ok well im super drunk right now after playing bass in an awesome metal show and i have a hot chick waiting for me in my bed so ill say this:
fuck tom and his nu style of banning whatever he wants whenever he wants (sans admin log)
hey.. if i was a dude in his 30's, post failed marriage from an ilx chick, in a dead end job that never got laid, and had barely any irl friends i would love anonymously modding ilx too...
basically: this is the only thing dude has control of in his life.
even when he gets drunk he spends his time modding ilx. kinda sad. fine.
you can say 6000 registered ilxors were good today but one of them that was actually totally cool, brought the lols and was a solid dude got banned for no reason was enough for me to say "fuck this shit"
tom millar obviously loves the "this is the thread where i say" style of pussy ass bullshit posts that make ilx terrible. just see idiot thread board for that bullshit. its basically the same 4 ilxors talking about their bullshit lives that no one asked about plus tom telling us how wasted he is.
its like an episode of sex in the city with tom and ned adding in there 2 cents once in a while. wow what bunch of lols.
im not one to make a big post about leaving but fuck this shit. for reals. im leaving for gershy who is a real bro and "GOD FORBID!!!!" bumped threads that already existed....
this board is now just a bunch of rich college kids and dumb fat bitches (lets get real.... even the actual rock stars that post here are academic morons.) that wanna talk about the politics of messenger bags and facebook profiles. obviously tom wanted this. you can tell by his "dudes im totally wasted!" posts all over the dumb ass molify lingbert thread. so hay! you got what you wanted, tom!
i hope your life of never getting laid by anyone other than ally and being stuck in a dead end job is finally giving you what you wanted in life. everyone hates you btw. but hey as long as you rule who gives a fuck right?

I like this album, like a cross between Air, Berlin-era Bowie and some synth pop. And "Into The Galaxy" is a perfect pop song.
― zeus, Friday, 13 June 2008 11:13 (fifteen years ago) link
no such thing.
I heard "Dystopia" on the radio the other night and it sounded like Fields of the Nephilim being drowned in a fishtank filled with Jeyes fluid.

i thought this album was decent when i first heard it, then i saw them live and re-assessments had to be made.
― oscar, Sunday, 15 June 2008 02:15 (fifteen years ago) link
They're decent I guess, although the guy's vocals get annoying and the album lacks variety (I rarely want to listen to it). Hopefully they'll develop more with the next record.
― __CB__, Sunday, 15 June 2008 03:41 (fifteen years ago) link
although the guy's vocals get annoying and the album lacks variety
also true of In Ghost Colours and maybe Apocalypso too. a few great tracks on all three albums tho.

I am going to be seeing them by accident on Saturday. (I think?)
Will I hate them, or will they amuse me like microprog?
― C M Y Kate (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 8 October 2008 14:44 (fifteen years ago) link
OH YES!!!! DISCOPROG!!!! I LOVED THEM!!!!!!
Their drummer is an animal. I can't believe he was standing on Ross's drumkit. I'd have been tearing my hair out.
It is totally epic.
― post-apocalyptic time jazz (Masonic Boom), Sunday, 12 October 2008 03:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I finally got around to getting the album (though I had to have someone in Rough Trade show me where it was - there are separate "electo" and "electonica" sections - who knew?) and it's making me happy indeed.
It's not quite as ... FULL ON as they are live, but still progalicious.
I'm going to ask for help - obviously I know what in the world of Prog they're musically namechecking, but what else in the world of dance (Daft Punk aside) sounds like this? Where are these things coming from? I know so little about that side of things.
― post-apocalyptic time jazz (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 1 November 2008 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link
I think it's Tombstone that's my fave. That was the one that was so utterly fucking epic with drum-kit standing episodes live.
― post-apocalyptic time jazz (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 1 November 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Love that track but the lyrics to "Tombstone" are so unbelievably bad that I keep knocking this album down my best albums of 2008 list.

I am finding it hard to believe I was ever this enthusiastic about this band. The album really didn't do it for me, and I stopped keeping track of what they did afterward. Those singles are still fun, though.

every time I listen to the Crystal Axis I like it more, and I listen to it a LOT. my favorite song will probably always be "Fade to Red" but really there's not a song on here I don't like. gorgeous vinyl pressing too.
― http://soundcloud.com/dubstep/dubstep-believe-it (jamescobo), Tuesday, 9 August 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
It's ace. In 2014, when a particularly annoying and chart-happy single of theirs is chronically over-played and gives everyone the shits, The Crystal Axis will be unearthed and finally get the recognition it deserves.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 00:13 (twelve years ago) link
A few weeks ago, they released this Soviet-inspired video on youtube with Russian text to, I guess, see if anyone anywhere would find it. Someone did, and they copped to it earlier this week. Pretty cool new track imo.

definitely a great album, but i'm not enjoying it as much as the crystal axis (which is unfair considering how great that was). obv i'll be giving it plenty of time to grow. highlights:
- ballad of the war machine (obv; incredible)- memorium (the new single, catchy as hell)- streets of babylon (possibly the best track as it is, but i would LOVE to hear a 7–8 min version)- melodiya
sadly this will sink like a stone because it's the midnight juggernauts
― Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 16 June 2013 08:05 (ten years ago) link
being released on the same date as the new empire of the sun will bury it even deeper, but that's also a pretty good album so
― Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 16 June 2013 08:09 (ten years ago) link
every time I listen to the Crystal Axis I like it more,
in answer to the premise of the thread : yes me.
not heard any of the new stuff, but damn, this week i am loving the crystal axis so much.
classic big production synth pop brilliance.
'time' era elo never sounded so upfront.
this album hits so many of my sweet spots ..

― a duiving caTCH, a stuolllen bayeeeess (jamescobo), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 23:48 (ten years ago) link
Agreed! Which makes me wonder why everyone continues to not care about this band.
― vmajestic, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 00:06 (ten years ago) link
I'm guessing because it leaked about three months before release, meaning everyone who would have bought a copy just DLed it instead.
cosigned on astonishment @ the sustained collective apathy towards this band; they're fucking phenomenal. at this point I think Crystal Axis + Uncanny Valley is a better one-two album combo than In Ghost Colours + Zonoscope, although IGC is probably the best album of the 4 listed.
― a duiving caTCH, a stuolllen bayeeeess (jamescobo), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
what I really can't figure out is why they haven't put the new album on Spotify yet. at this point just monetize it however you can, y'know?
― a duiving caTCH, a stuolllen bayeeeess (jamescobo), Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:27 (ten years ago) link
Just seems to be a bad setup all around. This band may quite possibly have one of the more tuneful rock/electronic/dance hybrids going, too.
