Hmm... I like it, but I feel like it's too clean in some way. I like the imperfections - for lack of a better word - in the IDIB stuff: The fact that the Glass Candy singer is kind of out of tune a lot of the time; the creepiness and dread in a lot of the Chromatics tunes; the lo-fi-ity of the Nite Jewel and a lot of the After Dark stuff. I even like the fake vinyl crackles they bust out - and normally I would absolutely hate that kind of affectation.
I really can't seem to find anything out there that's like the IDIB stuff at all, really - snatches of score from old Italian horror movies, maybe, but that's about it. Someone told me to check out Zombie Zombie, and I thought it was okay, but it was too clean too. I liked that Salem "Yes I Smoke Crack" ep - that was as close as I've gotten to something similar with that really unsettling, haunting vibe.

Yeah, I've got that Deep Gems disc - it's very cool. Lots of Beatbox remixes with some curios in there, like the one called "Geto Boys," which is the old Iko Iko 12" vocals over a "My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me" loop.
― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
that "unsettling, haunting vibe" you are referring to seems to work for the invisible conga people, as well. As far as non-idib acts go, I think that john maus and tickley feather fit that bill, too.
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Ah, yes - I love that John Maus album. I think I've played "My Whole World's Coming Apart" more than any other song this year. Haven't heard Tickley Feather but will check it out - thanks for the tip.
― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 16:40 (fifteen years ago) link
also, like 50% of what's posted on 20 Jazz Funk Greats fits your description. specifically, stuff like throbbing gristle's "hot on the heels of love" and chris and cosey, which they obsessively namedrop (almost as much as those italian horror soundtracks you were mentioning). tickley feather works if only because she's very similar to nite jewel.
don't forget about john carpenter, beppe loda/daniele baldelli and original afro-cosmic music in general (check out the loda mix here)

Just hearing Cable Dazed by Invisible Conga People for the first time, what with it's frequent end of the year ratedness.
Either way, woah.

I got tickets at the door, but yeah, there were tons of people there. Left after Nite Jewel cuz I had a birthday party to go to and there was still a line around the corner.
― Chesney Freemanwater Revival (maciej recognizing trill), Sunday, 8 March 2009 20:38 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i was there--small venue, long line, etc.
thought nite jewel was great & i liked the new stuff. didnt stay for glass candy but dmr said they were really good.
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Sunday, 8 March 2009 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link
they can come off a little serious on their recordings sometimes but live they're a total party band, really fun set. first or second song I think was Digital Versicolor and the stage filled up with people dancin, the bouncers came and cleared them off afterward but the band was into it. they closed with a weird hip-hoppy version of Iko Iko using the Isaac Hayes loop from that Geto Boys song
at one point toward the end of their set I checked the time on my phone and was like 3:48AM WHAT THE SHIT but I forgot it automatically shoots ahead for daylight savings. lol
― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:17 (fifteen years ago) link
also it was cool to hear House of House loud. can't remember what else Mike S. played except Hall n Oates "I Can't Go For That" right after Nite jewel got done
― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
i thought the bottin track w/the video (no static) was just ok. pretty good, but didn't blow my mind, but then i heard the other tracks on his myspace and damn. really great. especially Horror Disco makes me appreciate no static way more and i'm totally looking forward to his album.

yess. he played this out in sf too, and i officially lost my shit. not sure i was 100% coherent, but pretty sure i remember lots of acid house tracks being played as well
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Sunday, 15 March 2009 09:15 (fifteen years ago) link
did i already tell this story? when sweeney was in sf and played house of house, i typed into my cellphone and handed it to simonetti and it said "tell tim house of house is played out already"
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Sunday, 15 March 2009 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, played out in online mixes/podcasts maybe. hearing it in a club and dancing to it was fun/new for me.
but yeah, it was sweeney wasn't it?
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Sunday, 15 March 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, it was all jokes. i was so stoked to hear it loud.

― s1ocki, Sunday, 19 April 2009 23:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I ordered that Desire CD and just got it. I love it, but I think I'm a blind IDIB fanatic.It's got bits of Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Farah (there's some 'spoken word'-y bits that sound exactly like her, really) - all the Johnny Jewel stuff. I still hope they put the Twisted Wires and Bottin songs out digitally; I haven't heard them yet. What else do they have coming out?
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:59 (fourteen years ago) link
another nite jewel 12" i think?

digging the twisted wires stuff ive heard so far, they were pg when i saw them at lpr but didnt leave a huge impression
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 13:46 (fourteen years ago) link
not sure about releases but there's a tiedye / rune lindbaek edit up on the blog. downloadin now
― dmr, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link
you can hear all the Bottin tracks on his myspace fwiw. there's a video for No Static on youtube
― dmr, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:00 (fourteen years ago) link
famous internet blog discohorror located at http://discohorror.blogspot.com has an exclusive bottin remix of a codebreaker track up right now
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link
by "exclusive" i mean "not exclusive at all"
that tiedye/linbaek edit from simonettis blog is nice btw
I was wrong - the Twisted Wires 12" is now on iTunes as of this week... sounds great. There's also a Tiedye remix of a DJ Kaos song on there, too, which sounds nice.
I wonder whatever became of Farah - I loved those tracks on the comp.
(I realize almost every single one of my questions can be easily answered with Googling; I just creepily like to keep this thread around)
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:50 (fourteen years ago) link
^^^^ This. She was supposed to have a full-length disc released by the label, I think.
Related: Since the initial "big" three IDIB discs debuted on eMusic (the comp, the Chromatics and Glass Candy), nothing but two singles plus an odd-and-sods collection from Glass Candy. I'm just bummed eMusic hasn't received more from the label.

There's an Italians Do It Better night this coming Thursday at Koko in London: Glass Candy / Twisted Wires / Desire / Lindstrom / Mike Simonetti...

I was just about to post the same thing.
Yes. Really looking forward to it.
I was expecting people to, given the size of the Lindstrom thread, and the Glass Candy one.
Still not heard Desire or Twisted Wires.
Still tickets left, by the wayhttp://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=319541&interface=koko

gotta say i'm not really feeling this desire record. the production is actually kinda lame, and the vocalist sorta gets in the way of any potentially great moments
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 04:30 (fourteen years ago) link
JESUS CHRIST THE DESIRE CD HAS NINE SONGS ON THE BACK AND EIGHT TRACKS
Going by Itunes and the lengths of songs on their Myspace player, I think "Oxygene" just doesn't appear on the album despite being listed. I'll have to listen to the demo of the song on Myspace once I've heard the album and see if I heard it somewhere...
Ah well. At least it's not FSOL's goddamn Dead Cities.
