sorry, it's a bad month/year, life stinks and Heatwarmer did nothing to make me feel any better, *whether Cardiacsy or no*

besides, soon the belated lapsus linguae will bulldoze thru these petty differences and unite the whole avant-prog division into a single unending rapture

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

Devious brownie-points to Dominique for completely changing his tune (as 'twere) with exactly twenty seconds to go, you big troublemaker you ;)
― check yr poptimism (imago), Friday, 4 October 2013 13:00 (ten years ago) link
I *will* say that Max Tundra is on fairly riotous form, even by his standards.
Sheesh, this record could have been called Amazing Segues: The Album. This is the proggest thing ever :D

Imago, I have a question for you, if you'll indulge me. There is a post from some years ago somewhere on ilx (perhaps on this very thread) in which you mention the Liverpool band a.P.A.t.T. and mention that despite them being the kind of thing that you like you hadn't been very impressed by any of the tracks by them that you'd heard. Have you heard any more a.P.A.t.T. since then? Have you changed your opinion of them at all?

There's a band from Liverpool called a.P.a.T.T. on the other hand who are yet to square their immensely whimsical ambitions with not sounding like a load of show-offy kids on maximum annoying mode. It's a sort of cutesy-arty-sans-craft melange of not-actually-very-good ideas with the occasional bright spark.
This the post, I'd forgotten than I could just put 'a.P.A.t.T.' into the search box, somehow.
― it was discovered that there's no rule that a dog cannot play basketball (bends), Friday, 11 October 2013 23:49 (ten years ago) link
How very rude of me. There was a second album. I liked one of the songs, a silly spook-out called Two Fifths Julie Walters. There was an ever-so-arch straight-pop 'prank' called Yves Saint-Laurent which was awful. The rest I completely forget (think the opening track Liverwort wasn't bad though). Why do you ask?
― imago, Friday, 11 October 2013 23:53 (ten years ago) link
No particular reason, I searched for a.P.A.t.T on ilx and found that post, probably years ago now and the thread just reminded me of them. I sat next to a couple of them once at a showing of 'It Came From Outer Space' with a live soundtrack by Pere Ubu at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

I felt like I was in with the in crowd.
Haha! You were in with a crowd. Maybe their third album will nail it. Far too goofy-without-substance for me as it stands though.
Incidentally, this song is pretty much what the computer would come up with if you put everything I liked into it at the same time: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/mutation-napalm-death-the-wildhearts-and-the-fall-new-song

Error 500 is amazing, of course. The White Leg songs are pretty much roided-out Sing To God songs (thanks Jon Poole!)
The title-track from the Shrubbies album stands alongside any NSRO material, maybe (that's a monstrous call coming from me)

Okay, so Regal Worm have been doing it for me recently and are not unlike Knifeworld in spots.

They seem to be genuinely inspired by yer Soft Machines and King Crimsons without slavishly trying to repeat them

Long-running sort of pronk from the Czech Republic (I don't know why the video's pulsating like that in the youtube link though).

Time of Orchids were something fucking special, and relevant to the thread I think. Both of their drummers have been/are now in Kayo Dot if that's relevant to you. Wonderful twisty avant-math-prog with some goose-bump inducing melodies (on their last two albums at least... their early work isn't so hot).

MaresNest, what's the latest on This Is Puberty? The Kickstarter updates have stopped coming :P

Actually, I'm not too sure. I know that Calum is shouldering most of the responsibility when it comes to manufacturing, mailing and all the rest, he might still be dealing with the tail end of the Ghosts EP.
Oh and also, Kitten Pyramid are this other band that I have been digging recently who are a kind of electro/acoustically Glam/Barrett/Ayers thing with Atom Heart Mother interludes with possibly some very early Cardiacs.

Also LJ, do you know this OLD rekkid?
The best thing ever, nobody cares and it sold bugger all but I still listen to it all the time, it's genuinely odd and lovely.
Old Lady Drivers were this pretty awful death metal joke band and then they truncated their name and made this which is more like a glacial, druggy Young Gods.
James Plotkin made most of it with just the singer iirc. The whole thing is on YT

And it sold so badly (one of Earache's worst selling ever) you can still buy a new/original copy from them for a fiver on Ebay.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 15 March 2014 01:15 (ten years ago) link
um, holy fucking shit @ OLD
― You cannot interrupt his tea stirring because it is his holy trick (imago), Saturday, 15 March 2014 01:49 (ten years ago) link
I listened to Infantephant and it was cool if a bit too noodly - will try again soon. Then I listened to Naked City :D
Time Of Orchids I need to devote a bit more time to, maybe over the weekend
Might go for Kitten Pyramid next, that's an enticing write-up
this OLD is simply magnificent
― You cannot interrupt his tea stirring because it is his holy trick (imago), Saturday, 15 March 2014 01:50 (ten years ago) link
Kitten Pyramid like a beefed-up, weirded-out take on Silvery's glam-prog shenanigans. They're fucking great

Giving the Kitten Pyramid EP another go-around (it's a remarkably varied 12 minutes) and then I might explore that OLD record more deeply. It sounds like absolutely nothing else I've heard

Listening to it in order. Halfway through 'Break (You)'. Completely overwhelmed tbh, this is insanely good

There's one track where they just splice in 30 secs of an Old Lady Drivers bootleg or something for no perceivable reason, it's quite strange.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 15 March 2014 03:03 (ten years ago) link
LOL literally AS I read that, it happened :D about a minute into Thug. They bleed the original song back in really beautifully, in fact
