Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

1 Lindstrøm - "Paaskelyd"
2 Lindstrøm - "Er Bestemor Paa Moten"
3 Blackbelt Andersen Vs Prins Thomas - "Juling i Ringen"
4 Lindstrøm - "Drums of Life"
5 Lindstrøm - "I Feel Space"

if the tribulations remix link is still active in the most recent YSI thread, go download it immediately. the bit in the middle where the distorted vocal starts stuttering and then the beat drops underneath is fucking devastating.

i hope there are plans to repress bits and pieces like 'alien in my pocket' because i NEED them. i'm in full lindstrom obsession mode at this point!

Amazon sez it's just Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas.

I'm not really in the loop with this genre. What would you call it? Trip-house? It's crazy. What else would one check out if they really like this?

For frame of reference, I've also really enjoyed the Isolee record and the Vitalic. I checked all three of these out based on ILM threads.

Idjut Boys, Kango's Stein Massiv, maybe some Maurice Fulton stuff.

idjut boys!! chicken lips!!

maurice fulton - yes, but not MU, you should start w/ "life is water for gerbadaisies..." (recorded as "maurice fulton presents boof") and the album recorded as "maurice fulton presents stress"). also maurice's remixes.

possibly the earlier faze action ... anything before moving cities, really. also look for ray mang's work.

some of the artists on bunker and creme. a lot of it is lo-fi techno, so you sort of have to pick and choose but there's quite a bit of loose-limbed italo funk in there.

metro area and morgan geist would be two more.

other environ artists like daniel wang and kelley polar

trentemoller

and, oh yeah ... DETROIT TECHNO

yeah, i think tricky is right. i was making recommends based on the singles / compilation tracks i've heard ... just slsked some of the album and it's MUCH more downtempo than i was expecting.

SORRY BAD RECOMMENDATIONS

(ok they are recommendations for GOOD music but not really in the same vein as lindstrom)

phil it's off the hook - seek and destroy!

this has been up for a couple days already - grab it while you can!
http://s6.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0UMMIIIKG26UB18LR83Z8KR5F8

those recent Emperor Machine tunes on DC are a bit similar if not darker.
check the recent Stranger & Shortbus 12" on Dis-Joint out of SF...

been dying to hear that E2-E4 mix -- they've done a full-length version haven't they?

but in this topic...I hadn't heard emperor machine untill the recent simian mobile disco mix. I like that a lot.

Also check out Padded Cell on Suicide Recordings, they've done a few remixes here and there too. Very good stuff.

lindstrom tends to have two sides to his sound - the tripped out space disco and the noodly muso side. the 'i feel space' 12' demonstrates this to a t (which incidentally he recorded four years ago).

he has a forthcoming 12' coming called 'serious syntoms' which is the rawest thing he's ever done. endlessly repeating, slighty modulating moog bassline, live snare and hi hat and a bit of arp synth. sounds like it was recorded live in one take. mega.

i spent a very drunken night out with prins thomas recently and i get the impressiont that what we have heard so far is only the tip of the iceberg. mad, as they both have families and other jobs to keep them busy too.

out this week: "i feel space" m.a.n.d.y. remix on playhouse
and lindstrom & prins thomas remixes (vocal and instrumental) of silver city on 20/20 vision...

anyway, "Call Me Mr. Telephone"-- is awesome if folks haven't heard. They seems to be heavily influenced by 70's rock but not in a gimmicky way??? he goes kinda fleetwood mac in the middle of that song but its totally nice.

