the placement of 'the river' almost at the end is just right.

I'm seeing them this week. I've never seen them/hope they don't suck/am jazzed despite having to find parking.

two months pass...

that first instrumental on 'kill for love', so good. generally a fantastic record, although I have a hard time taking the lonely robot vocoder stuff seriously.

this label seems extremely generous to fans. all the more surprising considering they seem to operate from a blogspot.

Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 00:08 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, they've always given away tons of music.
I was kind of bummed out to read Prof. Genius' comment on the Soundcloud page there, though - it sucks if people aren't getting paid. I LOVE those two tracks of his on that comp.

Walter Galt, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 16:11 (thirteen years ago)

But then it also looks like they resolved this?

In any case, agree that those two tracks are the bomb.

MikoMcha, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 16:33 (thirteen years ago)

Hey guys - that was me (Prof Genius).

Thanks for digging the stuff. Johnny's a good guy. He's correcting that situation. Seems it wasn't really his doing but I will say no more. (bet u can guess).

Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:05 (thirteen years ago)

also - i've made/released lots of stuff since the IDIB releases: soundcloud.com/professorjorge >> some randomness

Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:05 (thirteen years ago)

didn't know you were part of bim marx! good stuff

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 23:58 (thirteen years ago)

Johnny's a good guy

i want to believe this, but several pdxers i've spoken with say... otherwise

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Thursday, 11 October 2012 00:00 (thirteen years ago)

So far so good : )

Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 11 October 2012 02:21 (thirteen years ago)

still rocking your tropical computer system cdr on a regular basis, so awesome. just sayin' :)

willem, Thursday, 11 October 2012 06:53 (thirteen years ago)

Thanks!I'm glad it's still got some life left! Most recent releases on other labels have been less synthpop/Italo flavored. I'll be starting a Bandcamp in a few months that will remedy that. I'll keep you posted!

Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 11 October 2012 13:05 (thirteen years ago)

awesome
pegaso was my fave track on that comp.

nathey, Thursday, 11 October 2012 14:27 (thirteen years ago)

Here's a link that's still active (c. 2009) with free downloads, including the full version of "Pegaso". Have at it since the other label that released that hasn't payed me for it since 2009 as well !

Sorry about that. One of those two links works.

I migh be the only person around here who gives a shit anymore, but J. Jewel put up a mix of unreleased stuff from the Kill For Love sessions: http://soundcloud.com/johnnyjewel/running-from-the-sun

This Is Not An ILX Username (LaMonte), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 03:03 (thirteen years ago)

I give a shit.

Popture, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 07:39 (thirteen years ago)

both of those tracks are pretty solid, not breaking any new ground but i'm not sure i want that anyway

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 07:50 (thirteen years ago)

Chromatics playing for a fashion show and a video with a bunch of models seems really appropriate. Really like the Desire track.

Gukbe, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 08:03 (thirteen years ago)

I'm grossed out that they would want to have anything to do with Karl Lagerfeld, but that's a nice track.

Walter Galt, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 14:56 (thirteen years ago)

where's after dark 2?!
