i've been listening to their fabric a lot lately, love the couple of tracks leading into discopolis

that reminds me I still haven't listened to the Optimo fabric mix!!!
― gr8080, Saturday, 12 February 2011 01:08 (thirteen years ago) link
me neither! I usually get fabric promos but that one fell thru the cracks, I've been meaning to order it

Discopolis and Dragon are my jamz. also Turkish Tavern.

optimo fabric mix is kinda all over the place in a good way (save a few tracks). it becomes the greatest thing in the world once he starts laying things on top of "oar 003b"
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 12 February 2011 07:46 (thirteen years ago) link
actually my least favourite part of that mix is "Don't Call". The mixing feels off, but I honestly can't tell if it's because I love that song and have heard it so many times it sounds wrong in that context.
― Gukbe, Saturday, 12 February 2011 07:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Although I don't feel the same about it's use in the Synth Summer mix.
― Gukbe, Saturday, 12 February 2011 07:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i never took to that desire album until i became obsessed with that mix, so my perspective is sorta the opposite i guess. i def love that part of the mix. it also sounds good with "love technique"
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 12 February 2011 07:57 (thirteen years ago) link
oh it's brilliant with "love technique". other fav part of that mix (though it must be the obvious one) is the Tyrell Corporation.
― Gukbe, Saturday, 12 February 2011 08:00 (thirteen years ago) link
"all over the place (in a good way)" is basically what makes optimo great, right?
btw when was the last time stirmonster posted??
― gr8080, Saturday, 12 February 2011 08:22 (thirteen years ago) link
not sure exactly, but not long ago. seems like whenever somebody updates the optimo thread he shows up
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 12 February 2011 08:25 (thirteen years ago) link
hay stirmonster I still want you to come play hawaii
― gr8080, Saturday, 12 February 2011 08:27 (thirteen years ago) link
not really beardo but it does feature "I Feel Space", I listened to the Espacio Odyssey mix they did tonight and it's still awesome.
― Gukbe, Saturday, 12 February 2011 08:31 (thirteen years ago) link
iirc thomas and eric picked the trax for the fabric mix, then it was mixed via computer! not their usual thing at all. still pretty classic tho.

anyone know anything on the Soft Rocks album that is coming out? I'm assuming it's gonna be a bunch of beardy edits like the Disco Power Play 12" series (because that's what it's called). a sample 12" has come out but I haven't heard. Tim Sweeney has been dropping tracks from it the last couple weeks though. First track on his set for this show is one of them, sounds rad.

also Stallions remix of Ariel Pink is real nice, I dunno where it falls in beardo/balearic but it's nice and lovefingers is beardo so i thought i'd mention it here
― ashra williams (san frandisco), Thursday, 17 March 2011 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link
The Disco Power Play full-length is rad, and yes, all beardy edits.

where'd u snag a copy?

i'd like another map of africa album, but would be satisfied if i could just find a copy of the laughing light of plenty album, which apparently came out last year
― mizzell, Thursday, 24 March 2011 15:52 (thirteen years ago) link
just to download it would be good.
― mizzell, Thursday, 24 March 2011 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
plus one; I've been emailing every distro whose name shows up anywhere in association with Whatever We Want trying to track down a copy
― the pussy/butthole addendum (jamescobo), Thursday, 24 March 2011 20:48 (thirteen years ago) link
want ameliorated by downloading Nemesi tracks. Only knew L'Asteroid from Rub-n-Tug's fabric mix, but all four of the singles (L'Asteroid, Jurassico, Ojo, and Cosmica) are cool spacy disco/rock with nice guitar.
― mizzell, Friday, 25 March 2011 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
don't expect to hear that LLoP album. i heard ruscha only has 3 copies himself and that's all that's out there or something
― jaxon, Friday, 25 March 2011 16:19 (thirteen years ago) link
have LLoP but have not cracked the seal on it yet, for no real reason in particular other than it may never ever ever come out.

Cosmica is great; there's an awesome Lindstrom remix (possibly w/ PT too, I forget) from a few years ago too

Good interview with Hatchback, where he kind of turns away from the Balearic scene, onto the burgeoning new-age scene.

WEWW's name is no joke, i reckon. i did break the seal on it and Laughing Light is a pretty good piece of work. nothing is going to top "The Rose" (which btw is still available on the No Ordinary Monkey site: http://noordinarymonkey.com/stuff.html ) but there's an epic side-long track (which i believe Tim Sweeney aired on Beats in Space) that is killer. not sure what happened to the thing though, or to the label. i'm told there's a Map of Africa album as well in the can, but not sure about that.
― beta blog, Saturday, 26 March 2011 15:52 (thirteen years ago) link
the epic long track is The pulse. 16m of beardo bliss :)

^ me too. also, there don't appear to be any samples at that link? or am i just inept
