The fuzz electric guitar at the end of "Mighty Girl" is great. It's so live, it's like if Tortured Soul were actually, you know, inventive and had a techno edge to them.

Anyway that's my favorite so far.

Am finding it hard to listen to "Breakfast in Heaven" due to my brane making an irritating connection with Andrew Lloyd Webber's music for "Cats" arrgh

the breakdown is gorgeous, though

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 18 May 2006 19:08 (eighteen years ago) link

"Mighty Girl" almost has a latin vibe to it.. a gesture towards Villalobos, Luciano..?

two months pass...
I loved the Mungolian Jet Set remix of "A Blast of Loser" (on the recent Feedelity Remixed 12" - the slow balearic Brennan Green remix of another track on the flip is ace as well) so much that I went in search of the Mungolian Jet Set myspace page and listened to some stuff there.

Anyway, turns out they're some sort of "future jazz" group - which seems to mean bizarro sampladelic percussive jazzy meanderings which sound great but not what I was expecting.

What i was expecting though was matched and exceeded in the "Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix" - not sure what this track is, I think it might be a remix of LSB's "Original Highway Delight", the original of which I haven't heard, but was out recently on 12" on Eskimo.

But just play it, it's this astonishingly huge psychedelic italo-disco track, with bona fide ridiculous high-pitched vocals lurking somewhere towards the end. I can't stop listening to it! Who the fuck are these guys?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 13:03 (seventeen years ago) link

tsk ned now I sound like the street teamer engaging in stealth marketing.

But yes! I dunno. Depends. Do they do more mind-expanding disco than these 2 remixes?

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 13:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I really like that kreeps remix of theirs.

I nearly bumped this thread meself as there's a lindstrom comp called it's a feedelity affair coming out, comprising most of the 12" releases.

the"mungolian" thing is all "flash gordon" references, right??

I am playing this loud at work. Good thing all the noon-time swimmers already came in.

*snaps fingers*

trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Seconding the love for the Kreeps remix - I think Ronan wrote about for Stylus. Also know they did a remix for Pizzy Yelliot on Trailer Park - in fact I think they are (or at least partly are) Pizzy Yelliot.

No no, that was meant to be positive! I hope.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Waah, Ronan's writing:

"On the other side, Mungolian Jet Set’s “Exit To The Ja-Ja” mix is quite a curious piece of schaffel which morphs into psychedelic disco halfway through its eight minute journey, then goes a little Happy Mondays at the end; interesting."

So yes, they have done more than two remixes of mind-expanding disco.

Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Lindstrom also has a good, psyched-out remix of Telex's "Do Worry" out now (on same ep as a good Bangkok Impact mix)

Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

where can this be found:

"Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix"

because the Eskimo 12" was one-sided with the original mix only, afaik.

something less threatening (heywood), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, a white-label advance one-sided pressing of the Serious Syntoms mix of Lindstrom's "The Contemporary Fix" came out a few weeks ago, which is super dope. no sign yet of the actual Serious Syntoms tunes, which were promo'd on CDR a year or so ago. the original "Fix" is Lindstrom at his best, incorporating a banjo in the mix this time, sounding positively country-disco. awesome!

something less threatening (heywood), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

"Lsb Ohd Mungolian Mix"

is available on the Mungolian's myspace page

Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I am totally digging this shit so hard right now.

trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

mungolian jet set is a guy called dj strangefruit who is a stalwart of the oslo scene and has been dj'ing for 20+ years. he is also pizzy yelliot.

the original lindstrom mix of 'the contemporary fix' has just been promoed too and is a 303 disco monster. kind of like hardfloor's 'acperience' if it had been written with the paradise garage in mind.

there's a whole host of new full pupp 12"s about to come out too - all great.

just noticed this. i'm sure there isn't a banjo in the version i have.

you're killing me.

maybe they'll play this when i see them in norway next month.

geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

where are you going in norway? i just had one of my best gigs ever in oslo. good, good times.

stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll be in stavanger to cover the numusic festival (www.numusic.no). i'm psyched to see lindstrom/prins thomas/todd terje/andy weatherall/pierre henry/some others. i was hopinghopinghoping optimo would be on the bill, but you can't have everything :(

geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

that pizzy yelliot 12" is ridiculous. i love it.

if this is the original version i hear something that could be a banjo line. the full version is on the feedelity myspace. is there somewhere where one could sample the Serious Symptoms version?

grady (grady), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

mungolian jet set is amazing live. just been to their gig at sunkissed/blaa, oslo (the same place you just played stirmonstre)

people went crazy when they played their pizzy yelliot tune as well as their remix of the kreeps... lovely just lovely.

it must be warm to perform in their mungolian outfits tho...

they have to live setups. one is more electronic (with mainly just paal nyhus aka strangefruit and knut saevik)and the other one is more jazz with a full band.

the mungolian jet set album on the norwegian label jazzland has been postponed for some years, but will finally be released this fall (hopefully). this will be accompanied by the technon thai/navigator 12".

their remix of original highway delight by l.s.b. (pete herberts project) will be out in a couple of months on eskimo recordings.

a forthcoming remix will be of richard wagner (!!!!)

superbadger (superbadger), Thursday, 17 August 2006 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Liking the mungolian jet set in between myspace farking rebuffering bitches.

