fabulous clothes, look at all the fabulous people!

the Eclectic aesthetic (ugh, horrible name) mixes are pretty darn good too.

I just paid through the nose for the 2-cd Three Chairs album, but it is stunning.

is this the same thing as that triple-vinyl set that was recently released?

― tricky disco, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

i just checked and there are 6 extra tracks on the cds that aren't on the vinyl...

― tricky disco, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 21:09 (nineteen years ago) link

so what's the consensus on cd-only bonus tracks on vinyl-centric releases? Filler or killer?

― Loose Translation: Sexy Dancer (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 21:16 (nineteen years ago) link

annoyer.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

it doesn't bother me, but coming from these guys it seems kind of strange.

― tricky disco, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 23:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Three Chairs on CD? Good deal. I asked the guy at Record Time (in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale) if it was coming out on CD and he didn't even know. Glad I held off on purchasing the vinyl.

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link

The second cd has the following listing:

Instant insanity (the 9/11 track, sirens, interviewees, Marvin Gaye)
Patterns indangerous
Richey on seven
Next message (the only dud, a ten-minute trawl through answering machine messages)
Muffled memories
Good kiss

My opinion, killer, with the exception noted above.

The first disc is the same as the vinyl.

― paul c (paul c), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 12:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Instant Insanity is available as a Sound Signature white-label.
I wanna know, though: who would ever play this one out?
"There were people falling out of windows"
chilling shit.

I hate that record - it's one of the very few Theo things I dislike. It sounds cheap and tossed-off

i went to hear these guys (3 chairs) play last night and it was wickedly good. there was plenty of 112 bpm cut-up eq madness, but also utterly bizarre (and good!) track segues like "love hangover" mutating via something tracky into "flash" by fix. kdj is a great dj and he worked the crowd brilliantly playing tracks from the new 3 chairs release, all 7 minutes of "controversy" by prince, "blue monday", and dirty italo. the music felt like it came on in waves (i was not on drugs either). i missed the last half hour, but it was one of those nights where you leave the venue sweaty, buzzed, and spent, but bounce all the way home anyway. the detroit boys come to chicago to show us how it's done. woo!

― tricky disco, Sunday, 8 August 2004 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

does anybody have any word on what the distro and pressing #s are like for the 3 chairs album?? should i hurry up and order it online or should i wait patiently for it to reach my indie shop / tower records??

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 8 August 2004 19:17 (nineteen years ago) link

i need to get into theo's stuff more.

― splooge (thesplooge), Monday, 9 August 2004 12:08 (nineteen years ago) link

cant find much of his stuff on soulseek. which is very annoying.

Can't believe I've slept on the Ugly Edits series for so long. I've never fully gotten into any of Theo's albums, but each release in the UE series has blown me away and converted me into a fan.

He's also playing in Boston on 9/11. I have no idea what to expect.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Ok, I saw him play yesterday and he totally blew me away. He played a lot of stuff similiar to his Ugly Edits but much more extreme. Th most wild EQing I've heard in my life; some of the hard trebly parts where really grating in a good way. Some of the (few) tracks I noticed was a bizarre detroit/jazzy cover of "Conquering Lion" and Jamie Principle's "Your Love."

There was one amazing tune at around 90 BPM or so that had a vocal sample "I'm gonna put on my dancing shoes and go out." Does anyone know it? It sounded a lot like the Jill Scott remix, but with male vocals.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 22:29 (eighteen years ago) link

that is some mind-bending drone disco. still sold out everywhere?

― ziti sanskrit (sanskrit), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 22:51 (eighteen years ago) link

His show last year on 9/11 was one of the best sets I've ever heard.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

D : DJ Genesis "Back in the Middle" remix, "Took Me All The Way Back", "China Trax".
I think I had every release/mix including 3 Chairs (which didn't turn out to be a supergroup, it even seems to be less than the sum of its parts) until The Rotating Assembly releases. Destroy most of those !

― blunt (blunt), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

still sold out everywhere?

i bought it for a friend a couple of weeks ago so think it has been repressed. the biggest record of the last few months for me, no contest.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 9 February 2006 00:07 (eighteen years ago) link

let me know if it is poor form to do this outside of the ysi thread, but it is just epic.

― ziti sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

"Falling Up" is the best remix I've heard in ages. Tremendous. Reminds me of Coil in places - dunno why exactly - but , damn - when's that new album coming?

