Lindstrom: Where You Go I Go Too

so glad he is putting this pernicious rumour to rest.

lol is the lol

where you lol i lol too

i can't find a torrent of this, got the promo/EP thing tho

Oh God, halfway through the title track, this is immense. Could this be (contemporary) disco's tubular bells?

p.s. e2-24 (While I feel the comparison is too easy, I do really think that Lindstrom is, and doing a great job, of balling up these grand epic pieces, like tubular bells, e2-e4, and perhaps even some works by Steve Reich, Philip Glass etc. and making something that would fit in well in the 70's but with a present day feel. Thus I mention it).

Actually, no, this doesn't feel very contemporary at all, come to think about it.

ok i like this too but lets chill a bit here

Is this thread still going? Liking this album is so June 2008.

j/k, linds.

where you challop i challop too

i aint got nothing to add except words fail the beauty of this *_*

right now i'm listening to bucketheads while reading the thread for the new lindstrom joint @_______________~

i was zoning out to this on the train and missed my stop today. F U lindstrom!

londoners: apparently he's doing an in-store gig at rough trade east on the 19th august

Excellent!

Is this actually out? I never know these days

+ at rough trade he's doing the whole album! it's going to be so rad

i think standing around in a crowd at rough trade watching him play this album might actually ruin it, it seems like the total antithesis of what it does so well

OTM

I am going to sit by the beach in Portugal next week and drink very cold beer and listen to this in its entirety as the sun goes down.

I am going to ride a train to Kerala in 2 weeks and listen to this in its entirety

I am going to complete a full orbit of the earth and listen to this album in its entirety 300 times as my spacecraft traces the line of sun's rays creeping across the earth's surface.

we all fell space since the loft era and the paradise garage. I fell
space and universe every time music gets kosmic and synthetic and
shouts body and soul. Then from New york to chicago, over Detroit with gary numan's cars, italian and electronic european cerrone and
moroder things ... All the sounds are compressing and invite us to
gather, wherever we come from; that is all about with scando-med music. Travel all over the Whord by the extremities. North and south,
black and white, find out what common is between krautrock and disco
or the possible alliance of rythm. That music is utopic like the hippies were at least.Dreamy and psychedelic, background the Sun of the baléares and the everlasting scandinavian summer !

HIs trousers in the new Plan B. They're very, um... tight.

major swellings?

this sorta thing isn't usually my bag at all, but i've been playing the living fuck outta the promo i got. WOW, seriously - amazing "house." is it house? i'm totally outta my depth on the various modern dance/electronica genres and junk.

Totally not what I was expecting him to sound like. Kind of noodley and krautrock where I was expecting it to go boom-tish boom-tish.

Now that's the way to get me to pay attention to dance music. Have them dress like shaggy dronerock boys and reference Cluster albums. I may have to get this.

(And not just because of the trousers so tight I can see which way he's packing.)

i really don't like any of his other music, and after reading some of this thread i almost wonder if he meant to do what he did with this album - or if he was totally trying to do something else and failed miserably. either way, i'm loving it.

Surreptitiously addictive, and hence possibly my most played track of the past few weeks. Hoping to enjoy it on a whole new level once it's out on CD.

haha the last few comments make me think this is going to be the big 'crossover dance' album of the year, despite not being particularly dance-able

Out tomorrow!

*buzz*

I am going to complete a full orbit of the earth and listen to this album in its entirety 300 times as my spacecraft traces the line of sun's rays creeping across the earth's surface.

-- Tim F

actually low-earth orbit only takes 90 minutes

yeah but hes going the speed of the sun's rays

then that would be 24 listens, not 300

i'm trolling tim's kinematics because trolling the "circa 2003 outkast thread" response to this album is unworthy of trolling

Vahid you're assuming that my spacecraft obeys the normal laws of physics. Clearly Where You Go I Go Too has suspended these.

trolling the "circa 2003 outkast thread" response to this album is unworthy of trolling

Reading the recent contributions to this thread, I kinda sympathise with rap fans who loved SB/TLB but felt their buzz being harshed by neophytes.

"I have never heard this kinda funky funky groove thing before but it makes my body want to do something!"

im sort of more annoyed by the implication that lindstrom probably didnt know what he was doing

"god no way this established and well-known producer and dj has listened to enough records or knows enough about music production to make a disc that references krautrock and ambient music"

I really like this album but it's not like it's actually that far from what he's done before, or from what other producers in the scene are doing. Really this is about producers egging eachother on, I reckon - the first and the third tracks here feel like ripostes to Prins Thomas and Mungolian Jetset (esp. the Prins Thomas remix of Hatchback's "White Diamond").

this happens to a couple dahnce albums every year though!

xxp wrt ilxor crossover

Yeah true, but usually it's more like "I don't know much about the dance scene that this is from but I really like its uptempo pop toons", which is always a less annoying (because humbly oblivious) tack to take than "isn't it great how this producer has inadvertantly made music that stands next to the greats of 70s krautrock and ambient music" etc.

The first is distortive and reductionist, but the second is both those things and kinda condescending as well.

As odd as the critical uptake w/r/t The Field was, no-one (as far as I know) was trying to connect it to some entirely non-dance-music lineage in some kind of redemptive move.

yes i agree tim--honestly this is only a few steps beyond something like 'nummer fire en' or 'turkish delight'

thats an agreement w. ur xpost. tho i also agree with your second post.

those might be more self-consciously 'disco' though

"those might be more self-consciously 'disco' though"

Wait do you mean the earlier L/PT tracks or prior crossover albums?

haha the earlier tracks--turkish delight in particular

what about mighty girl, it's a freakin can cover!!!

s1ocki, what is the can track it rips?

Download version of the album includes a bonus track, Grand Ideas (John Agebjorn remix)

It's a straight (great) cover. Can's version is only available on their Peel Session, as far as I know.
