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

As far as L&PT go: how many people on dancefloors have actually heard (heard of, even) the "space disco" it rips off? I don't think I have! And as I said upthread I think it's pretty different to Faze Action or Nuphonic, a lot of which I also like.
Also... I love Villalobos but I'm now getting really really sick of him being namechecked as the "token" innovator in current electronic music, he is quickly becoming the German Kanye West or even Outkast in this regard.

-- Tim Finney (tfinne...), Today.
i half agree with you, tim. villalobos may be on his way to token innovator status like kanye & outkast but i don't think that they have ever really taken solid ground and tilted it at a 45 degree angle with their music the way that he has.

I do think the new hyper-maximal minimal stuff is the most interesting stuff around now, but ok I'm being too purist and theoretical about cosmic disco.

Ha ha yes this is totally OTM. I don't know if this has ever happened before in quite the same way, maybe not since erm "techno"! Or "hardocre" maybe?
