The Studio - West Coast

wow i didn't know parlour was connected to information/studio in any way. the "amor/capriccio" 7" was prettty awesome, can't wait to see what they do with synth wave tracks!

have parlour done anything other than that one 7"?

if anyone uses last.fm, the "the studio" channel is pretty good ^_^

i can't even find them on discogs

the D. Lissvik album is great, been really groovin on it the past couple days. obviously from the clip there's lots of 'eastern' influences and a few tracks that sound remarkably like Studio but most of it is a bit more exploratory/spacious than the Studio material.

do you have it at Amoeba Mike?

nvm i was too excited, ordered from INF with a poster too!

"do you have it at Amoeba Mike?"

or, do you know when you'll have it?

it comes out on 11/24 according to the one-sheet but I doubt we will see it at Amoeba for another couple weeks at least. will let ya'll know when it's out...

Why doesn't anyone else think "Origin" is super awesome?

"Origin is a "throwaway" piece (well, when you compare its 2 minutes to "Out There"'s 16 minute extravagance) that is nonetheless totally compelling, buzzy rock bass stomp topped by spiderweb guitar and a storm of echoey effects - elegantly dirty, and sounding nothing like the tracks which precede it.

you're not alone

I should note that description doesn't apply to the full glory of "Origin (Shake You Down By The River)" on Yearbook 1.

back to the d. lissvik-- the whole album is so fantastic. sounds like a peyote-fueled jam session with himself

how can i hear this

jaxon's linked to track 5 from it just up there ^^^

i mean ALL OF IT

oh ok yr greedy. yeah i dont know, i want to listen to all of it also. i've ordered it from their website + am now just patiently waiting

has anyone heard the singles from 2001-2 listed here? http://srvc.se/artists/studio/

ppl talk abt them at the beginning of this thread i think, i remember someone saying that they sound like franz ferdinand

yes i downloaded them before oink went down. one has "shake you down by the river" almost exactly as it appears on the 2007 version of the LP "origin (shake you down by the river)"

grady whats yr emales

Also, is there a way to hear the full lenth versions of the tracks that were cut down for the re-issue of "West Coast"?

i finally got the extended 'self service' on slsk the other day

again back to the D. Lissvik lp: i was hoping it would sound like "Indo". and it doesn't.

lol i love how this never ceases to be a point of confusion with this band

fyi, new Windsurf 12" with Studio remix forthcoming on Internasjonal....

Wait a second!! I didn't realize they had 2 songs with the same title, and it's very possible this is the one I'm thinking of.

So, the biggest difference between the 2006 LP and the 2007 2LP is Self Service. The version on the 2006 LP is longer and has more of a baggy Stone Roses beat, riding a little bit more of a consistent groove, whereas the 2007 version is a bit more pop-song-structured, with the steel drums more prominent, calling a bit more attention to its different parts. Definately two completely different recordings. This song also falls into different slots in the track order on the two versions of the album. Love them both; the 2006 version would work better in a DJ set.

The 2006 version of Origin is really only the last two minutes of the 2007 version. The 2007 version is a re-recording of a song on their third 7", Shake You Down By the River, which is why it appears on Yearbook 1 as Origin (Shake You Down By the River). Yet the same version appears on the 2007 2LP as just Origin.

Indo is great on both versions, albeit 4 times as long on the 2007 version. The two sound like they could both be from the same recording.

As far as I can tell, Out There, West Coast, and Life's A Beach! are the same.

Like I said, confusing.

So, while Tim's take upthread is spot on, he was really listening to a different album than most of us are listening to now.

Okay .. my mistake.. it's the one from Yearbook One.. I love this song. LOVE!

Thanks ♪☺♫☻. I'm still confused though.

if you scour this thread... you will find a link to the 2006 LP, courtesy of me.

commencing scour.

yeah if someone wants that d lissvik full length i can pm?

err, email. not sure how ilm works yet apparently

ay psychgawsple hit me up-- m4xr34d at gmail, except with As instead of 4s and E instead of 3

yessssss, i am totally jammin d lissvik. i'm glad i was expecting to be kinda disappointed, so now i'm pleasantly surprised. i love how one-man-jammy it feels, that video posted upthread was really appropriate and funny.

psychgawsple, i've sent email via ILX service. have included lovely gift in email. thx.

is this offer still happening? if you can send a link to t1mgr00mbri✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ that would be so rad (1s and 0s in place of i and oo)

i'm trying to send out that first one still, gmail is taking forevvvvvvvverrrrrr

Hey cutty thank you, the 8:16 version of Self Service sounds like the best track the Happy Mondays never made

requesting 2006 version of "self service" and "no comply" vinyl re-release plzzzzzz

oh my email up there is t1m gr00mbridge at gmail

It's upthread grady, under the "Santana" link

no no no i have the mp3s-- i'm just saying its shitty that the only way i can get those two songs on vinyl is by paying over $100 on ebay/discogs

Oh yes, my reading comprehension was off due to giddyness of finally having the mp3s.

it's being uploaded as we speak, i can't believe i was trying to straight email that zip. like i said, i don't know how this stuff works yet

you all better buy it from mike b, btw

I tend not to talk up the long "Origin" as much as the long "Self Service", perhaps partly because talking up the long "Self Service" confers dorky music cred points. The long versions of both sound a lot more like each other than the short versions, so they're... not interchangeable, but they stand at the centre of the record as twin attempts to totally marry the group's pop song side with tantric longform grooves. Both kinda veer off into the latter completely in their second half with marvelous results.

The long Self Service has that great trancey synth hook that pops up about half way through and is absent from the short one.