Does Eskimo have a website? Isn't that the label this will be released on?

http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0JXCSWSAUTFPL3T405IIA8HIFQ

3-6 times through = "damn, this is actually very good"

6+ = "FUCK! Must have everything! Fire up SLSK, call friends, FORCED EXPOSURE ain't got SHIT..AAGH!"

to download on city16 or not to download on city16, that is the..uh

Any individual track recommendations? I was blown away by "I Feel Space," and anything even half as good would be fantastic...

check out feedelity.com and download the newest L&PT Shibuya FM mix, it's fucking WICKED and i need a tracklist post-haste. i know some of you folks can ID this stuff for me. one of their recent shows, i think the august one, was okay but not amazing. THIS is the one. check it.
http://www.ir3.sakura.ne.jp/050925-01.mp3

clickgroove.com also has a chunk of the feedelity catalog (320K MP3).

yknow, my experience of lindstrom & prins thomas has had pretty much the opposite trajectory to biz's. fell head over heels to "i feel space" on first listen, got their lp, dug out old radiophonic workshop comp, put on lava lamp and space goggles. came over all warm as the cosmic vibes reach my very core. before i know what's hit me, the warmth has DRAINED as i realise that OH SHIT IT'S NOT 1974, IT'S THE LATE NINETIES AND I'M BACK IN LOVE WITH BLUE STATES AND K&D AND FILA FUCKING BRAZILIA.

the album gets an occasional listen, and the juan atkins remix sure is pretty. the goggles are now buried in a landfill site somewhere in south manchester.

My money on them being the next group to get the "oh my god it's the future" hype - although they need to do a few more tracks first.

thanks.

-- dan jonze (da...), September 27th, 2005 10:25 AM.

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.

plus, last month's shibuya FM show with L&PT if you missed it:
right here

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.

OK "i feel space" is fine (if you missed out on faze action and yellow sox and the rest of the great lost first and second wave of space-disco on nuphonic and u-star and versatile and discfunction and repap in the first place) but this album ... GAH ... it really IS fila brazilia all over again!

that single is ETERNAL and PERFECT like the first NEU album or like "in the light of the miracle". we'll see if people remember lindstrom a year from now.

also, while you are at it, dig out yellow sox "flim flam", another space disco track from ten years ago that ruins all nu-nu-space-disco pretenders.

YES IT IS!

on MARS

yes but there are DEFINITE connections ... FOR EXAMPLE "country clonk" was on nuphonic ... and featured on the same "nuphonic 01" compilation as "in the trees" and "flim flam" ... also "country clonk" is essentially a cover of dinosaur's "kiss me again" ... hmmm ...

Vahid I have and love both the first two Faze Action albums (although I think I prefer "Moving Cities" to "In The Trees", in fact "Moving Cities" is prob my favourite arty revivalist disco track ever ever ever) but I don't hear so much of an overlap b/w them and L&PT that it would somehow undermine the hype surrounding the latter. It would be like dismissing Basement Jaxx on the basis that Armand Van Helden had already been around and doing his thing.

Whereas with L&PT it's definitely the swirl and swelter effect I like, the way the different melodic motifs seems to emerge out of one another as if they're dissolving and precipitating while you listen.

(and Plans & Designs is better than Moving Cities despite the brilliance of the latter's title track)

Ummm...aren't you in SF? And did you buy this CD at Amoeba?

I smell the handiwork of Heywood Jablomi!!!!!

i had only ever heard of i feel space so i can't really think it's hyped at all.

Vahid why do you even bother, this album has got mixed reviews everywhere. It's been very low key, is "over hyped" now anyone actually liking an album you don't?

Also, "I Feel Space" isn't on it.

As for this, are you not better than this?

Why not just tell us to listen to fucking Revolver instead.

this time last year, lindstrom was pretty much unknown. i think all the 'hype' has come from a grass roots level caused by more and more people hearing his music. the fact that l&t are so prolific has certainly aided this but neither feedelity nor eskimo have really pushed the releases at all. there has been hardly any advertising, editorial or interviews, at least as far as i've seen. i think they just arrived to fill a gap at the exact right time. much as i love the idjuts, i feel they had been coasting for eons.

