Welcome to the club. This has been a lock for my top ten since I first heard it.

i don't know when i last had so much fun getting to know an album. listened twice yesterday, and am on my second round for this morning. i don't think there's a bad track on here. been a good year for crater head psyche shit (this, blues control, shit & shine, fuck buttons, lips).

Kid just emailed me the other day. He's sending me the triple vinyl. Stoked!

anybody heard kid millions' man forever lp? basically a drum solo record, with tons of tracks layered together until it turns into a big, blurry, throbbing mess. some very alien-sounding bass guitar from one of the sightings dudes, but otherwise just kits, kits and more kits, all pummeled within an inch of their lives. pretty unique and cool - reminds me of lightning bolt more than anything else, in the way these mushroom patterns emerge and disappear into a seething morass of noise. i can't image that 40 minutes of droney percussion fog is gonna do it for everybody, but it's working for me.

So, I've heard almost all of their albums, but I still don't understand the title of this thread.

Forget what I said 7 years ago. Saw them Thursday w/ Kinski and The Lights opening. Oneida were a 5-piece, with another keyboard player, and Shaheen (ex ex-models, seconds) on 2nd guitar and vocals.
Oneida killed it, and Kid is the main reason, as stated several times above. Overheard at show: "dude is like Jaki from Can but on CRACK!"

show at the sunset (ballard) on thursday night was amazing by the way. missed the openers, but no loss. oneida were more than enough on their own. and yeah, kid, but the whole damn band, really. best live performance i've seen in quite some time.

oh hai, you was at the sunset, too. cheers! twin guitars and keys were fiendish yeah.

Both openers were at their best too. Kinski's Chris Martin is becoming better and more confident as a singing frontman. Also new songs are Alpine-Static good.
But anyway, Oneida U HAZ LAAFS

Oh, man. Rated O would be my #1 album of the year this year, except it's last year's album. Aw, fuck it, it's still my album of the year.
I want more stuff like it. Lots more. It fills the need I've had for some years for a new NEU! album - that relentless propusliveness, mostly instrumental, "out there" but never spaced-out. It's hitting all the right neurons.
I've got NEU!, Can, Fela, and now this; what else fits the bill? Suggestions, anyone?

maybe check out the plastic crimewave split w oneida? then if you like the PCS side, get some of their stuff!
― 69, Thursday, 4 November 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
lot of recommendations for cave. not saying no, but if you're interested, aim for the hunt like devil/JAMZ album (dbl EP combo, whatever). best thing they've done so far, imo.
recent mother of fire EP has an oneida-ish quality here and there, but gothier, and not quite so rhythmically intense.

xp - did not know cave had a newer release than pure moods. must check that out ASAP
― chewy, Thursday, 4 November 2010 18:45 (thirteen years ago) link
No, that's the first Cave release. They don't have anything new right now.There may be some copies of a split cassette with Skarekrau Radio with a live set recorded by Grady Runyan at his record store in Sacramento in 2009.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 4 November 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
ok, mother of fire is not the title of an ep by the band cave, but rather a whole other band...?
― chewy, Thursday, 4 November 2010 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link
correct. Mother of Fire record on De Stijl, I think.the first Cave release is Hunt Like Devil/Jamz.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 4 November 2010 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
oh yeah, duh, should have been clearer. mother of fire is a minneapolis band that has a vague oneida-like quality buried somewhere in their sound. connection is tangential at best, and i'm probably the only one who'd make it. offered in response to staggerlee's request.
― naked human hands and a foam rubber head (contenderizer), Thursday, 4 November 2010 19:04 (thirteen years ago) link
love this locked groove stuff as well and definitely check out circle! prospekt, sunrise, and tower are my faves. but don't start with tower - it's more on a terry riley tip.
anyway, there's tons of circle material out there and most of it is worthwhile.
best experienced live, tho.
loop might do the trick too. a gilded eternity is killer.

the recent no balls s/t lp (from 2009, I think?) hit a lot of these same buttons for me. but with more scuzz.

oh wait, just threw it on. it ain't self-titled. come clean is the album.

f/I's Space Mantra should dop the trick. Also check out the Parson Sound album.

I mean, it is, sure. but when I listen, "don't stop playing this riff, I love this riff" often pops into my head. and of course, they never do. not until the song has totally decayed.
really hits that loop sweet spot for me but coming from a way more primitive angle.
ymmv, of course.
― original bgm, Thursday, 4 November 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
really, stopping a killer riff prematurely is unforgivable.
― original bgm, Thursday, 4 November 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, how much better would this song be if the amon duul 2 boys really took their time with the riff that appears 1:13 into this track?

will check that mother of fire and hunt like devil/jamz is really good for surealso circle is a great rec
the new hallogallo 2010 7" (blinkgurtel/drone schlager..lolz) is real nice too!

guess I have to check out cave, huh? reflexively wrote them off as 3rd tier stuff for reasons I can't remember. (possibly because they have an album named "jamz")
parson sound seconded in a big way.
