he's got a nice voice overall but he's kind of like the waterboys guy in that he slips back and forth through blatant imitation of other vocalists (smith, shaun ryder, bernard sumner..)
― winston, Monday, 20 October 2008 04:37 (4 years ago) Permalink
but in general that kind of behavior doesn't really bother me if the music's really good.
― winston, Monday, 20 October 2008 04:38 (4 years ago) Permalink
i think he's actually better than sumner

i know but the point is it doesn't stop loads of New Order songs being awesome.

infinitely preferable to whichever dude does the vocals for the Tough Alliance, with those plaintive qualities taken about ten notches up.

;_; I wuv TTA's vocals.
― Tim F, Monday, 20 October 2008 13:06 (4 years ago) Permalink
aw. well, different opinions and so on...
TTA's music is pretty and lots of fun, I just keep picturing the vocalist as a Swedish Tom DeLonge.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Monday, 20 October 2008 13:23 (4 years ago) Permalink
I like to think it's actually both of them singing and they just have identical voices. They seem to alternate miming duties in their video clips at any rate.

i think Tough Alliance featuring Dr Alban is my fantasy pop of the week
― Annoying Display Name (blueski), Monday, 20 October 2008 13:30 (4 years ago) Permalink
Ha ha I am fantasizing about that now too Steve. That sort of idea is what facebook groups are for.
― Tim F, Monday, 20 October 2008 13:49 (4 years ago) Permalink
I would take Prydz ft. Alban at this point to be honest
― Annoying Display Name (blueski), Monday, 20 October 2008 13:50 (4 years ago) Permalink
don't think it's the vocals with studio as much as maybe lines like "is it because we have tropical needs", which feels too close to pastiche to me. Not enough to ruin the songs or anything, I still love the whole thing. I can see arguments against, though.
― Gukbe, Monday, 20 October 2008 13:55 (4 years ago) Permalink
I've always been to O_o at those lyrics to consider whether they might be pastiche: "Is it because we are a likable breed? Is it because we've got tropical needs?"

Known for their Balearic rock edits on their own imprint, Parlour are now set to do a mix for Information that consists only of rare and unreleased tracks from their long-time friends Frak.
Frak were present on the Swedish experimental synth scene throughout the late '80s and early '90s, and released a swathe of material. Most of this only saw the light of day on cassette, with the group bridging out to vinyl in the later stages of their career. Parlour have had a long-term connection to Börft, who released Frak's work originally, and are set to compile some of the rarer cassette-only material as a mix on Studio's Information label.
Parlour have spent hours going through all of the old Frak tapes, and have compiled the highlights into a continuous 57 minute mix that spans new beat, acid house and more minimal synth workouts. Spotters might be unhappy that no tracklisting will be contained, but with Frak anonymity was certainly part of the point and the compilation serves as a great introduction to their cassette-only material from 1988-1992.
Tracklist01. 57.30
Information release Frak - 88-92 Extended Tempo Mix by Parlour on 17th November.

^this sounds like an elaborate prank, but i guess it's real.

wow i didn't know parlour was connected to information/studio in any way. the "amor/capriccio" 7" was prettty awesome, can't wait to see what they do with synth wave tracks!

the D. Lissvik album is great, been really groovin on it the past couple days. obviously from the clip there's lots of 'eastern' influences and a few tracks that sound remarkably like Studio but most of it is a bit more exploratory/spacious than the Studio material.

Why doesn't anyone else think "Origin" is super awesome?
― billstevejim, Monday, 24 November 2008 05:14 (4 years ago) Permalink
"Origin is a "throwaway" piece (well, when you compare its 2 minutes to "Out There"'s 16 minute extravagance) that is nonetheless totally compelling, buzzy rock bass stomp topped by spiderweb guitar and a storm of echoey effects - elegantly dirty, and sounding nothing like the tracks which precede it.― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, January 27, 2007 6:01 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark
