my only qualm was with conflating of terms. When you wrote above that you were writing about cosmic disco, I got the sense you were talking about cosmic disco=space disco, i.e. Cerrone or this Conquest of the Stars record I have, and I wasn't sure you were aware of this other thing called "Cosmic" that the dance dorks have been talking about for the last few years, which certainly crosses over, but has a decidedly different aesthethic. But like, what can I expect from a music writer who doesn't like Sonic Youth? Seriously man, I'd trade my entire dance music collection to be able to listen to Expressway to Yr. Skull forever and ever.

(note...just referencing an old debate/discussion for good fun...)

there's one thing I didn't get from a Dan: a Sonic Youth mix

paid writers mining for ideas/info is the reason ILX exists, anyway. and dominique gets mad pts for digging up a bunch of stuff that wasn't mentioned on ILX at all, like ilya santana and releases on tirk + moodmusic ... my quibbles w/ the piece basically boil down to 1) i don't think viewlexx et al are on the same wavelength and 2) i wonder since maurice fulton clearly IS part of the freak-disco continuum, does the rest of the nuphonic stable make the cut?? (see fuzz against junk's insane cover of "born under punches", yellow sox (rocky + diesel) doing "flim flam", the arthur russell undercurrents of acts like fug and adam goldstone) ... actually, come to think of it, tirk is a sublabel of nuphonic!!

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I posted the mix I posted about way upthread to the group blog just now, sound quality isn't the best, there's some nasty shit going on during the Greenman track for some reason, old minidisc maybe, but it's a nice little mix.

x-post I agree about viewlexx btw

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

let me make sure i have this right

space disco = super dramatic italo about spaceships and shit
cosmic = "kozmische" music

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

nuphonic went bust. tirk is a completely new label run by a former nuphonicer.

dan, if i do you a ten hour edit of 'expressway to yr skull' can i have yr disco collection?

space disco = super dramatic italo about spaceships and shit

except it doesn't have to be italo.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

sorry, if I do YOU an edit.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

cosmic "kozmishe"

although Cosmic includes kozmische. Check out any of the threads on djhistory or the Daniel Baldelli interviews.

space disco = pre-dates italo and was a major influence on italo. Most early italo is space disco (i.e., Tarzan Boy is NOT!) but not all space disco is italo!

The thing about viewlexx is they come from a more strict techno/electro background. Their italo-revitalizing I think certainly opened some of these doors, I think. But by now, it's all golden, I-F's tastes certainly seem broad. But most of the Creme/Viewlexx etc stuff is pretty electro.

The joke is, stir, I don't need a ten hour edit of Expressway because I have Evol on vinyl and it ends on a glorious lock groove! Shame on the CD for including the cover of bubblegum at the end instead of just letting the song skip for the rest of the CD.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

ok "cosmic" has got me more confused than not. ridiculously eclectic, pitched-down afro space reggae disco?

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

with new wave at the wrong speed and you've got it.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

they probably played lots of grace jones, no?

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

probably. check out some of the cosmic mixes and links posted above. The DJ Loda ones that Gomma hosted were great, and tutu is awesome.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:59 (eighteen years ago) link

i need to buy 'evol' again as i tghink i fell asleep one time too many with it on the turntable and have worn out that lock groove.

i'm not a big fan of viewlexx but that i.f. presents the conservatives 12" is mega space disco.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

my fave as mentioned above is the italo sounding version of Crocodiles in the Sky, not the one that's on the Paralax Corp CD w/ female vocals, but the male vocal one that is super beautiful.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 22:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Hearing Scritti Politti played slooow at Dan/Jeremy's party last night was illuminating.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 22:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I really enjoyed Dominique's piece. I've found myself really enjoying Lindstrom and Prins Thomas, so it's nice to see someone point out some similar sounds.

It's pretty daunting to dissect the different genres and sub-genres that exist in the electronic and dance music spheres. It's a blotchy, confusing asterism.

Thanks to Dan and Dom for drawing some connections.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

type in "beardo" on google and hit "i'm feeling lucky and see what happens.

then try the same but type "beardo house" instead.

Oi Vahid, is the Adam Goldstone album from a few years back any good do you know? I've loved Tiny Trendies' "Sky Is Not Crying" ever since I heard it on the Playgroup DJ-Kicks mix but only recently found out it was Adam Goldstone behind it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 9 February 2006 22:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not Vahid but I think it's mighty good.

yeah, it's a pretty strong indictment.

― lf (lfam), Friday, 10 February 2006 00:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I really like almost everything talked about in this thread but I have no idea what to say about it. Maybe I need to hear it in a club first.

Baldelli just released an album called "Cosmic Sound" but thats probably ot because a) its wall-to-wall tribal drumming and b) Baldelli has no beard

― Yawn (Wintermute), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 02:41 (eighteen years ago) link

also the Rekid debut album is due April 7th!! (Rekid = Matt Edwards = Radioslave = 1/2 of Quiet Village)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 02:41 (eighteen years ago) link

― theghostrobot (theghostrobot), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 06:20 (eighteen years ago) link

oh my god does anybody have any leads on these mixtapes?

― lf (lfam), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 07:51 (eighteen years ago) link

there's some way to get them, I know Doug Lee downloaded dozens (hundreds?). But for a taster check the ones on the Gomma site.

Rub-n-Tug used that way before this thread, I seem to remember a flyer or email from a year or two ago with the beards.

So how was that Rekid ep on Soul Jazz? I never heard it.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

my friend (lf) just found out that all you have to do is ask.

― trees (treesessplode), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

baldelli/cosmic track id question here: track id - acid from 1981 or earlier, sounds like the knife

― lf (lfam), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

the rekid ep was hot

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 3 March 2006 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

the dj sets at lexx music look promising.

dude, what is up with the dancing bananas on that flyer?!

They're stoked and on E?

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

jeremy made the flyer. I don't even like bananas.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

nice OMD reference, but the picture of an ACTUAL dazzle ship on the flyer is even better.
