^the last track Sakral is amongst his best

This new album and his last few collabs have been really really nice. Excellent stuff for high quality stereos/headphones too; really pristine production

Just picked up Ambitions. Really great album.

i thought this was quite boring—obviously tossed off

I like the track that was released off the new Lindstrom. Looking forward to it. Moving to all live instruments plus drum machines seems like a logical evolution for him.

New Album/EP out today
It's very ambient sounding on first listen

'feel the love' has a pretty weird low end, i never noticed it until playing it on just a particular sound setup that highlighted the bass
― j., Thursday, 17 October 2019 00:54 (four years ago) link
OK so the new Lindstrom album as a whole I think is a pretty minor thing but also really pleasant. Like taking a warm bath in analog synths. I had it on the other day while I was taking a walk and it was nice soundtrack music.

The first track is noodly rubbish imho, but the other three are beautiful. Might be the best thing he's done since Real Life Is No Cool.

this is lovely. the first track is great!
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 17 October 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
he's such a talented melodist, it's fun to hear him go in a more idk classical/new age direction. 'swing low sweet lfo' sounds like it could be the 'i am the center' comp, reminds me of the iasos track. it's all pretty 'noodly' tbh but i would rather describe it that quality as 'deep' and as something that has the promise to emerge and gain life through repeated listens.
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 17 October 2019 20:11 (four years ago) link
on first listen this is just beguilingly good imo, very near the top of the new age / ambient / balearic revival of the last 15 years.
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 17 October 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link
the promise to emerge and gain life through repeated listens.
Definitely been true for me. Things that just seemed formless the first time through take on texture and shape. Especially on that first track, which I really like.

there is a lot of tangerine dream pastiche on this but it's better than that sounds i think. right now i feel like there's a lot of unrealized potential here, like it points in a lot of different exciting directions at once? i'm not sure how or if it all gels but there's something simultaneously compelling and distancing about the harmonic drift that makes me want to keep listening to it.
― cheese canopy (map), Friday, 18 October 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
there's flashes of loveliness on this but it's just a little too freeform for me, indulgent where it could be refined

Meanwhile back in Balearic 2020, @feedelity and @prins_thomas are set to release 'III', their first new album together in eleven years.

i really adore II so i'm extremely excited

yeah that was a great record, everything good about both their styles, combined.
― Neil S, Tuesday, 6 October 2020 09:57 (three years ago) link
it's probably my favourite either of them have done
― ufo, Tuesday, 6 October 2020 10:06 (three years ago) link
Great news! I still break out 'II' frequently as well, love the atmosphere on that record so much.

November 20 it seems, after browsing around for a bit

So stoked. I love these guys together.

Has anyone heard Prins' trance album from a few months ago?

Yeah I checked it out on Spotify in the summer, it's lovely
― willem, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 09:03 (three years ago) link
Jaga Jazzist are interesting in their own right but that remix is so great.
― does it look like i'm here (jon123), Wednesday, 7 October 2020 10:35 (three years ago) link
Yeah they are and it is. Off topic, but Todd Terje's remix of JJ's "Oban" from a couple years back is great as well
― willem, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 10:57 (three years ago) link
Terje Oban remix is lowkey one of his best imo, such a lush arrangement

Jaga Jazzist remix is great but the Pirra remix is even better. I just prefer them in ecstatic disco mode to noodly Krautrock mode and using the Van Halen Jump chord progression is my kind of shamelessness.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 October 2020 09:54 (three years ago) link
this is fantastic
― nxd, Friday, 16 October 2020 10:50 (three years ago) link
Spotify Hipster Boyfriend decided I needed to hear the Pirra remix this morning, and holy hell, my algorithmic hipster hubbie, yes I do!
― Branwell with an N, Friday, 16 October 2020 10:58 (three years ago) link

thank you! I knew it was reminding me of something but couldn't place it earlier.
― Roz, Friday, 16 October 2020 12:59 (three years ago) link
II was def one of my favorite albums in 2009 but I haven't really listened to it since. Or anything else that came out around that time, come to think of it. No idea why.
Fully expect the new one to be killer if Martin 5000 is any indication
― Deflatormouse, Saturday, 17 October 2020 03:34 (three years ago) link

My grandfather invited me to a cruise in the Caribbean back in 2006 and one of the few full albums on my ipod was their first album. It pretty much was the only thing I listened to for a week. It’s a precious album attached to good memories and sunny weather for me but I can’t remember when was the last time I played it.
I do remember there’s always something interesting up ahead... every time you’re about to think “well this loop doesn’t seem to be going anywhere...” they smash you with a resolution that skyrockets the whole thing to another level. It’s a trick they do in almost every track, sometimes twice per track iirc and it’s blissful if you have the patience for it.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 17 October 2020 05:21 (three years ago) link
They’ve both grown massively as producers/musicians, some of the charm from that debut has been traded for wit. Very excited to hear what’s next based on these remixes upthread and the new track.

From 2018, but released a few months ago: Lindstrøm performing am hour-long commissioned work titled Blinded By The LEDs for Henie Onstad art museum, live on 20+ analogue synths, vocoder and drum machines:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an8Z60q9nyY
Some of the pieces were subsequently recorded for his 2019 album On A Clear Day I Can See You Forever, the only recording he has ever made without a laptop. (Discussed upthread.)

― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 18:08 (three years ago) link
i spent a lot of time with "on a clear day i can see you forever" and have to say it always left me wanting. i feel like lindstrom (and maybe prins thomas too) have so much potential but sometimes the jamminess can be frustrating as well as exciting.
