idk the blondes record feels more like a grouping of refined jam sessions, more fluid and less deliberate in approach imo. which is not to say that they don't know what they're doing, i mean this in a respective sense
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 09:55 (twelve years ago) link
blondes appeal to me more because of sound design and mood, talabot because of melody and structure (build-and-release etc)

not my favorite thing he's ever done but this is pretty solid actually

was listening to fin on spotify today and was like "damn, this album is finally clicking with me!" when i realized i was already 4 sounds through the families ep :-\

ya, that's funny cause the families ep never really clicked with *me*
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 04:58 (twelve years ago) link

Adore this remix, as good as anything on the album I reckon:

Err... those remixes are just posted above, Tim!
But yes, they are both lovely.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 18 March 2012 17:52 (twelve years ago) link
haha I even scrolled up to check and somehow flew skipped right over them... Sorry for cluttering the thread.

despite the vocals, "journeys" is the track i find myself revisiting the most
― teledyldonix, Monday, 19 March 2012 07:28 (twelve years ago) link
I love the stutters that Talabot puts into the rhythms of tracks like that, there's a real carefree swing to them.
― Tim F, Monday, 19 March 2012 09:28 (twelve years ago) link
"matilda's dream" is incredible. made me cry.

It's a warm night in Brooklyn, and I have the windows wide open even though it's perhaps a little chilly for that kind of abandon. I've spent maybe five nights this entire month in NY, having been traveling a ton for work and spending five nights in Jamaica last week. I went a little crazy at Other Music today, and this record is now spinning on my turntable. Granted I'm a little drunk on a beautiful red Burgundy, but this is just AMAZINGLY lovely and delicious. It feels perfect for this exact moment, a sort of drunken wistfulness, the coolness of the air a little biting but the reality of open windows so sweet...

i have avoided hearing anything by that band because of their name for at least a year now. talabot why are you making me break this policy
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 March 2012 14:01 (twelve years ago) link
The band name alone is awful.
― MikoMcha, Saturday, 31 March 2012 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs are pretty good though. There's an excellent Joe Goddard mix of one of their tunes out there as well.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Sunday, 1 April 2012 11:07 (twelve years ago) link
yeah "tapes & money" is fantastic
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 April 2012 14:18 (twelve years ago) link
not so hot on the talabot remix tho
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 April 2012 14:29 (twelve years ago) link
that F3 "lonely land" remix is so incredible - the closing melody is just gorgeous. totally always play it b2b with his own "last land"
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Monday, 16 April 2012 09:27 (twelve years ago) link
Agreed, such beautiful rhythmic programming as well (which is also true of "Last Land" actually).

Cycled into work today, sunglasses on, "Missing You" on my iPod... A moment of bliss before the day's onslaught

Upcoming remixes from Pachanga Boys and Kenton Slash Demon (ie two members of When Saints Go Machine) that I am very excited to hear.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:11 (eleven years ago) link
Hammering "Leave me (Friendly Pattern version)" at the moment. I'd like to know if there is a non Friendly Pattern version, because I can't find one and I want more
