i like this but not nuts about lights and music, which is kinda boring?

It's the single?
― wilter, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost. YES
The rest of the album is better.

He kind of goes in and out of his australian accent which is annoying, but i guess I'm looking for that.

I've a terrible rip, but what I've heard is just gorgeous. If the singer really says "I get so horny that I fall in your dreams tonight" in "So Haunted," it's my lyric of the year.

It's all over slsk now in 256

lights and music REALLY reminds me of rotund-era severed heads

(and that's a good thing)

he's probably saying "i get so haunted"
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 23:40 (sixteen years ago) link
ugh
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link
i thought it was a reference to 2 live crew's 'me so haunted'

out there on the ice again

the b&w cover/colour overlay slipcase is gorgeous designwise, but I've only taken the thing out three times and it's already worn a huge groove in the front of the digipak

i swear it said march 22 on their myspace
― winston, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Release dates shift around a lot these days, I think.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Mebbes that was Australia release date. Coz I've seen billboards saying "out now".
― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link
it was for the online store limited signed copy bullshit
― winston, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:45 (sixteen years ago) link
bullshit on bullshit, it's been out for a couple of weeks and debuted at #1 on this week's charts.

am extremely impressed at the #1 debut
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 02:42 (sixteen years ago) link
They've advertised it heavily.
― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 02:44 (sixteen years ago) link
And so they should have, it's great.
modular's marketing weight is considerable. not to put down his very entertaining record but it's tremendous marketing clout that put muscles into the top 20
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 02:48 (sixteen years ago) link
everyone wanted the free bag
― haitch, Thursday, 3 April 2008 02:56 (sixteen years ago) link
i didn't know there was a free bag :( does anyone want to sell theirs?
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:00 (sixteen years ago) link
can't download a tote bag!
I'd expect the Presets album to do at least as well as this when it comes out
― energy flash gordon, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:20 (sixteen years ago) link
they pulled the bag stunt last time around though
― energy flash gordon, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:23 (sixteen years ago) link
it was heartening to see as many modular bands in the aussie dance top 20 charts as ministry of sound
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:29 (sixteen years ago) link
maybe they'll move onto other types of luggage for the new presets record.
― haitch, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:30 (sixteen years ago) link
i dled this cuz i love hearts on fire but alot of it sounds really mainstream & boring
― and what, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:31 (sixteen years ago) link
it sounds like shit you would hear on the hills or something
basically needs more human league/new order and less sounding like the killers
wtf 'mainstream' you're hardly some cheerleader for indie
(i have not heard the whole record)
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:32 (sixteen years ago) link
im a cheerleader for cut copy joints that sound more like synthpop and less like 3 doors down
― and what, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ok
― electricsound, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ok it gets better i like far away + so haunted
― and what, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Far Away is so good
― wilter, Thursday, 3 April 2008 03:39 (sixteen years ago) link
one of the MOS ones is a local act on a sub-dist imprint too
― energy flash gordon, Thursday, 3 April 2008 05:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Just hearing this today and man hearts on fire and strangers in the wind are fucking great.
― Clay, Thursday, 3 April 2008 23:00 (sixteen years ago) link
the album's growing on me (agree a touch overlong) - i hated lights + music when i first heard it (and still dislike the chorus), but it sounds better in the context of the album. wtf at 3 doors down comparisons?
― __CB__, Friday, 4 April 2008 14:26 (sixteen years ago) link
The chorus of So Haunted reminds me of ELO. In a good way.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 9 April 2008 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
seriously loving this.... far away sounds like erasure
― and what, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
only complaint is dudes voice on some of the cuts production is A+
