Lindstrom: Where You Go I Go Too

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:

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.

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 !

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
