theo parrish commented on ronan's post tho which is pretty wild

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

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

― brimstead, Sunday, 12 April 2020 04:43 (four years ago) link

― i am a horse girl (map), Sunday, 12 April 2020 05:16 (four years ago) link
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
― i am a horse girl (map), Sunday, 12 April 2020 05:28 (four years ago) link

omfg the title track
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 3 October 2020 02:25 (three years ago) link
incredible album
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Saturday, 3 October 2020 22:18 (three years ago) link
it's more raw than the last one but spins so much out of it incl. a lot of joy.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Saturday, 3 October 2020 22:21 (three years ago) link
the sound is more raw but i mean the keyboarding is next-level jazz playing and the palette within the rawness bursts open into this surprising and colorful landscape.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Saturday, 3 October 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
it's also very sick as far as being a rhythmic / dance record and i would like to hear it on a "system" very much.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Saturday, 3 October 2020 22:34 (three years ago) link
HennyWeed BuckDance is a right tune!

Great stuff. “Knew Better Do Better” and “Angry Purple Birds” are highlights for me.
― Regard the timeless piano balladeeress! (breastcrawl), Sunday, 4 October 2020 00:17 (three years ago) link
"angry purple birds" is great, i love when it gets to the piano at the end, reminds me of "parallel dimensions" in a way
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Sunday, 4 October 2020 01:06 (three years ago) link
this album is amazing, so warm and intricate. the vinyl is way way cheaper thru sound signature direct than anywhere else i've seen
― adam, Tuesday, 6 October 2020 14:56 (three years ago) link
yeah! ss web store is great and really well-designed.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Tuesday, 6 October 2020 18:06 (three years ago) link
for all the love you give sacrificially, this is for you
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Tuesday, 13 October 2020 14:43 (three years ago) link
^^^^
― Tim F, Tuesday, 13 October 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link
Also “Knew Better Do Better” is just wiled.
i love how knotty and jazzy this record is, especially when i think about it in comparison with the amazing use of space on american intelligence, which i also love
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 October 2020 15:25 (three years ago) link
also "this is for you" just sends me straight up to heaven
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 October 2020 15:26 (three years ago) link
Top album of the year right here. He doesn’t sound like anyone else.
Any idea why Kung Fu Shoes is not on spotify?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 22 October 2020 15:36 (three years ago) link
spacing on which song atm but i love how one of the records starts off sounding like off the cuff improvised noodling that slowly coheres into something really elaborate and purposeful, it's like watching a creation evolve from a sketch to a song in real time
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:12 (three years ago) link
^^
very nicely put, d-40
― calzino, Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
the sound of this album is low-key incredible, the keys are pillow-soft, the drum machines have such a nice crunch. everything's up-front but and kind of raw but there are layers and blending and full spectrum / space. idk but it sounds like tape was involved? also idk but there's probably sampler-playing to get the subtle phasing effects that show up now and then? pretty sure this is my #2 album of the year after beatrice dillon.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 23 October 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link
this is becoming one of my favorite albums of the year, it’s so invigorating
― Welcome to Nonrock (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 October 2020 17:25 (three years ago) link
Moka, that track is a vinyl-only exclusive.
This record rules.

that's a nice review.
"this is for you" is so, so good.

i know there's a whole other thread for these kinds of songs but Angry Purple Birds reminds me a bit of the Earthbound soundtrack
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Monday, 8 February 2021 05:37 (three years ago) link
thought for sure this revive would be about the absolutely massive new 3 chairs release : Parrish, moodyman, and marcellus Pittman laying down endless loose and hypnotic grooves
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Monday, 8 February 2021 06:59 (three years ago) link
new? do you mean the digital file comp?
