Evan, Friday, 11 April 2014 14:27 (ten years ago) link

even from listening to it as background music at the office, the hooks and textures from this album have burrowed into my skull.

i love this album.

was going nuts today trying to figure out what 70s funk or jazz or kraut song was stuck in my head. just now realized it's "Preben Goes To Acapulco"

find myself disproportionately loving the intro track

anonanon, Friday, 18 April 2014 14:53 (ten years ago) link

^ totally! that intro track is tight, i want an extended, explosion-less version

Good album but I'm itching now to re-edit it, resequence it and fvck with the tracklisting. (Really doesn't need Norse on the end as an encore, f'rinstance. OTOH, Myggsommer could have fitted in well.) What the hell happened to Ferry's voice? :'(

I got the Rough Trade bonus disk too - there's a slightly longer version of Svensk Sås, which doesn't improve any for the lengthening. Otherwise, just different edits - nice to haves but not essential - and a version of J & M sans Ferry.

I wish he would have tried a little harder with the drums on a couple of tracks on the album. the synths sound great.

Just got a vinyl copy of the album as a birthday gift from my mother-in-law

True, though tbh, she didn't just randomly pick it out for me

nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Saturday, 19 April 2014 20:33 (ten years ago) link

i rescind my comments, fuck your unimaginative m-i-l

smooth hymnal (m bison), Saturday, 19 April 2014 20:36 (ten years ago) link

Hey now, let's not go overboard

nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Saturday, 19 April 2014 20:37 (ten years ago) link

Wasn't familiar with his work. Loving the album and the silliness of sounds/cover art/title

Shin Oliva Suzuki, Monday, 28 April 2014 03:42 (ten years ago) link

I have now twice mowed the lawn while blasting this album from the porch. Excellent lawn-mowing music, if you're curious.

My lawn is not metaphorical. But that, too.

Todd Terje/Todd Terry

I only noticed that yesterday

paolo, Monday, 28 April 2014 13:10 (ten years ago) link

i listened to this album while watching the '80s sex comedy spring break with the sound turned off this weekend and it worked very well

socki (s1ocki), Monday, 28 April 2014 15:34 (ten years ago) link

also good for making bread and butter pudding to (as I did last night)

Jeff W, Monday, 28 April 2014 17:25 (ten years ago) link

oh cool i was wondering

socki (s1ocki), Monday, 28 April 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link

i wrote a computer program with it. good album for that.

caek, Monday, 28 April 2014 18:05 (ten years ago) link

while it was playing i mean. i didn't use the album to write the program.

caek, Monday, 28 April 2014 18:05 (ten years ago) link

I converted Terje's arpeggios into hexadecimal code and found that I had created full sentient artificial intelligence

nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Monday, 28 April 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link

I manipulate where the moving objects (Todd Terje) are located or where they despawn, then I swap the item in Terje's mouth with a flying ?-block (thus the yellow glitched shell) and using a glitch (stunning) to spawn a sprite which isn't used by Terje and since it tries to jump to the sprite routine location, it indexes everything wrong and jumps to a place I manipulated earlier with the sprites (OAM) and because of the P-Switch it jumps to controller registers and from there the arbitrary code execution is started.

This album sure is a snooze, alright

, Monday, 28 April 2014 23:08 (ten years ago) link

i "did it" to this album of songs

mattresslessness, Monday, 28 April 2014 23:18 (ten years ago) link

sent in your college application?

socki (s1ocki), Monday, 28 April 2014 23:25 (ten years ago) link

i wrote a program to mow the lawn with this album

YSI? It rained here last night.

I love "It's Album Time" so fucking much

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Sunday, 4 May 2014 03:10 (ten years ago) link

Really dig some tunes on the new one. Can't say sex ever crossed my mind while listening to it, though.

, Sunday, 4 May 2014 03:15 (ten years ago) link

Preben reminds me a little of Standards-era Tortoise but higher intensity

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Sunday, 4 May 2014 03:21 (ten years ago) link

todd terje lost me after inspector norse :(

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 4 May 2014 11:32 (ten years ago) link

cool get lost in another thread

smooth hymnal (m bison), Sunday, 4 May 2014 21:54 (ten years ago) link

man, I was blazing down Queens Blvd in the sun blasting this thing today with the windows open like a complete asshole, so fun

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 May 2014 02:29 (ten years ago) link

I own and enjoy It's album time, but I'm kind of with Durrr here.

Fiddler on a hot tin roof (ed.b), Monday, 5 May 2014 02:39 (ten years ago) link

cool there's at least 45 other threads on ilx u can be on to discuss things

smooth hymnal (m bison), Monday, 5 May 2014 03:25 (ten years ago) link

otm

*pulls up next to ed.b at a red light, rolls down window right when the house piano on "Strandbar" comes in*, peels out*

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 May 2014 03:30 (ten years ago) link

So sorry I hurt your fragile opinion by not actually disagreeing with it.

Anyways, pre-crossover TT > post-crossover TT

Fiddler on a hot tin roof (ed.b), Monday, 5 May 2014 14:05 (ten years ago) link

a purist

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 May 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link

Rolls down window, floors it as Eurodans synth stabs come in.

Fiddler on a hot tin roof (ed.b), Monday, 5 May 2014 14:54 (ten years ago) link

What's the matter ed.b, chicken?

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 May 2014 14:54 (ten years ago) link

house piano > Eurodans synth stabs

Cronk's Not Cronk (Eric H.), Monday, 5 May 2014 15:10 (ten years ago) link

Some parts of this album, Leisure Suit Preben in particular, remind me of a more lighthearted version of DJ Food.

how's life, Monday, 5 May 2014 15:43 (ten years ago) link

this album seems to be more popular than I expected

ogmor, Monday, 5 May 2014 15:51 (ten years ago) link

I kind of wondering if they're promoting through different channels. I first found out about it because a friend who is not normally into this sort of thing was listening to it on spotify.

Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 May 2014 15:56 (ten years ago) link

Well, Pitchfork BNM for one.
