Uh, I am NOT into those Mountain of One tracks. Voice= turnoff, in this case

Michael otm re Chelonis. Love, love, love Chelonis.

― matt2, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 02:27 (seventeen years ago) link

ginny's voice was kind of hurting on the original, but i totally love it.

uhhh, but yeah ... i know people really liked 'starlight' but it was sort of lukewarm feeling for me. something about it just wasn't givin'er, musically and vocally i find it kinda just fades into the background.

i think the song that has given me the most disco joy this year is kotey extra band + chaz jankel doing 'sooner or later'. so damn good on the dancefloor. i RUN to the floor. was listening to that and 'give me your love' and 'i love you more' and realized that i'd also like more strings!

also agree about the sexy house vox - "it's you" being one of my fave vocals of all time. chelonis is a good approximation of that style.

I love "Starlight," but the pressing that I have is kind of sub-par. I usually dont have the best ear for that kind of stuff but I always notice it when I put that record on.

Ive been meaning to check out that kotey extra band 12". Thanks for reminding me.

The new Royskopp back to mine thing is stocked with italo and new wave, but also has "Can't Be Serious" on it as sort of the token cosmic/beardo track.

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:20 (seventeen years ago) link

grady that kotey extra band thing is rally good. the chicken lips mixes are REAL dubby, even by their standards.

― haitch, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 05:42 (seventeen years ago) link

'give me your love'

oops i meant 'i want your love'

― jaime, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 07:31 (seventeen years ago) link

huge xpost but:

>Aeo (Pt.1 & 2) - Brian Briggs

YES!!!!

This is the awesomest.

Out Tomorrow:

Rvng of the Nrds Vol 3 - Mock & Toof

I can't get the sample of the first track to work, but the other two sound alright. Not as exciting as the Betty Botox and Flying Squad ones, but the previous Mock and Toof releases have been more playful and campy, and not so much essential transpotter material.

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 16 April 2007 22:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Also!

Map of Africa full length is coming out some time this summer/fall! Very limited LP release on WEWW. I'm told (but can't say for sure) it will be comprised of new tracks and re-working/re-recordings of the singles.

The unofficial Harvey fanclub has had a thread going on it for a while now.

It is in the forthcoming releases at Piccadilly- with audio samples!- where they are calling it "release of decade."

Based on the samples, some tracks sound a lot less sweaty/balls out and have a more druggy/cosmic sound. I got to hear "Here come the heads" in full a few weeks ago but I was pretty drunk.

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 16 April 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

That Kotey Extra Band feat Chaz Jankel.

Love it, love it, love it! i RUN to the floor I wish there was a dancefloor near me to run to.

― Jamie T Smith, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Also loving Allez Allez African Queen, a gorgeous post-punk meets exotica thing, and the Otterman Empire Dharma, which has wild folk/middle eastern violins.

― Jamie T Smith, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

"Digit 2" on that Mock & Toof is some really obvious classic rock song that I can't quite place

― dmr, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

3 be shina williams

― jaime, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't heard it but i believe digit 1 is wire.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i, uh, just realized 'sooner or later' is a moroder track. just as i was thinking "wow people can still WRITE good SONGS!". :\

― jaime, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, this might fall under the "beardo" designation even though it was a semi-hit (IIRC) on Casablanca, but ever since Radio Slave's Eskimo mix reminded me of its existence, Dennis Parker's "Like an Eagle" has been absolutely slaying me.

*edit* ...aaand now I see Lovefingers were on it as of December of last year. Anyway. Still a fucking amazing song.

― Telephone thing, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i think I got it off midnight mike's blog (12am maternal) last year .... which now went to a secret-tracks-only format (no artists or titles)

― dmr, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

"Like an Eagle" was on that james murphy beats in space set from earlier in '06, actually

It's not surprising that there already is a beardo cannon with all the blogs posting such similiar stuff

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 19 April 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

me jumping on the bandwagon = further sign that this shit probably already peaked.

still, as an approach i really like its embrace of diverse genres previously ignored etc... the unifying aesthetic is pretty unique. once this gets calcified into a canon it would take most of the fun out of it i think.

i mean i guess thats already happened but i'm behind enough that it will take that much longer

― deej, Thursday, 19 April 2007 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

if anything i think the movement/trend is just as much a return to dance music/deejay culture's roots, as best I can understand them having been born in 1980.

i understand what you're saying about how its kind of silly/sad that there's a cannon being established. but that's kind of how its always been, hasn’t it? there weren't blogs or pro-tools-fueled edits in the 70's, but in a way, one person sharing a track with others or including it on a mix causing other deejays and music fans to get into it isnt any different from how it all started in the 70's with record pools.

what i think is positive about it all is that a genre in which eclecticism but not just for eclecticism's sake can exist.

yes, we have talked about this before. yes, i read love saves the day and am perhaps not really thinking for myself.

― g®▲Ðұ, Thursday, 19 April 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

'like an eagle' was also on that radio slave mix for eskimo last year.

― haitch, Friday, 20 April 2007 00:38 (seventeen years ago) link

"like an eagle" was recorded in 1979 on casablanca records :-O

one-up'd forever

― deej, Friday, 20 April 2007 00:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Dennis Parker is said to have been an adult film star at the time he released the Jacques Morali produced "Like An Eagle" in 1979.

thats cool, whenever i get to that midpoint of the song where murphy does the transition to 'first time around' i start hearing his bungled transition :-/

― deej, Saturday, 21 April 2007 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

uh poorly written sentence but i think you get my drift

― deej, Saturday, 21 April 2007 01:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Butler's segue from "like and eagle" into "burning love greakdown" is great.

i saw pipec0ck the other day on the littledetroit forums, he was sonning some british kids in a gun control beef, still trollin and makin no sense. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

picked up lindstrom's album "music under pressure" tonight for $5 out of a bargain jazz bin - it's bizarre!! more on it later, but on first listen it sounds like a cross between maurice fulton and prefuse 73!!!

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 04:23 (sixteen years ago) link

what did we decide about "vertical tones + horizontal noise"??

i think it's sorta wack = no reason i can see to swerve from awesome goblin-meets-john-carpenter disco jams into a "dark" version of luke vibert's "kerrier district"

what about white light circus? goat dance? album soon??

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 04:33 (sixteen years ago) link

the goat dance with the black + white sleeve, just called 'goat dance', is ace. white light circus struck me as a bit rote, though.

― haitch, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 05:52 (sixteen years ago) link

rote ... exactly how i feel about "vertical tones ..."

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 06:20 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm beginning to think i have too much chicken lips-related music, and i told the dood at the record store this ...while buying this.

― haitch, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 07:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Anyone heard the Prins Thomas mixcd "Cosmo Galactic Prism" yet?

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Details now pls thx.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I've just seen a mention on the Fact Magazine's site about the promo on Friday...

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link

i really liked the very first vertical tones and horizontal noise and still play both sides, but the rest kind of grate on me.

anyone know anything about hugh herrerra? i'm playing w/ him this weekend.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Google just turns up Fact Magazine and a DJ History forums thread:
http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23850

Sum total of the available information... double CD, on Eskimo, some of the stuff on it: Hawkwind, Joe Meek (as producer or something from I Hear A New World?), Carl Craig (a C2 original or one of his ten million recent remixes?), Recloose's "Cardiology" (no idea if it's the original or Isolee's), and "the infamous donger edit," whatever the hell that is.
