Man this is a great album. I know I've been saying it since the beginning of the thread, but I still think it is.

when is she gonna do a proper European tour?!
― baaderonixx, Monday, 22 June 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
Looks pretty, but I think it lacks the cool visual ideas and hints of a larger backstory that made the previous two videos so good. The masks and costumes still tie it thematically to them, though.
I haven't yet seen Fever Ray live (can't wait until next month when both FR and Grace Jones are gonna play at a local festival), but from what I've heard those lamps also appear in their live show.

Dunno about an European tour, but she's been gigging actively, hasn't she? Her show in Helsinki next month is already the second one here since the album came out. Though of course the distance probably makes it easier to have gigs here.

I don't know who's Rex the Dog, but to me that remix doesn't sound very good. He's basically just sped up the tune and added some extra drums and irritating electro whines there. It takes away a lot the mystique of the original but doesn't add anything particularly interesting or original to it.
― Tuomas, Monday, 22 June 2009 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Generally I'm all for dance remixes, but somehow I feel Fever Ray's tunes don't bend into dance tracks that easily. Especially if they're done in that irritating indie electro style.
― Tuomas, Monday, 22 June 2009 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I generally like irritating electro indie remixes, but I like these original tracks too much to want to hear them remixed. (Unless the remix would be excellent and completely different from and only use a tiny part of the original)

I don't know who's Rex the Dog
WHO IS REX THE DOG? (ideas, NOW)
― cutty, Monday, 22 June 2009 20:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Hmm, according to Discogs Rex the Dog is the same dude who did that "Son of a Gun" tune back in the mid-90s. That was a nice tune, but this one isn't.
― Tuomas, Monday, 22 June 2009 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
A less obviously disco beat and I would be all over this like gangbusters.

it means you posted in that thread you fake tuomas

You seriously expect me to remember every thread I posted to five years ago?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 12:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I didn't know who Rex the Dog was in 2004 either. Looking at that thread, I just made a couple of general comments about the anonymity of techno producers. If you can actually remember all the names of all the artists mentioned in all the threads you've ever posted to, good for you.

Well that's what he did.

Okay, post them here.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link
usually i won't pop in a thread about an artist i don't know, or won't remember, or won't bother to actually seek out to hear what they sounds like, just to make banal comments and bring it up again five years later
― cutty, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Why can't I be serious? Call me an idealist, but sometimes I miss the days when electronic music had nothing to do with the rockist star cult, when all (well, almost all) that mattered was the music. I still don't know what most of my favourite artists look like. Or who they really are, for that matter.

I merely mentioned that I don't know who Rex the Dog is (which was true), but you had to bring up some 5-year old thread just to make a pointless snark at me.

i was merely pointing you to a thread of other people wondering WHO IS REX THE DOG?
― cutty, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 14:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Hmm, maybe you only linked because I mentioned Rex the Dog, and not to remind me of some posts I made ib 2004. If that's true, sorry about the above.

I think it's a woodprint.
