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

i've listened to tirsdagsjam like a million times already
― s1ocki, Thursday, 14 May 2009 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Listened to this album more than anything else this year. Classic "I need to listen to SOMETHING...this'll always work" album.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 May 2009 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
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
― vain_bowers, Friday, 15 May 2009 10:18 (fifteen years ago) link
The second album (II) just appeared on eMusic (in the US, at least).
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 18 May 2009 20:44 (fifteen years ago) link
is it weird that i've listened to tirsdagsjam way more than the actual album?
― s1ocki, Monday, 18 May 2009 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link
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?
― Germanic Street Preachers (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 07:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh wow, that could be amazing. It's Prins's monthly residency from July.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 09:03 (fifteen years ago) link
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.)
― Germanic Street Preachers (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 09:07 (fifteen years ago) link
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!
― vain_bowers, Thursday, 21 May 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― butter tickle (tricky), Thursday, 21 May 2009 21:14 (fifteen years ago) link
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?
― altair nouveau, Thursday, 4 June 2009 05:28 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

didn't you hear e2-e4 was the first "space disco" record?
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Friday, 3 July 2009 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Isn't Steve Hillage that guy from techno group System 7?
― I am using your worlds, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
OK, before Steve Hillage invented techno, he was in a prog band. Which is what this sounds like.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Friday, 3 July 2009 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link
gong were the first ambient techno group - see "master builder" / "a sprinkling of clouds"

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
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:26 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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)
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Friday, 3 July 2009 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
patrick cowley is hard rock (i know because scott seward likes it)
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 3 July 2009 20:36 (fourteen years ago) link
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??
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Friday, 3 July 2009 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― winston, Friday, 3 July 2009 23:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe it's because I don't have a freaking beard, eh? ;-)

entirely possible :)
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Saturday, 4 July 2009 07:41 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 4 July 2009 08:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Spoken like somebody who has never had buying duties at a dance record shop.

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.
― zzz (deej), Saturday, 4 July 2009 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

hey tim check the old gina thompson remix is just posted to autogoon

No, it's not just genres I'm new to, I find many sub-genre names - even within fields of music I've listened to longer than some of you have been alive - often deliberately obscurantist.
It's fine when it's used to be a sort of shortcut of "oh, well, if you like this, you'll like that..." but so often it's NOT used in this way, it's used as this kind of exclusionary tactic of "oh, you don't know a thing about sub-genre X so you're not worth wasting my time talking to" - which I have utterly NO time for.
This kind of attitude comes up again and again, especially on dance threads on ILX, perhaps because of the kind of cultural capital associated with assigning the correct 30 miliseconds ahead of the trend dance artist to the correct sub genre.
Not accusing you of doing that, Tim F, you've often been incredibly helpful, but this attitude certainly exists, on ILX, and on other boards. And when people start pulling shit like that, yes, I will go into kneejerk mode and start playing deliberately dumb to play on their worst fears of OH NOES UNCOOL PEOPLE LIKE MY MUSIC.
And you're right, I've never had buying duties at a record shop. I have, however, waded through 20 different sub categories trying to figure out where someone has hidden the CD that I want to buy - and then give up and go buy it online from somewhere with a good search function.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 6 July 2009 09:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Kate you're building a strawman and accusing people of doing things that no one is doing, possibly because you start by defending yourself against attacks that haven't been thrown at you and work from there.
II is pretty fucking prog though, it can't be denied. But then L&PT's music isn't the sort of dance music that gets neatly shoehorned into micro-genres anyway. And in any case 'Balearic', 'beardo' etc aren't actually microgenres as much as broad umbrella terms. Balearic can include folk and easy listening and house and, yes, prog. It's not just 'add bongos'. </hippy>
