Long-shot question: anyone remember a track by a band in this genre called "Popocatepetl" from maybe 10-15 years ago? I thought it was Lapsus Linguae but I'm not getting anything from Google.

Pop-A-Cat-A-Petal was Ultrasound's name before they were Ultrasound, was that what you were thinking of? I think they did release some material under that name early on.
― Pheeel, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
never heard them but wasn't that the name of the singer from Ultrasound's band before he joined Ultrasound
er xp
I've seen it spelled like the volcano too I think?

Ah okay. This has helped. I think it's a track by them on one of the ORG Records compilations I was thinking of. I have to take a look through my old CD box.
― everything, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
i thought i had all the org comps but clearly i don't!
was going through boxes of 45s the other day to chuck in the skip and found a rich seam of monsoon bassoon records, timely..
― electricsound, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
Hmm, weren't all the Monsoon Bassoon recordings(including unreleased stuff) supposed to be coming out in a big box? Wonder what happened to that.
― Pheeel, Tuesday, 12 February 2013 23:14 (eleven years ago) link
Huh, I forgot about that, I was looking forward to buying it if it ever happens. And when oh when will the Deep Turtle retrospective finally come out?
(if anyone on this thread has not heard Deep Turtle, check out whatever you can find on youtube - There's a Vomitsprinkler in my Liverriver is a fine album and possibly the best album title ever - and join me in crying over the total out-of-print-ness of all of it. crazy Finns)

like a more seamless, less self-conscious mr bungle, but with possibly more range and better songwriting? and a slier humour? and more punk? camp blackfoot were mentioned upthread - their music is pretty much in this album's unhinged shadow (as is the mars volta, kinda)
each trilogy (interesting deconstruction of 'prog' as essentially consisting, short-story-style, of a beginning, middle and end) so far has been better than the one before it, and the first one was fucking amazing

outside of the Cardiacs themselves I don't really find much modern prog that compares to the good ol' bands but lately I realized that I prefer them over Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, etc

Anyhoo, permit me to shill a little of my past. We just put up on Bandcamp a math-y thing I was part of a number of years ago.

I already have that somewhere! (Thanks to you, admittedly.) It's very cool and I'll give it a good relisten today.
I can't get over how abysmal that video cr1msonh3xagon posted is. Out, negativity!
― delete (imago), Sunday, 31 March 2013 09:50 (eleven years ago) link
this Knifeworld album is really wonderful. I really hope another one comes along soon. I'm on my 4th listen, which is the point where I start to really unravel the structures of the tunes, and they're just so well put together. Miles ahead of Monsoon Bassoon (in my opinion)

― many machines on ilx (MaresNest), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link
sheesh it's like you're in the band or something
but your own music (at least, what i've heard of it) is a zillion times better than whatever that was, so you clearly aren't
― ... Jenks ... Neu! military£ ... snkkt! ... Özil ... ienjoyhotdogs (imago), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 23:16 (ten years ago) link
maybe the first couple of tracks are duff. what's your favourite track? there might be a good track.
like, for fuck's sake, you made an album suggestion not two days ago (shrubbies) and I listened to the album twice through and *adored* most of it. it's not like i regularly shit over your recommendations. quite the opposite. one happens to fall a bit flat and you go all bovine on me, what the hell

I've just ordered it! Turned out to be the following mouthwatering confection: https://thegenepool.f-ten.net/items/1108.htm
Can't wait to hear it.
In even-more-exciting news, Lapsus Linguae have put a nearly-finished version of the EP up. It's terrifyingly good. And to think it's the unpolished version of the starter course: http://lapsus-linguae.bandcamp.com/

The Exquisite Corpse Game is amazing :D
Pointless to pick favourite 'bits' - of all the devices to ensure full-album listening, privileging the whole over the parts, this is perhaps the most ingenious I've heard yet. Helps that the roster of artists have produced universally fine, mutually-understanding work

I *will* say that Max Tundra is on fairly riotous form, even by his standards.
