Everyone should really download these.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

thanks jody and gareth.

i've been feeling poor lately and it's either eat or music, and free music means i can actually eat.

three weeks pass...

Would someone like to re-up this album this weekend, please?

It's truly grand, this record.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I trust you and Gareth. I don't have the time this week, so, I'm asking for Saturday when I'm free. Nothing by the band has cropped up on Pee-to-pee, though I've just peeped the mp3 G put on the psych/weird pop/60s thread and love it.

― Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

gareth has it on p2p, barima. Or if you are atill awake in 5 hours (!), I will get on slsk and you can get it from me.

― Semaphore Burns (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:57 (twenty years ago)

Maybe we can swap and I can listen to these freefrom five and shortwave set things you are always banging on about.

― Semaphore Burns (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:57 (twenty years ago)

Adam, thanks for offering, but I'm a Mac man who can't get on da sk. And even if I could, the comp is still in me mam's bedroom, so I very, very, very rarely get to use it late.

Heh heh, I do go on sometimes. I linked The Shortwave Set on the favourite weird pop/psych thread that's now ongoing - there are 3 mp3s at the Summer's Last Sound Blog right now. I only like about 4 Freeform Five tracks, but I'm happy to gMail those to you, hopefully over the weekend.

six months pass...

jbr - I just e-mailed you about this LP.

Basically a request to re-YSI the tracks (cf. your nomination for today on this thread)

Obviously, if anyone else has the mp3s from last time they were posted (tragically, I didn't see the June revival of this thread) then feel free to post them.

Thanks in advance.

happy new year!

You're a star! Many thanks :)

Oh yeah, I did get this and am an avowed fan.

Yay! Much appreciated!!

if anyone wants to hear the cover of "cry baby cry" from the second inner dialogue album:

Give me time!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 15:54 (twenty years ago)

I listened. I don't doubt you, but it's hard to credit that it's the same Inner Dialogue. So twas better to say nothing (I thought).

― Jeff W (zebedee), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 17:31 (twenty years ago)

it's the same one. if you think that's off, you should hear their cover of "raindrops keep falling on my head." dear god.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

That track is great. Thanks, gene. I'll bet Paul McCartney would like to hear that. He always liked that song. I always thought he'd get a kick out of the Wings covers on the We All Together records, too.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

nine months pass...

Do you guys like the band The Split Level? They had an LP on Dot which is quite similar to these groups--overall less eccentric than inner dialogue, less lush but more propulsive overall than The Free Design.

Instrument credits include electric sitar and "the subtle no string guitar." They songs are really catchy, reasonably psychedelic and still certainly left of center--a song about their gear, for example--and the closing track is madrigal-esque and ends with them chanting "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP..." lol.

My copy has a "mono" sticker over where it says Stereo.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

Apparently Margo Guryan wrote a song on this record! I just looked at the label. I'd never noticed that before.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

Hi guys, there's a copy of this Split Level LP on ebay now! I really just want to talk to someone about it. I think side 1 has a few weak moments ("Think of Rain" most ofa ll) but the highs on this LP are just SO GOOD!

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Come on guys, talk to me! I figure reviving this thread would be better than starting a new thread, but maybe I am naive.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

lets be naive together. what is this record? surely it cannot be as good as inner dialogue?

― -- (688), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

No mp3s/streaming no credibility. (And yes, it cannot be as good, I insist.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

It's pretty damn good guys. I'll rip a track for you tonight! The highs are definitely of Inner Dialogue-level bizarro-fabulous.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Thursday, 26 October 2006 00:35 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, I can't find the cable I need to rip this, but I'm going to pick it up at radio shack tomorrow! There's no torrent of this out there? Weird.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Thursday, 26 October 2006 01:16 (nineteen years ago)

it's on slsk.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 October 2006 01:57 (nineteen years ago)

if it's on slsk then wtf did i just rip four cuts from side b for?
if there's need i can still post em, but i didn't think we were doing that on ILM anymore.

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Thursday, 26 October 2006 02:46 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, well, you could send them to [email protected], for instance...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 October 2006 02:47 (nineteen years ago)

I like the fact that the Split Level, true to their name, don't look like they belong in the same band (which may have been the point?). Two kooky Greenwich Village types paired off with a man and a woman in formalwear - nice Cheap Trick effect, ten years too early.

Split Level, is it a lovely sound?

It is!

― Michael Dudikoff presents Action Adventure Theatre, Monday, 26 November 2007 14:09 (eighteen years ago)

If anyone in the NYC or Brooklyn area cares abt that Split Level record, we have several copies at the shop I work at right now.

E-mail me to put a copy on hold if ya want one.

― ian, Monday, 26 November 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

also, has anyone heard this second Inner Dialogue LP?

― ian, Monday, 26 November 2007 18:49 (eighteen years ago)

the 2nd lp i really dont like as much as the first. its earthier and that may appeal to some, but im not taken with it at all

― Alex in Denver, Monday, 26 November 2007 20:40 (eighteen years ago)

earthier... in a folk rock kinda way?

― ian, Monday, 26 November 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

No not really, more...gutsier vocals, almost R&B ish in places. I guess sounding more like an actual band rather than a studio concoction.

― Alex in Denver, Monday, 26 November 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

i said something about the second album above. they cover "raindrops keep falling on my head" and "carolina in my mind," if i recall correctly. it lacks the bizarreness of the first but i really do like their version of "cry baby cry."

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 03:02 (eighteen years ago)

i listened to the 2nd LP in my dream last night and it was PROG.

― ian, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

two years pass...

i love this record. for whatever reason, there is very little info about this band on the net not even on allmusic. just dug it out there recently, a CDR of the downloaded tracks from this thread. i love the psychotherapy inspired lyrics. the album has got a 'suburban housewife has a spiritual awakening' feel to it.
