it's a little too similar to II. I like the guitar playing on uggebugg, though.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Played this on a sunny car ride to Portland this week and didn't love it. It's good but it's not great. Have only heard it twice all the way so maybe it's going to take longer to sink in.

These aren't the reviews I was wanting to hear. If it's more of L&PT ll, I will be disappointed.
― Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 00:11 (fourteen years ago) link
I like a lot of the basslines so far. Is this really the cover, Him in a plaid shirt?
― Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 00:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i love it, the basslines are heavier than II, its more hypnotic, minimal, chuggin; in summary: grebt

i didn't really love it either on 1st listen :(

I did, but then I much prefer PT's hairy, krautrocky stoner tendencies to Lindstrom's high-gloss sound. Two of the tracks are pure Faust/Neu!. It is pretty similar to II though.

Wait, waht? Is this out, or are you guys eating up the leaks?
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 10:48 (fourteen years ago) link
No.
I really freaking hate you guys sometimes. It really spoils things for me when everyone else is played out and sick of an album by the time it gets released and I get to listen to it.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 10:51 (fourteen years ago) link
You could just listen to the leak?
I'm looking forward to this - I think Prins would be great at hairy krautrocky stuff. I'm hoping for lots of fuzz and noise and heavier drums.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 10:54 (fourteen years ago) link
If I listen to the leak, then I'll be bored of the record when it comes out, and not get around to buying it. Which - and I know this is old fashioned - I really think is bad form. :-(

Good for you. No more spoilers from me.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:06 (fourteen years ago) link
:-(
just because spoilers annoy me doesn't mean I don't want to hear them.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:07 (fourteen years ago) link
idk if it's leaked, i'm listening to a promo, and yeah it's basically pretty hairy and rocky, not even krautrocky specifically. not for me. this is not opulent music :(
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Sauerkraut is so krautrock the title even makes a joke about it! Krautrock isn't meant to be opulent, or am I misreading your point?
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Put your promo in the post and send it to me. I will even write the review for you. :-P
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Krautrock has a different idea of what "opulence" is supposed to mean. As a reaction to all that post-war austerity, it's opulence on the cheap. Whether that means all flowing beards and hair or shiny silver boxes of technology depends on whether you're from Dusseldorf or Berlin?

wonder if he was playing bits off this on sunday night, when i saw him play a set on a balcony as the sun went down. the stuff i didn't know, it was good!
― eau de humanity (haitch), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link
oh my point was more that other lindstrøm stuff - even ii - is a ton more opulent than this.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:22 (fourteen years ago) link
I tend to think of Lindstrom & PT as opposites - 80s:70s, cocaine:weed, precise:loose, synthetic:organic - and I keep coming down on PT's side. Lindstrom's relentless shiny opulence gets a bit cloying.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Either of those extremes gets fairly boring fairly quickly without the opposite to provide counterpoint.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I've got more tolerance for PT's extremes. His long, winding remixes are sublime.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:28 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm coming down on the lindstrøm side for each of those
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't want it to be opulent. I want it to be sweaty and dirty.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Stop biting my style, DC.
Anyway, who says sweat and dirt can't be opulent in their proper place?

Yeah, I'm hoping for an album full of White Diamond remixes.

― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 12:47 (fourteen years ago) link
it's basically pretty hairy and rocky, not even krautrocky specifically
not seein where this is coming from. it is extremely krauty, i'm very much digging it, and generally i tend to be far less tolerant than most of krautless rock.

haven't heard the whole shebang yet but I'm really liking the "wendy not walter" track on here:http://www.wavesatnight.com/2010/02/20/prins-thomas/
for those who have heard the album: is "wendy not walter" a track that it makes sense to gauge the rest of the album with? it doesn't really mesh with the "dirty, sweaty, hairy" comments on the thread imo.
this pic is def pretty sweaty, tho:

"Wendy Not Walter" <- didn't a prominent ILX0r get sued for this kind of thing? I call bullshit.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:52 (fourteen years ago) link
on what?

On that song title, duh.
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:54 (fourteen years ago) link
(The song, however, is doing it to me in the eardrum.)
((Agree it is neither dirty nor sweaty nor hairy, though. It is a shiny and wonderful diskomiks as expected))
― There's Always Been A Dance Element To (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Song title not bullshit. Track unrepresentatively shiny.
― gotanynewsstory? (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 18:11 (fourteen years ago) link
cool. nice to know there will be some shiny to go along with all the hairy.

Prins Thomas (from the interview linked upthread): "I’m doing an album with The Mole" :DDD
that's really exciting, as i've been playing the new PT album and The Mole's For the Lost/There's Hope nonstop for the past few days (also Etienne Jaumet's Night Music, which is fucking awesome--produced by Carl Craig)

RA photoshopped that shirt to say "Adult Oriented Disco", which would be equally as good.
