Lenola
Anyone?

people like them. even i say nice things about them somewhere on ilm. listened to the swerving corpse a bunch last year. i wasn't really listening to them in the 90s so much.

Most of the Lenola talk here looks to be at least 13 years old or so. Good to know there's still fans out there. They really hold up!

this is easily one of my top ten or top twenty favorite rock albums of the '90s (non-metal division) and i have never met anyone who liked it as much as me. i've played my crappy CD copy year in and year out since 1991. i'm sure there are people who like it, but i've never heard anyone talk about it in any rave review critical way. maybe there was an issue of Mojo where they gave it its due. i think its a work of art as an album experience.

you need to listen to it loud on a good stereo system though. not on a computer/spotify/etc. the CD will do.the CD sounds fantastic.

Thee Hypnotics are on their reunion tour at the moment actually.
I like the early Lenola singles a lot. Got one of the later albums which is OK but not as into it.

That Hypnotics record is one I’ve never wearied of, and along the same lines, Gallon Drunk. Loud rock with Elmer Bernstein/Mingus horn charts pushing it over the top is the best sound. The Saints’ Eternally Yours, too.

the casket girls and their debut in particular have rarely been mentioned here

I really liked the Kentucky-based band Sleeper Agent (their first album in particular), but looks like they’ve only been mentioned once in here, in passing.
revisiting this, and daaaamn... still slaps
this band was like anthemic mall-emo Royal Trux, or something. I know there are ILM posters who would dig this sh1t... check out their first album, Celebrasion, in particular. every song (except maybe track 9) is awesome. "Proper Taste" was my JAM!!

"Far and Wide" is like... whaaat... best closing track ever

I think fgti and myself are the only Tierra Whack obsessives here

Some fey UK indie combo from 30+ years ago, in all probability. LOL. Though that's such a low-degree-of-difficulty move that I'll stop myself there.

This album is really very great. I don't care how Belle & Sebastian-y they are or the fact that they shamelessly have the same name as the 60s band.
There are tracks in this link and this is also the only profile of them I've found, and it's their only LP (from 2005):

all of my attempts to promote the somewhat popular (104k plays/month on spotify) australian melodic prog band caligula's horse has been a total failure, possibly because they are an australian melodic prog band

Probably lots I could name. Chastity Belt comes to mind.

A search for "Trouble Funk" turns up only one thread, from 2004 and briefly revived in 2012. Was listening to Saturday Night Live From Washington DC earlier; it's killer. Two side-long jams.

Is there any kind of Go-go thread?
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 19:16 (three years ago) link
would love a trouble funk topic, or at least a potpourri go-go one.

I love Telepath more than life itself, at least through late 2015. I'm of the [evidently popular] opinion that the quality of his work dropped off somewhat when he went sample-free. I've actually thought about starting a chronological track-by-track thread for Telepath/Virtual Dream Plaza if there were enough interest...
― J. Sam, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
if human beings could live to be 200 I'd probably get into Telepath's stuff

Am I dreaming or isn’t there a massive dc go-go thread that was started by curmudgeon a long time ago?
― brimstead, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
xp lol yeah I feel like fully appreciating Telepath/slushwave in general requires a deliberate slowdown of one's biological rhythms

maybe My Morning Jacket? those first 3-4 records were some of my favorites of the early oughts and I think they hold up really well.probably responsible for a lot of crap imitations in the intervening years though
