"Make My Day" is like "Slow Dying Places" with all the clicks and whirs and jitter riffs replaced with conventional kicks, snares, handclaps etc. I can see why this would disappoint some but I think it works tremendously.

^ Except I think Make My Day is more gradual in its transition. Honestly I'm a bit relieved, I wasn't that impressed with the three that had been around on soundcloud for ages - Good Stuff, Happy Strong & Spy - but they're the weakest tracks on the album. How You Look, Make My Day & Form In Void are the repeaters for me at the moment.

And yeah, Moodmusic is the perfect label for this to be on. We can only hope for a DJ Naughty remix (circa 2004-5).
― Jedmond, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 10:33 (twelve years ago) link
The drums are definitely bigger on Plus than on any other Luomo that I've heard.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 10:39 (twelve years ago) link
surprised no one is talking about Plus. "Good Stuff" is on repeat here.
― skip, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:05 (twelve years ago) link
I talked about it a lot upthread. But "Good Stuff" is def. my least favourite track.
― Tim F, Monday, 14 November 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
Need to spend some time with Plus but I'm to afraid this guy is diminishing returns.

Diminishing returns? Vocal City > Convivial = The Present Lover > Plus >> Paper Tigers. No diminish returns, yet. Also Plus, Sistol, and to a lesser degree the Quartet show Sasu having fun with new ideas - even if the execution isn't always quite there.

Latoma EP on echocord is pretty great.

I enjoy "Plus" a lot, "Spy" especially. Jedmond OTM.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 14 November 2011 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
i'd put plus over convivial and TPL over both. vocal city on top, of course.

Wow, is this good. I can't believe it came out of the Arctic Circle. I might finally break down and get the import!

Tim F. is right, it has a very dense sound, it's kind of weird. Certainly worth your time, but don't expect to be blown away at first. Holding out hope that it gets better.

Want to make one of those "brain lighting up" meme images but with "Tessio" --> "Synkro" --> "The Right Wing".

Vocalcity is still one of my go-to albums to throw on when I'm tired and not quite ready to fall asleep in bed. just let my mind wander

anyone know where this limited pressing of a remastered Vocalcity can be found? it was mentioned in a Bandcamp notification (which has also disappeared into the aether) but all I can find is the digital.

the blue vinyl Vocalcity remaster arrived!
it's a good remaster/reissue! kind of surprised with one track per side that it's 33rpm but it sounds nice

Damn, glad I saw this. I had no idea this was getting reissued. Is the blue version still available? I see the black on at Juno but the blue is gone at Boomkat.

An early internet search for Vocalcity was my first contact with ILM. It took me a lol of a long time to find site new answers. I swear that I thought ILM was just one thread (not this one, I don't think) about Luomo's Vocalcity for months after that.
