Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

that's funny i was totally going to post the same thing today - i had a similar epiphany yesterday while i was listening to an akwaaba album in my car. i think fila brazillia is a closer match than k&d or blue states. but there really wasn't anything wrong with fila brazillia for the first few albums, was there? it wasn't until they really started to stray into aimless jazz and folk-rock that it got tiring, right? as long as they stuck w/ the 4/4 i could (and still can) really get into FB ... so i'm hoping lindstrom reasserts the danciness, soon. maybe on an upcoming solo album?

or maybe i need to shell out for the major swellings album ...

a nice torrent has popped up on oink that's a collection of their remixes (some lindstrom solo) and it's freaking fantastic, for the most part. it's got the forthcoming Tosca remix on it as well as a Lindstrom remix of Fuzz Against Junk's "Country Clonk", a record that came out on Bearfunk last year. the comp is worth downloading for this track alone. fucking sublime.

been corresponding with Mr Lindstrom lately and he says that Feedelity #0 and #1 are getting repressed in the near future, so watch for them. also the E2-E4 thing is on an italian label whose name escapes me and it due out in a couple months or so. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.

strangely, the distributor which had originally solicited for the L&PT full-length called today to say that Eskimo had pulled out of the deal and they won't be carrying it now. anyone know what's up with that?

i just spend the last three days trawling online record shops for rarities and have pretty much come up empty. i need suggestions!

oh, another thing i forgot.
did some extensive google sleuthing and noticed there's a couple Japanese-only tings from our boys.
two of them are on Outergaze records, one of which - Lindstrom's "Violent Group" - just came out in the western world this week. He's also apparently got a full-length called "Another Side Of", which the single is taken from. plus there's a remix of Port of Notes on the Crue-L label which i think juno is carrying. but that's way too expensive for little stateside me.

caning the country clonk remix at the moment. how did i miss this?

This is on vinyl! I have it! There's a good electroey remix on it too.

i cube - tokyo uno

hopefully my html trickery will work. enjoy!

also, y'all should know someone posted the E2-E4 remix in the most recent YSI thread...

adam - come hit me up at amoeba...i can hook you up.
we've got three of the Feedelity 12s ('further into the future', 'i feel space' and 'there's a drink in my bedroom', the prima norsk compilation on CD, an assortment of remixes, and the major swellings CD. we'll have the first Eskimo single by wednesday/thursday. album comes out next month followed in January by a Lindstrom solo full-length on the Japanese label Outergaze.

hit me up wednesday nite/thursday during the day. ask for "mike bee" (my alter-ego)

but i have a question for you folks...

say a friend was going to ask Mr. Lindstrom to do cover a song for an upcoming volume of a covers compilation series. what would you like to hear in a Lindstrom/Prins Thomas stylee?

plus, there's both live set and dj set mp3's from a recent album release party in the UK: http://www.ourdisco.com/music/?id=163

also got cd from feedelity featuring a new Lindstrom single whose name escapes me ("another station" maybe? i don't have it in front of me). it's also got a todd terje remix. not bad on first listen, i think i might like the terje remix better.
