New Prins 12" coming on Endless Flight

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.

Is this one of those things where you get the mix as one track and then everything unmixed as a compilation? Fucking hate that. I like being able to see track titles in the mix itself.

I'm just ripping it from good, honest old fashioned CDs. Looking forward to hearing it...

on amazon you get the individual tracks and the three mixed files.

I see why they do that now that so many people have shitty phone players without gapless playback, but it irritates me.

on a second listen i reckon cd3 is the best #liveblog

It's available on bleep in various for formats and bitrates as well.

This is predictably awesome...

New quadruple ambient album inspired by 90s IDM coming in February.

it's a double album in the 21st century

did prins thomas just buy a house or something?

PT says 4 x LP is "the only way to fit 70 minutes of music on a good, loud-sounding vinyl pressing!"
http://www.factmag.com/2015/10/22/prins-thomas-interview/

forgot they did the same thing with L & PT II. 1 song per side.

that's a little ridiculous.
