BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

nice! yeah I need to get some of those wurst edits. I have heard a couple on beats in space or whatever and listened to them at the store but didn't get any yet.

been listening to supernature sooo much lately

However, for the most part it's not actually very 'cosmic'-sounding (as in spacy and out there, not the italian club or whatever), and it's at its best when it is.

otm. "Creation Myth" is one of the best tracks but it's a 2-minute-long instrumental ...

Obviously part of the point of it is to open our ears to a kind of rock that is SO unfashionable

ummm ... not so much out on the west coast. i remember 10 years ago in college, dudes who were putting on kit clayton and carl craig shows in san francisco were unironically pushing peter frampton and rush records on me

and dudes like doc martin and the hardkiss guys have always repped for hendrixes and doors and so forth ... and stoner rock is still much much more popular out here than minimal house (or even postpunk or freak folk)

i hate to say it but from my perspective this bold beardo house thing might be almost more of an accomodation to the listening sensibilities of a crowd who no doubt know carl craig's gavin + delia remix but might not know who xpress 2 is.

hi

are beardo edits the new electroclash?

mike simonetti started that exact thread a year or so ago.

are disco edits the new electroclash?

anyway, Runaway is Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral.

sorry, you're probably referencing that thread...

i'm listening to the orb's remix of material's "praying mantra", it's very cosmic innit

Belle Epoque by landslide (gravel provided in vox)

How can one be better? They're all the ame song!

But...that intro!

Here are the thoughts that went through my head as I watched the Fly Robbin Fly video:

1. Is there a new song called Fly Robin Fly?
2. Did Michelle Gondry direct this video?
3. This is kind of a cool sound, the snare is very tight and there's a weird spacey vibe to it.
4. Did some new band cover Fly Robin Fly?!
5. Holy shit, this is the original.

ooooh im on my 3rd carlsberg and the map of africa album is sounding so good. i'm gonna be playing this a lot, its hard not to get bimble-esque bout this, its so awesome, i love it! 'balearic rock style' is pretty on point. 'freaky ways' is my fave. title track and 'dirty lovin' coming a close second obv.

Version of Black skin blue eyed boys made me want to commit murder.

yeahhh, odd choice of cover ill admit

not sure where this fits into things really, and i can't find any discussion of this guy around here, but mark e has a really nice mix up at cool in the pool. really making this drizzly day.

looped steel drum (?) coolness! hiro ohta. nice.

where is the Fixx's "Reach the Beach" instrumental dub from? could it be an edit that jazzanova did? it's not on the LP and there doesn't seem to be a 12" listed on discogs.

oh, it's the b-side to One thing Leads to another

One Thing Leads To Another (12")
a) One Thing Leads To Another 8:00
Extended remix
b) Reach The Beach (dub) 4:06
Instrumental

eric of rub'n'tug & and Olivier Spencer of Manthraxx & Mr. Negative.

ON DFA!

it's wonderful. i wonder when it's coming out?

The song will also be featured on James Murphy and Pat Mahoney’s (LCD Soundsystem) upcoming Fabric Live mix.

nice

I probably should have known this already but it also says they did the How & Why record on Rong

eric and olivier I mean, not james murphy and pat mahoney

OMG this Map of Africa lp is completely burning my mind right now.

they had a copy of the MOA at thee record store last week! and i passed it up. :(

The CD is out now and still relatively easy to get- Sounds of the Universe, Juno, Boomkat, etc. all have copies. I think it's a limited run, just not as insanely limited as Whatever We Want vinyl.

OMG this Map of Africa lp is completely burning my mind right now.

Can we agree to disagree

I like this genre, but that Map of Africa lp is shitty dad music.

that's totally the point

shitty dads need music too.

Ha, well then why listen to Map of Africa at all? You can go to any bar and see baby boomer white guys playing classic rock covers and embarrassing attempts at blues.

did you listen to the rest of the record? that's only like 3 songs

yeah, I was just about to say that it's probably just the last few tracks that skewed my perception of the rest of it. But a few people have mentioned how much they like "Bone", which is the one I really detest, so I guess whatever it is I'm hating is exactly what some other people like. Anyway, really strange.

That looks great. I love "Ain't Afraid To Beg".

Back to MoA - why press it so quietly and craply? You'd think if you were into some collector limited vinyl fetish type vibe, you'd do a quality pressing. I know there are a lot of tracks but they could have either done a double (and charged EVEN more) or lost a couple of the rockier tracks. Anyway, I'm sure I've got single albums with that many tracks that don't sound that bad. I love "Here Come The Heads" and it sounds really shitty as the last song on the side. (Moan grumble dad-house dad-rock grumble moan.)

I also recently got hold of the first Otterman Empire thing and that's got a great chunk out of the side of the record!

anyone picked up that Mudd lp yet? "Claremont 56" on Rong? almost bought it the other day but I put it back for something else ....

cool cover

http://www.musicmine.com/img/disco/IDCA-1025_b.jpg

hi i'm a shitty dad and I don't care for this MoA LP much at all.

oh crap now i will never get signed to their label

i wish that TOC mix i linked wasn't in 128, it sounds like shit

Claremont 56 is pretty uneven for me, some great disco stuff, maybe too much acoustic guitar "balearic" noodling.

i've been listening to it all week and i love it. gets very deep-housey as it progresses but that isn't a bad thing. very nice, spaced out album. not too 'beardo' though...

Back to MoA - why press it so quietly and craply? You'd think if you were into some collector limited vinyl fetish type vibe, you'd do a quality pressing.

funny, i was listening to a buncha records last night and totally thought this about the MoA.

This looks interesting, if maybe a bit opportunistic:

are there Alfredo mixes out in the interweb?

None that I'm aware of. Discogs says he's got a couple of older mix CDs out there.

Baldelli's been a bit more opportunistic, no? I think he's has had more than few cosmic/baia mixes out the past couple years.
