Eskimo, from what i understood, has just finalized a US distribution deal with Forced Exposure -- although the fruits aren't yet available to the public. i do NOT think this applies to vinyl though. I've still got Turkish Delight in stock on 12" here at Amoeba SF, and i've just re-ordered the L&PT full length on vinyl. haven't heard anything about CDs yet, nor have I been offered the new single from any of my distros yet. will keep yas posted.

in fact, it's kind of funny. when i first started the thread my apt had been robbed at the very beginning of the month, and a record bag with all my hot/new/promo shit was stolen. i think the VERY first things i replaced, and within a week or two, was the L&PT stuff in my bag. everything else almost didn't matter.

I hope Feedelity continues the relationship with ClickGroove (or Beatport or one of the high-bitrate stores) despite going on iTunes so impoverished laptop jocks like myself can continue to support. The 128K AAC files from iTunes sound pretty rough on a sound system.

Yes! That track is amazing, and so is Olav Brekke & Sideshow Jogge's "Gul Boss". The non-L&PT-related stuffreally holds its own.

we are talking about simplifying outlines, building new forms out of old that are ever more pared-down, stripped back, and functional, opening up vast spaces (remember, in ancient art emptiness and blankness - the bottomless bass chasms between bongos and handclaps in dub-disco, the vacuous krautrock grooves of lindstrom + gang - signified the presence of the divine and the sublime) while retaining constructions that are upright and supportive. like a vase, or a column.

Re the pop thing, I'd probably rather listen to the neptunes or sugababes or hard-fi, or something that's unashamedly pop 40 than some sub-recreation of 80s pop by Richard X or whatever. In the case of the neptunes it's probably more new sounding than an lot of dance music these days.Electro seemed a breath of fresh air after domination by funky house, but now it's just another boring mainstream sound.
― shiny star, Monday, 27 February 2006 07:10 (eighteen years ago) link
this makes no sense. richard x produced a lot of the sugababes' stuff, incl. their biggest pop hits!
― geeta (geeta), Monday, 27 February 2006 07:14 (eighteen years ago) link
as far as neptunes/sugababes go, maybe you do "get" pop. i'm not sure anybody (even ivan smagghe) would argue that what they're doing is as "new" or "exciting" as the human league - if you had lived through it. don't get caught in the trap a historicism. it'd have been just as easy for frank zappa to lampoon the ramones or new york dolls or whatever in the 1970s by recording "ruben + the jets" ("redundant piano triplets"!!!) (he lived through it, too, after all, cruising el cajon in a bread truck blasting bubblegum) and it would be just as wrong.
as far as stripping back / minimalism / tradition go ... not sure how you are going to defend relief here ... whatever cajmere wants to say about it (mr "i've heard a million acid tracks and frankly it's boring now") i'm not sure how you could characterize relief outside of sticking to tradition, functionalised