Obv. if you're opposed to micro/electro/etc. house then the notion of all these Tiefschwarz etc. fans suddenly getting into Lindstrom will prob. be offensive, but the fact remains that stuff like "I Feel Space" fulfills a very specific and effective function in the context of a harder electro-ish mix.

plus this news for anyone who isn't on the Feedelity mailing list:

new L&PT single, dunno which label, due in Feb. called "Mighty Girl"
new remixes of Roxy Music(!), Franz Ferdinand, & Allez Allez soon
Feedelity on iTunes soon

I smell the handiwork of Heywood Jablomi!!!!!

yes yes, that's me alright (although i've changed my handle...)
the record in question would have been the supremely fantastic Six Cups of Rebel 12" on Feedelity. Susan - did you like it?
I tried turning a good friend on to this recently but he returned it with the complaint that it was "too balearic". ;) I can't get enough of it. enjoyed best with herbalisms after dark.

also susan, if you bought the album i would DEFINITELY recommend the single (with the wood-carved owl on the cover), which is a more uptempo, extended version of 'turkish delight'. it's exactly what l&pt do so perfectly.

i also just got email from eskimo that they've done a US distro deal with forced exposure so expect CDs of the L&PT album to be in the shop shortly. great news, i think.

dominique, i hear what you're saying, but i think there's less of a direct comparison to LCDS than trends in rock/indie/live music to be influenced by disco and krautrock. i think there's more techno in LCDS, more balearic in L&PT, more italo in Putsch 79. definite overlap though...

Try this: play the L&PT remix of Juan Maclean's "Tito's Way" and proceed with Roxy Music's "India" (from Avalon). It has the same feel/atmosphere, imo. Knowing Avalon by heart (my parents used to play it a lot), a lot of L&PT's music/remixes hit the same spots as Avalon did/still does.

I find Justus Kohncke in disco mode to be closer to these guys than Metro Area, perhaps because both Kohncke and L&PT are more obviously disco-as-in-house (live-sounding but still heavy four-to-the-floor beats - hence the DFA resemblance), whereas Metro Area are like disco-as-in-not-house. And Kohncke gets that slightly swirly smudgy quality as well (see esp. "Krieg") which is the one point where the Faze Action comparison falls short for me.

i believe i have a few records that are labelled "dope!"

jacobs OTM on LCD vs. Lindstrom.

Goettsching!

like ronan, i sometimes think prins thomas is the good one as he doesn't noodle quite as much, but then i'll listen to something like 'arp she said' and change my mind again.

it seems they're in japan doing live sets this weekend, let's hope some audio makes its way onto the intarwebb for our listening pleasure. and because i'm spending way too much money for my first ipod tomorrow. :)

also, just got word from my distributor that the lindstrom "another station" 12" is out next week, white labels only with no artist credited (just like arp she said). fingers crossed, we'll be getting some here in SF...

btw SF folks: "Another Station" is in stock NOW. come'n'git it.

and gukbe, if you live anywhere near san francisco, i've got one copy left here at the shop...

I can't make heads or tails out the Eskimo website.

Eskimo, from what i understood, has just finalized a US distribution deal with Forced Exposure -- although the fruits aren't yet available to the public. i do NOT think this applies to vinyl though. I've still got Turkish Delight in stock on 12" here at Amoeba SF, and i've just re-ordered the L&PT full length on vinyl. haven't heard anything about CDs yet, nor have I been offered the new single from any of my distros yet. will keep yas posted.

in fact, it's kind of funny. when i first started the thread my apt had been robbed at the very beginning of the month, and a record bag with all my hot/new/promo shit was stolen. i think the VERY first things i replaced, and within a week or two, was the L&PT stuff in my bag. everything else almost didn't matter.

(btw susan, you're totally otm on the roxy music you hear. can't wait for their roxy music remix that's supposed to come out later this year...)

simon, here's the track your after.

straight from forced exposure:

L&PT album is released domestically (US) on 3/7/06

I hope Feedelity continues the relationship with ClickGroove (or Beatport or one of the high-bitrate stores) despite going on iTunes so impoverished laptop jocks like myself can continue to support. The 128K AAC files from iTunes sound pretty rough on a sound system.

