I haven't listened to it in a little while but I listened to it way more than five times before I took a break from it
Same here.

ditto. i feel another talabot phase coming on, actually

seeing him DJ in a few weeks, very excited
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
feel like this album is very prime Autumn vibes

He's a good live DJ.

oncoming autumn vibes but while the light and heat of summer are still in the air, is what i'm thinking
― lex pretend, Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:08 (eleven years ago) link
also the remix is excellent obv, and i say this as someone who found the chairlift original super boring
― lex pretend, Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:09 (eleven years ago) link
i was going to see john talabot until the xx album came out and was boring (they are touring together)
― teledyldonix, Saturday, 15 September 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
anyone know if there's an unofficial comp of his remixes/pre-fin stuff anywhere
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 September 2012 23:19 (eleven years ago) link
shit club music
funny, the criticism i would've made is that it's a hair's breadth from not being club music at all, it's coffee-table house
― hot slag (lukas), Sunday, 16 September 2012 00:48 (eleven years ago) link
i think that's why i like it
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 September 2012 00:54 (eleven years ago) link
At this point criticising stuff as coffee-table house seems a bit pointless, all of us have coffee-table house skeletons in our closet.
― Tim F, Sunday, 16 September 2012 04:13 (eleven years ago) link
I love his stuff! I'm getting older, you know.
― hot slag (lukas), Sunday, 16 September 2012 05:50 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I prefer "shit club music" to "coffee table house" as a criticism anyway!
My question about how much people listened to this wasn't just a rhetorical attack btw, I just genuinely have got no real further joy from it, beyond the first week. I am settling on the idea that I need physicality to house music or it doesn't really work for me, a lot of my buzz with it is connected to exercise lately!
But I feel like I hear better stuff in this vein on Beats In Space all the time.
Good dj tho I agree.

seeing him tonight as support for xx in a carling academy style venue. has anyone seen him play this kind of show? what to expect? also, how do you pronounce his name? "talabow"?

His live set was nice, basically the album with a different track list. Him and Pional standing behind keyboards, triggering stuff and singing. I'm probably underrating it but I'm comparing it to seeing him dj, which was the best set I've heard all year.
― hot slag (lukas), Friday, 30 November 2012 18:09 (eleven years ago) link
er, "the album with a different track order"
yeah that was basically it. sounded great, but struggled a bit with the crowd tbh via insane suburban venue (~5k capacity, and licensing meant his set began at 8pm)

John Talabot
Feeling this Peaking Lights remix.

Mixing the next DJ Kicks album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efjc1OoH8Qc
― groovypanda, Thursday, 5 September 2013 13:50 (ten years ago) link
So...
This DJ Kicks mix is urgent and key. It's dark and moody, intense and 'humid' atmospherics, but still with his sensibilities for big hooks and melodies. Apparently the selection is "not for clubs," but I would happily dance to this all night. It is absolutely my shit right now.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 30 October 2013 17:54 (ten years ago) link
Mines a similar vein as Immer 2 imo, especially that selection towards the end with SCSI-9, Jesse Somfay and the Sten Remix, but does so much more dynamically and vividly. 27 tracks as well, it's super-detailed in a good way.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 30 October 2013 18:02 (ten years ago) link
cosign, it's lovely
the moment "old song" drops >>>>>>>>>
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 30 October 2013 22:04 (ten years ago) link
Mix of the year IMO.

this is awful in my view, apart from "old song" and one or two other tracks. just really clunky portentous trance.

I think it's pretty great, though maybe too long? Miko otm about it being dark and moody, qualities which I know a lot of people didn't like about Fin
― rob, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 16:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's more like balearic for post-ww4 radioactive nuclear fallout parched wasteland ibiza
thought it was a pretty awesome thing myself, albeit admittedly partly in the disquieting fearful sense of awe
did put it on for a night bus journey the other week and tbh it was just too intense man i was freaking out
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 20:17 (ten years ago) link
Yeah that feels right, esp. "Escape From Detroit".
Interesting to see who's coming down where on this one.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
i'd guess its eyerolls are probably much like when a daaaaark outlier spin-off of a beloved genre of mine gets hipster kisses out of the blue
to that i would respond yeah lol sozzles but talabot does weave a deeply rich and skilful tapestry here
