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.

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

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

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.

Well, Pitchfork BNM for one.

If someone out there has somehow missed out on Terje's EP run and ILM poll-topping, I can see how they might get really excited about this hot new Scandinavian DJ dude with a silly name.

well well, it would appear Brian Bennett's Solstice was more than just an "inspiration" for Preben Goes to Acapulco. Listen to them back to back. Sounds to me like a near cover/reworking almost.

well, LOTS of pillaging. Straight up looting almost. Kinda reminds me how some TV commercial music is trying to evoke the memory of a pop song/melody/style, but not quite directly riffing it due to copyright violation.

This is definitely being promoted through different channels - 6music are giving it a lot of attention and I've not heard them bother with Lindstrom much.
Part of me wishes I was hearing this whole thing for the first time, Inspector Norse would feel like the natural peak of the whole thing rather than the result of an EP awkwardly shunted into a half-finished album.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 May 2014 08:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's not confusing so much given how accessible it is (i guess real life is no cool just came out too early) but a bit annoying given that i don't think it's half of what terje's capable of. it's sort of field-esque in its crossover to annoying people who display little interest in anything else like it (look at half the people in this thread who i've never seen in any ilm dance thread ever!)

x-post to Lex There might be... I dunno, other reasons for not posting in dance threads, other than just "don't like dance music"?
― Branwell with an N, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:07 (ten years ago) link
is it that the dance threads are boring b/c there's nothing to clusterfuck about?
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:09 (ten years ago) link
I was thinking more along the line of "specialist threads can be intimidating to non-experts".
― Branwell with an N, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:15 (ten years ago) link
they're also pretty boring though, but functional. like techno~~

it's a shame robbie williams 'candy' didn't make the album cut
― nathey, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:28 (ten years ago) link
Yeah the dance music threads are tedious because they're by and large just people posting Youtube links, which is okay to browse (although I hate hearing music like that, especially dance music) but don't assume that people aren't interacting with them just because they're not posting.
it's sort of field-esque in its crossover to annoying people who display little interest in anything else like it
Ugh we don't need to do this every time something that isn't straight-up indie becomes popular.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:37 (ten years ago) link
I mean most cosmic disco (including Lindstrom) has minimal interest in promoting itself to people outside its main audience, although Lindstrom has obviously had mad Pitchfork love for years that's partly because of word-of-mouth. Whether that's the labels or the artists or both I don't know.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:39 (ten years ago) link
Like, when Delorean Dynamite and Inspector Norse have been played on the radio, people's ears in my office (people who aren't really that into music at all) pricked up, the same would probably happen in the case of I Feel Space as well.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 May 2014 09:41 (ten years ago) link
i don't post in dance threads but i love dance music
― macklin' rosie (crüt), Thursday, 22 May 2014 14:50 (ten years ago) link
Same here. If anyone wants to direct me to some other albums that are similar to this or Lindstrom, I'd really appreciate that. They are two of my favourite artists around and I'd love to hear something else similar. It's a little intimidating to go on specialist threads sometimes and as Matt DC pointed out going through a bunch of YouTube links can sometimes be a bit much.