Bought this today and it sure is.

Did any of you get "Another Station" yet?

Yes! That track is amazing, and so is Olav Brekke & Sideshow Jogge's "Gul Boss". The non-L&PT-related stuffreally holds its own.

iElectro-house bobbins 2006
iMinimal house bobbins 2006
iricardo villalobos

for starters

we are talking about simplifying outlines, building new forms out of old that are ever more pared-down, stripped back, and functional, opening up vast spaces (remember, in ancient art emptiness and blankness - the bottomless bass chasms between bongos and handclaps in dub-disco, the vacuous krautrock grooves of lindstrom + gang - signified the presence of the divine and the sublime) while retaining constructions that are upright and supportive. like a vase, or a column.

discus

Re the pop thing, I'd probably rather listen to the neptunes or sugababes or hard-fi, or something that's unashamedly pop 40 than some sub-recreation of 80s pop by Richard X or whatever. In the case of the neptunes it's probably more new sounding than an lot of dance music these days.Electro seemed a breath of fresh air after domination by funky house, but now it's just another boring mainstream sound.

this makes no sense. richard x produced a lot of the sugababes' stuff, incl. their biggest pop hits!

as far as neptunes/sugababes go, maybe you do "get" pop. i'm not sure anybody (even ivan smagghe) would argue that what they're doing is as "new" or "exciting" as the human league - if you had lived through it. don't get caught in the trap a historicism. it'd have been just as easy for frank zappa to lampoon the ramones or new york dolls or whatever in the 1970s by recording "ruben + the jets" ("redundant piano triplets"!!!) (he lived through it, too, after all, cruising el cajon in a bread truck blasting bubblegum) and it would be just as wrong.

as far as stripping back / minimalism / tradition go ... not sure how you are going to defend relief here ... whatever cajmere wants to say about it (mr "i've heard a million acid tracks and frankly it's boring now") i'm not sure how you could characterize relief outside of sticking to tradition, functionalised

As far as L&PT go: how many people on dancefloors have actually heard (heard of, even) the "space disco" it rips off? I don't think I have! And as I said upthread I think it's pretty different to Faze Action or Nuphonic, a lot of which I also like.

Also... I love Villalobos but I'm now getting really really sick of him being namechecked as the "token" innovator in current electronic music, he is quickly becoming the German Kanye West or even Outkast in this regard.

-- Tim Finney (tfinne...), Today.

i half agree with you, tim. villalobos may be on his way to token innovator status like kanye & outkast but i don't think that they have ever really taken solid ground and tilted it at a 45 degree angle with their music the way that he has.

also, vahid, i can't find the hey ya! thread. google searches are fruitless and ilm searches don't work on queries with all words under 4 characters.

I do think the new hyper-maximal minimal stuff is the most interesting stuff around now, but ok I'm being too purist and theoretical about cosmic disco.

Ha ha yes this is totally OTM. I don't know if this has ever happened before in quite the same way, maybe not since erm "techno"! Or "hardocre" maybe?

Live at Mago pt. 2
Live at Mago pt. 3

part one hasn't been posted yet...

http://www.myspace.com/feedelity

i'm guessing this is new as the only place i've heard about it was pitchfork a few days ago.

also Forced Exposure says Eskimo is having a problem stocking the album and that it now should arrive in May.

did this ever come out? it sounds amazing!

Does anyone know if this is any good : http://www.discogs.com/release/478681

Really, I am longing to hear this out.

Anyway that's my favorite so far.

Anyway, turns out they're some sort of "future jazz" group - which seems to mean bizarro sampladelic percussive jazzy meanderings which sound great but not what I was expecting.

What i was expecting though was matched and exceeded in the "Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix" - not sure what this track is, I think it might be a remix of LSB's "Original Highway Delight", the original of which I haven't heard, but was out recently on 12" on Eskimo.

But just play it, it's this astonishingly huge psychedelic italo-disco track, with bona fide ridiculous high-pitched vocals lurking somewhere towards the end. I can't stop listening to it! Who the fuck are these guys?

