maybe it's just me but there's kind of a slits-y vibe underpinning the gamelan stuff, esp. on that song xp

there's also some 'you' era gong in places.

man, glad to see "Gold and Green" at the top. I kept trying to get into Feather Float, which is still great, but I always remember thinking Gold and Green provided better experiences overall.
I feel like these guys are really underrated, but I can't really say that because I haven't actually listened to that much. Need to get back on it.

I listened to raincoats odyshape right after this one the other day and that paired well. production is nice and airy and spacious on both of em.
vinyl is def a nice thing to have. even has those classy plastic sleeves for the individual records.

this is probably my favorite ooioo at this point. or maybe gold & green. but def one of those two.

Listening to "Gamel" on vinyl right now. NICE! Drum circle halfway through side "A", with chorus of people chanting "Twee twee twee" and some sick buzzed out high freq synth flying in and out like a little electric bird. Spaced out gamelan ambient stuff is nice too. I saw some gamelan a few years ago at Emory University and it was a pretty transcendental experience, so I feel like this record is going to be amazing.
You can't go wrong w OOIOO (or any of the Boredoms for that matter).

I'm going to see them in a few weeks, very excited

"Shizuku Gummy Agung", the first track on side B, is SICK

they're playing in NYC at Les Poisson Rouge tonight!
saw them two nights back at rough trade (with a j0n w!ll!ams and a whiney) and it was fuckin' awesome, one of the better shows of the year for me.

This album sounds great but I can barely make it through a whole track... Not sure if that makes it truly great or what..

I been getting into this band a bit; rn I have Taiga, Feather Float, and Gold & Green on my phone. I think "Sai" from Taiga is my #1 fav standout track so far.

Oh no, that's awful. I've been listening to OOIOO a lot recently, especially Feather Float.

soooo... new album “nijimusi” out on thrill jockey in january. but for whatever reason, you can listen to the whole thing on apple music right now. three track in and it rocks!
― BringTheAuBonPain, Sunday, 27 October 2019 08:07 (four years ago) link
i've been psyched for this for a while - no way to order it from japan that i can find, sadly. this news might make me consider taking up that free 3 months apple music trial.
― stirmonster, Sunday, 27 October 2019 15:01 (four years ago) link
hey, i don't have any insights on the new material, but i thought i'd share a live set that i found on my personal google music library: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iFadbf5C7ttgcj7FbBL4EibM4wj10zb9
it was recorded in chicago in the fall of 2004, so it's mostly kila kila kila material. if i remember correctly, i downloaded it from the thrill jockey website when they used to have a whole page for free downloads — mostly just a free track from whatever a band's current album was, but sometimes more substantial / exclusive stuff like this live set. the songs are not split up; it's just two long tracks. it's really good. hope you enjoy.
