Luomo

No extras, although the back says "Won't play on computers, huh?"

xp!

cool!

I read this as meaning you'd heard he was loaded from LISTENING to the music!

Does he have a song about being loaded? With breathy cut up vocals and an echoey Maurizio-indebted bassline?

I ordered it from Other Music but they took three weeks to tell me they didn't stock it. I'm hoping to find it when I'm in London and Berlin next month. It is absolutely TOP of my list.

Luomo!

so does any other Luomo come close to Vocalcity? I've heard a few tracks but nothing really seems as good.

no.

my friend sent me a luomo track called "mirrorball" which is real nice, i don't know if its on an album i don't have or what

the only other album by him i like as much as vocalcity is vladislav delay - the four quarters which is not really dance music of course

i still like present lover more than vocalcity

I got a mint copy of Vocalcity for £6 second hand a month ago!

I MUCH prefer it to Present Lover, but it has so much bass the needle literally jumps out of the groove on my nice turntable. Have to put the tracking force to about 3 to get it to play. Sounds great, though.

(I don't think that's why it was only 6 pounds, as it plays fine on cheap direct drive turntable)

Ah, Vocalcity what a masterpiece of sound design, texture, and deep house grooving. Everything else, what a dissapointment :( I sold my copy of the Present Lover after, well, not too long, at the time I deemed it something to the effect of fashion show runway house. It hurts me to say this to, what I've heard of his even later stuff is well, I don't want to be too harsh on him. Nevertheless, all is beyond forgotten because his stuff as Uuisitalo is better than ever, some reallllllly good tracks, a return to dance-music form, and how.

coming out soon:

LUOMO - CONVIVIAL !!!

featuring guest appearances from Cassy, Jake Shears, Robert Owens, Apparat, etc

Jake Shears!

"Convivial" is not a title that fills me me with any great hope or aniticipation, I must say.

robert owens, tho

true that.

cassy and apparat!!!

jake shears :/

paper tigers :------(

I won't expect much from this in order not to get heart broke again

I still listen to Paper Tigers.

Also, my "Jake Shears!" comment was surprise, not excitement. If anything, he makes me skeptical.

when vlad delay finally played in NYC, it was because he was also sneaking into the scissor sisters' studio to finish up the album.

that wire thing had really cool photos of his studio

I'm very confident about this (I don't know if I should be). Although I must say I've taken University courses which require less work than following his recent output.

xposts. it's a pity that the first time I see someone else use that Richard Hamilton pun and not replace 'homes' with 'house'. It's just much more clever that way!

What makes today's Techno so different, so appealing, so acceptable to 20something yupsters in graphic design jobs who drive VWs

Let me elaborate on the first point though. I think a prime reason I thought the present lover was so bunk was that largely because the vocals were just. kind of haphazardly thrown in there. I think with Cassy and Robert Owens (which got a whoa out of me), I'm confident he's going to not only have fancy vocalists (who will ideally write better lyrics than the stuff in TPL and what have you), but they're the type where the sound design is crafted around the vocals (in other works, please! no more of those irritating, kind of drunk-sounding synths!)

i love the vocals in TPL! :/

me too

me three

apart from that cartman track

what about that moment in body speaking where she gets it in the butt?

Between the last two posts I'm really starting to thing that my dislike of the present lover isn't just me.

seriously, if the dude says he doesn't like vocalcity and meant for it to come out totally different, then i don't trust him to make music i like now that he's refined his technique.

awesome

"talovahti" in particular is right in that luomo space, sound and rhythm and melody colliding in such a half-awake state that they smear into each other

excited to hear these, thanks for the tip!

anyone been following the bandcamp stuff in general?highlights? haven’t heard anything since rakka 1, i think… (which was pretty sick!)

There have been two more since

https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/kadotetut

and just today:
https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/nelj-kuuta

dude is on a tear

https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/kasvetaan

they keep coming

Good music to play while cleaning up black coffee and feta cheese

another new track today, feel like we basically have a luomo album at this point
