Lansing-Dreiden-The Incomplete Triangle:Album Of The Year?

Any of them still making music?

http://violens.net/

there are actually TWO good threads for LD. we make fun of Ott on both of them:

Article Response: Lansing-Dreiden - 'The Incomplete Triangle'

love this band, but we bought the originals why they gotta be extra tracks reissue cunts?
$?
can't really see anyone making megabucks here.
the re-release is such a wishy washy revisionist nostalgic wallow logic (esp on vinyl) - it's like a wish-fulfilment "history" or something.
like a machu pichu package tour sold as an adventure.
an apple mac sold as you-being-a-creative-type.
how did they drop the ball with violens, anyhow?
that shit sounds awful.

i personally agree about bonus tracks, but it seems most people like that kind of thing.
if i buy any of these it would probably just be Dividing Island, which i think i slightly prefer, and it has no bonus tracks

i will get them cuz they are truly one of the few groups of the 21st century - non-metal - that i adored. and they will probably look really nice. i was fine having the CDs. though i heard the 2nd album skipping in cyrus's boombox the other night cuz he has played it so much.

i don't really care about bonus tracks for the most part. though i am curious about the long track added to the EP.

though they should have quoted people here for the mexican summer page instead of ariel fink and grizzly bore and kurt measley.

Man, you make it sound like the 21st century is over.

Love Lansing-Dreiden, but massaman gai otm.

I've said it before, but maybe not on this thread: "Our Next Breath" is an especially amazing song. I can't reveal my reasoning, since there isn't any really. Just gut level, ear level, this mix of retro elements has some sort of real ecstatic core. This is one of the songs I would pick to play for those put off by L-D's packaging.

Pajama party at scott's house.

got my vinyl got my vinyl!!! woo hoo!! playing first album now. got all three things. giving maria the download codes. maria: "this might be the first time i've ever been excited to get download codes."

packaging is normal. nothing fancy. good transfer. nice vinyl. sounds nice. definitely will pull these out when i get the urge to hear L-D. CDs are fine though if you already own the CDs. fanboy that i am i totally would have paid ten bucks extra if all three records had come in a slim box or something. as it is these three set me back like 70 bucks. money i never ever spend online for new vinyl. limited to 500 each but i doubt anyone would have trouble getting copies from the label for a while. how big could they be?

(and i waited and kinda forgot for awhile. just ordered them last week.)

actually i ordered them on sunday as a mothers day present to myself.

"Eternal Lie" sounds like an Ariel Pink outtake

The last couple of tracks on this...dying for proper drums

New song from Regal Degal:

I think this has a Lansing-Dreiden quality to it. An 80s post-punk take on 60s fuzz rock for the 2010s.

My humble L-D playlist:

Just discovered the song 'Disenchanted'. Wow - did 80s pop really sound like this? I rather suspect this is, in some ways, an improvement. It's like an actualisation of a particularly nostalgic dream. Incredible.

im more into this album then i was before i like how the last songs all sound like new order

Right - I don't really like New Order (let's not have a tedious calling-out session, just accept it, move on) but these songs are amazing. I don't know what the extra ingredient is - probably something ethereal in the melodic construction - really massy, expansive, ornate...

fwiw Disenchanted was somehow bettered by Desert Lights, which is a creation wrought from purest magic

L-D dude Jorge Elbrecht's new band is called Coral Cross, and he describes their music as choral thrash. The single "The Coldest Steel Across Your Face Slides" def has some metal in it, still not as good as L-D.

holy shit I had L-D in my head as I opened SNA just now

The new one goes to an interesting place in the middle that I wish was the whole song. Metal seems an odd choice for him.

yeah, seriously, the last four tracks of The Incomplete Triangle achieve electropop perfection in a way I can't even begin to describe. they'd make one of the greatest EPs ever made

Jorge has teased some new L-D in the future on his twitter

they'd make one of the greatest EPs ever made

oh shit they DID release it as an EP, except without 'Disenchanted' (p much their best song full stop) and with something called The First Response, which I'm listening to now. the tricksy bastards

yeah Disenchanted is much, much better than this. why, L-D, why? it doesn't even matter

Disenchanted is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years, it's a miracle imo

it's like 80s pop, but 'taken to new levels', lol

best thing is, it actually came out 11 years ago, whoops

Love this one :

Jorge Elbrecht produced and sounds it:

(I just learned his name, actually.)

There's just enough of a bite from "Are Friends Electric?" in this to make me smile a lot when I hear it without ripping it off wholesale.

New Tamaryn album sounds kind of like mellow L-D with female vocals.

Coral Cross increasingly hitting an L-D spot (for me anyway):

Oh damn. I am a failure at cut and paste as well as everything else.

So the video is really just taken from the Garbage Pail Kids movie (I guess?). I had no idea. Not something I grew up with.

it's a fine film.

listening to the vinyl reissues. sound so cool. i love some of the fucked up production but there IS a part of me that wonders what it would have sounded like if they had had crazy money to make the incomplete triangle. the songs are so good. would have loved multiple freestyle mixes and edits of I.C.U.

Agreed. Jorge is the man. From his Insta account, I think he just started work on the next No Joy album.

why didn't anyone tell me about 'Seaside'!? it's easily their best song and it's criminal that it was only ever released as a bonus track on the Sectioned Beam reissue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUelGLbAT3s

Criminal but somehow fitting.

Have never heard this before but it sounds great so far.

Maybe a little too much like Lansing-Dreiden doing a Lansing-Dreiden imitation, though that description sounds like something appealing as well.

i never had the sectioned beam cd so when i got the vinyl i probably didn't know it was an added track. otherwise i would have told you.

I worry about how many drugs Jorge Elbrecht is doing (but maybe that's all wrong).

That dude used to be a manager at the Oyster Bar

That Ott review of this record is still infuriating. I love this album.

Jorge Elbrecht has a new album. It's very LD!

cool!