But yes! I dunno. Depends. Do they do more mind-expanding disco than these 2 remixes?

I nearly bumped this thread meself as there's a lindstrom comp called it's a feedelity affair coming out, comprising most of the 12" releases.

*snaps fingers*

No no, that was meant to be positive! I hope.

"On the other side, Mungolian Jet Set’s “Exit To The Ja-Ja” mix is quite a curious piece of schaffel which morphs into psychedelic disco halfway through its eight minute journey, then goes a little Happy Mondays at the end; interesting."

So yes, they have done more than two remixes of mind-expanding disco.

"Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix"

because the Eskimo 12" was one-sided with the original mix only, afaik.

is available on the Mungolian's myspace page

the original lindstrom mix of 'the contemporary fix' has just been promoed too and is a 303 disco monster. kind of like hardfloor's 'acperience' if it had been written with the paradise garage in mind.

there's a whole host of new full pupp 12"s about to come out too - all great.

just noticed this. i'm sure there isn't a banjo in the version i have.

you're killing me.

maybe they'll play this when i see them in norway next month.

if this is the original version i hear something that could be a banjo line. the full version is on the feedelity myspace. is there somewhere where one could sample the Serious Symptoms version?

people went crazy when they played their pizzy yelliot tune as well as their remix of the kreeps... lovely just lovely.

it must be warm to perform in their mungolian outfits tho...

they have to live setups. one is more electronic (with mainly just paal nyhus aka strangefruit and knut saevik)and the other one is more jazz with a full band.

the mungolian jet set album on the norwegian label jazzland has been postponed for some years, but will finally be released this fall (hopefully). this will be accompanied by the technon thai/navigator 12".

their remix of original highway delight by l.s.b. (pete herberts project) will be out in a couple of months on eskimo recordings.

a forthcoming remix will be of richard wagner (!!!!)

Anyone heard L&PT part 2 yet?

anyway the track borrows heavily from il veliero by the chaplin band and that track contains banjo for sure.

and if its not a banjo, maybe a dulcimer?

and:
>Anyone heard L&PT part 2 yet?

huh? what's this?

Although stirmonster's description is spot on, I was surprised to find myself thinking "yep, definitely Lindstrom!" when I first heard it - there's something so immediately identifiable about his sonic signature now. But it is quite distinct, absolute massive and ridiculously spacey and a bit cold (all the better for galactic travel my dear), like he finally decided to do a sequel to "I Feel Space". Luvvit.

(from smalltown supersound :)
It is with great pleasure that Smalltown Supersound can announce that the label will release Lindstrom`s debut album "It's a Feedelity Affair" in collaboration with Lindstrom himself and his Feedelity label. The album will be released the 23th. of October 2006 and includes among others his hits "Another Station" and "I Feel Space". The liner notes are written by NYC producer Daniel Wang.

Both Smalltown Supersound and Lindstrom/Feedelity are from Norway and a mutual trust, respect and understanding led to this collaboration. Lindstrom has obviously got many offers from records labels around the world, but he chose to stay independent and have control of his own music. Smalltown Supersound on the other hand found a soulmate in Lindstrom and the perfect sound for the label in Lindstroms`s music. Lindstrom fitted perfectly with the labels electro/electronica/pop roster with artists such as Bjorn Torske, Tussle, 120 Days, Kim Hiorthoy, Toy, Lars Horntveth, Jaga Jazzist and Mental Overdrive, the core of the label being Norwegian electronic music.

