Well, you're selling me with that one.

Ok, so I'm jonesing for the Volume sets, particularly the first two. I want trade and stuff.

― Leee (Leee), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

You can get the Volume's on SoulSeek pretty easily.. I've got the first one, the second one and the fourth one.. the third one has eluded me thus far. If you have no luck finding them there, e-mail me and I can burn you some CDs or we can trade or something.

― Ian Johnson (elmo oxygen), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I have all the mp3s, but being a purist (or wannabe audiophile) I'd prefer to get the real CDRs. Though it's a good question: are the 'official' CDRs burned from mp3s?

Urgghh.... I totally spaced on On The Ellipse for those year end threads. Wow. But that one should be up there. This band was amazing when I saw them in either very late August or very early September (first show I went to in NY--at Northsix). It's good in a way that requires drugs though--stupid self-congratulatory stoner talk. Kinda troooo, though.

S: "Night of Frogs" ; "Despite The Roar" ; the long one on Bufalo Alvarius Amen.

i'd really like to see them somewhere i could lay on the floor and close my eyes. i regret not seeing them in an acquaintance's apartment when i had the chance.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Friday, 9 January 2004 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i would like to see them in an acquaintance's aquarium if i had the chance.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 9 January 2004 05:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I had the once in a life time opportunity to see Bardo Pond headline an outdoor show extremely odd lineup (Peaches, Bonnie Prince Billy w/ Mick Turner = Gitan Jali, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, The Holmes Brothers, Jello Biafra, Mamadou Diabate, Santiago Jiminez, Jr., Nels Cline Singers, Faust & Shortee) at this free benefit for public power a few summers ago (circa set and setting) and the organizer had arranged it so that while Bardo Pond played, the sun set behind the golden gate bridge in the background... it was really amazing.

during sonic youth's set at all tomorrow's parties at UCLA a few years ago, a man and a woman behind me mentioned something about not being able to see so I stepped aside and offered to stand behind them instead and i automatically recognized them as clint and isobel from BP. i mentioned to them the above show and they said it was the most rewarding show they've ever played due to the "setting"(my quotes and bad pun).

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 9 January 2004 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha. hipster fandom!!!! i < 3 u gygfax.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 9 January 2004 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, it was mellow and they were (no offense to BP!) probably surprised to be recognized.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 9 January 2004 05:39 (twenty-two years ago)

exactly!!!!!! it's a COOL THING.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 9 January 2004 05:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Bardo have so much non-album stuff out there, it's taking me back to the early internet days of tracking things down I'M A FANBOY AGAIN ZAH!

Ok so I found a used copy of Bufo Alvarius, and "Adhesive" rips my head off, but the rest of the album I find shambling. That includes "Amen." Why do people like "Amen," when "From the Sky" is more the much better?

Vol. VI is awesome! Best of the series, I think: laid-back, blissful drone with monsters creeping just underneath.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

Bah, I didn't even realize there was a Vol. V

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Friday, 23 December 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

"Destroying Angel" ... GREAT choice for the opener.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 23 December 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

What's REALLY good is that Third Troll disc. Yall heard that shit?

― roger, Friday, 23 December 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Third Troll is aight but I like Vapour Theories and 500mg better!

― c(''c) (Leee), Friday, 23 December 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

got questions for bardo pond? post them here. i need inspiration

― rizzx (rizzx), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 11:14 (twenty years ago)

This is not a band I expected to be around for 15 years.

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 14:18 (twenty years ago)

why not? just jamming, you know

― rizzx (rizzx), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 14:35 (twenty years ago)

What's REALLY good is that Third Troll disc. Yall heard that shit?

I only have that on mp3 but i do have the Prairie Dog Flesh cdr.
What do you think of that?

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 15:02 (twenty years ago)

LW: Is there anything you want to plug that'll be coming out around March?

MG: The new album, which is called Ticket Crystals. We're going to put a vinyl record out on Siltbreeze, just getting that finished up. That'll be hopefully coming out around then.

LW: That'll be an entirely Bardo Pond record?

MG: Yeah, an entirely different Bardo Pond record. It's basically from this one night of improvisations. That's going to be a completely improvised record. And then, we're going to have the Modern Containment series, we're going to get that done, and that's about it. We're going to have another EP that's going to be me, as 500mg, and Clint, as Takeda, and maybe a Bardo tune that's going to be available at the Terrastock show. It's going to be a CD EP. That'll be there, that'll probably be online too. We'll probably have another Alumbrados record, maybe another Vapour Theories record, just to get out more of mine, too. That's probably about it.

