reviving this thread because i'm more interested in them now than i ever have been.

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!

woah, thanks for the tip about the comp, it sounds like a must-hear. the eskimo thing seems strange, but maybe they are on to better things...

tricky (disco stu), Monday, 17 October 2005 23:20 (eighteen years ago) link

have you heard the moxie releases? there are some nice edits on those, particularly the talking heads one which is now impossible to find.

tricky (disco stu), Monday, 17 October 2005 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost - sweet, i've got the talking heads one...

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?

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Which talking heads tune did he edit?

jeffery (jeffery), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:13 (eighteen years ago) link

'once in a lifetime', but it was carl craig...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:14 (eighteen years ago) link

That sounds drool-worthy.

jeffery (jeffery), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone found a tracklisting for the August 27th Shibuya FM show? I'm particularly interested in identifying the track right around the 40 minute mark.

jeffery (jeffery), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:26 (eighteen years ago) link

can the person with the torrent YSI the compilation being shared? Major Swellings on YSI?

biz, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Further blowing me away is the PT remix of Mental Overdrive's "Diskodans" on Smalltown Supersound (which needs to be released on vinyl right now, god damn it)

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

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah ronan, i've seen it listed recently but i can't find a single shop or distributor stateside who carries it. it's mindblowing!

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

it's weird, I found it in a crappy Tower Records over here, half buried.

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 17:43 (eighteen years ago) link

damn! total jealousy.

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

The album is easy-listening pants, I'm afraid to report. Don't know what they were thinking.

JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Albums = home listening

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

i love it love it love it!

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 19:59 (eighteen years ago) link

But so the album is shelved for now because Eskimo pulled out? Is that what I'm reading?

matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 17:16 (eighteen years ago) link

no, they pulled on their distributor. not sure if it was the *only* distributor (for the US i mean), but i'm sure it'll mean the album will be more expensive once it comes out...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Painted Nails are the new Lindstrøm! Hopefully they stick to singles, for now.

JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks heywood. I need to educate myself.

matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Tricky! I'm still rocking that Pretty Vacant mix, it's awesome.

heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 18:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Are those all from that Low Rider website? You should just grab all the sets, they've got some great ones by DJ Harvey and Lindstrom too.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 03:34 (eighteen years ago) link

yep. i'm getting the david mancuso ones now.

also, y'all should know someone posted the E2-E4 remix in the most recent YSI thread...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 06:30 (eighteen years ago) link

heywood jablomi , those sets from Module in Tokyo are from 2004 not 2005. I was like whoa, how did i miss that?

Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:04 (eighteen years ago) link

no shit? seems like they just popped up on the lowrider site...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:55 (eighteen years ago) link

ay Job! can you YSI some Painted Nails? i'm curious...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Sunday, 30 October 2005 20:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got it on vinyl, that's way too much trouble, sorry!

JoB (JoB), Sunday, 30 October 2005 21:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Except for the "Sweet Cow" mix, this stuff has sort of passed me by. Would anyone care to do a primer? Or maybe heywood can keep back something at Am03b4 for me...

F.R.I.E.N.D. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 30 October 2005 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm liking the full-length so far, tho yes, it is kind of easy on the ears. Not in the bad way though, especially good if you happen to like European movie soundtracks from the 70s.

Dominique (dleone), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:12 (eighteen years ago) link

(also reminds me of Air)

Dominique (dleone), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

im sold!

unconscious, honey (FE7), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Painted Nails are brilliant.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:37 (eighteen years ago) link

okay okay, i'm gonna do my OWN research on Painted Nails, no thanks to you. :P

adam - come hit me up at amoeba...i can hook you up.
we've got three of the Feedelity 12s ('further into the future', 'i feel space' and 'there's a drink in my bedroom', the prima norsk compilation on CD, an assortment of remixes, and the major swellings CD. we'll have the first Eskimo single by wednesday/thursday. album comes out next month followed in January by a Lindstrom solo full-length on the Japanese label Outergaze.