Lindstrom`s career took off after a string of critically acclaimed 12" singles that alone started a movement the press later would call "space disco". He is also well known for his remixes and has among others remixed LCD Soundsystem, Roxy Music, Franz Ferdinand, Annie and DFA`s Juan McLean. Last year Lindstrom also released a duo album with Norwegian DJ and friend Prins Thomas, titled "Lindstrom and Prins Thomas", an album that was released on Eskimo Records to wide critical acclaim. His most famous track and 12" , "I Feel Space" (released on both Playhouse and Feedelity), has now sold 17 000 copies, an impressive number these days for a vinyl only release. But now its finally time to compile all of Lindstrom`s seminal 12" on CD and download for the first time. The album also includes The Contemporary Fix, a new track from the 12" vinyl-single which has already been supported by Pete Tong and Annie Mac on BBC radio. Early in 2007 we will also release a single/EP from the album with a remix by EYE of the Boredoms.

Available on CD on the 23rd of october 2006 on feedelity / smalltown supersound
For more info: www.smalltownsupersound.com / info@smalltownsupersound.com

I manage to stay always out of the loop on Lindstrom stuff for some reason, good opportunity to find out what all the fuss ("I Feel Space" excepted) is about!

also, have not heard the steve malkmus remix...and really want to. i was too late when TAPE put it up back in the summer.

And on the subject of Mungolian Jet Set, the Nils Petter Molvaer remixes are totally ace.

FED 009: LINDSTROM & SOLALE - LET'S PRACTISE

8. Nummer Fire En 21.01

21 Minutes of Beardo Glory?

http://www.discoex.com/images/lindstrom.gif

Oh, but I jest, I just. I'm crazy about the original album and "Let's Practise" kills. Photoshop twisted my arm.

LOLLOLLOLLOLLO!!!

A++++++++++++++

'let's practise' = rad.
essential mix = better!

"Let's Practice" would have been lots better if they had gotten a singer who wasn't tone deaf.

tones are so terrestrial, dude

The Music of the Spheres is made of tones and colors ; )

i like tone deaf singers.

Nummer Fire En is up at 20jazzfunkgreats, in the May 21st post.

It's great. Abstract yet funktional yet musical. Something for everyone.

I wonder what Lindstrom's obligatory new cover song will be...?

guess it's this vangelis cover, eh? nice.

honey dontcha live on the edge of a sigh.

judging from the blog buzz, the prins thomas rmx of hatchback's "white diamond" is a thing of manifold wonders. anyone heard it?

Oh my god the Sunkissed mix-cd is amazing - fizzy and fabulous, an endless cup of joy etc. etc.

omfg all time playa status

ah apparently i'm like three weeks behind; this is what happens when you don't read pfork?

can we claim him as "ILX's own (HOTTTT) dominique leone"??

what is that tracklisting for vahid? (this is what happens when I don't read pfork)

Lindstrom's upcoming "late night tales" mix

i cant wait to hear his take on "let it happen."

grady did you hear the L+PT essential mix? it's on that.

no, i didn't.

d/l now!

the remix of "you make loving fun" on the EM is amusing

"Oh my god the Sunkissed mix-cd is amazing - fizzy and fabulous, an endless cup of joy etc. etc."

Seriously dudes, this is the best thing ever. Especially:

04 Disk Jokke - "Cold Out" - like Dominik Eulberg making a Fatboy Slim track in the best possible sense

06 Wekan - "Brownbred (Kango's Stein Massiv Remix)" - DFA make a Music For Freaks track

12 120 Days - "Come Out, Come Down, Fade Out, Be Gone" - Somewhere between Orbital's "Impact (The Earth Is Burning)" and The Chemical Bros' "Setting Son"

And of course the two Mungolian Jet Set remixes, but you already know they're the pinnacles of human achievement up until now.

"Nummer Fire Ein" - ha ha the first ten minutes is like who slipped a Villalobos record into this sleeve.

Does anyone else love this Peter Visti 12inch on Eskimo from last yeae as much as I do?

is the sunkissed thing out here yet? maybe i'll make a trip to the shoppe.

new L.S.B. single = my fave eskimo thing of late.

I don't think it has yet Haitch - will let you know if I see it.

Yeah that new LSB single is ace. I seriously do not agree with Vahid re Eskimo falling off.

