oh man, what a tacky looking record.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 17 July 2006 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

Agreed Ronan, that Petter track is just right.

"seriously guys, this "balance 005" mix (which is like years old now) is rather predictable, isn't it??? "

Vahid it's a four year old prog mix! How unpredictable can it be?!?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 17 July 2006 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

good call

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 00:33 (nineteen years ago)

the balance mix is aight but its not wooshy enough for me

nothing's really wooshy enough for me

someday im just gonna have to start making the dance music i want to hear

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

i didn't like it on saturday night very much when i wanted to hear a baby ford CD but i liked it much better last night when i started that "recommend me music like steve hillage / jean michael jarre / e2-e4" thread.

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

b-b-but Baby Ford is on it!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

"or the locodice/villalobos mix i just bought. am i missing the point? "

This is good isn't it, I especially love that second housey track on the Villalobos mix.

"someday im just gonna have to start making the dance music i want to hear"

Jess descriptions plz.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:17 (nineteen years ago)

yes baby ford is on it for a whole 1:19 but his monotone robotic bass jam is just used as a dj tools.

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:21 (nineteen years ago)

in this instance tim i think i mean incredibly light and fluffy and airy and wooshy trance-style stuff, like, i dunno, "the difference it makes" remix but even more, uh, wooshy.

also, i dont think this is possible but somehow driving and lighter-than-air at the same time.

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

giant rave anthems made out of compressed oxygen

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

Jess it doesn't really fit your description but seriously have you heard "In White Rooms" yet?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:29 (nineteen years ago)

or maybe gas's pop compressed into riffs and stabs

xpost: no, what is?

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:29 (nineteen years ago)

also maybe suburban knight's "midnight sunshine" with way overloaded lush pads behind it

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

basically i want to feel like i'm in a bouncy castle made of cotton candy

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

jess wants timo maas

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

It's the big trancey track from the Booka Shade album, like "Mandarine Girl" but with something of the emotional epicness of the Superpitcher mix of "The Difference It Makes" and it's own special "things will never be as perfect as they were at this particular moment" brand of nostalgic melancholy.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

his innermost desire: to drive a porsche, and park it outside of a pilates gym, and blast incredibly light and fluffy and airy and wooshy homemade trance-style stuff from the speakers, and thus pick up 35 year old blonde cokeheads

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

i recommend the b-side to the new Speicher by Tom Pooks for maximum cotton candy effect.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:35 (nineteen years ago)

It's so much easier being gay, this music is already playing while we're already having random anonymous sex, no elaborate stunts involving porsches required.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:36 (nineteen years ago)

haha i think i do want timo maas

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:39 (nineteen years ago)

except without all the pesky drums

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 01:45 (nineteen years ago)

These days I picture Tim walking the streets with a big sign that says: "Submit to 'In White Rooms' or the world will end!!" ;)

Too bad i can't really, really feel its might (and I try all the remixes too.)

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

"These days I picture Tim walking the streets with a big sign that says: "Submit to 'In White Rooms' or the world will end!!" ;)"

Sadly I haven't even heard the original played out yet! My party lifestyle is currently in abeyance.

I think partly it's just that "In White Rooms" and The Knife album are the only 2006 music I've felt deeply emotionally connected to (Ashlee Simpson's album excluded b/c of 2005 release date). There's other stuff I've loved but this is what has squeezed my heart. The connection is trance obv.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 01:27 (nineteen years ago)

i gotta say tim, i wasnt feeling in white rooms on first cursory listen today, but ill give it a few more spins tomorrow

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 01:36 (nineteen years ago)

I was underwhelmed at first actually - of the first few tracks I heard from Movements I initially preferred both "Night Falls" and "Pong Pang". "In White Rooms" just sounded like "Mandarine Girl" minus the noisy sounds.

Having said that I honestly don't know whether you'll love it Jess. Our tastes diverge a bit more than they used to these days it seems.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 01:49 (nineteen years ago)

two months pass...

um ...

what did we decide about "At The Controls"??

i've been listening to it this morning, not sure i'm convinced. seems like a misuse of harmonia.

but damn, that nathan fake / apparat track is the loveliness.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

i've only listened to the first disc though. maybe the second is more like it.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

holden - "lump" is incredible. i can't understand why this song hasn't gotten more discussion. it's sort of windowlicker part 2, but creepier and sad and almost as fun to dance to.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

i see i said the same thing in march.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Not really germane to the thread, but MANDY are doing the next At the Controls mix, it's out in a couple weeks i think.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 05:05 (nineteen years ago)

Excellent! And Radio Slave are doing an Eskimo mix! Presents for everyone.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 05:10 (nineteen years ago)

i'm glad the whole react->resist transition has been smooth

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 05:19 (nineteen years ago)

er the react-resist transition

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 05:19 (nineteen years ago)

please be joking

― jergins (jergins), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 07:14 (nineteen years ago)

It looks great, ignore Vahid's ~~grapes~~ gripes.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

it looks like one good disc w/ a lot of filler around it. i like the 2nd half of the 1st disc and the 1st half of the 2nd disc.

weirdly enough, that's almost EXACTLY how i feel about holden's mix, too!! i can barely get any interest going in the weird IDM / triphop shenanigans at the start of the first disc or second discs. i wish he'd edited the more propulsive parts of the mix together into one seamless whole ... i'd start w/ "anita berber" and stop again after the apparat track ... then maybe start AFTER "xtal" on the 2nd disc and go to "nazi trance fuck off".

that'd make a tight 80 minute mix.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 07:24 (nineteen years ago)

i take it back - i'm into it now. it's good music for foggy weather.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Thursday, 28 September 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

I was really disappointed that the CD of Holden's At The Controls mix differs from the promo -- I don't think this is reflected on Discogs or anywhere else. The CD is missing the second and third tracks that were on the promo!

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 28 September 2006 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

The first CD, I mean. It's missing the Plastikman and Massive Attack tracks, if I remember correctly.

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 28 September 2006 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

it is?

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Thursday, 28 September 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

Rockers Hi Fi - Push Push (M.A.N.D.Y Mix)
