Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

This single is awwwwesome.

I felt like I was the only one who liked "6 Cups"-- though I heard it did well in Italy

Part of me suspected that the enormous amount of comb-filtering put people off, made the whole thing sound like Youtube audio when played through laptop speakers

The fact that he forgot to write any tunes, and filled up the record with sub-Mungolian Jetset jokiness was more what killed it for me.

But this is a return to form, and Mr Hans-Peter is cordially welcomed back to my vagina post haste.

That's a relief!

i liked it too. i don't think it was jokey at all. maybe a bit "difficult sophomore album" i guess. xp

To both of us, I'm sure ;-) x-post to Owen

I just have terrible memories of that "All I want is a quiet place to live" song that went on FOREVER with the vocals growing more and more grating. Maybe I should give it another spin, but I'm just traumatised by the memory.

There were reports of Lindstrom suffering from crippling writer's block when trying to make that album and it shows, there's a load of bluster to disguise the lack of tunes. Maybe he's just loosened up now the pressure's off.

Can I say something now and not get in shit for it?

::readies bucket of horse slop::

mmmmmmmaybe?

Oh I'm too embarrassed never mind

No, come on, out with it. ::hides horse bucket behind back::

ach ffffuck it. I have a white label remix of a Lindstrom track coming out next week. Judge away, it's my first one, like, the first time I've got up the nerve to put out any techno music.

(I made all the drum sounds on the ARP after fastidiously watching all these Vince Clarke instructional videos)

cool man

Embarrassing?

::swaps horse bucket for rose petals and daisy chains and festoons them about your head::

This is going to be super-awesome amazing (and I would say that without the ILX connection) and I am so excited to hear it!

Well, I'm proud of it as a first effort (otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it) but it's not gonna raise the wigs of any techno hardheads. Thanks guys you're sweet.

Love Lindstrom and Prins Thomas together. Lindstrom & Todd Terje is not too shabby either.

ówen, is that white label you're referring to different from this? (posted on lindstrøm's fd wall/twitter last week) http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/Lindstrom-DeJavuNoReleaseRubNTugOwenPallettRemixes-SmalltownSupersound-84897.html

That is the one.

wow, cool! anyplace i can hear it?

"The OwP remix is a Prins Thomas favourite and has been played a lot by him already."

I didn't think 6 cups was jokey either. I just feel like I didn't give it the time to get into enough. I know at some point I will. It's not the kind of thing that needs to be arresting from the outset anyway.

Nice, Owen! I can't wait to hear your first (released) foray into techno. I've made some things over the last year but too embarrassed to let anyone hear 'em. Plus, you know, I'm not a real musician.

lol, thanks matt

right on owen! can't wait to hear it!!!

these new tracks are bloody great. and echoing everyone, really looking fwd to the remix OP!

Is the Soundcloud link we're raving about the original or a Todd Terje remix (or a collaboration)?

Rà-àkõ-st? Lindstrom original, mixed by Terje.

actually now i'm not sure - i just checked the juno link where it says (Todd Terje extended edit) for both ra-ako-st and eg-ed-osis. I guess it's a collab?

Ra-ako-st is pretty good but Eg-ed-osis is AMAZING. It just goes up and up and up!

For Immediate Release

LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, SMALHANS, OUT NOVEMBER 5TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND

LISTEN TO SMALHANS’ “RÁ-ÁKÕ-ST” NOW

Smalhans is the fifth solo album by Norwegian producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, and his second album to come out in 2012. Earlier this year he released Six Cups of Rebel, which was a very personal album for Lindstrøm and showed his more experimental side. Now, this forthcoming record, out November 5th on Smalltown Supersound, finds Lindstrøm back on the dance floor with six monumental tracks – classic Lindstrøm style.

Smalhans was mixed by his friend Todd Terje, who has also made extended edits which will be released as 12”s. The album title is an old Norwegian word and means scarcity or simply poverty. Each track on the album is titled after a traditional Norwegian meal.

Smallhans is Lindstrøm at his very best, perfected by Todd Terje.

fwiw "råkost" = shredded raw vegetables

Sweeeeeeeet.

All these are kind of great!

I noticed that was up for pre-order on iTunes for $6.99 when I bought the new tracks the other day.

WHY IS HER HAND SO SMALL?!

there is a blog that 'shops people's hands to make them tiny. i suppose that explains the how more than the why.
