who is going to rx gallery on the 9th?

― gaseous (gaseous), Monday, 5 February 2007 06:44 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't have any disco friends in sf

― gaseous (gaseous), Monday, 5 February 2007 06:45 (seventeen years ago) link

rx gallery? you mean mezzanine?

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 5 February 2007 06:47 (seventeen years ago) link

YES! that's why i got confused when i went to their site

― gaseous (gaseous), Monday, 5 February 2007 06:59 (seventeen years ago) link

what is that Phantom Slasher record? something idjut related? i saw it in the store but it was like 20$ for a cd so i passed. is it just a mix?

i won't be going to carl craig. mom's is in town.

the following night at RX is actually (supposed) to be a disco night, but when i went, it was mostly house

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 5 February 2007 07:11 (seventeen years ago) link

phantom slasher is disco reedits by the idjut boys. not a mix. the tracks are pretty heavily reworked. heavier than re-edits actually - they've added lots of instrumentation. like on the chilly track they add guitar solos, huge 808 bass explosions, extra 4/4 drums and so on.

Also, Whatever We Want's website has updated, but still has no info beyond "Prerelease Spring 2007."

that site's metadata tells us more than what it actually displays.. i hate those sort of deliberately obtuse sites:

meta name="description" content="Whatever we want records, an independent, brooklyn based label for forward thinking artists pushing their craft. vinyl record releases include map of africa, bobbie marie, godsy, quiet village project,otterman empire. future releases by the naturals, and the venice arkestra. Info at whateverwewantrecords dot com"

jaxon, let's do something together. i think we're on the same page. if you're bored tonight ... there's this:

anyone have that new elaste comp on compost?

i just grabbed it. i like it, but don't LOVE it. they play some of the songs at their original speed and it sounds wicked weird. especially that Logic System track. i think there's talk upthread about that song not sounding right at 45.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 8 February 2007 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

it's weird since the comp is called "slow motion disco" and then there's these few tracks which are not slowed down like they would have been in the clubs the comp is supposedly a tribute to! i guess the elaste 12" with clash is 45 so it can be pitched down to "optimum" tempo.

the vocals on some of these tracks are... yikes...

― gaseous (gaseous), Thursday, 8 February 2007 07:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Surprised the Elaste comp didn't have "Can't Be Serious" on it, or "Time Actor."

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 8 February 2007 07:26 (seventeen years ago) link

there's a 'version' of Time Actor on the bside of that Richard Wahnfried album that has Arthur Brown (i think) singing instead of just talking. i almost think it's better.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 8 February 2007 07:39 (seventeen years ago) link

one month passes...

dudes ...

i hate to say it, but this track is much better than i expected. in fact, i really dig it.

Junior Boys - "FM (Ten Snake)"

― Cameron Octigan, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Haven't heard it, but why'd you expect not to like it? The JBs side or the Ten Snake side? I'm supposing it's the Ten Snake, but I loved "Around the House." Not you?

― matt2, Thursday, 8 March 2007 03:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan Selzer, have you heard this: http://www.discogs.com/release/925638

Pretty funny/bizarre/goofy collection of covers in old school, late 70s/early 80s DIY synth style, though the 2nd track on side b could actually work in a beardo set, I think

― Dominique, Thursday, 15 March 2007 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

nope. Wonder if Woebot has.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 15 March 2007 20:13 (seventeen years ago) link

dominique, that description, sounds like the Baby Buddha record i just found. minimal synth covers of old country songs http://www.discogs.com/release/289791

― jaxon, Thursday, 15 March 2007 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Baby Buddha is David Microwave, the main man behond Los Microwaves, highly recommendable fun LA synth-punk pop type stuff from the early 80s.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 15 March 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

the dottores kranky disco band mentioned above was put together by mooner from munich (he recently compiled that 'elaste' cosmic comp on compost).

though the 2nd track on side b could actually work in a beardo set

ha ha! i did that.

― stirmonster, Thursday, 15 March 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

hey cool!

