Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

clickgroove.com also has a chunk of the feedelity catalog (320K MP3).

yknow, my experience of lindstrom & prins thomas has had pretty much the opposite trajectory to biz's. fell head over heels to "i feel space" on first listen, got their lp, dug out old radiophonic workshop comp, put on lava lamp and space goggles. came over all warm as the cosmic vibes reach my very core. before i know what's hit me, the warmth has DRAINED as i realise that OH SHIT IT'S NOT 1974, IT'S THE LATE NINETIES AND I'M BACK IN LOVE WITH BLUE STATES AND K&D AND FILA FUCKING BRAZILIA.

the album gets an occasional listen, and the juan atkins remix sure is pretty. the goggles are now buried in a landfill site somewhere in south manchester.

My money on them being the next group to get the "oh my god it's the future" hype - although they need to do a few more tracks first.

thanks.

that's funny i was totally going to post the same thing today - i had a similar epiphany yesterday while i was listening to an akwaaba album in my car. i think fila brazillia is a closer match than k&d or blue states. but there really wasn't anything wrong with fila brazillia for the first few albums, was there? it wasn't until they really started to stray into aimless jazz and folk-rock that it got tiring, right? as long as they stuck w/ the 4/4 i could (and still can) really get into FB ... so i'm hoping lindstrom reasserts the danciness, soon. maybe on an upcoming solo album?

or maybe i need to shell out for the major swellings album ...

a nice torrent has popped up on oink that's a collection of their remixes (some lindstrom solo) and it's freaking fantastic, for the most part. it's got the forthcoming Tosca remix on it as well as a Lindstrom remix of Fuzz Against Junk's "Country Clonk", a record that came out on Bearfunk last year. the comp is worth downloading for this track alone. fucking sublime.

been corresponding with Mr Lindstrom lately and he says that Feedelity #0 and #1 are getting repressed in the near future, so watch for them. also the E2-E4 thing is on an italian label whose name escapes me and it due out in a couple months or so. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.

strangely, the distributor which had originally solicited for the L&PT full-length called today to say that Eskimo had pulled out of the deal and they won't be carrying it now. anyone know what's up with that?

i just spend the last three days trawling online record shops for rarities and have pretty much come up empty. i need suggestions!

oh, another thing i forgot.
did some extensive google sleuthing and noticed there's a couple Japanese-only tings from our boys.
two of them are on Outergaze records, one of which - Lindstrom's "Violent Group" - just came out in the western world this week. He's also apparently got a full-length called "Another Side Of", which the single is taken from. plus there's a remix of Port of Notes on the Crue-L label which i think juno is carrying. but that's way too expensive for little stateside me.

caning the country clonk remix at the moment. how did i miss this?

This is on vinyl! I have it! There's a good electroey remix on it too.
