Lindstrom: Where You Go I Go Too

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 !

Looking forward to this but yeah, august is too late! Let's hope for an imminent leak ;-) (I'll buy it whenever it comes out). I assume you've got a promo copy, beta? Or are you sharing your SXSW impression of the album?

i do have a promo copy, with our man smiling wide on the cover. i recall nothing about any night of SXSW.

sorry, i'm going to have be anal and ask ... i thought it was called "where you go i go too"?

concept album about sharing a bathroom

No Prins no credibility.

Wasn't there a full Lindstrom/Prins disc planned?

Okay now I'm excited : D

Don't go by me, tho. I'm overtired and basing that on a vague memory.

That's my solid gold seal of authenticity!

No Prins no credibility.

As already mentioned on the L&PT thread, there's a new track on Lindstrøm's myspace - a PT edit of one of the album tracks. Lllllovely.

Wasn't there a full Lindstrom/Prins disc planned?

yep, due in autumn.

only listened to where you go i go too once - it sounded lovely, just kept building and building. didn't really notice when one track turned into another.

No Prins no credibility.

but, they already did an utterly mediocre album together.

excited for this though.

but that Reinterpretations disc was far stronger than that 'utterly mediocre album' they did together (on which i agree).

and my bad, the title is the other way around.

listened to this driving around philadelphia last night, really perfect nighttime drive music. so much stuff going into it, too--jarre is a big one. michael shrieve. e2-e4. just a fantastic fucking album.

has he developed his sound at all? i ran out of patience with all his shit sounded increasingly samey and boring but then that sally shapiro remix really brought my hopes up.. and this: jarre is a big one. michael shrieve. e2-e4 makes me think good things too

finally got ahold of this...and it's fucking wicked. believe the ILM hype! the new edit of "great ideas" (or something) is a bit different from the version that he was giving out a year or two ago, but it's even better!

how would one recommend going about getting a hold of this

winston its still lindstrøm but way more proggy/druggy/scape-y. i think it definitely qualifies as an evolution--the closest thing i can think that hes done yet is nummer fire en (tho to be fair i might be saying that cause its the only other one as long as this one?)

grand ideas is the most disco, the rest are totally 'balearic' in the less dance-y sense

listening to this on the airplane yesterday, flying way above this incredibly bright wavy cloudscape and then descending through it into the rain was @_@

did i use that right

d@_@b

did you just call me a dweeb

no i drew a portrait of u listening on ur headphones

///0d@_@b

^^^ thats you on your headphones next to the airplane window while its raining outside

lol

i'm telling you tho, it was something else.

That title track is so... I don't know. My cup runneth over. Never been so glad with my 1,5+ hrs daily commute.

just before 7 mins into the last track is ALFJELIJFELIJl

Ohhhh, this is sooooo dreeeeeamy. ILM Hive Mind, once again I salute you.

i interviewed him and believe it or not, i kind of liked the album less after hearing him talk about it. it is very good--epic, atmospheric, groovin-- but i can't buy what he said about 'pushing the form' or anything like that. it's basically like Lindstrom doing a fantastic driving/workout mix, imho.

also, though i've mentioned this in the bobbins thread, i think that there's also a bit of jan hammer in him, more than i've ever heard before.

petition hp to release the yacht rock track we did

ya table i think theres a ton of jan hammer in this esp. in the title track

didn't realize 'grand ideas' is the track 'musikal overtones' used in the lindstrom & prins thomas essential mix from last summer until i heard it today

I kind of lost interest in Lindstrom (less so PT) over the last 18 months or so but I absolutely love this. It makes me want to get a train through the Swiss Alps wearing a pair of outsized sunglasses and an atrocious sweatband.

Can I just use this exact point of the universe to point out that the version of Boney M Down on Reinterpretations is the greatest thing ever.

funny, i'd lost interest in him too. but i got assigned to interview him and got the album, and was kind of floored by it. and despite what some think of as the 'wankiness' of the last track, i think it is totally awesome.

i must say, though, that i am glad i am done writing that piece.

so what Jan Hammer are you guys hearing in this? Miami Vice soundtrack? because i've been listening to a LOT of hammer lately and not hearing it. but i'm listening to his more fusion/pop/beardy stuff.

I hear less Hammer and more Cerrone (especially in the title track, which smacks of "Supernature" to me)

and how come my miami vice soundtrack lp doesnt' have crocket's theme. that's the one everyone seems to love, no? is that only on 12"?

his TV show stuff, and all of the incidental stuff he did for Miami Vice.

and Crockett's theme is only available on the best-of Miami Vice CD, and the Miami Vice Volume 2 (season 2) LP, which runs about 50 cents in most places, and also includes "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins.

cerrone AND Faltermeyer, methinks.

dudes this was also awesome driving through the czech countryside in the rain

i like (not being sarcastic) when ppl get so excited about a record that they start telling everyone what they are doing when they listen to it.

