The Massive Attack remix is astonishing, what you would expect from a Luomo remix at first which, naturally, is great, and then it goes on a microrave tip, complete with a couple of outstanding Orbital-style moments. I don't have the words to explain it but some of you do, so please seek it out.
Has anyone else got "Waltz For Your Eyes", the limited 12" on scheinselbständig (sst 5)? Tricky to find but it looks like it's still available at Juno Records. It's not the best thing he's done to be honest, but it has a nice acoustic guitar feel, half r'n'b and half Balearic, and a nice lyric - "Can't look at their eyes anymore, it's you I wanna be living for" - reputedly meant for his loved one. Perhaps the old goat has settled down and doesn't need to elliptically orbit his lyrical purpose any more.
Is the Euro-American release date disparity a pan-Atlantic date formatting confusion? 6/9 means the 6th of September in these parts.
And Matos, do you need any favours doing? Lawns watering? Windows cleaning? Ovens degreasing? Give us a shout, I'm sure I'll think of something you could do for me.

Oh, and I watched Vladislav Delay live few weeks ago. I can't listen to IDM glitch at all any more, and I went just because I was hoping he'd throw in some forthcoming Luomo material in the mix for surprise - all I got was an acapella at the end. The Delay stuff I just can't enjoy and appreciate, but the guy himself was reeeeally into it, swaying in trance and punching the air with every eardrum-rupturing glitch. He also dropped in Tricky's "Christiansands" and "Makes Me Wanna Die" for no apparent reason in the midst of his act (I 've heard that apparently, his three fave albums ever are "Maxinquaye", "Protection" and "No Protection"). And he started off with the intro from the Tweet album! Love the guy.
Also, he's super HOTT!!! Why he chose those old baldhead shots for promo pics mystifies me. He's let some hair down in the meantime, and now looks like the most shaggable, beautifulest scandinavian lovegod ever!

I've heard reports that the album's starting to get around a bit.

One of my fave albums. Reminds me of Barthes.
― nathom, Sunday, 27 January 2019 09:58 (five years ago) link
It's no Vocalcity. Both of them pale next to Karhunainen, however.
― pomenitul, Sunday, 27 January 2019 10:54 (five years ago) link
I guess we don’t look for the same thing in Luomo but this is just no contest for me. Present Lover is super classic, the rest is far behind.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Sunday, 27 January 2019 19:18 (five years ago) link
Karhunainen is great but lol at the idea that it holds a candle to either of the first two luomo albums.
― Tim F, Monday, 28 January 2019 22:40 (five years ago) link
luomo is the only music i've listened to for the last like 3 weeks

Jordan question:
The Weeknd:Vampire Weekend::Luomo:”the rhythm of the saints”?

That doesn't look like the right order for that comparison.

I would still love to see it explained

The next Luomo album, 2003's The Present Lover, was a major label misadventure
annoyed to be reminded that this sentiment is common enough that apparently it had to be stated in the resident advisor vocalcity rewind review
― lowercase (eric), Sunday, 24 May 2020 11:50 (four years ago) link
Dumbfuckery of the highest order.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 24 May 2020 11:52 (four years ago) link
still one of my favorite and most-listened-to records
― here 1st (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 7 June 2023 19:52 (eleven months ago) link
Same here. Instantly takes me back to 2004 too. Walking round a rainy Barcelona. Techno and house had collided with radio pop and things would never be the same again
