Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Sunday, 20 February 2011 03:10 (thirteen years ago) link

went a bit overboard there for a while!

Makes sense to go overboard with Bardo, hah. You got me beat, too: I only have 19 Bardo-related things on my shelf.

There's no Cypher Documents either, and that's straight up real Bardo. :(

voting Lapsed and only own four albums, all from the mid 90's. need to listen to the new one.

These guys should win an Album of the Year Grammy.

I voted for the wrong one. :(

Of course they're all great, but a curveball vote for me this poll - 'Ticket Crystals'

BlackIronPrison, Sunday, 20 February 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link

Wtf is up w people in this thread? New one is great. Fantastic, even. Making me regret once again not voting in the past end-of-year poll.

sonderangerbot, Monday, 21 February 2011 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link

4 votes for the new one is kind of a shocker! who else voted for it???

if music be the fuiud of love then piss off (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 23:48 (thirteen years ago) link

i did. i don't know their catalogue real well—a couple-few of the late-90s ones that i heard then (ok) or revisited in recent years (to better effect), recent ones like 'peri' that i enjoyed a lot, and the new one. they've always struck me as pretty awesome when they're awesome and not-quite-heavy-or-messed-up-enough when not, a little inconsistent at what i was getting from them, but lately they've been more satisfying to me and the new one seemed to really hit a zone even on the kinds of songs i would have been impatient with in the past.

i think it's partly a drums and bass thing—have they sorted out their rhythm section a little better now?

j., Wednesday, 23 February 2011 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link

sounds like i rly need to hear the new one!

Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Wednesday, 23 February 2011 03:24 (thirteen years ago) link

God, I hope not.

P4k gave it a 6.5, which really got on my nerves...I dunno enough about them either but I think you're right j, the new one hits a sweet spot and stays there...

that show is so goddamn early i'm gonna miss mtns & pond because of work. love metal mountains; one of my fave bands at the moment.

one dis leads to another (ian), Thursday, 2 June 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link

I guess you're also gonna miss Guided By Voices, White Fence, Thee Oh Sees, Eleanor Friedberger and Spectre Folk who are all playing different shows that night.

Busy weekend.

i would rather see bardo pond than all those, although god bless robert pollard

I would've voted Ticket Crystals, but I'm hardly a completist.

Man, Ticket Crystals sounding so good this morning. "destroying Angel" is my favorite Bardo Pond song right now. Isobel's voice reminds me of a (relatively) more tuneful Toody Cole, and when the flute comes in and you think it's just another vocal track at first, it's seriously a Fripp-guitar-solo-on-"Hammond Song" kinda moment

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 12:08 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah imo Ticket Crystals is the start of a major upswing for the Bardos

Drugs A. Money, Sunday, 21 April 2013 14:19 (eleven years ago) link

damn, that was a hell of a thing. and yeah, "molten" is the word, at least in the second half. can't touch the liquid precision and dialed-in emotional intensity of the original, but provides a spectacular platform for bp's sense-dulled flame & glide.

"the creator has a master plan" is proceeding v nicely, too. shades of spacemen 3's take on "transparent radiation". these are no shit two of my very favorite songs in all the world, and i can't imagine them channeled through a finer medium.

Playing their side from Harmony of the Spheres in anticipation. I think I like them them most when they extend further.

that harmony of the spheres box is so great though. haven't played it in ages. wanna rectify, but it's 3,000 miles away :(

Scaruffi:

Bardo Pond (2010) is a good display of both what they do best (the avalanche-like 13-minute The Stars Behind) and not so well (the self-indulgent 21-minute Undone).

been really into the s/t 2010 album (fucking amazing!) and revisiting their early stuff lately, such a great great band.

A track that I just realize I loved is "Chance" on Peace on Venus, such a great balance of crushing noise and pretty, floating flute melodies.

Volume 9 out! I was a little bit worried having not heard new material in a long time (though this is stuff recorded from 2000).

Anyway, it's on the sedate side, but "War is Over, Part 2" is really something.
