Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

it was the perfect soundtrack to my stressful workweek; simultaniously motivational & relaxing

^I totally get that.
Got III this weekend. Played it at the end of the afternoon, sitting on the balcony with my gf, enjoying a couple of good beers, it felt like the best album ever.
(On a minor sidenote, I feel Thomas deserves his own thread but there's probably too little interest to warrant a separate one)

PT was on Beats In Space this week:

I played Cosmo Galactic Prism for the first time in quite a while last week and that's such a great mix with a groove & pace that's totally in and of itself. This looks like a different, much clubbier, kind of beast. Saw/heard him play near Amsterdam last month and that sounded like what this tracklist looks to deliver.

cosmo galactic prism is one of my alltime favorites. has he done any beardy/expansive mixes like that lately? i remember a fact podcast where he went heavy on the pat metheny/jean luc ponty end of things and i loved that too lol

The first half of his Trushmix is like that:

His Robert Johnson mix is somewhere halfway between Cosmo and the coming one maybe...

never heard PT do straight-up techno before but I like it https://soundcloud.com/prinsthomas/rif003-a-change

awesome

That's not him though, just a release on his label.

10 years of Full Pupp is sounding glorious, and I'm not even half way through the first CD.

lindstrøm-produced single by a singer called maya vik which sounds like real life is no cool taking a step from trippy disco into full-on bubblegum pop

so good.

His new one with Grace Hall is excellent too. That piano break!

also wonderful

i love his work with vocalists so much

Woah.

yes.
liking the sound of that.

From the brief audio clips in that interview, I can already tell the vocals are going to ruin this for me.

ferry + terje
rundgren + lindstrom

we should poll who prins thomas will collab with next

i vote gary numan

Sylvian and Jaki however the fuck you spell his last name.

Prins and Rick Wakeman.

a big jazz boy

Always wanted a sequel to Todd's "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," actually...

Prins and Ralf Hütter of course

P4K are streaming a track from the album:

http://pitchfork.com/news/59356-todd-rundgren-lindstrm-serena-maneeshs-emil-nikolaisen-share-put-your-arms-around-me/

Sounds a bit mental on first listen.

Ugh. Totally not for me, sadly. Sounds kinda desperate, somehow.

Note to self, make animated GIF of Lindstrøm revving an imaginary motorcycle from this interview:

I know this is a proper collaboration but I don't understand how this can sound like such a trainwreck when "Home Tonight" sounds so refined and majestic.

Trainwreck might be putting it a bit harshly. It's definitely not my cup of tea and sort of awful, but I'm imagining this as a Jon & Vangelis 'The Friends Of Mr. Cairo' type of thing.

lol, yeah sound would help, but this is still pretty great!

Erol Alkan rework of the title track:

I quite like "Put Your Arms Around Me", but then I love Six Cups Of Rebel to bits, so...

the less said about the album the better. Don't think trainwreck is too harsh. "Home Tonight" starts off uncharacteristically bland but then turns a corner and becomes prime Lindstrom. Lindstrom & Christabelle style vocals and hooks plus these piano fills, I'd buy that over and over and over again.

Stereolab & High Llamas remix of "Put Your Arms Around Me":

an EYE remix to come too

i really like runddans. it kinda evokes initiation.. it's a total trip.

Yeah, this is listenable all the way through for me, even if it's bitty and messy in places. I was a fan of Todd and Initiation, though.

That's a horrible song. The remix may or may not be good but I suppose I'd have to listen to the original to find out and I probably won't do that.

pretty good! you can buy it digitally for 7/8 quid...

i've had one listen all the way through - feels like something that'll unfold itself over time

I couldn't really get into Rainbow Disco Club but a Prins mix is always a buy-on-sight thing for me, way more than any of his actual albums. Psyched for this.

it actually seemed kinda hard to find digitally without the 30 quid usb stick plus cds thing. i got it on amazon in the end. perhaps it's on itunes but i googled to find it and went amazon.