hit me up wednesday nite/thursday during the day. ask for "mike bee" (my alter-ego)

heywood jablomi (heywood), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:44 (eighteen years ago) link

otherwise, peep the intro paragraph to this thread, lots of goodies in there...

heywood jablomi (heywood), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:49 (eighteen years ago) link

major swellings is pretty hot, except for the "italo" parts.

vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 00:22 (eighteen years ago) link

painted nails is jon dacey(aka Dubious)and his wife. the single is rad and his other solo singles are awesome too. check www.prizerecords.com

non, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 00:30 (eighteen years ago) link

i checked out the painted nails 12" the other day ("silk cherries") and it didn't do much for me, unfortunately. i'll try and give it a second listen (it was in a shop)...

but i have a question for you folks...

say a friend was going to ask Mr. Lindstrom to do cover a song for an upcoming volume of a covers compilation series. what would you like to hear in a Lindstrom/Prins Thomas stylee?

heywood jablomi (heywood), Thursday, 3 November 2005 01:18 (eighteen years ago) link

can't see what all the fuss is about.
they've done a few remixes, their self titled is fairly bland.
i love space is nice but hardly special.
haven't heard the new album yet, keen to be proven otherwise.

Idle Idle (idleidleidle), Thursday, 3 November 2005 05:36 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...
so the album is out this week, imports are just hitting stateside shops, so if you still haven't heard it, snap it up! also out this week are the feedelity #0 & #1 repressings, which are killer.

plus, there's both live set and dj set mp3's from a recent album release party in the UK: http://www.ourdisco.com/music/?id=163

heywood jablomi (heywood), Saturday, 26 November 2005 09:50 (eighteen years ago) link

On first listen I really like the album on eskimo! More than I expected to! It's so layered and swirly and beautiful and maximalist, i think I'll end up permanently associating it with the second Isolee album - which, incidentally, it is no more downtempo than. From the talk on this thread I was half expecting trip hop or something.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 26 November 2005 12:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Love the new album on Eskimo! "Turkish Delight" is bee-hyoooo-tiful!

Patrick South (Patrick South), Saturday, 3 December 2005 18:42 (eighteen years ago) link

i was just sent a white label copy of the forthcoming double-pack 12" on the Japanese Outergaze label, "...another side of Lindstrom", and it seems to be a mashing up of his two styles: it's spacey disco, but with the more muso elements you might find in his Slowsupreme work. i've only given it half a listen so i don't really have an opinion about it yet. will be checking it out today.

also got cd from feedelity featuring a new Lindstrom single whose name escapes me ("another station" maybe? i don't have it in front of me). it's also got a todd terje remix. not bad on first listen, i think i might like the terje remix better.

heywood jablomi (heywood), Saturday, 3 December 2005 21:23 (eighteen years ago) link

first track on the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas record (Forelopig bit? can't remember the exact name) is like prog-disco, and I think is total greatness. is that what you're talking about when you say "muso", because if so, I need to seek out more.

Dominique (dleone), Saturday, 3 December 2005 23:18 (eighteen years ago) link

naw, that's not what i'm talking about when i say 'muso'. i mean more musicianship. in a negative way you could call it 'noodly'.

heywood jablomi (heywood), Sunday, 4 December 2005 05:27 (eighteen years ago) link

bliss

cutty (mcutt), Friday, 9 December 2005 03:34 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...
I agree with cutty. I was unimpressed upon first listen (wanting more "I Feel Space" and "there's a drink in my bedroom and i need a hot lady" I suppose. But something is hitting me just right today. Completely blissfull and smooth while remaining percussive enough to be interesting. Space disco for sure.

matt2 (matt2), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I love this album, one of mt favorites of the year.

Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 5 January 2006 19:28 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, once i adjusted to this being different from the singles i grew to really love it.
