Lindstrom: Where You Go I Go Too

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.

i played it in my kitchen while doing dishes, which was way more fun when listening to this than the new nas

That third track is the closest to really capturing the DJ set vibe - the first 10mins or so are all "you've been listening to West Coast a lot haven't you?" and then that slower funk thing comes in and it's like he's just effortlessly layered one record over the other. It's one hell of a moment.

it's loads better than west coast

Matt: rite!
lex: rong!

Flipsides of the same coin. It's all good.

Duh Matt, West Coast has indie vocals.

(still got love tho lex)

(I listened to Nivea's "Parking Lot" tonight and thought of you)

Carry on Rest-of-ILM - I haven't heard this album yet but desperately want to.

(Sorry T_G - it's not really cool to post whole albums here)

sorry!

Really great album indeed. I've been listening to this and the Alex Moulton for a week or so everyday on my commute that's almost exactly the same length as those albums.

jax 'crockett's theme' is on the volume one of pure moods

which is frankly a must-own

Can't think of much to articulate about this yet but I deffo like it, majorly for 'The Long Way Home' when it just *ascends* (deej said the same thing a while back I guess?)

i have zero use for anything I've heard from this guy before this, but i'll definitely be buying this album. after one listen i'd say it has some serious 'classic' potential for me.

hahah totally

this record really lends itself to that kind of shit tho--its so consciously (esp the title piece) a 'soundtrack' joint that it makes the setting in which you listen to it really important.

the first record i think of when i think about music doing that is 'right here, right now' by fatboy slim

its not just the record in this case either its what lindstroms been saying abt it

right now i am listening to it in my kitchen posting to ilx

I am listening to it at work and it's making my copyediting SO EPIC

love that synth riff all thru the first track

ruh ruh REE ruh RAHHHH

Oh yeah totally - he's self-consciously gone for the Trans Europe Express/Tour De France big widescreen travelogue soundtrack atmosphere, right down to the panting noises. But unlike those albums there are no concrete references, it's so evocative while devoid of actual connotations that you can project it onto anything and it just *works*.

Starting to think this might turn out to be the album of the year.

matt otm. can't stop listening to this, in its entirety each time.

it is basically all i have listened to since i've been in czech... except that 50 cent mixtape once and some sam cooke.

listening to this while listening to 50 cent mixtape yesterday, it was @_@

lol

i was trying to figure where Lindstrom got the inspiration for those double time arpeggios that lead into the slo-mo balearic groove in the third part of the album and then i gave Michael Shrieve - Transfer Station Blue another listen... strikingly similar.

GUYS

i had another amazing listening to lindstrøm while travelling in the czech republic moment!!!

and it beats all the rest!!!

i was in a bus from cesky krumlov.. like just a couple of hours ago, and i was listening to "i feel space." i was thinking about that boards of canada video with the archival footage of the dude parachuting from really high, and about how it would make a much better video for IFS.

the sun was setting but it was kind of overcast with those glorious shafts of light coming through, all god-style. i look out the window and the sky is FULL of skydivers, at various heights, all descending to land in a field just up ahead!

it was GLORIOUS!!!!!!

how are you all hearing this? promos? leaks?

THE MUSIC CAME OUT OF THE SKY

mehlt, webmail me and i will send the album to you.

Nevermind It's soulseekable now. Normally I'm not so eager, but this seems like something I'd very much want to actually buy when it comes out, which is when by the way? early august?

Xpost, thanks for the offer though!

x-post When's it coming out officially?

August 18th. and by the way, all this stuff about him splitting up one long track into three is, according to him, utter BS. rumor started at SXSW.

what does that mean? that the CD will only have one track?

yes and it will be beamed directly into your brain from a zeppelin that he will fly around the world

guys i saw parachuters

no no no. my language was poor-- people originally thought that the record was going to be one long track, and that the label and him decided to split it into three. not that way at all-- he originally planned it as three tracks that flow into each other quite well.

phew i started freaking out there for a sec

the title-track especially has aged so exquisitely

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

“grand ideas” is still so thrilling
