Actually, that's 16 minutes.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I'm excited about this too!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

I like the original "IFL" better

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:32 (twenty years ago)

this is a great album now that im through it a couple times. very hypnotic at times and that last track is very tubular bells in its dramatic feel. i feel like i should be running somewhere important in the rain while i listen to it. possibly to cut a wire on a bomb or to catch a plane my soulmate is about to board. its great.

― jmeister (jmeister), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

when does this get released, anyway?

listening to the big boys after biscuit's death last week reminded me why so much of the 2000-era "punk funk" stuff is sooooo weak.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

Some of it reminds me of Brandi Ifgray's "Stargazer" but more expansive.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:27 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, i saw that limited nine inch nine inch nails single with the dfa remix and almost bought it for sheer novelty. what's the remix like?

I dig it, but I seem to be in the minority. It's very...rubbery, if that makes any sense. Lots of bleeps and egg shakers. Trent's vocals are slowed down and shifted off the beat just a tiny bit, which I think works.

Who wouldn't love "Casual Friday"????

Oh, vahid, right.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

hstencil, A little YSI would be really nice of you.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

days of mars (and broken ear record) = the first dfa records I'v been really excited about in some time. awesome.

anyone seen the cover art yet? i havent...

― petesmith (plsmith), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

I'm with vahid when it comes to the BLF track.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

that song is definitely in my top 5 singles of the year (i know DFA2 came out in 04, but the single was 05...).

― petesmith (plsmith), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

BLF are fantastic; I had no idea there were some many DFA-hataz.

haha "Rise" is currently reminding me of a dub version of Fischerspooner's Boredoms cover. I need a chance to play this LOUD at a club or something (er, prior/post people-on-the-dancefloor obv).

― etc, Thursday, 25 August 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

or a gluggier version of insides' clear skin. steve reich sounds like disco sounds like steve reich, &c&c&c?

― etc, Thursday, 25 August 2005 04:54 (twenty years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

nothing less than gorgeous and great

2005: A Space Odyssey

― willem (willem), Thursday, 25 August 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

I like this, tho definitely in a similar field as Mother Mallard, Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream. Actually, this is a bit less "dancey" than I was hoping, but still a good listen.

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 25 August 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

ummisanyoneslskingthisrightnow?nooneisintheILMroom...

i have it pete (sungravie)

― willem (willem), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

I like Casual Friday, but the guy singing is one of the worst singers I've ever heard.

― recovering optimist (Royal Bed Bouncer), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

so again, i know such a gauche question, but when's the release date again?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

the female vocals technically aren't so great either ("you must confessssssssss"), but that only adds to it imo. i like how nervous and shaky they sound when everything else drops out. it adds to the sexual tension in the track.

"Black Spring" is fantastic.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

thanks, mr. smith.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 25 August 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

The totally prejudiced opinion at my house is that it's way better than the new Earth plunk.

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Thursday, 25 August 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

saw a hilarious video of them jumping out of a beat-up Thunderbird and dancing to Vangelis's "Come On" on repeat. think "Casual Friday" was made somewhat in its image.

RIYL: The scene in "Risky Business" where Tom Cruise is having subruban night-sex with Rebecca DeMornay and the doors fly open and leaves blow in; or the scene in "Thin Blue Line" where Randall Adams goes over the policeman's murder, post-"Swinging Cheerleaders" screening.

― Legroom at the Vista (Bent Over at the Arclight), Thursday, 25 August 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

Ah, I finally got to listen to this. I love it. "Black Spring" jumps out at me as my favorite track so far.

RIYL: The scene in "Risky Business" where Tom Cruise is having subruban night-sex with Rebecca DeMornay and the doors fly open and leaves blow in;

First of all, what does RIYL stand for? I can usually figure these out, but this one has me stumped.

Also, I'm a big fan of the Tangerine Dream song from Risky Business, "Love on a Real Train", and even a lot of the copy-cat ambient songs. "Black Spring" reminds me of it. The Global Communications song "8:07", and the ambient remix of Chicane's "Offshore", are my two favorite "Love on a Real Train" wannabes. Any of those songs could be substituted in the movie for that scene (maybe not the Chicane one - too upbeat).

i feel like i should be running somewhere important in the rain while i listen to it.

Hahah: nice image.

RIYL = "Recommended if you like..."

Vangelis - Come On

― milton parker (Jon L), Thursday, 25 August 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

thanks, mitlon!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 25 August 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

milton, remember when you said "repetition will come back"?

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 25 August 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

retro is also coming back.

― milton parker (Jon L), Thursday, 25 August 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

when did repetition ever go away?

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 26 August 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)

trick question.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 26 August 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

chairman mao, he digs repetition

Big Boys, "Jump the Fence" for the dude who wanted to hear some

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 26 August 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

I didn't like "Casual Friday" at first but it quickly grew on me. I'm halfway through "Black Spring" and it sounds very lovely, much better than "Rise" and the other tune from the DFA comp to me.

Andy K., I absolutely adore your new e-mail addy.

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Friday, 26 August 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

I really like Days Of Mars. I'm a recent convert to the non-dancey DFA stuff, but this is easily my favorite - "Revelee" is the first song in a while to literally make me sit up in my chair when I heard it for the first time. I've been opening my last few days at work with Music For Airports and then cueing up Days of Mars - it goes together incredibly well.

I also deeply love Casual Friday. And the NIN remix too. I would probably feel worse about being such a shameless DFA fanboy if they'd stop being such an awesome label.

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Saturday, 27 August 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

I would probably feel worse about being such a shameless DFA fanboy if they'd stop being such an awesome label.

OTM. DFA have surprised my by lasting this long without fizzling out, and even if LCDSS and Juan Maclean have disappointed with their full-lengths (at least by the ridiculously high standard they set with the early singles), they've more than made up for it with the less-hyped stuff (the Pixeltan and JOY singles, Dela & Gavin/BLF, the new Black Dice which has come out of nowhere and utterly gobsmacked me, etc). And trendiness aside, they're one of the few labels I follow that has an output that's consistent enough that I can justify picking up every CD release the day it comes out...

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Saturday, 27 August 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

i tried to give BLF another try tonight, i only lasted a couple of minutes. you know, what bothers me the most, and i forgot to mention? awful comedy voices!! terrible!! like the worst parody of "radio clash" or big audio dynamite or something.

― vahid (vahid), Saturday, 27 August 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

does anyone have a link to their art or more about them? i know so little.

― revelude, Sunday, 28 August 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

Cover art!

It's very...pink.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Sunday, 28 August 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

exquisite

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 28 August 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

haha, that is fantastic.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 28 August 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

I dig the Civil War thing they've got going on there.