But anyways, i came back to say... The Final Frontier:

Mari Boine vs.Mungolian Jetset - It Ain`t Necessarily Evil (A Mung`s Portrayal Of The Traditional Norwegian Suoivean Idjagie Dance)

Astonishing!

Go to their myspace to hear it - http://www.myspace.com/mungolianjetset

Yes I will totally street-team for them.

the remix of "you make loving fun" on the EM is amusing awesome

Idjagie Boys

i don't recall what i said about eskimo falling off, but i think it was stemming from being unhappy with 1) lotterboys album 2) radioslave's "creature of the night" and 3) the slowed-to-a-crawl release schedule. and i'm not too crazy about the glimmers remixes or dj mixes, which IS a big change from several years ago.

i agree they've put out a half-dozen nice (not mindblowing) italo singles ... but over the course of two years it's sorta underwhelming!

Yeah the Lotterboys album is weak i'll agree.

I've been waiting for Sunkissed to land ever since I saw it on discogs, but no luck so far. Hope it won't be a letdown like Prima Norsk strangely was for me.

The Visti single is one of my favorites of the year (although it came out Dec 06 I think), esp the A side version.

i think i saw a used promo copy at amoeba but i passed on it for some reason??

now i feel dumm. maybe it was from feeling underwhelmed by "prima norsk 3" and wanting to save up for "this is rong music" and "klubb kebbab"

i love the studio album and the lindstrom late night tales and the prins thomas cosmic galactic mix thing and so i am bandwagon-hopping here.not feeling the map of africa album though.

guyz: check leo 4 lindstrom goodness.

The 18 minute Prins Thomas mix is pretty good, although it seems more like two separate mixes sliding into each other.

8. Dominique Leone - Conversations

Right on!

7. George Duke - North Beach
9. Anja Garbarek - I Wont Hurt You

I know and LOVE both of these, so... wow.

thanks guys! (ps Tim F, I love Mungolian too, in fact Pal from MJS & HPL are teaming up on a project for a future remix)

Lex I'm surprised you like the Studio album - even though many days it's my favourite album of the year. I thought the intermittent indie vocals would put you off.

Dominique, how did the the use of your track come about? I'm imagining Lindstrom flying you to a sauna in a backwoods somewhere. "All of the artists I use for my mixes, they can withstand extremes of heat and cold."

haha I wish! I'm working w/him and smalltown supersound on my CD release (hopefully oct). this track won't be on it, but he liked it, so wanted to use it for latenighttales.

So will there be a Solale album a la Kathy Diamond? I like "Let It Happen" even more than "Let's Practice".

Still adoring that Mungolian Jetset vs Mari Boine thingy.

These guys are one of the few current examples I can think of where the artist/group/band has a genuinely exciting aesthetic unfolding with everything they do.

Listen to the remixes of "A Blast of Loser", "Original Highway Delight", "Milano Model" and "It's Not Necessarily Evil" in that order and it's just like, "WTF are they gonna do next?"

I also love how, no matter how far-out they get, they're so incontravertibly pop.

Of course they're pretty fucking weird...

Tim F - have you heard their record from last year? Nothing like the remixes, almost kind of a dubby jazz ambient thing; pretty cool, but totally not pop.

the remix of "you make loving fun" on the EM is amusing awesome

"Breakfast in Heaven" 12" to be released in july.

Scroll down...

Lindstrøm and Solale album in the making!

(the forgotten link)

G-HA, Olanskii & Mungolian Jetset 'Sunkissed' event at Fabric in mid July!

The Guardian Guide called space disco boring and geeky this week. Thanks for info guys!

The Lindstrom Late Night Tales is excellent- pretty much everything you could want from a "chillout" type comp, and the Vangelis cover alone is worth every penny. And the track is great, but damn, that Dominique Leone chick has one deep voice.

Imagination – Just an Illusion (Lindstrøm Remix) [12” Juno Records]

!
Anyone heard this?

Utter fuck up in the booklet for the <i>Late Night Tales</i> tho', one page of info about the music is repeated and one page is omitted.

