They dont sound like Baroness or Mastodon either, so maybe ;)
I dislike Pavement far more than either Baroness or Mastodon. Exponential difference in loathing.

Yes, Midnight Marauders is as summery as a jar of fireflies. Playing that album, even in the dark depths of a Michigan February, will make me fiend for lemonade.

They were so good on the Midnight Maruders tour. Probably my favorite Tribe album - I have that extra layer of attachment to those songs because they kicked such ass.

I loved this album upon its release. "Starstruck" and "American Guitars" are wonderful songs. The problem is Haines' vocals: he sings like a wuss. Even Neil Tennant sang with more force.

burger/ink's 'las vegas' is great. for some reason every track on that album has a title that pays tribute to roxy music.
― pro bowl was fun (omar little), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 19:09 (1 year ago)
[las vegas]by Burger/Ink, one of the best albums of the 90's and still sounds so fresh. I think Kompakt could release it now and it would still seem brand new.

Burger/Ink's "Las Vegas" is ageless... which I think is a test for a truly classic album.

Burger/Ink's Las Vegas is unstoppable, easily one of the best dance full-lengths ever release.
― Bill in Chicago, Friday, 27 April 2007 22:06 (3 years ago)
This is very true by the way, though I wouldn't call the album "dance". It's the perfect midpoint between Ink's minimalism and Burger's more melodic sensibility, I don't really know any other record that sounds like it.

Burger/Ink's Las Vegas epitomises this for me. This kind of thing is my favourite sound I think. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier is a prototype. Reich, obviously. Basinski's loops. A lot of Bossa does it in its own way. Plenty of Krautrock tracks but can't think of any albums as a whole. Motorik etc.
