none of the stuff on the dvd compares to the show i saw in philly after snuffbox came out. they were FULL ON ROCK that nite, and completely on fire. one of the greatest shows i've ever seen.

"Anyway, if Ghost's new Hypnotic Underworld is an ever expanding lotus blossom that grafts past prog desires and the will to propagate on its petals whilst consciously demanding collective pre-history antidotes and anecdotes in exchange for post-war/post-'68 letdowns and lessons learned that have forever addled the brains of impressionable seekers, then so be it. I'm in. History is written by the victors, but the beauty of desolation and dreams of rural idylls far from the bomb blasts are written by those who died for farce."

I really liked the dark temple footage in the DVD... and the accompanying CD is their most out-there improv stuff.
This "last US show" thing makes me very sad, I was lucky enough to see them on their 1998 tour and they played this long crazy noisy thing with hurdygurdy that sounded like something off of Batoh's second solo EP...

Wait, what? Just seen that they cover 'Caledonia' - where can I get this? Must hear it.
― emil.y, Saturday, 4 April 2009 17:21 (seventeen years ago)
on their last album
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 4 April 2009 17:22 (seventeen years ago)
Okay, fine, I'll take that as a hint to go google what their last album was. You could have given a name or something. Gah.
― emil.y, Saturday, 4 April 2009 17:26 (seventeen years ago)
Anyone else excited for the tour???
― ilxor, Saturday, 4 April 2009 17:45 (seventeen years ago)
they are so awesome live. saw them in providence at terrastock 6 and theirs was the only show i caught besides lightning bolt, bardo pond, and jack rose that lit the place that bright
― kamerad, Saturday, 4 April 2009 18:40 (seventeen years ago)
batoh swore on stage they'd never return until bush was no longer our president. well fuck yeah, here we go
― kamerad, Saturday, 4 April 2009 18:41 (seventeen years ago)
Very. Nice follow-on news from seeing Acid Mothers Temple/Kinski last night.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 4 April 2009 18:46 (seventeen years ago)
awesome news
― sleeve, Saturday, 4 April 2009 18:58 (seventeen years ago)
denver show is going to be tiiiiiight. though i will probably be the only one there.
― tylerw, Saturday, 4 April 2009 20:11 (seventeen years ago)
is there a new album coming out? or are they just touring for the heck of it.
― tylerw, Saturday, 4 April 2009 20:12 (seventeen years ago)
Nothing immediately listed on their website about a new album, so looks like the latter option:

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 4 April 2009 20:25 (seventeen years ago)
Just got the first (self-titled) album on PSF secondhand the other day and am listening to it right now, coincidently enough. Sounds good.
― krakow, Saturday, 4 April 2009 20:44 (seventeen years ago)
OK, second time round for this self-titled album and it rules. Much better than I was expecting (I love 'Hypnotic Underworld' but was afraid that much of their other stuff would be too hippyish for my tastes).
― krakow, Saturday, 4 April 2009 21:48 (seventeen years ago)
Nope, it's all pretty great!
― ilxor, Sunday, 5 April 2009 01:18 (seventeen years ago)
Aye, I reckon I'll be tracking down the rest now...
I know Monorail has had a s/h copy of Batoh's Darg City solo compilation for a while, so if that's still there on Monday, it's mine.
― krakow, Sunday, 5 April 2009 08:09 (seventeen years ago)
best accomplishment of the obama administration so far!!! : )

After repeatedly reading lots of praise for these guys (and given the fact that, on paper, they're right up my alley) I succumbed and bought In Stormy Nights on vinyl last year. But it failed to move me. Maybe I should give it another chance, but I'm barely motivated right now to walk across the room and put it on.
Is this album generally considered to be poor? Should I perhaps give them another go, with a different LP?
― Duke, Sunday, 5 April 2009 10:22 (seventeen years ago)
Right, In Stormy Nights is on the deck. "Hemicyclic Anthelion" covers all of side one, which is always a good sign....
― Duke, Sunday, 5 April 2009 10:26 (seventeen years ago)
that's the most difficult place to start I could imagine! good luck. I found the later part of the record to be stronger.
― sleeve, Sunday, 5 April 2009 10:33 (seventeen years ago)
Actually, "Hemicyclic Anthelion" is one of the songs I always liked on this album. I love that sort of free-form piece. It was some of the later, folkier songs that I found a little off-putting. But listening now, I'm actually quite liking them too, for example "Motherly Bluster" (on side 3 of the LP)
― Duke, Sunday, 5 April 2009 11:05 (seventeen years ago)
Sadly, yes.
― ilxor, Sunday, 5 April 2009 17:44 (seventeen years ago)
?!? Had no idea they were touring!! super-excited, may have to get a babysitter for this one

Ghost could probably do a sweet psych jam on "Unchained Melody" that's for sure.

The Terrastock 4 show -- indescribable. They had only about ten minutes and they made the most of it beyond description.― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, April 13, 2006 9:43 AM (3 years ago)
