Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

Song title not bullshit. Track unrepresentatively shiny.

cool. nice to know there will be some shiny to go along with all the hairy.

have no idea what the lawsuit stuff means

momus got sued for a song about wendy carlos

who was born walter carlos

ah, had never heard that

is that why the eyepatch

eye for an eye

eye for a penis morelike.

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)

lol shirts v much in character

haha he was wearing that shirt when i saw him dj in LA

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

hahaha

would wear

should be the title for the new lp

"80s:70s, cocaine:weed, precise:loose, synthetic:organic" I think I like this assessment. I hear more new wave, even Jam & Lewis in Lindstrom than in Prins thomas.

we were just comparing the L&C album to the (Jam & Lewis-produced) SOS Band on the other thread!

re that new Prins Thomas 'Wendy Not Walter' track: I'm pretty sure Waves At Night are actually streaming Duff Disco's 'Red Hot' which samples the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and not a new Prins Thomas track

prins thomas fact mix

wow, jean luc ponty & pat metheny

i wish fact mixes were longer...

that FACT mix blows my mind

the Prins Thomas remix of "Baby Can't Stop" is also blowin my mind

This is a lot better than L&PT II on first listen, much more direct and less noodly. Wendy Not Walter is immense.

oh man, I've gotta listen to this.

been jamming reinterpretations while cooking lately. it rules.

BiS w/ Prins

So the Prins Thomas album is out today - £5.49 on iTunes if that is how you get your music.

PT s/t is pretty good on first listen. I'll tread gingerly around the Krautrock comparisons as I'm no expert, but I do hear a lot of Neu! in a couple of tracks. Closer to L&PT II than Major Swellings sound-wise (well, duh) but I can see myself coming back to this more often than I will to II. "Wendy Not Walter" is lovely.

"Nattønsket" is my jam. Great album. I've totally come around to II in the last couple of months. In the wrong mood it's oodledoodle but when I'm a bit strung out it's a soothing listen.

So how come iTunes is telling me I can't have it until 5th April?

lent

Oh, you.

Does iTunes do presale? Because it looks like it's going to let me buy it buy I don't want to click confirm and pay my money until I know I'll have it.

However, the Time & Space Machine album, which I know *is* out this week, is nowhere to be seen. CONFUSEMENT.

Oh. It is actually downloading now. I kept thinking they were gonna yank the MP3s away from me at the last minute.

EXCITERATION.

I have to go to Rough Trade to get the TASM album, though, as I want that bonus disc coz Richard Norris's mixes are always so amazing.

liked the PT on first listen but it didn't wow me. neu! comparison is otm, but from a production standpoint, I actually kept thinking about solo michael rother while listening cuz the PT album is such a smooth take on the krautrock sound.

have to listen more, obviously.

and I loved L&PT II from my very first listen fwiw.

So far it's all about Snakemusic and erm... whatever the name of the last track that's playing right now is.

See what I mean by these leaks/advanced copies destroying discussion on ILX?

Pre-Release talk: 50+ posts (don't even want to go back and view all to see exactly how many)

Post-Release talk: 9 posts

This makes this messageboard really not fun for those of us who are not on PR lists and don't listen to leaks.

That comparison is a bit unfair as the pre-release period (on this thread) lasted from Feb 9 to March 29 - give it some time, maybe more people will talk about it when they buy it in the weekend.

just posted an interview with Prins Thomas on my blog, as he asked me to scribe his bio for the album.

that FACT mix blows my mind

Following all the recommendations on ILX and elsewhere, I'm now listening to II for the first time (having actually bought it a few months back).

First impression: Ozric Tentacles. Not exactly the initial reaction I was expecting...

i guess...? i'm hearing more alan parsons project

agree w/ matt DC on the PT solo effort, floated my boat more than L+PT II which i just found a touch too jammy. more streamlined grooves on this.

I wish the Prins Thomas album had slightly less weedy drums.

Having conducted some more research, I'm finding the Lindstrom and Christabelle album far more agreeable.

The new Diskjokke is an excellent album in roughly the same genre (as Lindstrøm, in particular)
