Theo being Theo. I do love the Footwork / Tympanic Warfare single though.

'ah' kind of drags on waaaay too long
i feel like i'll never get the reasoning behind including slow-slow-slow music on house and techno albums, it never seems like the downtempo-ish tracks work, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone from trying
― j., Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link
man i love "ah" but every time i've heard "ah" it's 3 am
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:54 (nine years ago) link
i don't particularly care about any of these tracks "dragging" though bc i kinda never want them to stop
i dunno i'm probably not hearing it, it's more that it doesn't click so it reminds me of a block i've got with any 'time out' dance album breather
― j., Tuesday, 16 December 2014 18:03 (nine years ago) link
seriously tho this album
"Make No War"
damn
― Tim F, Monday, 22 December 2014 10:02 (nine years ago) link
thanks for the heads up, i'm digging this too - something about the homemade sound is really appealing, you can imagine him in his garage banging these out while taking breaks to make his kids lunch.

"helmut lampshade" is unexpectedly aphex-ian

"Warrior Code" is so fn good
i played my long time gay club dj boyfriend parallel dimensions and he said it's the best thing he's heard in a long time. oh yeah!

so now that this thread's been brought up I should probably get around to asking this - where's the best place to start with this guy?
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Friday, 23 February 2018 04:38 (six years ago) link
depends what kind of music you like
early theo = house music ——> late theo = broken beat
i recommend starting at the beginning and working forward if you like house music, or starting with the new stuff and working backward if you like broken beat music
― the late great, Friday, 23 February 2018 05:29 (six years ago) link
ugly edits is where i started, it's pretty good imo
― flopson, Friday, 23 February 2018 05:31 (six years ago) link
I'm not great with record titles and artist names but the blue/orange record that sounds a bit like Ron Trent, thats my favourite!
This one! Night of the Sagittarius / African Roots
Also this one! That Day / How I Feel
I need to start painting my record sleeves and then order them by feeling, that way they might stop getting lost
― saer, Friday, 23 February 2018 06:59 (six years ago) link
Feel like all of the big three albums (First Floor, Parallel Dimensions, American Intelligence) would be fine starting points, though I listen to the latter two more regularly.
― Tim F, Friday, 23 February 2018 07:03 (six years ago) link
oh yes of course, Reaction to Plastic, I forgot about that one, ,always forget thats a Theo track
― saer, Friday, 23 February 2018 07:18 (six years ago) link
caning the ugly edits tonight

we just had a dance to "get on down"
are these still impossible to get on vinyl? i've only ever had the cd
― i am a horse girl (map), Sunday, 12 April 2020 05:19 (four years ago) link
not impossible i guess if you want to drop $30 and gamble on international shipping right now...
― i am a horse girl (map), Sunday, 12 April 2020 05:21 (four years ago) link
i really love "slick" too. listening to these after a long time because we watched "foxy brown" for the first time tonight (wow!) and the willie hutch soundtrack and all
