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.
― Delia & Daphne & Celeste (Masonic Boom), Thursday, 1 April 2010 09:50 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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...

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.
― RESPECT A JOEY NEGRO (haitch), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 08:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish the Prins Thomas album had slightly less weedy drums.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 09:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Having conducted some more research, I'm finding the Lindstrom and Christabelle album far more agreeable.
― Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 11:36 (fourteen years ago) link
The new Diskjokke is an excellent album in roughly the same genre (as Lindstrøm, in particular)

― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm not finding it in the usual places but can't wait to hear the album now.
― skip, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link
diskjokke and bjorn torske are both kinda underrated imo
also, xp- pt's drum sound has never really done it for me, either. i love nearly all of his albums, and the new one may very well be his best, but his drumming is probably the worst thing about it. are they just mic'd poorly? or is it because he's playing relatively loose for the tight, motorik-style aesthetic he seems to be going for?
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:46 (fourteen years ago) link
new diskjokke! sick
― kill whiney (cutty), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:48 (fourteen years ago) link
bjorn torske's Trobbel album is seriously underrated. One of the most interesting techno albums i've ever heard.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
geir, now i'm confused. what diskjokke are you referring to? not sure there is a "new" one per se?
― kill whiney (cutty), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:51 (fourteen years ago) link
man, i really dig pt's drum sound (haven't heard his new album yet, though). dig the looseness.. i'd be bummed if he made the drums louder, tighter, more rigid.. the way they sit in the mix really lets the tracks breathe, imo
― hobbes, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:53 (fourteen years ago) link
he's obviously playing to a click but not really sticking it
― kill whiney (cutty), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 23:57 (fourteen years ago) link
^ don't get me wrong. i think the sound is deliberate. and they obviously do soooomething for the overall vibe of his albums. but sometimes the looseness also feels like... idk, a struggle? like he's trying to play catch up to the rest of the proceedings, and sometimes it's the most chaotic part of the whole sound. and that's not usually what i want when i listen to blissed-out stonery proggy kraut-influenced jams
haha xp
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 29 April 2010 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link
i like pt's singles with drum machines more than the live drum stuff.

There is a new album out in Norway three days ago, but I know some of the tracks have been around for some time.
― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 29 April 2010 02:59 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah rosenrod has been out since last summer. what's the title of the new record? not much info anywhere.
― kill whiney (cutty), Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Joachim’s sophomore LP, entitled En Fin Tid is out now in his native Norway. If you are lucky enough to live there, head down to Platekompaniet and pick up a copy. If you live in the sticks, point your browser here: www.platekompaniet.no
And if you want to read a rather complimentary (5/6) review of his record head over to Lydverket: www.nrk.no/lydverket/en-hyggelig-dag-pa-spacedisko-kontor…

Looking at the Norwegian reviews, I am puzzled at how they mention a lot of references, but never the most obvious ones (apart from the other Oslo spacedisco acts). Like, one review namechecks Eno and krautrock, but no mention of these guys:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOh4B7zPx70https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpJ9znsDE3I

maybe my favorite Lindstrøm show so far (out of 5-6). the new stuff is exciting and weird. i kept thinking of the Residents at some points. and then he dropped in the forthcoming Harvey single to boot.
― beta blog, Friday, 11 February 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I've only seen two shows but yeah I thought this was better than the other one I saw (a few years ago at studio b)
the opening ambient / krauty segment morphing into tribal thump drums and disco was pretty great, there were a lot of different styles. best part for me was when "grand ideas" came in. also think I heard some of "Tirsdagsjam" at one point
by "new stuff" is that the ones with all the vocal loops?