― c(''c) (Leee), Saturday, 21 January 2006 04:15 (twenty years ago)

lemur housed. i love these guys, and cherish them as an unsung Philly institution.

― sympathy for the underdog (blackmail.is.my.life), Saturday, 21 January 2006 04:33 (twenty years ago)

GREAT band.

I've been listening to Dilate recently, I can't make up my mind about BardoPond.

― Serge Protecteur (nordicskilla), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

I rate Dilate pretty low! It is all about, in descending order:

Lapsed
On The Ellipse
Set and Setting
Amanita

― c(''c) (Leee), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:47 (twenty years ago)

I guess that's good to know. I find it a bit boring, to be honest.

― Serge Protecteur (nordicskilla), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

i used to like dilate a lot more than i do now.
i think i like on the ellipse the best, now. maybe. i'd rate amanita over set & setting. their earlier, heavier/noisier stuff is great also.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

this album is going to be amazing, i can't wait for my copy to arrive

― rizzx (Rizz), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Dilate is definitely their worst album. On the Ellipse is easily their best.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:53 (twenty years ago)

I think I've done this on another thread, but anyway:

On the Ellipse
Lapsed
Bufo Alvarus
Set and Setting
Amanita
Dilate

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:54 (twenty years ago)

"Two Planes" is all you need from Dilate.

Christina Charalambides is singing backup on "Destroying Angel"!

― c(''c) (Leee), Sunday, 29 January 2006 20:06 (twenty years ago)

That track is really beautiful, I'm glad they're finally shifting courses a bit. I'm excited about the new record now.

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 29 January 2006 20:13 (twenty years ago)

I like dilate. Then again I like pretty much everything they've done.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Sunday, 29 January 2006 20:17 (twenty years ago)

the collab w tom carter was fabulous.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 29 January 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was the most meandering thing they've ever done, and I don't mean that in a good way. I don't mind listening to it if I'm zoned out of something, but I can't engage with it in any way.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 29 January 2006 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Dilate is awesome. I spent a summer doing bong hits and getting on the streetcar to work listening to that record. What's this about a Carter collab?

Brand new album from Philadelphia’s much loved neo-space rock stoner drone outfit.
A euphoric transcendental journey to a mountain top nirvana, a psychedelic tapestry that slowly unwinds as they travel onwards into the inner mind.
A 40-minute opus delivered from a hail of reverb soulfully caressed by a ceremonial flute, that makes way for a shroud of ‘Weld’—era Neil Young fog.
Bardo Pond is your rather ruffled tour guide to this far off place, this distant sense of wonderment at the crossroads with bewilderment.
Loved and lauded by the late Lou Reed and his wife Laurie Anderson, Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai and many more and acclaimed in the music press as such...

Just got Peace on Venus, released in 2013. So good. I've only got about ten or so BP albums but I've never really heard them put a foot wrong

― Duke, Monday, 11 June 2018 18:16 (seven years ago)

lol "only." But yes, more or less agree there.

― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Monday, 11 June 2018 20:32 (seven years ago)

I just picked up Volume 8 which I had no idea existed until I saw it in a shop recently. Sounds great so far - extra murky.

― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 5 July 2018 00:15 (seven years ago)

Vol. 8 moved the needle (well, barely) on the other thread: BARDO POLLND

And yes, it is awesome.

Just snagged a clean used copy of Amanita from '96 – shame it's never been repressed, as it holds up quite well.

Still bummed I missed them in Chicago a couple years back. Only Philly & NYC shows since.

...carry on.

They haven’t come back since Covid have they? I saw them at least twice in the 00s as part of bills with other bands I wanted to see but I didn’t really appreciate them…I think at that time in my life I was looking for the songs and totally missing the sounds (esp the guitar) but if they came back now I would very much appreciate them.

― Slim is an Alien, Friday, 10 May 2024 02:12 (two years ago)

I recall seeing a FB photo of Clint and one of the Gibbons brothers playing somewhere in Philadelphia last year, but it wasn't a full Bardo show (or perhaps something that would be an official side project). I hope everyone noticed that Volume 9 was released in February - https://bardopondmusic.bandcamp.com/album/volume-9

Would love to see them play again.
