Electrelane - Axes

I like that song

all four of their albums were spectacular in my opinion

^ they rule

I should listen to the first album again. I'd been put off of it by a middling review (probably from AMG), but recently hearing a few isolated tracks from it has been ear-opening.

This album was always a hit whenever I played it in the bar I worked.

unfortunately it's the only one of theirs i own, and one of the records is warped. if i get drunk enough i can convince myself it's mildly psychedelic, but in a normal state it's nauseating to listen to.

lol

hard to believe they were so ignored, it makes me suspicious of the whole narrative of the 2000-2009 era

I put The Valleys and To the East (other albums) on sooooo many mixes. I don't know why they weren't as big/bigger than Stereolab.

*bowing*

Was hoping this revive was about a reunion, I think I had a dream about that years ago.

You mean in 2011-2012?

But gods I wish they'd get back together too, I missed all my chances to see them live.

Good band

I saw them early on, about 2001, but I'd love to have seen them again later - the first album isn't bad but it's my least favourite (which is unusual for me, I'm usually the early-stuff-is-better guy)

Axes is my favourite of theirs because it's so, like, audacious in its structure

The series of instrumentals into the Cohen cover is one of my favourite sequences on a rock album

So in between "Bells" and "The Partisan"?

Serious question: is the album title supposed to be the plural for axis or ax?

Ya. I guess it's a lot of instrumentals! I love this approach. I think the title means both

'business or otherwise' is one of the genuinely most out-there compositions by a uk rock band in living memory
