I read this as meaning you'd heard he was loaded from LISTENING to the music!
Does he have a song about being loaded? With breathy cut up vocals and an echoey Maurizio-indebted bassline?

I ordered it from Other Music but they took three weeks to tell me they didn't stock it. I'm hoping to find it when I'm in London and Berlin next month. It is absolutely TOP of my list.

Luomo!
― admrl, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 01:36 (sixteen years ago) link
so does any other Luomo come close to Vocalcity? I've heard a few tracks but nothing really seems as good.
― Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link
no.
― jed_, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 02:13 (sixteen years ago) link
my friend sent me a luomo track called "mirrorball" which is real nice, i don't know if its on an album i don't have or what
the only other album by him i like as much as vocalcity is vladislav delay - the four quarters which is not really dance music of course
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 02:19 (sixteen years ago) link
i still like present lover more than vocalcity
― deej, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 07:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I got a mint copy of Vocalcity for £6 second hand a month ago!
I MUCH prefer it to Present Lover, but it has so much bass the needle literally jumps out of the groove on my nice turntable. Have to put the tracking force to about 3 to get it to play. Sounds great, though.
(I don't think that's why it was only 6 pounds, as it plays fine on cheap direct drive turntable)
― Jamie T Smith, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 12:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Ah, Vocalcity what a masterpiece of sound design, texture, and deep house grooving. Everything else, what a dissapointment :( I sold my copy of the Present Lover after, well, not too long, at the time I deemed it something to the effect of fashion show runway house. It hurts me to say this to, what I've heard of his even later stuff is well, I don't want to be too harsh on him. Nevertheless, all is beyond forgotten because his stuff as Uuisitalo is better than ever, some reallllllly good tracks, a return to dance-music form, and how.

"Convivial" is not a title that fills me me with any great hope or aniticipation, I must say.

Also, my "Jake Shears!" comment was surprise, not excitement. If anything, he makes me skeptical.

when vlad delay finally played in NYC, it was because he was also sneaking into the scissor sisters' studio to finish up the album.

that wire thing had really cool photos of his studio

I'm very confident about this (I don't know if I should be). Although I must say I've taken University courses which require less work than following his recent output.
xposts. it's a pity that the first time I see someone else use that Richard Hamilton pun and not replace 'homes' with 'house'. It's just much more clever that way!

What makes today's Techno so different, so appealing, so acceptable to 20something yupsters in graphic design jobs who drive VWs
― sous les paves, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Let me elaborate on the first point though. I think a prime reason I thought the present lover was so bunk was that largely because the vocals were just. kind of haphazardly thrown in there. I think with Cassy and Robert Owens (which got a whoa out of me), I'm confident he's going to not only have fancy vocalists (who will ideally write better lyrics than the stuff in TPL and what have you), but they're the type where the sound design is crafted around the vocals (in other works, please! no more of those irritating, kind of drunk-sounding synths!)
― mehlt, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 20:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i love the vocals in TPL! :/

Between the last two posts I'm really starting to thing that my dislike of the present lover isn't just me.
― mehlt, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:04 (fifteen years ago) link
seriously, if the dude says he doesn't like vocalcity and meant for it to come out totally different, then i don't trust him to make music i like now that he's refined his technique.
― elan, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link
he doesn't like vocalcity? in that case i agree with you, elan. TPL isn't all that great. i love "So You" so much though.
― jed_, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:31 (fifteen years ago) link
The Present Lover is probably my favourite record of all time!
― admrl, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:34 (fifteen years ago) link
What's strange to me is that Vocalcity and The Present Lover are so different and yet equal in my affections, whereas The Present Lover and Paper Tigers are so similar and yet I adore one and never listen to the other.
Or maybe it's not so strange: if Paper Tigers had ventured further afield perhaps its glaring inferiority vis a vis The Present Lover would be less of an issue. But it's hard to understand how/why Luomo dropped the ball.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:52 (fifteen years ago) link
i would easily take TPL over vocalcity. i like the quirky murky meandering imprecision of vc but easily choose rhythmically taught cohesion over it every time
― deej, Tuesday, 12 August 2008 23:52 (fifteen years ago) link
See that's the thing, I don't hear it as rhythmically taught cohesion, I hear it as essentially throwing away what made VC so damn interesting, instead, making it kind of simple, unadventurous, and well, boring (NB Luomo was one of the first dance acts I ever got into, me being an IDM-head of sorts before. And while Tessio was a grand realization of sorts, it didn't even really catch up to me until much more recently). I mean, he does vocal house well enough (although I seemed to remember him taking a big turn for the worse in making his synths a lot more I guess, wonky and off-kilter, and later on a bit shrill, I think. Nevertheless, I would still prefer Vocalcity sans the rhythmic all-over-the placeness over TPL).

It took me a decade since the first time I ever heard it, but I’ve finally realized The Right Wing is an extraordinarily strong track. I used to think it was the album’s dullest moment, but now I’m realizing just how strong that beat is!
