Days of Mars is amazing but I often get sidetracked by the Relevee single/remixes and just listen to that

^both are great, as is Track 5, which might be my favorite thing by them, or on DFA

Track 5 is amazing. Out-carpenters carpenter.

Love Holy Ghost's "Dumb Disco Ideas".

first few minutes feel like HG! by numbers, would be much lesser song if they'd done an edit. this is partly bcz, as with everything bar I Will Come Back and Jam For Jerry, the lyrics are completely blank, so it works great that the vocals become more explicitly sheer decoration once the synths take off.
enjoying not being able to work out if the drums are pads or carefully produced acoustic kit; looking forward to the CD to see who's credited with cwbll

love the "dumb disco ideas" instrumental. could have been made circa "yeah" -- i like that.

Has it been said all over the place that the Blurred Lines instrumental sounds a lot like a 2004/2005-ish DFA track?

― electricsound, Thursday, 11 July 2013 00:57 (ten years ago) link
that's not odd although they are significantly worse than usual.
― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Thursday, 11 July 2013 22:36 (ten years ago) link
i don't normally have a problem with the singing but this has the feel of a rough guide vocal that never got replaced

Unmentioned above, but the The Juan Maclean returned with a single in April:

Nancy Whang's vocal aside, its not as endearingly idiosyncratic as past outings. And I like Whang more on Classix's "All You're Waiting For".

not really into it. it's great that he had this complicated algorithm for deciding which background samples to use or whatever, but it's not really borne out in the music, idk.

I'm a few years behind but the Peter Gordon & Love of Life Orchestra album is so so good. Got the sensuous smoothness of 'Still You' and the ridiculous and lovely mess that is 'That Hat' on a loop here.

"I Wanna Be Your Hand" off the Holy Ghost album is better than the single.

Some days I think 'Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Rise (DFA Mix)' is the best thing they ever released.

The Holy Ghost! album is one of my fav DFA things. Took a bunch of plays but now I'm into just about every song on the album.

Being assisted by James Murphy could be the best thing to happen to New Order in years. Unfortunately DFA says it ain't happening. So bummed.

cannot believe i have not done this before, but i have just set up a playlist that puts 'moon unit' parts 1-4 by mogg and naudascher in order that were spread across the 2cd set, nobody knows.
question :
why on earth did they mix up the ordering on the comp, and, were they ever released as a standalone release as an ep/mini-lp ?

Although Murphy always rubbed me slightly the wrong way, I've been really enjoying listening to the MSG live stuff on Spotify - incredible band.

IDK, xp, it's on Spotify. I also watched the film, which is pretty good.

was on uk tv channel film4 a few months back .. forgot to record it .. next time i'll grab it ..
(saw them live at glastonbury 2005, and they were truly fantastic. which given it was late sunday and i was in a rather damaged state is a statement to just how wonderful their set was)

Looks like nobody picked up on "I Ain't Gonna Tell You" but as of ten minutes ago it's my favourite piece of 2014 disco revivalism.

I loved it! But yeah, it didn't get the attention it deserved upon release.
I'm still waiting on people to notice what Dan Bodan's been doing- his first two singles ("DP" and "Aaron") were pretty meh, but the subsequent stuff has been wonderful, especially the M.E.S.H.-produced "Anonymous":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzEaoK6n5TE
