heywood jablomi , those sets from Module in Tokyo are from 2004 not 2005. I was like whoa, how did i miss that?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:04 (twenty years ago)

no shit? seems like they just popped up on the lowrider site...

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

ay Job! can you YSI some Painted Nails? i'm curious...

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Sunday, 30 October 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

I've got it on vinyl, that's way too much trouble, sorry!

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 30 October 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

Except for the "Sweet Cow" mix, this stuff has sort of passed me by. Would anyone care to do a primer? Or maybe heywood can keep back something at Am03b4 for me...

I'm liking the full-length so far, tho yes, it is kind of easy on the ears. Not in the bad way though, especially good if you happen to like European movie soundtracks from the 70s.

(also reminds me of Air)

― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

im sold!

― unconscious, honey (FE7), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Painted Nails are brilliant.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

okay okay, i'm gonna do my OWN research on Painted Nails, no thanks to you. :P

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)

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

otherwise, peep the intro paragraph to this thread, lots of goodies in there...

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

major swellings is pretty hot, except for the "italo" parts.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

painted nails is jon dacey(aka Dubious)and his wife. the single is rad and his other solo singles are awesome too. check www.prizerecords.com

― non, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

i checked out the painted nails 12" the other day ("silk cherries") and it didn't do much for me, unfortunately. i'll try and give it a second listen (it was in a shop)...

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?

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Thursday, 3 November 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

can't see what all the fuss is about.
they've done a few remixes, their self titled is fairly bland.
i love space is nice but hardly special.
haven't heard the new album yet, keen to be proven otherwise.

― Idle Idle (idleidleidle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

so the album is out this week, imports are just hitting stateside shops, so if you still haven't heard it, snap it up! also out this week are the feedelity #0 & #1 repressings, which are killer.

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

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Saturday, 26 November 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

On first listen I really like the album on eskimo! More than I expected to! It's so layered and swirly and beautiful and maximalist, i think I'll end up permanently associating it with the second Isolee album - which, incidentally, it is no more downtempo than. From the talk on this thread I was half expecting trip hop or something.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 26 November 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

Love the new album on Eskimo! "Turkish Delight" is bee-hyoooo-tiful!

― Patrick South (Patrick South), Saturday, 3 December 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

i was just sent a white label copy of the forthcoming double-pack 12" on the Japanese Outergaze label, "...another side of Lindstrom", and it seems to be a mashing up of his two styles: it's spacey disco, but with the more muso elements you might find in his Slowsupreme work. i've only given it half a listen so i don't really have an opinion about it yet. will be checking it out today.

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.

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Saturday, 3 December 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

first track on the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas record (Forelopig bit? can't remember the exact name) is like prog-disco, and I think is total greatness. is that what you're talking about when you say "muso", because if so, I need to seek out more.

― Dominique (dleone), Saturday, 3 December 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

naw, that's not what i'm talking about when i say 'muso'. i mean more musicianship. in a negative way you could call it 'noodly'.

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Sunday, 4 December 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

bliss

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 9 December 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

I agree with cutty. I was unimpressed upon first listen (wanting more "I Feel Space" and "there's a drink in my bedroom and i need a hot lady" I suppose. But something is hitting me just right today. Completely blissfull and smooth while remaining percussive enough to be interesting. Space disco for sure.

― matt2 (matt2), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

I love this album, one of mt favorites of the year.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 5 January 2006 19:28 (twenty years ago)

yeah, once i adjusted to this being different from the singles i grew to really love it.

― rajeev (rajeev), Thursday, 5 January 2006 19:59 (twenty years ago)

i'm trying to write a "most overhyped record of year" thing about this for my neglected blog, but i barely even understand why people are hyping this in the first place, which is making it really hard to explain how it's been over-hyped.

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!

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:34 (twenty years ago)

BTW in one month it is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the release of faze action's "in the trees", dig it out if you need to (although i've always had it on hand for the TEN YEARS) and it'll take your head off.

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.

― vahid (vahid), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:40 (twenty years ago)

Vahid, please stop hurting me.

― Imaginary ILM strawman, Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

I WAS THERE...when Faze Action released "In the Trees"

― jeffery (jeffery), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:47 (twenty years ago)

ha, but i LOVE fila brazillia. don't understand all the fila hate. :(

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:48 (twenty years ago)

faze action's "in the trees" is a popular track regarded as a classic though, right? At least I know it and I know fuck all so it must be. Jockey Slut never stopped going on about it.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:57 (twenty years ago)

is this really the most hyped record of the year?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 5 January 2006 22:58 (twenty years ago)

i hate "i feel space" and i like the album! i guess i can handle disco-downtempo better than disco-poptrance.

― Yawn (Wintermute), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:00 (twenty years ago)

is this really the most hyped record of the year?

YES IT IS!

on MARS

― Imaginary ILM strawman, Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:04 (twenty years ago)

The album makes perfect sense to me. I think more so, because I bought it at the same time as the new Kate Bush. I been playing both albums, one after another, it my ears they work well together. Regardless that both were Hyped.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:12 (twenty years ago)

i loved all that nuphonic / idjuts stuff - still do but i think 'i feel space' is from a different place really.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:13 (twenty years ago)

I wish Run, would just keep going, on and on...

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:14 (twenty years ago)

You mean it would keep running?

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:22 (twenty years ago)

yep

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 5 January 2006 23:40 (twenty years ago)

the record isn't that hyped, i thought it kinda s(t)ank.

-- stirmonster (jd_*!!!!...), January 5th, 2006 3:13 PM. (stirmonster)

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 (vahid), Friday, 6 January 2006 02:18 (twenty years ago)

"Horseback" - just love that title.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 6 January 2006 08:27 (twenty years ago)

"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! "

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.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 6 January 2006 12:07 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I do see yr point, but I think what i always liked about Faze Action was how clean and clear and crisp their sound was, like all the different instruments are soloing in different rooms and then being assembled together without being aware of it to great this really glistening, open and airy effect (i always thought the architectural allusions on the cover of the first album were very apt).

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.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 6 January 2006 13:10 (twenty years ago)

(I can definitely see the resemblance with something like "In & Out" though)

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

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 6 January 2006 13:16 (twenty years ago)

i'm totally busy today,so all i'll say is --it continues to be very back in forth with these guys for me. and i bought some record by Lindstrom or that's Lindstrom related (it had some other name on it but it was in their section and someone had written on it "AKA LINDSTROM = DOPE!"), over the weekend and i'm totally excited to listen to it at some point. ok, maybe i even bought 2 and one is proper lindstrom and thomas (but it had some sort of lettering w/ wood siding type inlay that seemed like a possible bad omen but i tried not to jump to conclusions). i have to figure out what i have and listen to it. my house is a trash heap.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 6 January 2006 17:39 (twenty years ago)

it had some other name on it but it was in their section and someone had written on it "AKA LINDSTROM = DOPE!"

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

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

― [tuvan throat singer's profound lyric sheet-must read again] (nordicskilla), Friday, 6 January 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

yes. that's pretty funny. maybe he can now tell me what i bought, b/c its buried beneath a bunch of crap and i really don't know the lineage of any of these people so I bought it b/c of his little note and now i'm gonna come get him if its crap!

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 6 January 2006 18:41 (twenty years ago)

the album with the wood siding inlay is the lindstrøm & prins thomas eponymous album on eskimo, i'm pretty sure. go here: http://www.eskimorecordings.com/site.php?section=eskimo and click on artist albums to see. i think it's great.

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

― lf, Friday, 6 January 2006 19:02 (twenty years ago)

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.
