Luomo: The Present Lover

some of the synths on "what good" are blowing my mind

One of my fave albums. Reminds me of Barthes.

It's no Vocalcity. Both of them pale next to Karhunainen, however.

I guess we don’t look for the same thing in Luomo but this is just no contest for me. Present Lover is super classic, the rest is far behind.

Karhunainen is great but lol at the idea that it holds a candle to either of the first two luomo albums.

luomo is the only music i've listened to for the last like 3 weeks

I'm cleaning up black coffee and feta cheese

Jordan question:

The Weeknd:Vampire Weekend::Luomo:”the rhythm of the saints”?

That doesn't look like the right order for that comparison.

I would still love to see it explained

Also thanks for reminding me to check Convivial again

The next Luomo album, 2003's The Present Lover, was a major label misadventure

annoyed to be reminded that this sentiment is common enough that apparently it had to be stated in the resident advisor vocalcity rewind review

Dumbfuckery of the highest order.

still one of my favorite and most-listened-to records

Same here. Instantly takes me back to 2004 too. Walking round a rainy Barcelona. Techno and house had collided with radio pop and things would never be the same again
