using the Van Halen Jump chord progression is my kind of shamelessness.
thank you! I knew it was reminding me of something but couldn't place it earlier.

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

also i keep misreading this as "Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are shit"

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.

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.)

This is out now
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 20 November 2020 17:58 (three years ago) link
checking it out. first track already getting me to *that place*. amazing drums
― 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.
― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 18:10 (three years ago) link
first track "grand finale" (lol) is a keeper, gorgeous
― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 18:11 (three years ago) link
on to the single. this sort of demands one get baked before listening doesn't it.

(made an album)
"small stream" is a little rhodes waltz with some analog techno in the bg.

oranges. spacey

hmm i think the slower tracks on this are my favorite so far, incl. "oranges"
― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link
really dumb move on Bandcamp's part that if you check out an album and start playing it, buying it will stop the music

"harmonia" ethereal drum circle

xp yeah the ux on bandcamp has some issues
oh damn "birdstrike" is .. also gorgeous

Just started in on headphones. Sounding lush so far

wait till you get to the end! spoiler: it's also lush
― fleet doxes (map), Friday, 20 November 2020 19:55 (three years ago) link
this is a little more low-key than II and doesn't reach the same incredible peaks but it's still great. pure comfort food
― ufo, Friday, 20 November 2020 20:06 (three years ago) link
Is it just that this was done on different equipment or what? It sounds much more generic than the last two. I like it, but it doesn't stand out as being unique or seem to have the same magic as their other stuff. Maybe it's going to take more plays for the personality to come through.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 20 November 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
Yeah agree, this album is great and I will play it relentlessly, but it's not as out there as the last couple. Oranges sounds a lot like Hatchback to me. Which is fine!
― lukas, Saturday, 21 November 2020 22:28 (three years ago) link
Haven't fully connected with the album yet but do love this kinda piece. Some new stuff to explore (for me): https://daily.bandcamp.com/big-ups/lindstrom-prins-thomas-big-ups

It's also a tropical audio islet with rhythms bouncing around and fooling you where the beat is and just a crazy spacy trip all round.
They gone done it again!

oranges is blissed out and easy-going, constantly unfolding with ever vaster expansions of chill. this record is airy and light, very daytime

does anyone know if christabelle sandoo did anything after 'real life is no cool' or did she move on from music?
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 16:37 (nine months ago) link
her performance on 'baby can't stop' is still all-time for me
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 16:38 (nine months ago) link
This is from her LinkedIn. Not sure that album was ever released
After touring ‘Real Life is No Cool’, which included shows at Øya, Roskilde, Benicassim (Spain), BLOC (UK), Bestival (UK) + + +, Christabelle has been working on new material for her debut solo album due for release in February 2013, together with some of Europe’s most exciting young producers. She’s also been developing her talents as a video artist, the results of which will be premiered at Numusic 2012 .
― groovypanda, Thursday, 13 July 2023 22:12 (nine months ago) link
what a talent. i hope she's doing well.
― ꙮ (map), Thursday, 13 July 2023 22:19 (nine months ago) link
new album is just comfort food, he's done this thing countless times before and it's not as good as any of those (especially not ii or where i go you go too), but it's still pretty pleasant to have on in the background
― ufo, Friday, 14 July 2023 02:29 (nine months ago) link
his last high watermark for me was 'closing shot'
― ꙮ (map), Friday, 14 July 2023 02:45 (nine months ago) link
yeah i would agree there
― ufo, Friday, 14 July 2023 03:05 (nine months ago) link
There's a dank mystery in "Under Trees," the closer from It's Alright Between Us as It Is, that I've always found rather special.
Disappointed that there seems to be no CD version of the new album -- I suppose if there are hardcore Lindstrøm collectors out there, they're used to buying 12"s anyway.

if we're talking favorite late-period Lindstrom tracks, mine is probably Algorytme:

the segment from the breakdown through where it all clicks together is one of my favorite bits in his entire catalogue

I like this album a lot more than I expected reading the previous comments. "Syreen" and "Nightswim" are the kinds of synth-driven dance tracks he has made a career out of (still excellent). But the latter two tracks are where my ears perked up: "The Rind" has a killer breakdown and build up led by ascending jazz chords and a relentless beat punctuated by disco strings; the title track is blissful and evolves into an extended electric guitar meditation.

'Everyone else is a stranger' probably my fav
