the other week I found a copy of their debut single for 50p. http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=1612344&ev=rb It'd probably be worth quite a bit if someone hadn't written in all of the numbered boxes on the sleeve.

to be fair the packaging on the new LP looks pretty elaborate and cool

Oh shit it's posted on this thread. I can't read.
Can't wait to hear the album. It got a lukewarm review in The Wire (not that I'm taking much more note of the review than that)

This album is great!!!

'relevee' (carl craig rmx) - deep house trappings + more aggro synth settings = this record.

Ditto. Is it out physically on Monday or just digitally?

or at least for the vinyl. not sure about the CD

Streaming on the Guardian. The comments were pretty much all abuse when I checked. Not that that's any indication.
― owenf, Wednesday, 4 September 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
just took a look at the comments and was expecting "what is this crap it's not music!" and instead got "this sucks, I only like their early stuff!" guess I underestimated the hipness quotient of the Guardian audience.
all the comments complaining that they bent too far toward a run-of-the-mill DFA sound are off base to me but I guess I could see it if you prefer their industrial side to their dancey side
― dmr, Wednesday, 4 September 2013 17:01 (ten years ago) link
So this thing's up on Spotify today, excellent so far imo.

weird, I guess they moved it up or something, I did end up doing the pre-order and in the email with the digital download it says the vinyl will ship later this week. on the webpage where they're selling it it still says it ships in October, haha. I've heard that getting vinyl pressed up in the U.S. is kind of a moving target nowadays as far as getting a solid date.

none of the singles worked for me entirely on their own but for some reason i'm really loving the album

Still don't think I ever heard anything by these guys but I guess I should now.
Also I want to know what electricsound's initial posts were about! Um, if he wants to share.

I listened to this once and wasn't quite feeling it but I probably shouldn't have listened immediately after the new NIN. Think I need to get into more of a Carl Craig mindset with it.
― Matt DC, Friday, 13 September 2013 09:55 (ten years ago) link
I love it. Don't understand the naysayers at all. Lots of fun.

worked from home this morning and took the opportunity to blast this really loud. it sounded dope.

So I can't really get my head round this band, but feel like I might not be listening to the right stuff or something... I'd certainly like to give em another go. Can anyone recommend a top 10 tracks?
― Pingu Unchained (dog latin), Friday, 1 November 2013 15:07 (ten years ago) link
I'd say listen to the album. They are harsh and industrial, the DFA thing but more experimental. I never not find "fall back" to be exhilarating tbh.
― subaltern 8 (Michael B), Friday, 1 November 2013 16:19 (ten years ago) link
What I've heard so far sounds like late-80s/early-90s industrial rave, a bit like Cabaret Voltaires but I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be much beyond that.
― Pingu Unchained (dog latin), Friday, 1 November 2013 16:40 (ten years ago) link
Go and see them live. They're probably pound for pound the best consistently good live band I've ever seen. Certainly at the dancier end of things that's true... it's impossible to make a reasonable comparison to, say, Public Enemy or SunnO))) for example.
― Doran, Friday, 1 November 2013 22:30 (ten years ago) link
I like the FF record ok, but MAN I like the Carter Tutti Void one a bit more. What a classic.

This is certainly a difficult record but it's winning me over. The singer was in KaitO, a real good guitar band from about 10 years ago.
― kornrulez6969, Sunday, 3 November 2013 14:27 (ten years ago) link
I don't know, I tried with this but I think they're really boring. Just flat, one dimensional, seemingly using a lot of presets. To say it quickly runs out of steam would be an understatement. They barely seem to be trying by the end of the album.
― Position Position, Sunday, 3 November 2013 14:30 (ten years ago) link
this album is probably good in some way

The new Gabe Gurnsey album Diablo is wonderful, from what I've heard so far. Definitely the houseier side of the Factory Floor sound. Lead single Push is a banger.
― The Ghost Club, Monday, 10 October 2022 05:17 (one year ago) link
Agree! It feels like New Order/Cabs comfort food, pretty similar to what LoneLady has been doing. The previous one was good, this one is better though I can't decide if I like the vocals or not.
