Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

i think that it's 11th may

seems a bit odd if it's not on the web storess, i bought it today from my local record store here in melbourne. and it's fucken ace!!

Boomkat has it listed. Didn't know this coming, looks great!

the promo had a note about one or two tracks that said they weren't able to license and the finished version wouldn't include it/them. anyone know if the finished version is actually different?

i don't have it at hand because i'm at work, but there is one track that has an asterisk next to it and a 'we were unable to license this, if you're the rights holder pls to contact' message

goodmix

i dont want to buy a mix, can someone upload?

i like that there are a few songs i know on this, makes his mixing interesting, seeing how he'll get into/out of waiworinao
linky alt linky not hosted just a link to a blog

seeing how he'll get into/out of waiworinao

pretty awesome and my favorite part of the mix, makes sense tho, the funky bassline

also, as if it wasn't forseeable he pitched it dooooooooown

i've listened to tirsdagsjam like a million times already

Listened to this album more than anything else this year. Classic "I need to listen to SOMETHING...this'll always work" album.

nice touch with this is that if you buy the vinyl, you get the tracks on a CD with it for free. which is making me think i might pony up for it!

bought the PT 'live at robert johnson' CD, the artwork/packaging is so cheaop and shitty! apart from that it's pretty great

The second album (II) just appeared on eMusic (in the US, at least).

is it weird that i've listened to tirsdagsjam way more than the actual album?

Yes, it is weird. i prefer everything on the album to Tirsdagsjam.

I'm not sure if I should put "Magick Bus" stuff here, or on The Grid thread (coz there isn't a Time and Space Machine thread) but, erm... new club apparently being run by Richard Norris and Prins Thomas/Espen Haa?

Oh wow, that could be amazing. It's Prins's monthly residency from July.

Well, I found out about it through the Richard Norris connection, but, erm... people are also talking about it on the Mungolian Jet Set thread, as they're playing the opening night.

Seems like it's going to be pretty... out there. (And by "out there" I mean fantastic.)

robert johnson mix is a+. nice to hear babytalk in the mix (amongst all of the other good stuff!) -- extremely smooth mixing, like how it's thematically broken up.

yeah its probably up there with the grandfather paradox as my commercially released mix of the year, capracara into trans am into map of africa part is my highlight but the whole thing is great.

did yours have the shitty packaging with no spine on the cd case, i'm convinced i've been sold a fake or something!

mine is the same. the mix is part of a series of four mixes from playhouse. the idea is that you buy all of the mixes separately, and then they go into this nifty limited edition box.

So I can't stop listening to "II" but boy, when the final minute and a half of "Gudene Ve & Snutt" (third to last track) kicks in, I *really* *really* can't get enough! That's the kind of music there that'll drive me crazy for months.
So... what else sounds like that bit? I feel like it really reminds me of other music I love, but can't quite figure out what I'm thinking of. I thought maybe it was something off of that Jackson & His Computer Band album, or a Boards of Canada moment, but no dice so far. Anyone have some better mental connections?

So I suppose next you're gonna try and tell me that "II" is "house" or something.

This is prog. This is just out and out prog. If you'd not told me when this was from, I'd have said it was made by beardy Germans in 1973. But, like, coz it's got bongos on it, you're gonna try and tell me this is "house" right?

This is, seriously, a Steve Hillage record sped up a bit.

this is prog

hillage is disco

didn't you hear e2-e4 was the first "space disco" record?

Hillage is P.R.O.G. with a capital GUITAR SOLO.

He was in Gong, FFS. he wrote a concept album about SALMON FARMING.

You cannot get any more prog than that.

Actually, yes, you can. This record, for a start. :-D

Isn't Steve Hillage that guy from techno group System 7?

OK, before Steve Hillage invented techno, he was in a prog band. Which is what this sounds like.

gong were the first ambient techno group - see "master builder" / "a sprinkling of clouds"

this is prog

oh and btw as further proof in my record collection GONG is filed next to GONZALEZ, DELIA & GAVIN RUSSOM of black meteoric star fame, so there is further proof of shared techno lineage

oops actually scratch "master builder" ... i just put it on and realized i was hearing the yamantaka EYE remix in my head instead of the original

this is prog

house, too

Yeah, well, Steve HILLAGE is next to HAWKWIND in my record collection so nyeah! (and don't you dare bring up their ill advised 90s foray into ambient techno)

I give up with this genre game. I just give up.

I'm D/Ling a Patrick Cowley album right now. I suppose you're gonna tell me that's not disco at all, far less Space Disco - that's actually .... acid jazz or something? :-P

(this is NO house in this record. None. Tiny bits of disco, but not a drop of House)

patrick cowley is hard rock (i know because scott seward likes it)

see kate, this is the thing you're just not getting. the whole idea of "beardo" is not fucking bongos. it's being able to play a prog record next to a patrick cowley record next to a farley jackmaster funk record and it all seems to work

did someone say "II" was house music??

this is one reason i like L&P; they are basically going for "late 70s prog/new age band does a disco record", which is basically the sweetest shit ever.

Maybe it's because I don't have a freaking beard, eh? ;-)

entirely possible :)

I think people just invent increasingly convoluted "genre" names for essentially saying "stuff I like".

And it doesn't matter whether that genre name is "dronebobbins" or "beardo" - it's kind of a lazy shortcut. But hey, without it, how would you know what to listen to at all?

Spoken like somebody who has never had buying duties at a dance record shop.

OH SNAP!!!!

lindstrom often reminds me of abba

xxp, or shopped in a record store. sometimes you want the digging experience, but sometimes you just want to get your shit and get out, so genre labels help.

thats fundamentally wrong. i like lots of stuff that isnt beardo, and i dislike lots of stuff that is beardo. and vice versa.

Getting into an area of music for the first time and complaining "I like all this stuff but all the genre names you people use for it are bullshit!" is like the primordial challop.

The ILX FAQ ought to be expanded to include a list of "daring thread interventions" that should be avoided.