Anyone heard L&PT part 2 yet?

rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

btw there surely is banjo or something that sounds like a banjo in the original version of the contemporary fix (the one with the 303). there is also banjo in his serious symtoms mix (the one-sided promo and the version on his myspace).

anyway the track borrows heavily from il veliero by the chaplin band and that track contains banjo for sure.

superbadger (superbadger), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

if the version on the white label and the myspace page is the SS remix, where can i hear the original?

and if its not a banjo, maybe a dulcimer?

grady (grady), Thursday, 17 August 2006 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i'd say a dulcimer. it almost sounds john barryesque.

stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 17 August 2006 23:22 (seventeen years ago) link

hehe! a dulcimer it is then...

superbadger (superbadger), Thursday, 17 August 2006 23:58 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, possibly a dulcimer. i haven't listened to it in a couple days but i could *swear* i heard banjo! stir, any details on that new full pupp stuff?

and:
>Anyone heard L&PT part 2 yet?

huh? what's this?

something less threatening (heywood), Friday, 18 August 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

the new full pupp 12"s are blackbelt andersson - alfaz del pi, magnus international - kosmetisk and prins thomas - fehrara.

superbadger (superbadger), Friday, 18 August 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

blackbelt andersen that is...

superbadger (superbadger), Friday, 18 August 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

thoughts on the prins thomas stephen malkmus remix? i think it sounds rather alright.

jermaine (jnoble), Friday, 18 August 2006 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

stir: spot on. another listen tonight confirms the dulcimer!

something less threatening (heywood), Saturday, 19 August 2006 06:33 (seventeen years ago) link

"the original lindstrom mix of 'the contemporary fix' has just been promoed too and is a 303 disco monster. kind of like hardfloor's 'acperience' if it had been written with the paradise garage in mind."

Although stirmonster's description is spot on, I was surprised to find myself thinking "yep, definitely Lindstrom!" when I first heard it - there's something so immediately identifiable about his sonic signature now. But it is quite distinct, absolute massive and ridiculously spacey and a bit cold (all the better for galactic travel my dear), like he finally decided to do a sequel to "I Feel Space". Luvvit.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 20 August 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I just picked up the original mix at Halcyon and CANNOT STOP LISTENING. maybe in a few days i'll want to hear something else.

two weeks pass...
Haven't seen a post about this yet:

lindstrom - it's a feedelity affair (STS126CD/CD)
1. fast & delirious
2. limitations
3. music (in my mind)
4. cane it for the original whities
5. there's a drink in my bedroom and i need a hot lady
6. further into the future
7. i feel space
8. arp she said
9. gentle as a giant
10. another station
11. the contemporary fix

(from smalltown supersound :)
It is with great pleasure that Smalltown Supersound can announce that the label will release Lindstrom`s debut album "It's a Feedelity Affair" in collaboration with Lindstrom himself and his Feedelity label. The album will be released the 23th. of October 2006 and includes among others his hits "Another Station" and "I Feel Space". The liner notes are written by NYC producer Daniel Wang.

Both Smalltown Supersound and Lindstrom/Feedelity are from Norway and a mutual trust, respect and understanding led to this collaboration. Lindstrom has obviously got many offers from records labels around the world, but he chose to stay independent and have control of his own music. Smalltown Supersound on the other hand found a soulmate in Lindstrom and the perfect sound for the label in Lindstroms`s music. Lindstrom fitted perfectly with the labels electro/electronica/pop roster with artists such as Bjorn Torske, Tussle, 120 Days, Kim Hiorthoy, Toy, Lars Horntveth, Jaga Jazzist and Mental Overdrive, the core of the label being Norwegian electronic music.

Lindstrom`s career took off after a string of critically acclaimed 12" singles that alone started a movement the press later would call "space disco". He is also well known for his remixes and has among others remixed LCD Soundsystem, Roxy Music, Franz Ferdinand, Annie and DFA`s Juan McLean. Last year Lindstrom also released a duo album with Norwegian DJ and friend Prins Thomas, titled "Lindstrom and Prins Thomas", an album that was released on Eskimo Records to wide critical acclaim. His most famous track and 12" , "I Feel Space" (released on both Playhouse and Feedelity), has now sold 17 000 copies, an impressive number these days for a vinyl only release. But now its finally time to compile all of Lindstrom`s seminal 12" on CD and download for the first time. The album also includes The Contemporary Fix, a new track from the 12" vinyl-single which has already been supported by Pete Tong and Annie Mac on BBC radio. Early in 2007 we will also release a single/EP from the album with a remix by EYE of the Boredoms.

Available on CD on the 23rd of october 2006 on feedelity / smalltown supersound

wow eye remix

Dominique (dleone), Monday, 11 September 2006 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i just got back from norway...i've been trying to figure these guys out. i saw todd terje and prins thomas do a tag-team dj set that totally blew my brain. i wish i had been able to record it.

geeta (geeta), Monday, 11 September 2006 06:42 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost - yay, this 'album' is a compilation then?

I manage to stay always out of the loop on Lindstrom stuff for some reason, good opportunity to find out what all the fuss ("I Feel Space" excepted) is about!

fandango (fandango), Monday, 11 September 2006 07:14 (seventeen years ago) link

The comp works really well - "The Contemporary Fix" is as good as everyone says it is.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 11 September 2006 07:42 (seventeen years ago) link

here's a Lindstrom live set from Gothenburg in August. if you're curious about what the full-length Lindstrom album coming next year is going to sound like, my best guess is this. mostly new material!

something less threatening (heywood), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 00:31 (seventeen years ago) link

new (original?) version of Contemporary Fix up on the myspace.

grady (grady), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:55 (seventeen years ago) link

what's the difference in the lp and cd versions of the major swellings album?

T. Weiss (Timmy), Monday, 18 September 2006 01:22 (seventeen years ago) link

xx-post: the one marked 'version' is the original.

trees (treesessplode), Monday, 18 September 2006 01:30 (seventeen years ago) link

T. Weiss: the cd has got two extra tracks. Major Swellings remix of Stephen Malkmus is very yummy methinks.