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:04 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) and thanks for that Mssr. Nutrament. If it hadn't been for you I probably would never have heard this. New Theo 12"s are nearly impossible to find in NYC and I always have to wonder -- who buys them all? I never hear any of my dj friends play TP out, which is a shame.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:07 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) And by "new album" I mean Carl Craig's.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:08 (eighteen years ago) link

it seems like a lot are sold in the UK online shops, but maybe that's just them being ahead of the curve? I guess some are sold in Detroit and Chicago? The only thing I've seen in NYC are UE boots.

― ziti sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:12 (eighteen years ago) link

it came out as a really limited 10" (300 copies) then got heavily bootlegged in europe so i'm guessing that's why they have made more of the 10" available. interesting that it reminds you of coil jay vee.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Also search ! TP's remix of "In The Bush" by Kent on Bearfunk.

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 9 February 2006 02:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, you can generally find Theo's stuff at Record Time in Ferndale/Roseville (aka Detroit 'burbs). I'm pretty sure they have mailorder, but can't say for sure (I live near the one store).

theo at the redbull music academy

― micarl (micarl), Sunday, 12 February 2006 00:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks so much for that link...I was going to go see Mr. Parrish DJ tonight here in Toronto, but this lecture is hitting the spot. Red Bull Music Academy on the whole is quite the goldmine!

― C.D., Sunday, 12 February 2006 05:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i wish he'd come back to new zealand again.

Okay, so it looks like Theo is the cover star of the newest Groove magazine. I know one of you has translated the article and is ready to paste it all here for us to enjoy right? Also, the cd that comes with this issue has a track called "Jam One" by Mr. Parrish and it looks like it says it's from the album Stereotype to be released in Fall 2006. There is some other message after this that I can't translate (probably something like "This album may not actually come out ever, but we can surely hope"). This information can be seen here: http://www.groove.de/tracklist.php?id=18

― matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, so my actual question was: does anyone have any details about this new album Stereotype?

― matt2 (matt2), Thursday, 27 July 2006 00:07 (seventeen years ago) link

groove cover? why are germans and japonais always so ahead of the curve?

Apparently, there is a new Theo triple vinyl on the way. Couldn't be more excited. The sound clips justify the excitement:

― matt2, Thursday, 22 February 2007 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

did anyone reach theo @ plastic people on sunday? so good. really want an id on the first track he played, a slow lurching shuffley house groove replete with out of time massively swung hi hats and a guy singing "we're going downstairs, we're going downstairs" or something for like 15 minutes. pretty sure it was a theo production. i lost my mind at the point where he dropped what i assume was one of the ugly edits that i aint heard yet, 20 + minutes of this shivery funk guitar thing that culminated in dudes literally on their hands and knees pounding the ground in some kind of religious fervour. so so good. he played lots of good acid as well in his everything-and-the-kitchen sink stylee.

― rio natsume, Thursday, 22 February 2007 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

listening to those soundclaps he def played the first tune with the vocal (which was ace) and i think the last acidy one.

― rio natsume, Thursday, 22 February 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

those parrish mix cds are still yoga flame for all time. keep on using the EQ knob like it's gonna fall off if you don't, theo.

― strongohulkington, Thursday, 22 February 2007 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Is this a positive or negative statement "yoga flame for all time"? If I had heard one, I guess I'd know judging by whether he fiddled with the EQ on them, but are you telling me to get this or not.

― matt2, Thursday, 22 February 2007 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

does anyone know if this is any good?

― haitch, Thursday, 22 February 2007 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

It's the heavy heavy monsta sound! Slow, deep & hard w/ear-shattering hi hats.

― blunt, Friday, 23 February 2007 02:54 (seventeen years ago) link

comes in at 29' in this streamed dj mix (use realplayer to listen):

and Rush Hour says it's "In next week!" I wonder how long that's been the case, though.

The mp3 clips for it at Hardwax sound amazing.

― ꙮ (map), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 23:32 (eleven months ago) link

it’s good— except for the first track and the other DeSean Jones track. first one is poorly constructed, and the religious bombast and wretched gospel singing of the second are huge turnoffs. and i LIKE gospel house, i just don’t think the Jones guy’s songs are any good, and his voice isn’t great, either.

― Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Wednesday, 10 May 2023 11:30 (eleven months ago) link

aw i like the jones track & the first track is a gorgeous highlight, wtflol. my fav might be the deon jamar track, sounds like a funkier e2-e4 - divine

anyway...
