the track i uploaded isn't really indicative of the album as a whole. it's just that adam wanted bees.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:29 (eighteen years ago) link

any news on when it will be released?

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:44 (eighteen years ago) link

It's out on September 12th.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 22 July 2005 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

September is looking sweet. there's a full-length Heiko Voss album coming out on Firm in September, too! and a Misc. album on Sender in Sept as well.

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Heiko Voss might not be worth getting excited over, his Call Me Killer EP only really had the title track (which was admittedly brilliant), the rest was awful.

Is Heiko Voss Geiger?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:16 (eighteen years ago) link

no I thought so before but not the case I don't think .

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Heiko is one half of Schaeben & Voss though! :)

I would marry DJ koze

yeah i have to admit, this koze has taken a huge backseat to total6 over the last 24 hours.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 02:33 (eighteen years ago) link

want hear total 6.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 23 July 2005 03:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Baxendale - I Built This City (Michael Mayer Mix)

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 04:07 (eighteen years ago) link

need this badly

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 09:40 (eighteen years ago) link

hmmm, i am in cologne for the day. i wonder if they sell the records earlier than the general release date at the kompakt shop? if anyone knows could they post back quite soon (it's currently 4pm here) as i might make the effort. otherwise i'm going to go and try and sleep off a gargantuanly momentous hangover.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't remember but it's worth going just cos there's so much there! Although you probably own it all anyway so maybe not!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i am wavering as i am scared i'll spend a fortune and also i am right at the limit with my baggage allowance and don't want to get hit for the excess baggage. i think i'll try to re energise myself instead so i'm in the mood for mayer dj'ing later.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah be careful, I had to pay a ridiculous amount in excess baggage at Frankfurt!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:28 (eighteen years ago) link

here's 'Baxendale - I Built This City (Michael Mayer Mix)'

i am totally, totally obsessed with this:

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 15:48 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG THOSE VOCALS DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 15:53 (eighteen years ago) link

otm

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:05 (eighteen years ago) link

its even worse than this world (wighnohmys & wruhme mix). this shit has got to stop

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

it could be the worst vocal i have ever heard.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Fucking hell sounds like John Balance!

― oni0n_kid, Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

you are CRAZY.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean the verse part, fine, i see where you're coming from, but that payoff! wowowow.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:26 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, it does sound a bit like jbalance except horrible!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

haha i kinda like it, even though its an awful vocal, in a way.

but nothing, nothing could be worse than he vocam on slam's "this world", wighnomy remix or no. is there a dub version of their remix, cos i really like the tune, but the vocal is unbeliveably bad.

this on the other hand, is kinda stupid, but i quite like the falsetto bit. doesnt last very long though.

generally, shit vocals have got to stop though, i agree. "selection 3" to thread.

― ambrose (ambrose), Saturday, 23 July 2005 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i had blocked the slam track out of my mind - thanks ambrose, i need therapy again.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 17:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't mind his vocal too much, perhaps as it does sound a wee bit like john balance. it's the falsetto vocal to the end that grates, although maybe it'll grow on me. kind of underwhelmed though.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:15 (eighteen years ago) link

that's a re-recorded the vocal right?! it doesn't sound as good as on the original

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:34 (eighteen years ago) link

How can they get the music so right and the vocals so wrong? They should hire the lot of us as vocal/lyrical consultants.

The falsetto does warm some small place in my heart, though.

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's a re-recorded vocal too. The original "I Built This City" is amazing - it doesn't sound so Neil Tennant/spoken wordish, and the falsetto which comes in during the bridge is much more of a payoff. It's also much more disco pop than Mayer's version!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah I like the original 'I Built this City' way better than the remix as well! The remix would be way better without any vocals. The way he's done this remix reminds me of "Love is Stronger than Pride" -- substitute the "you you you you..." in place of "pride pride pride pride..." etc....except that track ruled and this doesn't.

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, there's a Wighnomy Dub of Slam's "This World." And I love that dominatrix vocal track on Selection 3, although I could see people thinking it's silly.

xpost - Does anyone know if the original "Built This City" will be on the 12" or is it just the Justus/Mayer mixes?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

how is the justus remix of 'i built this city'? i haven't heard that one.

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:46 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck the lyrical moaning, this sounds like the Pet Shop Boys! (and is hence great)

this sounded amazing in Glasgow that faithful night.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

and again in Dublin, this (a little less) miserable night!

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

you just need to get busted again.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I meant the night is a little less miserable having heard it!

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I have to say the Mayer remix is a certain type of track, it's really peak time plateau kind of stuff, the night he played he dropped it and it sounded like the greatest thing ever, just really *right* for that moment when the unspoken consensus that a DJ has done a really really good job seems to fall into a club from the sky. So like, particularly if you've got DJs good enough to do real journey type sets then this mix is fantastic I think.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

mayer played this tonight and in cologne and it sounded fantastic in the context of what he was playing but i still don't think i'd touch it with a bargepole. highlight of the night - justus koehncke - 'german clubs are the most boring in the world. mini maaal must die'.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 24 July 2005 03:41 (eighteen years ago) link

and i can still never spell 'kohncke'.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 24 July 2005 03:53 (eighteen years ago) link

It's awful, I really don't like it all. I'm not sure that any mix or huge system could save those vocals. Though possibly drugs might improve things, just long enough to wait for the next track...

― Mika, Sunday, 24 July 2005 05:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I love it. Ronan explains why.

Fuck how many times can I say also. Early morning sorry

― Slippage (Ross), Friday, 8 June 2018 14:29 (five years ago) link

Pick up makes me think of the article about Avicii talking about the key to universal appeal is to have lyrics that are easily understood by anyone & emotional but kind of empty of meaning, something like that

― badg, Friday, 8 June 2018 15:40 (five years ago) link

Lyrics to pick up aren’t empty tho

We’ve all felt that way

― Slippage (Ross), Friday, 8 June 2018 16:28 (five years ago) link

ten months pass...

Finally, a 12-inch release for Al Kent's infinitely superior Gladys Knight/Melba Moore mash-up - which is everything Koze's boring "Pick Up" could have been, if only he could have been arsed. I've been waiting for this for months, since hearing it on the radio just before Christmas.

one year passes...

if I play scratch that sufficiently loud, I can hear the backing for pick up very faintly in the background. which could mean murphy recorded the vocals for scratch that over pick up and koze just spun it into a new track. or it could mean kozes just fucking with me, which feels just as likely.
