The Studio - West Coast

Thing is "Part Balearic, part cosmic, part new wave, part Krautrock" is a perfect description of the Mondays. So it might be a matter of shared influences. I mean, it was Oakenfold in his post-summer of love ibizan incarnation who produced pills and thrills, you know. Have you heard Bob's Your Uncle?

Studio def have more lead guitar and the slight reggaeish thing.

Anyway, it's a great record.

There;s definitely a faint thuggishness about the vocals sometimes, that may be a borrowed thing, too. Leaning on a vocal style from another language without quite realising the feel - maybe you US/Aus people don't pick that up, but it's (and I shudder to write this) almost reminiscent of Hard-Fi or something at times.

OK - Studio has been doing some great remixes (or remakes as they call it themselves)recently. Shout Out Louds "Imposssible", Rubies "The Keyes" and most recently the B-side to A Mountain of Ones new 12 "Brown Piano". The latter can be found here:

Good stuff while you're waiting for a follow-up to West Coast/Yearbook 1

I don't know wtf "balearic disco" is, but I'm surprised no one has compared this to Out Hud.

i cant believe you didnt hear this til now

(because its so jaymc-ish!)

I think I must've overlooked the thread because the name of the group/album sounded so generic.

too bad you found it

cause now yr talking about out hud and shit

u had to realize a lot of this stuff doesnt have quite the same resonance when taken out of balaeric context

Out Hud is awesome! RIP.

I mean, Tim mentioned Arthur Russell in the opening post, and Out Hud were compared to Arthur Russell a lot, too.

6 degrees of out hud

Cutty is in Holy Hail.
Cat from Fannypack is in Holy Hail.
Fannypack recorded on Tommy Boy Records.
Capone-N-Noreaga recorded on Tommy Boy Records.
The Neptunes produced Noreaga.
The Neptunes are in the band N*E*R*D.
The DFA remixed N*E*R*D.
James Murphy of the DFA is in LCD Soundsystem.
Tyler Pope used to be LCD Soundsystem.
Tyler Pope was in Out Hud.

way too many degrees, you can get there in two jumps

update .xls lazy zing

Did you suck Nic Offer's dick or something?

sigh

Cutty has used both LCD screens and soundsystems
the words "LCD" and "soundsystem" combine to form "LCD Soundsystem"
LCD Soundsystem has a song called "All My Friends"
All my friends like Studio
Cutty plays music in studios.

holy hail is on the same label as !!! side project free blood

The DFA remixed N*E*R*D.

this is a cheap connection. ethan does rjd2/no limit blends but that doesn't count in six degrees of master p

I don't understand your last sentence at all.

Does the fact that the DFA remix of "She Wants to Move" was released on one of their official remix albums make it less cheap?

i want to know that james murphy actually hung out w/ pharell in the sauna or it doesn't count

where is gavin

lol @ this turn of conversation

wtf deej.

wtf deej all three of you.

sorry, didn't mean to turn this into rolling snap

they're remixing the new kylie single?!?!

!

A Mountain of One - Collected Works

Received in the post today.

Tear-jerkingly fantastic. And very earnest too, which is refreshing in today's super cynical climate.

Sniffle.

their "remake" of the kylie single is great! but not as good as their remake of "brown piano."

its the same formula, too

http://www.discobelle.net/2007/10/18/studio-version/

jangly guitars make every song good!

still #1 album of the year.

i agree

kylie links are dead. can someone leo?

thx max

haha thx max.

got this on ILM recommendation and side 2 is the one that really blows my mind, I love those cutup vocals.

Listening to this album last month, on headphones, with a beer, on a Balearic beach watching the sun go down over the sea = probably my most contented moment of the year. I unresevedly fucking love this album now.

Damn, I should have had this with me in Hawaii. Oh well.

gr8080 was playing it in his car at one point, though, so that worked.

life's a beach, ILX

OMG that Kylie mix. Can these guys please become pop producers immediately. Surely Goldfrapp or somebody are looking for a new sound rightaboutnow.

fuck this kylie remix is awesome.

Yeah, it's like the best possible outcome you could expect from the phrase "Studio remix Kylie". I love how they make their sound just that much lighter and airier for her so that you can hear the pop song beating at the center of the remix, while not sacrificing a bit of their own atmospheric attractions. That guitar refrain is glorious.

Also, people who like the spacier/percussive end of Studio's stuff should really check out Deadbeat's Resident Advisor podcast.

someday in the future there will be a plugin in reason that just cranks out "studio remakes" of whatever songs you want and adds that awesome guitar and beat and i will never listen to anything else again