― Dominique, Thursday, 15 March 2007 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

ps - they got it wrong on discogs. the crass track is actually "walls (fun in the oven)"

― stirmonster, Thursday, 15 March 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

"we don't care" = ?
"lasagne for 10" = chilly "for your love"
"size doesn't matter" = tina turner "whole lotta love"
"eat the jeans" = earons (which track?)
"staying noid" = richard ace "staying alive"
"backwards is the best way forward" = gloria gaynor "if you want it"
"satchel on my doorstep" - roxy music "the main thing"
"your wistful sigh" = bootsy (but which track?)
"love ranger" = george duke (which track?)
"mike's tears" = ?

the first track sounds like an original production, the last one more like a reedit?

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 15 March 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i was wondering what on earth that record was when they were playing it at the local record shoppe.

― haitch, Thursday, 15 March 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

(re the dottores kranky disco band thing)

― haitch, Thursday, 15 March 2007 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

a year or two late, but what did we all think of chicken lips' "making faces"? i can't find the thread that jaxon (???) started, but i finally got it and i'm not sure what to think. already wishing i'd bought the japanese version with the dancey dubs on the end ...

i'm not sure where it falls on the spectrum from chromeo (wack) -----> scissor sisters (hott)

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 06:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i honestly never fell in love with it. it had a nice idea (sorta soft rock disco) but couldn't pull it off with great songs. Peter Brown is a great example of this working.

the other night a local SF group opened for Fujiya & Miyagi called Sugar & Gold (http://www.myspace.com/sugarandgold). wasn't too stoked on them. definitely pulling the soft rock disco (sounded like Player) but a bit too soft and a bit too gay (there was a dude dancing on stage the whole night with a Kermit the Frog mask on and barely any clothes. really ruined the show). kinda reminded me of Scissor Sisters

― jaxon, Sunday, 18 March 2007 06:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i thought 3 or 4 of the songs were pretty decent

ALAN PARSONS PROJECT: S/D (beardo edition)

should i just grab the best-of? it seems like only the instrumental tracks really match the vibe.

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

is the end of that track clipped for anyone else?

― artdamages, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

http://www.discogs.com/release/209358

this is very cool. haven't listened to it for a while. i think i'd agree w/you re: vocals.

― artdamages, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

ah fuckin discogs. i forgot. http://rebelsofmars.blogs.com/rebels_of_mars/images/alan_parsons_i_robot_cover_art_1.jpg

― artdamages, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

the cover is fantastic.

― artdamages, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

this one seems like all you'll ever need

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

compare with this cover art

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

how dare you

Equip - XXXO
http://www.discogs.com/release/861406

This track is pure orgasmic one of the finest tracks i have ever listened to in my life. A true lost classic - a spacey electro track from the 1980s that was just released on 12" vinyl in December 2006

produced by DJ Greg Wilson

massive pulsating synths !, drum machines, futuristic spacey-electro music that grooves and flows

This blog has a link to a download: JUST DO IT NOW !

see reference to:
Equip- XXXO (Manchester England 1983)

― djmartian, Sunday, 18 March 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Greg played that for me and my then co-alldisco djs in his hotel room when he came to ny last year. Awesome.

― dan selzer, Sunday, 18 March 2007 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

new Kathy Diamond record (produced by Maurice Fulton) seems tailor made for this thread

― Dominique, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i bought that Equip record at Halcyon right around christmas-- been blowing me away ever since. it's a fantastic track to use to bring out more house and techno, coming from disco...

― the table is the table, Saturday, 24 March 2007 00:49 (seventeen years ago) link

great recommendation, dom. lovin' it

― The Macallan 18 Year, Saturday, 24 March 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

agh so mad i missed that sakamoto/wilson thing

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link

look on noise board

― dmr, Saturday, 24 March 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

what's the story w/maurice fulton's myspace? it has this as it's tagline: "U Have Tigersushi, You Will NOT Be Added"

― jaxon, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

former label beef i assume

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

wasn't there a mu track that ripped into tigersushi?

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

longstanding record label beef

see Mu's "Tigerbastard" etc.

there's a thread where people talk about it, I'll try to find it