Fuck, forgot to convert code. Soz.

Holy shit, I just now recognized the "Hava Nagila" elements in "Flavoursaver" off the Major Swellings album! Cheeky bastard.

That whole album is like two giant cheeks squeezed into hotpants dancing on the dancefloor of da Love Boat.

Leone's track is one of my favorites off LNT - respect, that's a great tune.

just listened to LNT for the first time last night... loved it.

cover is kinda lame tho

and i second the d leone respect. and the song after it is really nice too.

hey thanks!

PT is hitting the west coast next month and even making it out to HI.

"Let It Happen" is awesome.

that todd rundgren track = jamie Liddell 30 years before the fact. i've never knowingly heard him before, believe it or not.

that todd rundgren track = jamie Liddell 30 years before the fact. i've never knowingly heard him before, believe it or not.

I guarantee you've unknowingly heard him, though, at least "Hello It's Me."

i'm surprised at jess's 6.2!!

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/45754-boredoms-eye-torske-ifixi-up-new-lindstrom-ep

The Contemporary Fix EP finally has a release date! Original, Serious Syntoms, Bjorn Torske and EYE mixes. Though I'm almost more excited about:

http://www.smalltownsupersound.com/v1/sql/newsimages/tussle-ep.jpg

http://gunclub.dj/audio.html

192k mp3's of PT's recent San Francisco set, 2-hours' worth. it's killer, i can't stop listening to it. i desperately need a full tracklist, too. i've got a couple tunes from the middle of his set down (he plays the Windsurf remix of LCD Soundsystem, then Mock & Toof's "K Choppers") but the rest is a mystery.

oh good, that tussle thing's actually coming out!

does anyone still have those japanese shows that are linked above? ("yellow pt. 1" etc.) they no longer exist at those locations

I've got 'em on my hard drive I think. I can re-up tomorrow if so.

forthcoming Feedelity stuff:

in addition to a killer 12" of Breakfast In Heaven remixes, by Diskjokke and Arp (aka Alexis formerly of Tussle), the Dominique Leone EP 12" is also out soon, with a 12 minute mix kicking off the record by the 16th Rebels of Mung. Who dat? Mungolian Jet Set?

just got both of these in the post and am seriously feeling all of it. the Arp remix stands out on the first 12", hypnotic synth loops imitating "that" riff, echoing and overlapping into infinity with a tight, punchy kick underneath it all.

Leone's EP is great too - probably the most interesting thing Feedelity have released and easily the most outside-the-box. "Conversational" is included here and the main dancefloor track is the A1 - Clairevoyage, the extremely dope aformentioned 12-minute remix. "Duyen" reminds me of Skylarking-era XTC quite a bit, especially in the vocals. congrats DL, nicely done. looking forward to owning this handsome 12".

Yes, congrats to Dominique! looking forward to this 12".

Ooh, new Mung makes me quite happy indeed.

Semi-related: if you can get it cheap ($10 or less) and don't already have everything on it, the new "Portable Supersound" compilation is totally worth it- hits the highlights from their latest releases and has an exclusive Lift Boys/EYE track that is fucking gorgeous.

The Norwegian soundscape architect won't make his official solo full-length debut until the June 2 release of Where You Go I Go To on Feedelity/Smalltown Supersound. The LP consists of all previously unreleased material, and Lindstrøm's Smalltown Supersound labelmate Kim Hiorthøy designed the album's artwork.

from pfork

there's a nice new l&s demo on solale's myspace .... http://www.myspace.com/solalechristabelle.

Just read this on the Smalltown Supersound site:
09.03.2008

Lindstrom `s brand new studio album will be released the 6th of June 2008 worldwide on Feedelity/Smalltown Supersound. The album is titled “Where You Go I Go Too” and this is actually Lindstrom`s debut album as last years “It`s A Feedelity Affair” was a collection of his 12”s. “Where You Go I Go To” consist of brand new material, none of it released on singles before.
