I assumed they were a bigger deal then they actually were/are, I guess; I generally assume by the time I hear about any band everyone else is tired of them and has moved on

i've heard exactly one song by TEF.

Think that later Third Eye Foundation once the guitars got ditched is generally better known too, and at that point any major similarity to MBV is lost

I remember being recommended TEF at the time but could not find any of their stuff in stores so I just forgot about it

I can remember quite a few acts trying that mbv/shoegaze meets dance thing in the late 90s, Acceleradeck and Chessie were a couple I remember liking quite a bit, although they were generally on the more drone end.

first TEF album Semtex is definitely essential listening for those who want to hear the shoegaze/jungle amalgam

ehh it's pretty good. i'm not bored of it yet.

the middle run of tracks really does grow on ya
― reet pish (imago), Wednesday, 3 July 2013 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
the first track became my favorite now

In Another Way gives me all sorts of crazy synaesthetic yearnings. I think it's one of the best songs of the last ten years. I didn't even vote for it here (because Wonder 2 is just as good)
― diarmuid o'gallus (imago), Friday, 1 November 2013 01:06 (ten years ago) link
Wonder 2 is great but in another way beats it. Only tomorrow has no business being in the top 3 here.
― (emphasis Treeship's) (Treeship), Friday, 1 November 2013 02:39 (ten years ago) link
it does tbf, it's the 3rd best track
― diarmuid o'gallus (imago), Friday, 1 November 2013 02:41 (ten years ago) link
Wonder 2 is the only song I skip on this (ok, besides the boring stereolab one), can't understand for the life,of me what people hear in that song. In another way & only tomorrow otoh are career highlights

New You is the only one I go back to.
― Pingu Unchained (dog latin), Friday, 1 November 2013 09:17 (ten years ago) link
voted for IOW. still think it's the best song here.
She Found Now should be higher
― nostormo, Friday, 1 November 2013 12:15 (ten years ago) link
this will have been one of the great records of 2010-15
kevin shields is too much

I still haven't heard this!

Wow "Is This and Yes" got 0 votes? I love that song! It's like a really really really chilled out Stereolab.
This album is great, I agree. Way better than it should have been.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 01:50 (nine years ago) link
"new you" has the biggest hook, surprised it didn't get more votes
― brimstead, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 02:18 (nine years ago) link
New You is the highlight by far. Can take or leave the rest.
― cod latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 09:31 (nine years ago) link
I love this album and yes, one of the best records of the decade so far