"I was eating slices of cheese and watching maury on mute ... this record is so dope!!!"

yeah, me too. i really liked sitting in Dolores park listening to it on a sunny day last week.

tickets bought for san francisco show Jan 31st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late to the party, as usual. But this is fabulous. Thank you, ILM 2008 poll!

perfect for glasgow to edinburgh train journey.

^ Shit, yes! Good thinking. Am going through east on Saturday, oddly enough, but will be in company of old buddy so soundtrack will be the talking of shit and the popping of cans.

you can double drop with the boredoms super roots 10 remix if you get delayed

i'm going to edinburgh on train en route to Newcastle on Friday so might try this.

will of course be listening to "Black Metal" by Venom on the Edinburgh to Toon part of the trip.

WYGIGT weirdly reminds me of this old forgotten french synth-pop number:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pZmnMgjEgeQ&hl=en&fs=1";></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pZmnMgjEgeQ&hl=en&fs=1"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

it sounds quite a bit like an automat tune to dsico bloodbath boys cane

9 minutes into title-track = ^_^

sweeeeeeeeet

oh wait aaaaaaargh why does the bassline RESOLVE in the last 20 seconds of fadeout! that is like the one black mark on this album

that drops it a whole 1.9 i guess

goes from 8.7 to 5.4 iirc

What do you mean?

it settles on one lower note when imo it should continue cycling - conclusion is pat, infinity is dope ^_^

look it's not rly a problem, this album is pretty damn dope

For sure. I get what you mean. I'm hearing "II" for the first time now (the album with Prins Thomas) and this shit is insane.

I think the epic soaring Balearic journey-through-space-and-time shit is my sorta thing as far as this stuff goes*, but I'd be interested to hear more Lindstrom!

*Would be interesting to poll this album vs West Coast, maybe with an option on Alex Moulton's Exodus too although I haven't heard that yet

I think West Coast would walk that poll, but nobody would say anything against this album in the process. Exodus wouldn't even get a look in.

Now, WYGIGT v Lindstrom and Prins Thomas v II v It's a Feedelity Affair v Real Life is No Cool would be interesting, though the Christabelle one is probably too new.

I'm totally torn as to this vs West Coast. On the one hand this doesn't have Out There or Indo on it, but on the other, it does flow like a motherfucker, and take you on a coherently awesome journey...

i would take WYGIGT over West Coast, but it's vv close.

all lindstrom poll would be impossible though - i love them all so much for different reasons.

that studio album is nowhere near as good as anything lindstrom has done

west coast just sounds like those shitty 'funk' albums on factory that no one except tony wilson gave a damn about

lindstrom poll would be interesting for the debate but almost as hard to choose as the fever ray poll. he does too many different things too well to pick just one

no

LJ, listen to "I Feel Space" by Lindstrom, it's amazing.

xxpost I hate you

west coast just sounds like those shitty 'funk' albums on factory that no one except tony wilson gave a damn about

It's like Marcello but with less correctness.

Louis has it really taken you this long to listen to it? It's like the most LJ-friendly dance album imaginable.

Nobody recommended it to me! They ought to have done. Will be pursuing Moulton next.

Also, In Sides is slightly more LJ-friendly imo

didn't realise the scandobalearic house mafia were policing this thread. is it problematic that i like lindstrom and don't like studio?

the yelpy 80s robert smith vocals on the studio are distracting to me. never heard lindstrom sing. also lindstrom no matter what kind of music he's doing has a certain smoothness and perpetual flow to his music. studio have a jerky fractured factory feeling that reminds me of a certain ratio. it interferes with me trying to get my cosmic disco groove on like i'm being needled in the kidneys by those basslines when i'm trying to lie back in the sun

"Problematic" only in the sense of being wrong. If it helps you to parse, Marcello's always been king of the "I was there the first time and saw through it even then" dismissals. Though he might add some allusion to actually telling Tony Wilson as much.

I like yr imagery in that last post, kidneys etc.

(and "wrong" only in the sense of "my mileage varies substantially", obv)

the yelpy 80s robert smith vocals on the studio are distracting to me

definitely - though i love studio in their non-vocal moments (that d.lissvik solo album was better than west coast, i thought)

studio have a jerky fractured factory feeling that reminds me of a certain ratio

not hearing this at all

so many varieties of rong in only 2 posts

OMG this album. I have no idea why I missed it for so long, but so glad for finding a used copy the other night. This is so so so great. Wishing I'd have had more time to import the bonus disc of the Prins Thomas edits though, I want more.

Going on a train right across the Alps in a couple of months, might have to dig this out again.

bears repeating

i fell space and universe = chop world down w/ kosmische feels

love this fucking album

if you're looking for a different experience check out the LP - quite different edits and cool in its own right.

Universe?

Inspired by this thread, I just copped the vinyl for $10 on eBay. Looking forward to blissing out to it!

damn, i never find good deals on eBay. I should try harder I think. anyway, i bought this on vinyl too and it's a great listen.

the title-track especially has aged so exquisitely

It’s magical, one of my favorite songs ever.

“grand ideas” is still so thrilling
