Pretty much any live video of theirs will feature JE rocking the fuck out, but the vid posted above they're referring to is THIS ONE

I wasn't too fond of either the Container or the Temporal Marauder releases (though I do like the artwork for Temporal Marauder). other than that Spectrum Spools has been unfuckwithable though.

Emm...the other thing about the Spectrum Spools releases is I can't remember which abstract name is which. Temporal Marauder is in my big Spotify list so I've definitely heard it, but I can't say more than that. My favourites have been the Fabric and Mist albums and the Bee Mask retrospective compilation.
― psychedelicatessen (seandalai), Thursday, 29 September 2011 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
My favorite so far is Bee Mask's Canzoni del Laboratorio blah blah... I also like the Mist album a lot. Fabric is nice but hasn't stuck with me. So this Container LP, what is it like?

I headbanged at least as much as yr man up there the one time I saw them
it was probably cringey to watch too but no-one was gonna harsh my buzz

So this Container LP, what is it like?
Beat-based technoid repetition, prickly and odd, murky and visceral at times, too.

the McGuire box is one of my favorite things this year, played that thing a TON. not terribly sold on the new solo LP, it's good, a bit more low-key than i like my mcguire. Does It Look Like I'm Here was and is still one of the best things i've heard in recent years.
and sure it's easy to burn out if you go overboard on anything, emeralds or otherwise. but shame on you if you're collecting dozens of cassette-only releases like a 16 yr old fanboy, then blaming YOUR burnout on the artist. kinda like going to a buffet, then complaining you ate too much afterward. why not pick & choose yr favorite items, and leave satisfied but wanting just slightly more?

Root Strata's Spectrum Spools release is up for order on Experimedia if anyone's been looking to get it. also Boomkat claims to have the new Mark McGuire on white vinyl available now. think I'm going to take a pass on that one though.
― punk rock hyrax (jamescobo), Monday, 3 October 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
Enjoying Container, that whole synthy rave/noise/drone thing reminds me a bit of Neil Campbell's Astral Social Club stuff, but without the slightly Dada edge.

hey london ppl, mark mcguires playing @ the shacklewell arms next friday

Thanks for that.
Now just need to decide whether to go and see him or Bill Orcutt at Oto.
― Super Receptor (Barnaby, Hardly), Tuesday, 4 October 2011 11:55 (twelve years ago) link
I'd see Bill Orcutt
― rizzx, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 13:57 (twelve years ago) link
set will probably be much shorter than McGuire's, so maybe you can catch the end of that as well
― rizzx, Tuesday, 4 October 2011 13:58 (twelve years ago) link
bought Marks Lost album yesterday, bought the Shacklewell tickets today... good timing.

them's fightin' words, m83:
When I go out to see a show now, I want to be blown away, even if I don't like the music. If you watch a band like Depeche Mode, their connection with the audience is just magical. You're not going to see that if you go see Emeralds; I wish Emeralds could be as big as them, but it's a different league. And I don't like people spitting on bigger bands just because they have success or because it's not trendy to listen to the Killers. They have 15,000 people at their shows every night, and they're living the dream.
― ∞th-wave ska (diamonddave85), Thursday, 6 October 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
I clicked through for context but he doesn't really explain why he's comparing Emeralds and Depeche Mode.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 6 October 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
well, they're both bands

It's been more than a week now, but that McGuire show at the Shacklewell Arms was pretty great! He only did three pieces, but he was on for an hour. The second one had this great trick where it built a huge wall of fuzz that got louder and louder until it finally cut out suddenly and this little spidery fingerpicked stuff was the only thing left. I'm not sure if it's on one of his albums, but it was really awesome.

Steve Hauschildt album on Kranky is out. It's pretty!

That Hauschildt record is great, one of my faves of the year (and possibly of the Emeralds camp).

ok, I'm sold
― sleeve, Monday, 14 November 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
Was just listening to this at work and I fell asleep at my desk! Not sure whether to implicate the album or not, and if so whether it's a good or bad thing...
― fun drive (seandalai), Monday, 14 November 2011 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the Hauschildt record is super fabulous

Hey Lex, Daphni mixes right here:

I'm not really a Caribou fan btw (I did like the Daphni record last year though), but those are both pretty great.

Those mixes are soooo good. I'm a Caribou skeptic, Emeralds devotee but those two are just joyous.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
My impression is that these guys basically made a genre out of Pink Floyd's "On The Run".

I can't tell if you're trolling or not but Pink Floyd were not the first people to use synthesizers and sequencers and stuff

― would smash pumpkins (Ówen P.), Thursday, 13 September 2012 11:53 (eleven years ago) link
It's my favorite part of DSOTM! "Why couldn't they just have made the whole thing like that" I often thought. And then lo! there was Emeralds.
It was supposed to be sort of a joke though, along the lines of "someone tell Justin Timberlake that Michael Jackson was an artist, not a genre". Obviously not all Emeralds songs sound like PF, but there are a couple that really do, and those are the ones I like the best.
Sorry if that was ignorant shit.
― Odyssey Dong (how's life), Thursday, 13 September 2012 12:21 (eleven years ago) link
Uh, I don't think it's ignorant shit. Yeah duh PF were not the first to turn on an arpeggiator and solo over it but "On the run" is by far the most visible instance of that trope and "Double Helix" is kind of a dead ringer
