Boredoms Live only / Songbook Discography

Who has heard Seadrum yet? A record store clerk told me it's the best album of 2004. The store of course was out though.

remember when they played lollapalooza?!?!

In 94? Or was that the year Shonen Knife did?

The long awaited new Boredoms cd!! No foolin', it's here -- in the form of an admittedly expensive Japanese import. But we know of no plans for a domestic US release (no, wait, we just were told that there may be a Vice label release sometime early 2005), so if you're a fan of Eye and the Bore-tribe, you're gonna have to count your pennies. We thought they'd changed their name to Voordoms, as they were (sort of) billed last time they brought their psychedelic drum circle show on the road to San Francisco, but this says Boredoms right on it. Regardless, they've continued on with the hippie, rhythmic trance-drone sounds of their live shows, something also established on their last album, Vision Creation Newsun (and before that, too). As the title indicates, you get two 'songs' here -- "Seadrum" and "House Of Sun". Both of course are quite long! This is Boredoms in what we call their full 'Alice Coltrane' mode, with piano and female vocals and cosmic vibes galore. Lovely stuff. Reminds us of AQ-faves The Necks somewhat as well! Packaged in an opaque sparkly blue jewel case with title and artwork printed directly on the front.

i'd like to get it (Seadrum) but I refuse to pay that amount for a 2 song ep or whatever it is.

$37! But it's got cosmic vibes galore.

it's not that great actually. if i were paying $37, i'd go for one of the super roots (esp. 5 & 7) or rebore vol. 0, except i think that one's probably more now.

exactly. i've heard bits of both tracks and was sadly underwhelmed. i'm more interested in the dj pica pica pica album than this. the first super roots kinda sucks but super roots 6 is cool, wouldn't mind hearing some of the rest of those.

k, i now have the whole 'house of sun' track and it's like boredoms doing pelt. pretty good, veers close to the psych-parody of acid mothers temple but i like this way better than anything a.m.t. has done.

amt + gong

i liked it when they were funny

boredoms or gong?
