Oneida -- You'e having a laugh

Kicking myself so hard for not mentioning Circle!!!!

xpost

^ knows what's up. circle and loop otm. plus yeah, prospekt & sunrise are my favorite circle albums, and AGE my favorite loop. spot on.

hah, thanx!

also: rhys chatham - die donnergötter

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.

really really re: no balls? i assumed it would be brainbombs-style gurk rock.

2nd space mantra

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.

grady's store is in ventura!

Shoot, okay, you got me. Never been to northern Cali.

neither has grady's record store!

Geographically challenged over hera.

hungover, too

nothin but love

really really re: no balls? i assumed it would be brainbombs-style gurk rock.

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.

really, stopping a killer riff prematurely is unforgivable.

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?

not to derail the thread, but anyone have any idea where to buy that Cave/Skarekrau Radio tape? Google's coming up with nada.

many xposts

will check that mother of fire and hunt like devil/jamz is really good for sure
also 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.

Tyler, I will look around for a tape for you.
I will dub one for you for nothing.

aw thx!
alan, some excellent cave stuff to try out over here: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/CAVE/
they're still far and away the best live band i've seen in 2010. probably in 2009, 2008, 2007, too.

nice! I'll definitely give a listen. thanks.

Sorry for derailing your thread, Oneida! Thanks for the recos, everyone. Listening to Harmonia as I type; had forgotten they existed. Really good but a little mellow for my mood right now.

I take it Cave are a different band than these guys? :) Got Hunt Like Devil waiting for me; also, Space Mantra and Circle's Sunrise.

Stopped following the Krautrock listening club after the 1-2 punch of Amon Duul II and Walter Wegmuller, neither of which I could stand in the slightest. (did like La Dusseldorf alright, tho.) Maybe I should get back on the bandwagon.

Anyone listening to any Sun Araw? Seems like if you like Amon Duul II's noodliness and a bit of space-rock you'll dig it. It's mostly soloing over slow deep beats and a chaotic backdrop of echoey distorted guitars & keys. Very trancey & psychedelic. The one I listen to most is Heavy Deeds.

Since I instantly and completely derailed this thread from Oneida to all this other stuff, is it possible for a mod to snip the whole conversation into a new thread from that point? Up to now this is the best all-arounder thread for Oneida & I don't want to have fucked it over. Also, anyone looking for a convo around repetitive guitar-rock bands is more than likely to miss it here.

LADDIO BOLLOCKO

^yesssss.

first album is a stunner.

^ in my post above, every time I mention Amon Duul II, substitute Ash Ra Tempel, since apparently that's what I was referring to. I guess now I haven't heard AD (I or II). Would i like them? Are they riffy?

they are riffy

but not always that riffy

oh hell yes. have mentioned them in a number of threads recently (insisting, for example, that they are "chillwave" just so i can foist them there). heavy deeds is epic, but i think on patrol is my favorite. the longer songs and open spaces make it so easy to get lost in. plus nice beats.

wouldn't worry about it. in the long run, this'll just be a minor detour, and probably a useful one to fans.

The Psychic Paramount. Anyone heard their earlier albums?

Being discussed here Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2011
All their stuff is worthy of investigation.

And I mean purchase.

Apparently I temporarily liked one of their albums six years ago:

On the subject of Oneida. The inattention paid to this band is indicative of the degradation of rock music as being a force of larger cultural power/acknowledgment. Like twenty years ago, Rated O would've been an "event record" in my mind.

^^^

(Rated O was an event record. In my mind, anyway.)

Shoulda been as big as GAPDY

the fuck is gapdy

i never thought about rated o that way, though now that you people mention it, it was an amazing record that was criminally overlooked.

preteen weaponry was great too! part 1 of the "trilogy" that rated o is a part of as well.

Any rumours of a release date for "Absolute II? (part 3 of the trilogy; it's been in the can since at least last summer)

To answer the previous question -- out in a couple of months and I'm giving it an ear now. REALLY like the first track, it's them on the proto-ambient Kraut/space zoneout tip and it actually feels like an extension of ideas instead of a tribute to them. Which I knew they had in them, it's just great to hear it.

Some discussion on this thread, too
10 Intelligent questions for Oneida

Ah cool, missed that one.

Guess this thread will be the default Oneida thread for now. Kid just posted a link to the new album streaming at East Village Radio. As Ned said, sounding really out in Krauty/improv/space territory. Sounding really nice so far.

Very restrained, and very little noticeable guitar in the first two songs.

Hey, anyone know if a recording of the set where Oneida covers "New Day Rising" for 45 minutes (or something like that) exists? Just remembered that it happened while looking at the Husker Du poll results, and this seems like a great way to approach the weekend, if a recording of it exists.
