guessing early warp? lfo, black dog, etc? what else should i look for new and old that's like this?
― jaxon, Saturday, 4 June 2011 23:58 (1 year ago) Permalink
this doesn't sound like early LFO to me at all. this sounds so clean and so much less ravey. it's very pretty though. reminds me a bit of 'dinamo' by nathan fake
― geeta, Sunday, 5 June 2011 03:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
this is way more nu disco ish to me
― lebroner (D-40), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
than warp i mean
what nu disco sounds like this tho? maybe it's just that particular type of synthesizer that's coding as something different for me, but it does seems a lot less immediate than most nu disco
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
i guess it reminds me a bit of the dfa remix of "rise" by delia & gavin (not sure if that's nu disco either tho)
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Sunday, 5 June 2011 08:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
what i was saying was more of a question than a statement. i want to know what sound the main synth line (not the rhythms) is referencing. to me, this and oar3b seem like they're trying to sound like early warp or early detroit stuff, but i don't know those things that well to know.
― jaxon, Sunday, 5 June 2011 21:36 (1 year ago) Permalink
Oar3b is much more warp-y, specifically Black Dog. With this one the similarity is there but more like B12 in the melodies, i think.
― jed_, Sunday, 5 June 2011 21:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
snooze is quite b-12y, that is, Ragyish is more like Lindstrom than anything else although there's maybe a little Jedi Knights in there.
― jed_, Sunday, 5 June 2011 21:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
IDGI, this sounds like pretty straight-down-the-line nu-balearic to me, albeit perfectly executed and very lovely indeed.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:19 (1 year ago) Permalink
it sort of reminds me of stuff by Lawrence, a bit? somewhere between the autumn-evening-calm of 'somebody told me' and the endless bubbles of the superpitcher rmx of 'along the wire'.
― d(▽＿▽)b (c sharp major), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
A Superpitcher remix of Snoove 4 Love would be amazing actually, kinda thinking in the style of his Iridum remix.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's driving me crazy how the portamento only kicks in on the top 2 notes of the arpeggio. Or maybe he's just put the two notes really close together and not quantized them. But it's a sound that is both jarring and yet slightly exciting, like, I listen out for it every time to see if I can work it out. Manages to be both expected and unexpected. Clever.

Oh this is nice. Thanks y'all for keeping this bumped until I finally got around to listening.
― Spo-Dee-O-Dee-Dopaliscious! (The Reverend), Monday, 6 June 2011 09:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
That's my favourite thing about it - I think it's intended as more of an acciaccatura, but it's really evocative.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
afaict that is what I know as a "grace note"?

What language are you all suddenly speaking.
― Tim F, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
They're just ever so slightly too *off* to be proper grace notes, but it's the slight off-ness of them that makes them such ear candy. And I miss them when the song settles down to its cosmic juggernaut groove, and it's so exciting when they pop back up mid kosmische groove. So more-ish.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
Ha ha, we need Owen in here to explain the proper difference between grace notes, acciaccaturas and appoggiaturae.
I'm still trying to work out if there's a portamento or not. it's delicious.
― Karen D. Tregaskin, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
Grace note is kinda the umbrella term, I just wanted to write "acciaccatura" because it's such a pleasing word.
― Matt DC, Monday, 6 June 2011 09:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
i only REALLY understood it when i danced to it at a party. and only when i couldn't put my finger on what it 'is' (trainspotting as self defense etc), i realized this is a proper unclassic dance anthem (of 'knights of the jaguar' proportions), but in EXTREME slow motion. it's totally fucking with temporality, i think. it's almost like it has managed to exist only through creating a loophole through time, escaping a nanosecond before the canon of the dance has completely closed.
on this note, let's recall terje's 'eurodans' -- which compared to this sounds a bit amateurish, but still unabashedly euphoric. it produced one of my favorite youtube moments, which still sends immediate party shivers down my spine (00:36):

I asked this years ago and nobody responded. :(
I was actually thinking about this yesterday and: Because the Swedish Google translator voice says "tear-yeh," combined with the fact that his track "Terjelator" goes "it's time for the tear-yeh-lator" has led me to conclude this is the correct pronunciation.

It was called Bodies! It was terrible! Well, the a capella they quietly released later was a bit better, but overall.
Robbie works with some good producers and then does terrible things with them. I don't understand.

i remember him doing stuff with ~dance~ producers for Rudebox (well, mostly i remember one soulwax remix. but that was his dance album, no?) but i thought he got burned by that and went back to the reassuring embrace of Trevor Horn?
― v for viennetta (c sharp major), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 13:35 (8 months ago) Permalink
Nope, my memory has not failed, this was a thing, and it happened.
― my god it's full of straw (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Tuesday, 4 September 2012 13:38 (8 months ago) Permalink
That's a remix though, that's different to him actually taking an existing Aeroplane/Terje track and singing over it.

yeah they just farm those out at that level, don't they? i wouldn't be surprised if robbie williams had never even heard that.

Having checked I think it was produced by Trevor Horn, so Aeroplane didn't have anything to do with the original.

looks like it barely got promoed and not released, he v probably hasn't
Horn did the next one but it was their first collab - the one before Rudebox had been completely co-written and produced by Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy, everything before that was The Guy Chambers Era
(Horn and Robbie SOUNDS like a fantastic idea but I never heard a note until clicking that youtube, presumably it sucked)
Orbit and Ronson and Joey Negro and PSB did various tracks on Rudebox, most of it was by "Soul Mekanik" (it says here)
